Batman Finally Goes To Sleep

Keagan loves to dress up as batman-it is his favorite costume. He is very good at playing in his room for hours before he finally crashes. I couldn't resist taking this picture. When I showed it to him in the morning he just laughed at himself.

Jayda's Bed Time

Jayda used to be so good to go to bed, then one day it became a fight!! I wonder why that has to happen? On this particular night we were trying to watch a movie and knew that she wasn't in her bed but she was just playing in her room quietly so we thought we would just leave her. Eventually she would just fall asleep on her own, right?!? She learns from the best (batman)!! So when the movie was over this is what we found.............

At least she had fallen asleep, right?!? We could deal with the mess tomorrow!

A Boys Great Idea!

One day Keagan had a great idea, he should put snow into a box, tape it up really good and mail it to Africa! They don't have snow there and may like to see what it looks like. So he wanted his picture taken and put in the box so the little kids who get it will know what he looks like. The mind of a child is so interesting!! I hope he never loses his sense of wonder!

Frank

This is Frank, Ben's new dog. I was really not happy when he told me he needed another dog! He already has 2 and I have 1. So really we didn't need another one! But he is pretty darn cute and is pretty well behaved for a puppy. Although he thinks that the deck is his bathroom! Luckily Ben gets to deal with that!!

Frank had to sleep out in the kennel at night because I would get really cranky when he would wake me up in the night and Ben got tired of cleaning up his messes. One morning Ben looked out the window and thought the dog house looked funny, he looked closer and then thought that someone had stolen the dog house and left the crying puppy behind, "Who would steal a dog house???" He was so mad! I looked and said "Oh My God! the dog house burnt down!!!" So in the middle of the night the house started on fire and burnt! Luckily Frank was okay-his butt was burnt pretty badly but it is healing quite nicely now! So lesson to be learnt-dog houses + heat lamps + straw = FIRE!!!

Jayda Lynn

So this is our sweet little Jayda!

I had to get a nice picture of her for my Grandparents 60th anniversary, and she is very difficult to get a good picture of! So after about 30 or so (thank god for digital cameras!!!) I finally got it!!

Pumpkin Harvest

These were taken in our garden, Keagan loved going to the garden and picking the vegetables, especially the carrots. It was lucky we had a quarter section of carrots right in our back yard because he had picked all our carrots before they were ready. Any time someone was over for a visit they would have to go to the garden with him. He also was excited when the pumpkins starting to grow and was even more anxious to pick them! So as you can see he had a great day picking and putting them in his tractor wagon to drive them back to the house so he could start to carve them! But Jayda was a whole other story........I thought this picture says it all! We can't wait for next years garden, I want to try giant pumpkins! Wait until Keagan sees those. I know Ben will be so excited when it is time to haul those to the house!

Auntie Trisha

So I was just trying to figure out this new computer, it seems like the files are so difficult to find!! I'm not totally computer smart, I am having a heck of a time with finding and saving files.....

Anyways I just wanted to post a picture and this just happens to be one of my many favorites! This is my older sister Trisha and Jayda in May. We went to Tilleybrook campground to celebrate Trisha's birthday. The kids had a great time and were pretty excited to have a fire and make s'mores. It is always an adventure with the four kids!

Yay for me!!

So hopefully I have figured this out correctly (all by myself, I might add!!) I'm not sure if I will be as good as my sister, Trisha, at keeping the information up to date, but I will try. Trisha has created a blog for her family and I LOVE to check it out-almost daily. I see them a lot and talk to her even more on the phone but I just love what she has to say and of course I love the pictures she posts! I hope that you will check my blog out to keep up dated on my family and life! I'm not always the best at making phone calls to everyone so this will have to do! We also broke down and bought a lap top after Christmas so now we have internet at our house!! Can you believe that we didn't have it until now?? How did I survive?????
