Some pictures taken last week

Its time for a few pictures so here you go. they aren't the best closeups but in them you can see a little of what my days are like : ). In this first picture Eric is showing you how he can pull up and cruise. I imagine walking won't be long now.
Bubbles Yay

Farm shot. I took this picture our the window to show how well our cow gets along with the horses. With the tractor in the shot it really makes our place look like a farm. LOL



I think Kayla lost her stirrup on that last barrel : ) If you don't know what I'm talking about you really need to go to a rodeo.



For some reason I haven't taken many sleeping photos of Eric. But this one caught my attention during one of his naps last week.

computer issues

I keep intending to post here but keep procrastinating thinking that I'll be able to post pics. Ever since our computer crashed in January we haven't had things back together correctly. We will eventually get our computer back but for now we're using an old one and so we don't have things as easily accessible as normal.
You'll just have to read without getting current pictures.
Allergies are taking over our household. Eric has really struggled with them and has had an ear infection and a low grade fever for the past week. Today he had some lab work done so hopefully we can figure something out to help him feel better. I'm tired of giving him 5 different medicines each day, I feel like its all I do. In addition to the 5 presciption meds he has been getting probiotics and tylenol or ibuprofen, Just too many meds! However he is so good. He is such a happy baby. Today he never cried and just smiled the whole time both at the Dr.s office and the hospital where his blood was drawn. He is also cruising along walls one handed. He has decided the best way to carry things is in his mouth so its not unusual to see him crawling across the room with toys in his mouth as a way to transport them from one end of the room to the other. I guess thats why Kayla thinks he is her puppy dog.
Kayla's favorite thing to do is play in the dogs water. Of course this really annoys mommy. Yesterday she got to play at some friends house and I told her to Obey their mommy. I am told she obeyed perfectly and that one time she was going to play in their dogs water dish and when she was told very nicely not to she never tried again. Let me tell you it never happens like that at home : ). Kayla is growing up so fast. She got to finger paint the other day and paint her hands to make handprints and now she thinks all paint goes all over her hands : ).
It hasn't rained here in months and our pasture is dry and dead. We have had to buy hay since the beginning of December and as of now we don't see an end to it. We are really praying for rain but I guess there is always a good side to everything. We haven't had to worry about our dirt road this winter.
I'll try to post pictures soon. If you want to see what we look like I guess you'll have to come visit us.
