Stong Genes!

*Graci.....so sweet, but she Broke The Mold*

Why don't I have a more recent picture--Horrible, horrible Aunt

*Stinker Will....Too young for the pic below....but he could fit right in with those looks*

*Workman Cousins circa 2005*
*Will was present, but in my tummy*

Ok...So here are some Workman cousins. This picture was taken a few years ago and it is missing a cousin or two. But it doesn't matter because one particular cousin broke the mold and doesn't look like the rest....so it doesn't matter. (yes, sweet Graci, YOU matter...but not for this post) Will....you look like the rest, but I don't have a group shot including you...Gina and Nanci help a sister-in-law out will ya!

See...What I'm getting at is this....They all look so so so much alike! They could all be mistaken for siblings. A few of them maybe even twins if there wasn't such an age difference. It's downright crazy....eerie....weird!!!

I'm feeling a little nostalgic. Call it living so far away or maybe it's that some of these rugrats are coming to visit in a few weeks. I don't know, but it's made me start to thinking....

Thinking about how strong these Workman genes are!!!! Lord have mercy! Could I have married into a stronger gene pool! I can't get over it. The brothers all look alike, too. Granted...two of the four ARE twins, but my goodness they could seriously be mistaken for quads! It's downright crazy scary.....weird....eerie!

We all can't wait for the Workman 6 to come and visit. They will be here in about a week. We can't wait to show them the ways of the Wild West!

Most of all we all can't wait to see each other and have so good ol' cousin fun!

I can't wait to see who looks more like who this time!

I'm not bitter.....I promise!

All I'm sayin' is that it sure is a good thing that they are all stinkin' cute!!

Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

It has been hot, hot, hot! We even broke a record yesterday. It was 91! We went swimming. The pool is heated so it was ok, but it was windy at when the kids got out they were a little chilly. My raccoon eyes tanline has gotten more pronounced. I've been using sunscreen, but the good ol' sun still gets through! I guess I'm going to have to brave the great outdoors without my sunglasses.....or walk around looking like a raccoon....What do you think?

We have also been busy, busy, busy! This week is reading week at school. The big kids have had lots of fun activities going on. Will and I are helping decorate doors and reading to classes! I think we have something at the school almost everyday this week!

It's crazy times, but I love it!

*I didn't take the camera to the pool yesterday. If I had to carry one more thing someone was going to cry....probably me!!

Rodeo and Zoo Days

John Russel had a field trip to the zoo today, and yesterday Mae had a party for the Rodeo that's going on in town. We all had a blast!

I'm exhausted! (and more sunburned)

The big kids will be out of school the next two days for the rodeo.

It's Crazy times in the Wild Wild West!!

Can You Feel The Burn?

This weekend was filled with a soccer game and a birthday party at the park. Add to that church outside by the lake, and what do you get? Well.....take a look for yourself.

*Can you see it?*

*Check out those Raccoon Eyes!*

That's right....a sunburn! I still can't believe that I actually got such a burn in February! Can you? Today Will and I went to the park and had lunch with friends. It was so hot we both actually broke a sweat! Crazy!!!!

Crazy Hair Day!!

*Will had to get in on the action.*

*Side view of Will--He looks just like his cousin, Libbi!*

*Side view of Mae.*

*Side view of John Russel.*

*We're ready!*

Crazy Hair day is here. Everyone is so excited!

Now...I just hope it washes out!

Crazy Times!

Oh ya'll! I've been so busy. I haven't had time to breath, bathe properly (just kidding), or attend to my usual life. The PTO and my parental duties have made it basically impossible to post a blog. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy I've been busy. The PTO has raised an insane amount of money, in pennies mind you, for our playground. A playground enhancement that is planned by the PTO board (which I'm a part of by the way) These pennies had to be counted, and a classroom awarded for this insane accomplishment. Also, Will (the sweet and Innocent baby of the family) has decided that he wants to become the devil. So.....I've been a little off kilter!

Tomorrow is crazy hair day at school...AND....it's supposed to be in the 80's this weekend....so I promise to post some fun and exciting new pictures for you!

Check back soon.

Mountains

Ok.... I know you can't see it well. Probably not at all. But, there's snow on the mountains! The other day we had a cold front come in. A few areas around town got a few inches that melted almost as fast as it fell. All the mountains got it, though. The good part about getting snow on the mountains is you get to enjoy the beauty of the snow without the actual mess of it. These pictures don't do it justice. The snow covered mountains were absolutely beautiful.

These mountains haven't stopped amazing me. Everyday I think I discover something I haven't seen before. The sun may shine at a different angle, snow may fall, or the moon might rise from behind. Every time it's like seeing them for the first time. My favorite is seeing the same mountain range from a different part of town. It doesn't even have to be far. It could simply be from a friends yard a few streets over. They seem to take on a different meaning for me. A different point of view sometimes shows you something totally different and surprising. Looking at these wonderful mountains that God so gloriously created is truly inspiring.

I'll try and get some better pictures. I don't think that I will ever be able to truly grasp the beauty of these mountains in a picture or with words. So.....the only way for you to experience this wonderful phenomenon is to come out for yourself.

We've got plenty of room!
