Seeing Double

I have yet to put them on the scales, but I do believe they are the same height, weight, etc.

{4 1/2 months apart}

"You are gonna GIVEMEAHUG!!"

"I need some space!"

"I'm appalled!!

Seems kind of boring to just stand here with our hands in our pockets."

"Who's taller? Okay, that's not a fair question. Whose hair is darker?"

"We're still friends."

After church we headed to Dixie to eat with some friends {some new, some old}...

we stayed 'til the restaurant ran out of food to give the boys...

Been farmin' long?

I brought home a little souvenir from my week at Stacy's...Ben! :)

He's staying with us for the weekend and he and Raegen are having so much fun together.

Today the boys played outside while me and the hubs worked on the fort.
I would say their favorite time of day was "eat" time!

These are the words I hear ALL day, "wannaeat, wannaeat, wannaEAT!" :)

If you've noticed, Ben prefers the "bill to the back" and may be starting a fashion trend. Though, it's a skill that takes a little time to master...

My little twin thugs farmers.

{notice the progress on the fort!}

All that play can only mean one thing...

BATH TIME!!

They are all dried off, lotioned up, and sleeping peacefully!

Hey bidder, bidder, bidder!!

While mom's away, the boys will play...

Friday morning the three oldest boys and myself were home alone. The rest of the fam had gone for a doctor visit and to see great-grandparents.

With the place to ourselves, we felt an auction was in order.

Ben took part by choosing which pieces of "equipment" would be up for bid...

Grif hauled small loads with his Ford tractor...

And the larger loads were chained to the trailer...

"Duck!"

The trusty John Deere/Caterpeg was put to good use too...

Once they got it all lined up, there was quite a selection...

Grif was giving me his, "we ain't lettin' this stuff go for cheap, Aunt Rah", face.

I was the only bidder, but then Madisyn showed up and gave me a run for my money...

Ty proved be a great auctioneer {notice he's in his sound truck}...

What a great way to spend the day. I ran out of money too soon and didn't get to purchase a few items I really had my eye on. Maybe next time. ;)

Meet the Stain's

My boys came to visit today. It was nice to see them, even if it was for a short while.

Tickle, Tickle

O Henry!

Poor Henry rarely catches a break from me and my cam...

every yawn...

every wiggly toe...

every loving glance...

I just want to document it all.

He's here!!!

Walter Henry arrived at 7:07pm,

weighing 9lbs 2oz.

He was 21.5" long. He and fam are happy and healthy...

Classy Cake - Course 2 Graduation

Friday we had our final course 2 cake class.

We learned the basketweave and rope border techniques.

M's cake

A's cake

My cake!

Friday was also Grandpa's birthday and I had been commissioned to bake and ice a

German Chocolate cake, but I was all caked out! :)

Instead, I sent my finale cake for him and Mawmaw to enjoy.

The three of us caught on quickly to the basketweave and rope border technique.

Thankfully it's a technique that looks impressive even from a beginner! :)

I'm anxious to try another basketweave and improve my technique.
