"Of all the animals, the boy is the most unmanageable." ~Plato

Fun Facts:

• Degan is hardwired a "Boy". He loves to watch "crash". (Any show that shows things crashing, like Nitro Circus)
• He can spend the whole day outside just pushing his Tonka dump truck.
• He LOVES fruit snacks.
• Degan is so independent... He has to walk everywhere by himself, and do everything by himself!
• Big time "fomer". (train lover)
• Such a smarty. He has a fantastic memory, counts, and talks up a storm.
• Daddy's #1 fan, and the other way around too!

Those are just a few thing that make him so special... I could go on and on and on! I am so happy that he is in our life. He is such a fantastic kid!

Happy Birthday Degers!

Time machine?

Good bye March... there seems to be a pattern with all of these months... The are all flying bye! Before we know it summer will be here and gone, and then Christmas will pass, and we'll be saying hello to 2010. How do you slow down time? Well until I can get my hands on a time machine, I guess I'll just have to slow down. Here are some of my favorite pictures from last month...

This was a cool little hideout the Carmack girls found in New Braunsfuel (sp). All of the kids and Craig are inside, trying to make room for Kodi Lynn

Paige, Zoe and me inside the hideout

This funny woodland creature wanted to get up close and personal with Kodi... I was very nervous!

I LOVE this picture. Craig is showing Livee how to fish, and Kodi Lynn thought it was so great. I just think it's a cute little country pic!

The Von Rajc's family welcomed a cute little boy, Brocton, into the family in Feb. Kodi was so excited to hold him. She is already quite the babysitter!

Feb. 2009

Nan, Pops, Letti, and Cole came out to visit us too. We were so happy to have them, that we didn't want to share. Hahaha. Just kidding. We had a great time. We took them out to eat the first and second night, and then headed for Justin, Tx to see the rest of the Family. It was so much fun. I miss having us all together. We all have such a great time together. I know this is an odd pic. I thought it was so funny though. Tad had decided to give Heidi a hair cut himself... It was so funny. Look at all that hair. Poor girl. Tad cut pretty close a few times.

Nan and Cole having a nap... I don't know how restful it was.

I love this picture! The Boys being Boys! They all look so happy.

Feb. 2009 ~Valentines Day~

Yes I know it is now April 2nd... And yes I have seriously neglected my blog. Here I am though posting on a very speedy February. And when I'm done maybe even a speedier March! As you can see cupid came and "heart-attacked" our home... Kodi has learned to spell and write her name. Which she is pointing out on her gift that cupid left her. "K O D I" "It's Mine!!!"

Degan is counting and collecting all of the hearts around the house. He can count so well. He can make it to 12 with very little mistakes or help.

Our holiday wall. Notice our cute V-day cards. Thanks Rowdy and Norris Family!

Below: Of course Budah was attacked! He doesn't look like he minds though.

It was a nice Valentines Day! Hope you all had a nice one to.
