Family Pictures

Proof of what can happen with a camera, tripod, and an urge for a photo shoot

This was a last minute idea right before church on Sat. night

Mike got the boys dressed in their new shirts and instantly I was swept away with emotion from how much my boys are growing older right before my very eyes.

I have learned that if there is a particular outfit i want them to wear in pictures, not to let them wear it at all beforehand. Boys attract Dirt.

Christmas Card

I am so excited about our Christmas Card this year

I found this etsy site. The seller will design the card for you at a cheap price. All I needed to do was email her the picture and she emailed me the card. Then it is up to me to print it out on my own. I will take a trip to costco for that. Isn't this so perfect for my Wild Boyz?

Fire Train

From the mind of Caeden and the pen of Mommy

This is OUR poem

Fire Train

When I Dream

I see a

FIre Train that is Red and Fast

Zooming down its track in a blast

Hoses for water

Ladder for height

Travels in daytime and at night

Fire up ahead, Danger in sight

Racing to it with all its might

Water released

Fire is gone

Time to rescue the wild ones

All aboard through the trees

Koalas, Rhinos, and Wallabies

Hurry wild ones

With a shout

Let us bring you safely out

Mom's and Dads anticipate

That Fire Train will not be late

Hugging Now

Home at last

Job well done from what has past

A lesson to learn is here indeed

From Fire Train, a safety plead

Fire is dangerous

Not for play

Learn the signs and Stay Away

we wrote this one day after being inspired by several library books. C was adamant in how he wanted the story told and several times after I would read to him what I wrote down, he would tell me, "that's not what I said." So this is really his poem, he just can't read or write yet :)

we also tried to illustrate the story, but that was hard to scan and since I don't have any artistic talent, it is better to stay off the web for all to mock.
