Take a Hike, Paynes!

I've been wanting to post these pictures but haven't found the time. The only "free" time I really have is when all the kids are taking naps, and I usually choose to take a nap with them. I find I like my kids better when I'm not so tired. :) So, here's a quick picture post:
Rus with Beau...we went on a hike yesterday. Fun, fun! I've really missed being able to go on hikes, and the weather was beautiful, and the kids did great.Bekah walking quietly so that she wouldn't scare the bears away. She really wanted to see one. Jacob looking for a bear. Notice his hand up there, helping him look.

Me and Jacob, Explorers!
Jacob jumping off a rock. He walked a full mile. Way to go, my typically lazy boy!
Bekah could have walked another mile. She was awesome!
Beau loves his bouncer! He likes to smile and talk to his toys. Oh, and hello, monstrosity of a cast! Only 2 1/2 more weeks to go! Let's try not to get poop on it this time, okay, bud!
Love to see him smile!Umm, this happened somewhere between going to the bathroom and coming to me to help him pull up his pants. Oh, yeah, he's got style! I chose not to post the picture of him scratching his naked bum.


Another smile to end this post on. Like catching a shooting star, finding the last cookie in the cookie jar, or ten bucks hidden in an old pair of jeans. It's a beautiful thing!

Getting poop on the cast stinks. Isaac had a spica cast for 3 weeks, and it was a challenge. We found that putting the correct size diaper underneath a size larger (that fits over the first diaper and the cast) helped with that. I'm glad you only have 2 1/2 weeks to go. I hope it is helping his little foot. He sure is a cute little guy.

Look at those amazing hikers! Seriously, just like their non-stop parents....Oh my goodness, I know I will sleep well tonight because of that beautiful smile! Beau is just gorgeous. What a doll...and PS Keri, there is no way you really had 3 kids...look at your hot bod. Seriously..if I should be that lucky!

Love you
