Fall 2008-What we've been up to?

the infamous "crack"

going down the slide

climbing the climby thing!

Me & Millies....seriously CUTE!

Even though she is getting so grown up I still have to remind her from time to time to un-tuck her clothing from her chonies after she uses the restroom!

mad because it wasn't her turn yet to bowl....she just had a turn!

Baby Tyce (Kim & Jason's offspring)

baby Millie-Jayde (Carly & Sean's offspring)

Nat & Daddy taking a walk

Me & the Diva before dance

first position ladies!

doing butterfly stretches.....if you can't tell...Natalie is blabbing away!

Practicing her steps before class

Look at all these pretty ballerina's!

Bowling!

Uh, so far so good. Having fun, this isn't going to be gross at all.

ahhh, that's yucky on my hands!

And...now we are full blown just NOT enjoying it at all and actually starting to cry! LOVELY

I was watching "bridezilla's" so Natalie decided to get in her wedding gown & Vail and do her own rendition of the show. Then she proceeded to get out her cell phone and yell at "Kristi" because she wasn't satisfied w/ her efforts in being the made-of-honor...(Kristi was the brides sister on the show whom was being yelled at profusely by the BRIDE!) I decided to turn the TV off at that point! Too funny!

Wedding photo: The bride, The bride's mother & "Johny", the brides groom! (the baby was Johnny).

Well, as we all know, this weekend was ELK hunting weekend for most. Trav went to Elk camp w/ Davie & Lucky........no so lucky as of yet...we'll see when he gets home tonight. In the mean time, we had dance class, which Natalie is thoroughly enjoying! We also carved out pumpkin & did lots of cleaning & organizing in our tiny little house! (Natalie is unaware that I cleaned her toy box out & shipped two bags full of toys to the Goodwill during nap time.) She did ask why her toys fit in the box....i just said i organized them well! Few......good thing she was asleep.....she remembered two months after I hauled toys off the last time & told my mother how mean I was for giving them away! Sheesh. Anyway here are some pictures of the times. Take Care & Happy Halloween!

Face-planting Pianist

So the wood stove became a good source of entertainment as we all gathered to watch the musician hard at work.....then suddenly her passion for the music turned to rage......which led to one mighty face plant!

All skinned up

Okay, this was not as dramatic as it turned out to be. Natalie was jumping up and down and fell on to the carpet, skinning one of her knees. THEN....Isabel RAN to her rescue w/ the hugest first aid kit ever seen by man kind. Well, she had one band aid originally.....but the wound kept bleeding. Thus causing need for the ginormous first aid kit once more. This time they did it right, with a piece of gauze, one large band aid & 4 small band aid's to go around the large band aid. AND THEN......there was a definite need for a limp & to be carried to the nearest chair to rest. Sheesh.................

Mud pies for sale....maybe...kind of...not really

Road Trip to Twin Lakes

waitin for some grub as well

Stevens' girls....i SERIOSLY love the one in the middle.....sorta the one on the other end

mmmmm

waiting patiently for her meal that came 1 hour after we ordered it in some town near Grand Coulee Dam....still don't know what town we were in.

poor natalie skinned her knee & needed & bandaid's and some gauze

grandma preparing her salad

the 1st & only fish of the weekend was caught by myself by way of hand realing it in to shore because the barbie pole didn't quite have the strength for the fish that was too small we had to throw it back anyway.
