Friday, June 5, 2009 - Awesome!!

Two days ago Joe and Katie  got engaged! We are all very excited for them.

Now for a real update:

We are doing another garden this year, and have most of it planted. This gardeen is bigger then the one we had a couple years ago.

Joe is now working for Horizon Air at the airport, (he is wearing his uniform in the above picture ^) he likes his job, so that's good

We got our computer room moved into the downstairs guest room instead of the dining room upstairs! Dad built desks all along the walls, and in the dining room he built a big table for our whole family to fit around.

We sold last years batch of baby guineas, so we only have four now, but the girls have been sitting on eggs untill now, because we have a bull snake around our place trying to eat the eggs. At Tess's tenth birthday party me and  a friend saw the bull snake eating a egg, so we called the boys to scare it off. All the boys came and Joe took pictures, and Ben and Hank M caught the snake, then everyone got to pet it. We let it go up the driveway, and I haven't seen it ever since. And that was last saturday. ( BTW When Joe was taking pictures of the snake, it barfed out the egg.)

So, I think I am all caught up now. ;-) Hope to post soon!

Sunday, March 29, 2009 - Hi!

This is going to be short and sweet... I've been really, really busy. (Pretty bad excuse, huh?) But, a couple things that are of much interest, Joe is going to have a Graduation ceremony/party on April 11th, and, Joe got a job at Horizon airlines! He is going to Seattle on the 5th of April, the next day he will go to Oregon for training, I think for four days, then come home in time for his Graduation.
Oh, and on the 4th of April us girls and some other girls are hosting a Spring Luncheon, (We're not doing a tea party because one lady's tea cup broke) so that will be fun.
Signing off!

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - another entry

First, Eric bought him a Scout International from a friend, so I have some pictures for you of it.
this is the side (no, really!) I think it is pretty 'sweet' myself
if you look really close you can se the "international" on the back.
that better?
This is the front with the "not so good side," I think Eric wants to re-paint it blue.
Now this is it with the top off and the windshield down.

We all know that Valentines day is creeping in on us, so I have a great valentine you can give to someone who likes tea! Go HERE to see it. (I got it off another persons blog)
Well, I'll be leaving you with that!

Thursday, January 29, 2009 - No Title Because I Can't Think of One

This month we have been having a "No Sugar Fast" because we had so many sweets in December, so last night Dad brought home soe Ice-cream, and Double-chocolate muffins, (they were Huge!) so that broke our Sugar fast. The funny thing was, I was only able to ea half my ice-cream, and not even touch my muffin because I was so sweeted out! (Why I was sweeted out is because I wasn't used to having sugar)

A few weeks ago we moved our computer room! It was in the Dining Room, so Dad and Mom decided they wanted to eat in the Dining room instead of the kitchen, so we moved the computers to the downstairs Guest Room, (Don't worry, the bed has been long ago taken out) and we got the walls painted in the Dining Room, then Dad is going to make a table for there. Oh, by the way, we re-painted the walls in the Dining room to White, but we are going to stencil grape vines in the door ways, it is going to be so pretty!

On Saturday we are going to go to the B's house for Pizza dinner again! They make their pizza with sour dough, so it is the best!
Well, I think that is all I have to say for now. Later Ya'll!

I haven't posted for so long because there is really not much to say!
Dad had been got at work since the day after CHRISTmas (even on saturdays and sundays) so, finally last night he came home!!!!! Then, we are going to move our computer room into the downstairs guest room, so that where I am at right now can be a dining room (like it was intended to be.) so Dad is going to make desks for all around the walls of the downstairs going to be computer room.
Oh, this month we are going on a sugar fast, we can't have sugar until february because in december we had so much sweets.
Today we are going to have roast and mashed potatoes and gravy and rolls for dinner! (btw, the roast is deer) And, speaking of deer, the other day there was a deer in our back yard, and no matter how much noise we made, it would not mind it, or it was deaf... Finally it mosied away.
Sorry I don't have any pictures this time!

Friday, December 5, 2008 - A Real Catch-up!

Ok, so I left off with Mom and Joe being in Oregon for forever... Grandpa passed from death to life on the 17 of last month, Dad, Anne, Ben and Elle went for the Memorial service. Elle was soooo happy to see Mom, she would freak out if Mom went a little bit away from her.
So on Saturday night (at 2:30 am) They all came home!!!!!
That Sunday we celebrated Eric's 17th birthday (his birthday had been the day before) and unpacked our van from all the stuff that Gramma gave us.

Last saturday we celebrated Thanks giving (due to on thursday Dad was at work) and now, tomorrow is Beth's 15th birthday party!
As you can see, we have been very busy!
