It's been forever since I blogged last and kids have grown so much since then.  James is now 7 months old.  I recently was at my parent's in AZ helping to care for my mom who broke her ankle in three places.  My dad has a rack of ties hanging in the room, some quite old. In the middle of the bunch I found this little tie that James has on.  It belonged to my little brother.  My mom told me to take it and give it to Madison for James.  Mad was so excited so James wore it to church the next day.  He had a little vest (below) to add to his Sunday dress and he looked like a little man!  So cute!  Here he looks like a high school kid having to dress for game day and having to borrow a tie from his dad.  He is quite the handsome little guy!

James and Macie

Madison thought of these little masks for St. Patrick's Day.  The boys were excited to make them and wear them.  After this, though, Tatiana had to take them for a ride so that Jaxon could take a nap.  They had been fighting all day with Bailey and Jordan.  

So Saturday we were mowing and weed-eating the yard and Don found this little snake.  Chris shot it with his bb gun and killed it so Antonio decided to dissect it and show all the kids.  Luckily Don has gloves in his work van and the boys had to have them on like their Uncle Tone.  Antonio skinned the snake after they were done looking at the insides and Bryson and Chris layed it out to dry.  

Cute little Macie is 10 months old.  She loves to stand and wave.  She says "Hi" and sometimes I almost think she says "hi Da" to me.  Jaxon's pet name for me and Tatiana is "Da".  

One of the kids' favorite thing to do is look for crawdads.  They found a bunch of baby ones which they got to hold.  

Not sure what Jordan was eating but I thought this was a cute picture.

What do you think he was thinking?  I didn't take this picture so it couldn't have been "really? another picture?"

He loves baseball!
