april fools

boy did we get fooled today. here we think we are supposed to have spring weather since it's the first day of april. but oh no, instead we get about 2 inchs of snow. it's still snowing so we could wake up to even more in the morning.

i was being nice and drove down the road to my in-laws to pick up missy. she will sometimes stay the night at our house but for the most part she likes to stay with the grandparents 99% of the time. last winter they would call me and tell me to come pick up my dog because it was so cold in her dog house. i did it a few times and then decided that if the dog really wants to sleep inside she can walk her butt home.

jayden's new bike

jayden has been long over due for a new bike for a couple of years now. grandma and grandpa durrant stopped by the house to suprise jayden with a new bike. grandma however came up with a contract that jayden has to abide by in order to keep his new bike.
1. he has to teach bubba how to ride his old bike.
2. he has to read to grandma everyday (except sunday) for 20 minutes.
3. he has to quickly obey when he is asked to do something by an adult.
she had quite the list going. i can't remember the rest. jayden was excited because his bike looks just like logan's bike. jayden tried to give bubba a pump but bubba didn't want to try. give him some time and i think he will give in.

the trampoline

the boys were outside jumping on the trampoline. i looked outside to check on them and noticed that dusty had jumped up there with them. i have never seen a dog jump up on a trampoline. dusty practically follows jayden wherever he goes so it was bound to happen. and yes we decided to keep her. we never found her owner and the boys fell absolutely in love with her. it would have broken their hearts if we would have gotten rid of her.

last year

i am trying to be better about posting. i am posting pictures from last year and putting them in the date they took place. so you will have to go back to november and december to see pictures from thanksgiving, jayden's baptism, christmas, etc.

up on the house top

goat was hanging out on the top of his house. he loves to climb up on anything. yesterday it snowed and you could tell he wasn't very happy. i think he is ready for spring like the rest of us!

dusty

a couple of weeks ago there was this stray dog that was roaming around the neighborhood. well one of jay's scouts down the road brought her to our house wanting to know what to do with her. we chained her up and fed her so we could see if we could find her owner. we have since named her dusty because her tail is so fluffy and like a duster. the boys have fallen in love with her. the boys also love to race with dusty. we made up a sign and haven't had any luck finding her owner. still not sure what we are going to do with her.

i like mountain dew

jay has a new student. he has taught emily to say " i like moutain dew" and then gives her a treat. we have gotten a lot of laughs from this.
