St Patricks day 2025

All three kids either thier traps.

He came!

But we didn't catch him.

The cops also came! Haha! Our 2 yext door neoghbors have been fighting for years. And unfortunately this has been become the normal to have cops on the street. One neighbor is now in jail after going after the cops. So hopefully things will be more quiet.

The cops lights seen from on our bedroom wall from a crack in the curtains.

The kids slept thru it all. But it was definitely an eventful st. Patricks day.
 

Introducing Leo

 The Saturday after Lues passing we adopted little Leo. He had helped heal the hole in our hearts and is such a silly playfully cat. The pictures up loaded backwards...

The place we got him from sent a cat friendly cake yo make and share with him.

Brothers being lazy together. The other cats accepted him fairly quick.

Playin in the sink.

Enslie cuddles.

In the sink the first time...

He climbed in the hard way.

More cuddles. 

playing with the coins the leprechaun left.

All three cats in the same room.

Bonding time.

The place we adopted him from let us play with him in a room for a bit. It was Love at first sight for this girl! I asked her what she was gonna name him ans she said she wasn't sure. Then he ran away to play she said Leo come back here. I asked if that was his name and she sees he just looks like a Leo.

Rest in peace Luey bear.

 Our sweet Lue Crazy Shorts passed away unexpectedly on march 10th . He really was the best cat, and it took a few days for our family to process that he's really gone.

 Lue had this 6th sense and knew when Enslie was in need of extra cuddles, and was always right there with her. He was definitely a lap cat and would sit on any lap, but if you touched him while he was sitting on you, he let you know he just wanted to sit and not be touched. He loved boxes,  tight spaces, and treats. Lue duh bear, or Luey bear, is what he was often called. Our house feels a little different without him, and Enslie has had a hard time going thru this without her Luey bear cuddles (Cheeto has stepped in a bit). But we are healing. The kid's teachers and school counselor have been so understanding and helpful and have given them time to heal and process. My family has been great reaching out with texts, food, and visits. We burried him at my moms house behind her garage where all my child hood pets are burried. Lue, continue to watch over our family, especially Enslie. We LOVE AND MISS YOU! 

February random

This boy fell asleep in church and had the best marks on his face.

My Dog man obsessed boy!

Our new no soliciting sign. 

Took this boy on a special mom and dad date to see Dog man he loved it.

Pretty sunrise on the way to work/school one morning.

Look closely there tinin icecicles on the tire!

I love sun sets/rises!

Travis and I got Dave and Busters for date nights a couple times a year. But never really use our tickets we took this kids one day and had over 10,000 tickets so they each got some to spend! Here is thier spoils. 

This is Erilyns Ramen collection.

Now she has a mom amd baby ramen.

And made space on her bed for it.

She wanted to earn some extra money so she organized the pantry from me.

The Cheeto all balled up

Came home one day to this stick the city planted! Hopefully it survives!

Korbyn made this silly snow man. It ended up looking like et but I missed getting a picture of the finished product. It melted pretty fast.

Korbyns Jr. Jazz season came to enjoy end. These boys had so much fun tofather and won every game but the one Korbyn missed.

Enjoying the hammock.

A store that I went to alot with my dad growing up got knocked down and I happened to drive past it. Sad to see it gone. Will probably be apartments soon.

It's been a fairly  mellow winter and we have had a great wether the past few weeks.  The girls pulled out thier roller blades.

Korbyn joined the fun!

We took th to the church parking lot to ride one day. Erilyn and korbyn both fell. And got a few scrapes and bruises.

Enslie fell on her scooter the following day and face planted. She fell at the corner of our street and her friend ran to get us. Her nose was bleeding pretty bad and she had a blood puddle on the cement. I took her home to get cleaned up and Travis cleaned up the blood trail to the house and the puddle at the end of the street. This is the after math, her poor face! Luckily it is healing quickly and she has been so brave thru it all. All 3 kids were bruised up for a few days but are still loving the warmer weather and thier scooters and roller blades.
