in the window

finally made it to kindergarten round up for ty david gray. k.i.n.d.e.r.g.a.r.t.e.n. wow!  my little buddy, my tyster the myster. all ready for big school now.  can't believe all three are actually going to be in school now.  we got the grand tour of the school and ty got to take his very first bus ride.  note his face in the window.  

weeks of therapy

 here is another fabulous idea in the gray household.  again - eric's fault.  eric thought it would be a wonderful experience to have a few ducklings, raise them until they were big enough and let them free in a pond to live a wonderful life.  i don't know why, but at some point i went along with it.  eric built a coop of some sort, with a little swimming pool and all the fixin's.  it was quite the responsibility for the kiddos.  play with them after school, keep them fed, and lock them up at night so God knows what wouldn't eat them.

well.

something ate them.  each one.  one by one.  each on a different day.  good lord.  what a dramatic mess.  oh ya, eric was in school for all of the latter part.  the kids have recovered after weeks of therapy.  :)

peas in a pod

this is how eric and ty have fun all day.  they are two peas in a pod.  

kambel was

bahahahahahahahahahaha.  i LOVE this picture.  the girls had 'camo' day (yes only in tennessee) for school to kick off an event.  we found the girls shirts, but matching.  kadence wasn't too happy.  but kambel was!

your phone

this next entry is totally eric's fault.  haha.  i was off somewhere and the kiddos were playing on the swing set.  i guess kadence was trying to do some stunt and landed on her chin.  hard to tell in the first picture unless you know her face like her mother does.  it looks like she had a chin implant.  i just about died when i saw her.  it bruised nicely.  most of the photos i had were on my phone...that fell in water.  don't keep photos on your phone.

happy easter

happy easter!

crazy kids

going back to school to become board certified has taken a ton of my 'free' time up.  it has been a struggle on many levels, one of which has been less time entertaining the kids.  i guess it can be considered a blessing and a way to move me past constantly finding something for them to do.  they are old enough to take care of their basic needs and allow me time to study.  with eric gone 6-7 months a year, it has been interesting to say the least, to see what they come up with to play.  

many times they set up an exercise routine and work out down stairs.  ha!  wish my workouts looked liked this.

and other times they set up 'spa day' and have a shop with services.  yes, i have to pay to get a foot massage or a shoulder rub.  crazy kids.
