Tegan Enjoying His Harmonica

Here is Tegan playing his harmonica. I will next time make sure he doesn't see me taping him. That way you can see how neat it is to hear him make up a long song. This one is not to bad even if I am his mom. :) Tegan and I have enjoyed watching this over and over.

The Sign Of Fall

After our Jamaican dinner (last post) we went outside to make smores. Maggie was over too.
It dosn't matter if we are in the city or the country we always have a camp fire in the fall. The weather was perfect for our small camp fire.

Here is our dog, Worm. He helped himself to a marshmellow on a stick too. One of the kids had set it down on the chair. The next thing we know Worm has eaten it.

I had to put this picture in too. Here is my Harmonica play'n boy. He was playing the harmonica so well last night, that I am kicking myself for not video taping him. It really sounded good. He was playing it right before bed, he was sitting in the dark playing to himself. It was really neat!

Ronn's Back

Thank you for all your prayers while Ronn has been away. He is home safe and sound. He brought us lots of neat Jamaican items to look at and taste. Last night he prepared us a Jamaican meal with the spices he brought home. It was very good!

He was able to meet with the staff in Jamaica and get to know them better. They sound like the neatest people! If you are thinking about a missions trip, nows the time to go! You won't want to miss this neat group of people.

A Great Sept. Day

The weather has been great! We are really enjoying our Sept. weather.Look what we found!!!:)

We watched him swim in the pool.

This is what the frog looked at!!

Molly enjoying the outside too.

He looks like a science guy.:)


My tired boy.

We had a lot of fun outside, but we where all very tired!

Have a blessed day!

The Kids Teachers

As we were getting ready for school this morning I had the kids pick out there chips for there lunch box. Tegan had to have a lunch box too. I had to get a picture of them. Tegan did not like his head being touched by big brother, he is to big for that. :)

Tristans teacher this year is Mrs Burris. Tristan really likes his teacher. He really likes taking presents to her.
Tiffanys teacher is Mrs Kritsch. She really likes her teacher too. Tiffany is anxious to learn, the other day she was saying how something is not quite right in there class. I asked what she was talking about?" We are not learning the letter sounds yet." I had to chuckle, I said this is only the third day of school. You will learn your letter sounds soon.:)

The funny thing is if I want to go over those things with her I get the sigh and the do we have to? Thank God for teachers!

Today

The kids really like school! Yeah! They love there teachers. I am hoping to get a picture up of them with there teacher only it is very hard! It is almost impossible to get a picture of there teacher. You would think that would be easy. I have found that it is actually difficult. So pictures to come. (Hopefully)
Last night Tegan decided to get up at 1:00am. I could not read into what he was wanting, it ended up being that he was hungry. We finally got to bed around 3:00 something. I took a nap with him today. I set the alarm to wake up so I would not miss picking up the kids. Which it turned out to be 30min nap. The bad thing is I slept through the alarm for awhile. I did make it in time to pick up the kids. I was just not early. I also have really bad allergies or a head cold. So that was fun waking up and trying to drive. :)
Congrats to the Black family on the arrival of there new son! Best Wishes!

Good Night!

Labor Day 2008

This weekend we stayed home. The kids camped inside. My kind of camping! They had their tents up and Ronn slept on the sofa. I slept in my comfortable bed.:) I think this is the first time Ronn and I did nothing all day long. It has been a long time since we have just sat outside and watched the kids. We are usually cleaning and fixing things. It was really nice.
Ronn bought a couple of things so we would have fun this weekend. He bought three pools for the kids, water guns and water toys. He also bought items for the grill. He made it a lot of fun for us. Here is Tegan enjoying one of his water toys.


Look at that cute frog pool. Here the kids are getting ready for the Olympics. Go USA!!! There is our cheerleader.

Here is the lap pool. Tristan made sure we all cheered for team USA. Team USA always came in first and China kept coming in second.

Don't you think he looks like a swimmer? He really enjoyed watching the Olympics, it has made a lasting impression on him.

Tiffany is all girl! What else can I say? She is a born to be a cheerleader. I don't know where she gets it?

The kids have been signing autographs since winning the Olympics. I love them! They sign there names and then put stickers on them. They think this is an added bonus for the kids who will want them.:)

What did you do for Labor Day?
