Trick My Trike!!

Joe and Jimmie have way too much time on their hands. If you need an unusual project done call "Rogers Northside Garage" located at 28 and State.

Favorite things

I remember Green Stamps and Gold strike stamps from when I was a kid. My Mom saved them in a big coffee can and when it came time to stick them in the book I was right there. I loved that job.She would save them all year and then pour over the catalogue to select Christmas toys. Hey, with 8 kids you do what you gotta do. We would go to the stamp redemption center in Caldwell and retrieve our treasures. Aww the simple life.

Farm Day Acrobatics

Go Kelsey!!!!!!!!!!

Farm Day

The youngins and I went to the Levinski farm to see the new baby lambs. The kids got to get right in the pen to pet them.

Fun Day. Jamie was a little afraid of the mama, but Chance and Olivia plowed right in.

Then came the trampoline. Way too much fun.

Chicken..........................dinner?

Random picture of a Joe boxer quilt I made for my Joe.

Sewing and Sandwiches

I got Olivia a sewing machine for Christmas. Honestly I have never seen an adult sew as straight as she did on her first try. I have a seamstress in the making. She already made a little pillow for her first project. It's going to be great having a sewing buddy.

Gene has been really good on his diet. Lunch.....turkey sandwich....mmmmmmmmmmm

Hell-o...is anybody out there?

This is Jamie. She is seriously trying to master her new easy bake oven. She is always serious about cake. Olivia and Chance also baking, but with not as much fervor as Jamie.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...Cabo in December.

Gene looking to see if he can swim all the way out to the cruise ship.

We are here, alive and well. Kathleen commented that it has been awhile since I blogged. It has only been since July, Geez don't get all testy.

The new facebook, tweeter, ipad,idontknow, has got me in a technical quandry. I don't have enough energy to blog, tweet, im, e-mail, etc. I will however try to post something once in awhile so I don't seem anti social. Gion on a little trip, be home Feb. 8th. I'll fill you in then.

Summer Fun

This is pretty much what most of our summer has looked like. Water, water, and more water. we planted a garden which has flourishes along with the weeds. We made the rounds of the neighborhood giving away our goods. The kids thought that was pretty cool. I bet I looked great pulling a wagon loaded with 3 kids and piled high with cabbage. All of the little ones have honed their swimming skills. Jamie has excede them all with her diving. Chance will jump to anyone willing to catch him. Sometimes he jumps before we're ready.

The life jackets make me feel safer when they are all in there together.

Isn't she just the cutest doll?

The 3 muskateers. They are practically inseperable. They love each other and fight like cats and dogs. GO FIGURE!

The biggest kid of all.
