Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-cake, Baker's Man...

We have a baker in the making! Ryan is always looking for an oppurtunity to get his hands messy and help in the kitchen. On this particular Saturday morning Ryan was helping Jeremy make biscuits for breakfast. He loved rolling the dough and using the cup to cut out the circles for the biscuits. He thought he would like the taste of the dough but that proved to taste VERY different from cookie dough :-)

Family Fun in Rusk

The yearly round-up for the Burch-Cotten clan brought lots of time outdoors on a beautiful weekend. The kids were so excited to have this time to play with their cousins. My parents have a great place for us all to get together and explore the woods. Climbing trees, riding the tractor, shooting BB guns, and running in the fields led to some very worn out kids! We are so thankful that we have a family that takes the time to get together during our busy lives.

Pirates, Firemen or Buddies

These 2 cuties are great buddies and enjoy playing together a couple of days a week. "C" is a little girl that I keep 2 days a week and most people think she's mine. After all - she does have brown hair and brown eyes like me! They also think that she and Ryan twins!

I'm ready to go!

This was Ryan's idea of getting himself in to his carseat...a very interesting way to ride in the car!
