when is...

When is the last time you danced in the rain?

Do it you will have so much fun and have your kids join you!!!

Just one of the simple things in life...

When you have time

The things you do when you have kids. Here is Rob replacing a spot light bulb in the dark after the kids went to bed one night. Sometimes you have to do it when you have the time.

"get our grandma blankets"

Look at these great quilts. They are great my mom the non sewer “barrowed” one of my machines several months ago. I thought she was up to something but I could not figure it out. On Easter she gave them to the kids. They are dragged all over and at least of them is always in the living room to wrap up in.
They are great I really can’t believe she did all 3 of them Blue for Aiden Purple and green for Sheriden and Pink for Regan. For any of you they know quilting when you have the time and persistence to do it they are just beautiful this is a good example of that. I think she has found a hobby finally. May be make a few smaller ones. I’m proud of you mom and so would grandma be.

Mud Bath

Playing in the backyard with friends, isn’t that what child hood is all about. The girls were playing spa. One mud mask I will pass on. The boys just making a mess what could be more fun. We had to shower all 4 kids. Now that is a good time. Matt and I did our best to keep Regan clear of the mess.

Ice show 2009

Playing catch up I don’t think I blogged on the kids Ice show. They were great. Two show and I think Aiden was the show stopper with the magic wand. The song they did was do you believe in magic. After they did there song they went back and talked with the MC Christie Casciano (news channel 9 reporter) All the young kids had time to interact with her but they used Aiden to draw it out a little so the bigger girls could get ready. Christie talked to him about his magic powers and he used them on her to make her spin. So cute.

A few candied shots of our day!

Happy and dirty just the way to be.

Sheriden was very excied about seeing the cherry blosames on her tree

Again Dirty and Happy what is with my girls

Aiden and His tractor he has perfected driving and always honks his horn before moving; that is what he is doing here.

Always a good time

Mother Earth

Every year we pick up trash along our Private Drive. I think it is good for the kids and the earth. This year we made only 40 cents on cans and picked up one bag of trash. I say only because there have been past years we have had to go down with a car to pick up the trash bags. This is our earth day project, It was a beautiful day to do it.

Rob with a load

Aiden using the grabbers he found a gold mine of trash under this bush

Sheriden drove Regan in the Jeep.
