A boy and his shells

Owen is obsessed with Cicada shells.

Everyday, we have to go to each tree and see how many shells he can find. He loves to hang them on his shirt, line them up on the tree or just tote them around with him.

Rainbow Fun

The boys were having a blast playing on the rainbow the other day.

Just like Bub

Owen decided to get creative with marker the other day. When asked why he drew on himself he said, "I just like Bub."

Bub is his cousin who has tattoos on his arms.

Chillin'

This is what Keegan does these days when he is taking his bath.

Notice his legs and how he has his little feet in the water.

Ike Effect

So crazy to be talking about Hurricane Ike here in Indiana, but yesterday we had some MAJOR winds.

We ended up fine here just lost quite a few limbs and branches. We were also without power from 11:30 - 4:20. That was really not fun at all, especially on football Sunday.

Owen was also cute. He decided about an hour into us having lost power that he wanted to watch TV. I explained to him how we couldn't because we did not have power. His answer, "Well, go find it." I am glad someone finally found our power and sent it back home.

Downtown here had the most damage with blown out windows, walls off of some places, siding and roof shingles.

Knowing the destruction here, I am thinking of all down south that are dealing with recovering from Ike.

Are you ready for some football???

Woo Hoo

It is finally that time of year again, football season!

We love to watch football in this house and on Sundays you can find all the kids decked out in their Tampa Bay Buccaneer gear.

This year was no different, except that we added a new member to our team.

Camera fun

Just playing around with my camera and a few settings.

Bryce was at school so he is not in any of these.
