McGraw farm

Riley is good with animals.


This is Dave, we love him. He can be goofy but he has a kind heart.

Cody took the boys over to our neighbors home to see their new baby goats. Spring brings new life. They were born just yesterday, or that morning before my boys got to them. They say this is the best time to hold them, because in two weeks they will be to fast to catch.

Valentine's Day

Big families, Have a big get together. We all celebrated Valentine's together.



My parents have a small home, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the good food and time together.




even the cousin's enjoyed being with each other.




Blaze got to ride a horse too. He really enjoyed that.





Balze and Tava exchanging flowers. They are only 2 months apart. They love to play with each other. They are so cute at this age.

Rainy days

So it rained yesterday. At our home on Tuesdays we don't watch t.v or play video games. So the boys decided to play in the rain. It was a good thing it wasn't cold.



At first Blaze was unsure of the rain, until he saw his brothers playing in it. Then he didn't want to come in for dinner.



Riley helping his brother have fun. Riley is so good to his brother. Sometimes to much, but he loves him.

After 7 years we've had to give up our dog, Bailey. Lately she has been nipping the girls I watch. I can't take the chance that she will bite. I have mixed emotions. Sad that my gaurd dog is leaving, happy that she won't bark everytime the doorbell rings. Oh and I won't have dog hair everywhere.

My boys, well the don't have a strong bond to animals, so they really don't care. Cody feels really bad. But I only can hope that she will be placed with a home that will take better care of her. We are not the perfect animal family.

So no furture animals here. We will stick with the one cat. Maybe a fish or two. We don't want to have to go through this again, and plus I have the brunt of taking care of anything that enters this home.

I change my blog layout all the time. Trying to get the perfect one. I hope you enjoy our new family picture. It was taken by the cheesecake factory. My weeks have been really busy. Blaze is becoming a handful and getting into everything, on top of that he gets the girls I watch involved, yikes. What am I doing. I loose alot of patience at the end of the day. But I love my kids, what am I to do?

14 years ago

It has been 14 years since we said yeas at the temple. I couldn't be more blessed. Cody has brought me so much happiness.
