Best Babysitter Ever


I have found a new favorite babysitter. Kitties! All the kids, but especially Heidi could spend hours outside playing with the baby kitties. At night I ask her what she wants to do the next day and it's always play with the baby kitties. I have to be firm about having jammies changed before she can go out there in the morning, because she would stay in her jammies all day if I didn't make her change first. I remember as a kid spending hours with baby kitties, wrapping them up in blankets and just mothering them. Great childhood memories.


We just got 5 new ones about a week ago. They are tiny and so cute.




There are also 5 bigger kitties. They are lots of fun.


Notice the BLUE shirt Heidi has on. She's being brave and trying a different color!





Grandma Great and Heidi having some bonding time.








Brandon loves kitties


Christopher is playing with the only long haired one. Fluffy. I'm not a fan of long haired cats, but this one is sooo cute. Look at that awesome farmer's tan!



Tyler LOVES to be outside. He is not so gentle with the kitties. He likes to get one in each hand and crawl with them. It's not so fun for the kitties. It's fun to watch though!

He loves to climb in and out of the kitty box. Every night he is just one GIANT dirt ball.


The little stink STILL isn't walking! He's 13 1/2 months. He has been walking a little since before his birthday, like from me to Darin. He really does the best when he's not thinking about it and just takes off. He can even stand up in the middle of the floor and start walking. He just doesn't do it much. Crawling is just easier. He's starting to do more walking though. Hopefully before he's 14 months.


Actually I don't really want him to walk too bad. It's easier to do things outside because I know he can't get anywhere very fast. He is growing up plenty fast.

Man, you are a poster, I guess that means you are having fun. I love kitties, I wish we had one or two. I love the boys' short hair cuts! Way to go on the blue shirt Heidi!!

I was going to say, look at those awesome farmer muscles. Those are cute pictures, I think Thomas is going to love seeing kittens, me, not so much. I really like Heidis hair flipped out in the first picture too!

So, I am really trying to talk Connor into getting a kitty. Mara and I want one so bad. You will forsure have some for us! They are so cute, I want an orange one or a white one. I guess the biggest thing is whether or not we are in our house.

Heidi's hair is so cute and I am loving the blue shirt. I think Taylor wears too much blue and brown because she gets called a boy at least once every time I go out. I'm with Ashley about the cat thing. I can handle kitties a lot better than big cats though. I'm so excited to have a yard someday. Tyler is such a cutie.

So cute! I love when kids first learn to walk. Tyler is going to seem so grown-up to me when I see him. Your boys are all so handsome. What a fun trip to Durkies. I loved going there when I was a teenager. Darin and I jumped off some high cliffs there (at lease they seemed really high at the time) Can't wait to see you. We're coming the 20th and staying until the 3rd! Yippee! This will be my longest trip home ever. I'm so excited.
