little bits of luallen life

I just uploaded pictures off my camera and I have a lot that need sharing!! However, since it is getting so late tonight, I will start with a short post and a picture of my handsome boy! He is ready to go feed the horses and the dogs! He loves his animals! He brings joy to my life!!

Yes, we let our children play outside in their pajamas. Not often mind you, but sometimes. About a week ago we were having beautiful weather and Jeremy was doing some woodworking outside shortly after all the older boys and Madison were in school. I sat on our glider and soaked in the warmth while Emma and Joshua enjoyed playing outside at 8:30 in the morning in their pj's. They had a blast!

All of our kids love helping Daddy whenever he is building anything. Lately we have been re-doing our bedroom. This means that Jeremy has done a few things that require safety glasses. The kids love wearing those glasses even though it means they can't help b/c of the danger to the task! Check out these cuties!
This is a picture of Madison when she was about Joshua's age with safety glasses on as well. The fun lives on through all the kids...

A couple weeks ago on our week off Jeremy and the kids were having fun playing Kung Fu. Our kids love the movie Kung Fu Panda and would watch it all the time if we let them! All three of them love the music video in the special features section of the movie with the song "Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting". They will play that music video over and over again dancing to it. (I should take pictures!) On this afternoon Joshua began using his bat as a sword and started Kung Fu-ing Daddy! So then Jeremy got the other bat and they had a 'sword fight'! It was awesome! (They even found 'hats' to wear!)

Madison joined in after a while. She wanted her shot at Daddy!
