Thanks Giving 2009

      All the fun of Thanks Giving day.  Food, football, photo's and making something with Grandpa(this year wood airplanes)  

Air Show

We invade Uncle Charles in Las Vegas and attended the Air Show at Nellis.  What a fun thing to do.  The boys loved getting into the airplanes.  Oh, and my favorite, the feel and noise of the planes as they zoomed passed.

Earning Money-Cheap Laundry Service

My kids don't get an allowance. They get paid by the job. And it just so happens that folding laundry is the one that pays the most money. But loading laundry is way to easy NOT to do. This is a great thing for both boys and mom. They earn money for the all coveted toy and mom gets her laundry done. Its a win win. -No pink clothes yet.-

Folding Laundry $1.00 a load.

Loading and Switching $ .50

Porters Birthday

As Porter would say "This is the Best Part"

Cathing Up

It has been a while since I updated this blog. Here are a few things that we have done over the last few months.

Porter Playing Soccer for his first time.

Boys bird watching.

Ben teaching Kade to gut a fish. Yuck!

We bought a boat! It is so fun. The kids take it out on the little ponds and just row till there arms hurt. They make for great trolling motors while Ben fishes.

Redy, Set, Build!

        Ready, set, BUILD!   After the 5th Lego Party what are you to do.  We had a building competition.  You had to build a specified ittem as fast as you could.(it was the same item for everyone) Once you completed it you received a prize.  What Fun.  LOVE THE LEGOS. Kade B-day 2009



Initiation

Every once in while we must initiate the newcomers to the family, only if there are of age. The kids thought that this pretty fun. The mystery behind it all, is the getter. Some laughed and some cried but ALL were accepted as part of the family.

Measuring for the coufin is the scariest.

Then you get to go to Heaven on the Ironing Board.

Mason Got Baptized in February. All of his loved ones were around.
