Boys

Look closely at the high tech engineering going on here. Quinton decided that he wanted chicken coop instead of a play house. So he put the house on skids and lifted it on to his wagon. He took pictures and put it on craigslist. We have not had any takers yet but he is also willing to barter for wood and chicken wire. The house is on the wagon and ready to be delivered anywhere around the neighborhood or to your truck and hauled off. What have we created?

Adam was in on this too, they are great buddies! 

Our First go at Ice Skating

Daddy had to take the lead, being an old pro at it. 

Quinton caught on right away and was off a skating like he had been tens times before.

Henry needed a little help with the walkers, they did not have them in my size.

LuLu had trusty old Dad at her side. 

It was a lot of fun and we were all very tiered with a few bruises, but what is family fun all about, right!

Ronald Reagan

Quinton had his first research and presentation project at school. They have been learning about the presidents in school. Each student had to pick a president to research him then present it to the class. This is what he put together after working very hard! He is so smart and I am so proud of him.
He worked at finding all the dates and events in Presidents Reagan's life. He also drew a picture of the American flag and found lots of fun pictures to add. He really liked that Reagan was a cowboy and even acted cowboy roll in the movies.

So Sweet

Sometime they can be soooo Sweet, vegging in front of the TV before bed. I do not think that Lu even knew that I took a picture of her.

I know that Henry didn't!

Our Little Baby

To stay afloat during these hard times of the economic down turn Jason and I had to make the decision to sell our little baby. This is a 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider, with convertible top and wooden steering wheel.
It has been a car that both Jason and I have enjoyed very much since before we had kids. We drove it through Oregon and trips to McCall. With the top rolled down a cigarette in your hand, the one you love the most sitting next to you and the open road in front of you. If you have never owned a convertible you should put it on your things to do before you die list.

I am sad to see it go, maybe some day we will meet again.

The Beautiful Girls

The Girls Jeada - Pink Ronie - Blue

We were able to go see the babies last week and we snaped a few pictures. They have gotten SOOO big. They will be 8 months on the 1stand are over 14lbs. They have the biggest cheeks and the biggest smiles. They are so happy with there family, it warms my heart to be a part of Gods work.

The Christmas Train

We took a ride on the Christmas train a few days after Christmas. It takes you to a town called Banks that is just on the tree line into the forest. It snowed the whole time and was beautiful. God's creation is amazing and he gives it to us, the sinners we are to enjoy. 

We took along a few family members and I think that the adults enjoyed it more then the kids. 
Me and my baby boy!
This is the picture perfect family don't you think?
This is my nephew Adam and Quinton who could not wait to get on that train, little boys and trains, they love them more then anything in the whole world.
