Kate's Birthday and Inner Space Caverns

Kate had her 4th birthday party today, and of COURSE it was a princess party! What else!? 

Melissa trying to feel the pea under the matress...the tell of a true princess.

All the girls listening to the princess and the pea.

Pretty princess blowing out candles...I made the castle cake. :)

LOVE this girl!!

Princess Kate awaiting her arrivals.

We went to inner-space caverns last weekend...so fun! :) 

Here's our little cave explorers getting ready.

JR checking out the cave.

Inside one room.

Silly kids and silly Daddy!

Monkey see, monkey do!

4th of July and other stuff.

This is Kate and Daddy working on his signs for our Texas Tea Party...I can't get the pics of the teaparty to post. Boo.

Ready for the parade!!!

Of course, JR's favorite part! :)

Yay for America!

Flag sandwiches for lunch! :)

The kids were sick a total of 10 days combined with Hand Foot and Mouth--YUK...this was the tent we made to keep ourselves busy!

And yes, I totally let them watch tv while laying in it! :)

This was JR reading to his lawnmower that he covered up with blankets beacuse it was "sick"(after watching Jeff work in his lawnmower the day before). Haha!

Tyler Zoo and Other FUn

This is a slide show, so push play grandparents! :) If you click the little bubble thing on the bottom left, it should show my captions.

Haircuts and fun---SLIDESHOW-PUSH PLAY!

This is a slideshow, so push play and you'll see about 20+pictures. The "haircut" ones are from yesterday. Kate cut her own hair on Wed. night and needed to get it fixed, so JR got a much needed cut too! :)

Easter and Such

This is just a cute one of Grandpa and the kiddos during a recent visit.

This is Easter morning.

Ok, you have to turn your head sideways to watch this video, but it's hide-n-seek Cheshier kid style. :) Silly kids. They did this the WHOLE time I got ready that morning!!!

Thanks for the headache Ashley!!!!

These instruments were a gift from our friend Ashley...we think she doesn't like us. :)

Apparently Kate is going to be in the marching band!!! :) 

TRACTORS!!!!!!!

We went to the Austin rodeo with our dear friends a couple of weeks ago and the kids had a blast. The best parts were the pony rides, PIG RACES!!!, and of course the tractors. I thought JR was going to jump out of his skin with excitement of the tractors, so cute!! :) 

Big man!!!!

JR's 1st pony ride.

This was taken a few weeks ago when I THOUGHT I had been sneaky enough to get JR's bears that he sleeps with into the washing machine without him noticing. He found them.:( Sad day for him!
