Life at the Keever House

I have been thinking about implementing a "chore chart" at our house for a while. It hadn't taken root until I learned about an app for my iPad that creates a chore chart for you and helps you track how many "stars" your kids have earned. It allows you to assign a number of stars to each chore and then create rewards based on stars earned.

We started our chores today. Wyatt and Reagan earned 15 stars today by brushing their teeth, making their beds, feeding Buck (our dog), cleaning various things and straightening up the playroom. They were so enthusiastic about helping out...lets hope that attitude continues. :)

Could her eyelashes be any more gorgeous? I can't wait until she's old enough for mascara! Although, if her eyes stay like this she won't need it!

Important lessons we have learned from Wyatt thus far:

1. Bad guys don't drink lemonade.

2. "Puke" is the Spanish translation of "barf".

Here are a few random pictures that have been hiding on my phone for the last month or so...it's time to let them out!

Two days after Christmas, all of our guests were gone and we were headed to Ohio for a visit over the New Year. It was COLD, and it snowed a lot.  Fun for the kids but not so much for Mama (aka southern girl who prefers a balmy 80 degrees). It was wonderful to see everyone and it was the first time in a long time that all four of the brothers were able to be home at once. The kids had a blast playing with their five cousins too.  Here are some highlights...
