a morning story by big bro


















why is it that children are so perfectly sweet first thing in the morning? maybe because they are recharged, replenished and SUPERcharged for the new, exciting day that awaits them. here's to another day of the joys of being a mother")

my precious children


what a hoot this kid is!
my kitchen helpers
today is a day i enjoy. my day off with my boys. i don't work lots, just enough to satisfy my need to do something i absolutely adore, and a perfect balance to spend valuable time raising our children. and i hug them extra tight, and am grateful for decisions made to keep them healthy and happy. god willing, i hope it stays this way.

fun little photos




my mom & her sisters used to line up their shoes all along the big hallway at grandma & grandpa's so i had to do this with my boys. we won't do my collection, we don't want mr. harrison to go on that tangent again:)

big bird


usually this lovely little spot for dinner has eeny weeny delicate birds feeding here. not this time, one huge monster wild turkey, truly an interesting creature

old news but none the less...hard core bronco fan

our $15 (rip of initially, but worth it for the fun we had with it) "noise" maker
lets move it move it!
matching shirts
the bronco fan himself
war paint
didn't stop moving the whole time.......
one of the bronco's first games they have this fan thing that the people best dressed up in their fan "garb" can win $500. so we dressed haden up and he made it to the top 5 or 6. out of probably 40 kids. so that was cool, he won a really cool innovation duffle bag. he was still scared of charlie horse, he got to go down on the rink and recieve his prize. maybe next year he'll get over that one.
i really did want a girl, but now that i have two boys packed with personality, i can't imagine it any other way. they keep us entertained continually. and i guess i'll just have to become a little more passionate about sports, especially the hockey one.

the strouds (super mom sus with 3 boys...kudos girl!)
can you just see that they had every intention of pulling an all nighter?? from coloring in the dark, to all trying to sleep on the floor, to bubble gum in the night, to who know's what else, so funny to hear what they cook up for ideas, afterall 3 minds are better than one?? ha ha!
