Just a little Family .....

I wanted to take pictures of all my kids today ... ha ha ....  

Cal was NOT amused ..... 

Kaedyn was playing a game ....

 
Me with the family - all the kids ...including DB ...

Nathan and his blue bin.....

Noah.... "Why are you taking pictures of me?" ...

My ANSWER ....  "Because I love you!"  LOL

Kids playing today ....

When you read a book .......

Isn't it funny how you read a book from the area you are at ... and ....  you pass those places they are talking about???  

Like ...... okay, I'm reading the Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber ....

She is a local author - super cool.  She lives in Port Orchard, which is our neighbor city.  Bremerton is mentioned in her books all the time.  Cedar Cove is based on Port Orchard ... like, literally, they are pretty much the same city .... names and maybe a bit of the map has changed, but - Cedar Cove = Port Orchard.

So ...... we went to an appointment for Nathan today - and I'm reading the book .... (this is book 9, there are 12 books in the series) ...

And we pass Port Orchard .... it's a weird feeling - ya know.  To read about the area you live in .....

And then........ the REALLY weird part .......

"He turned down the radio as he crossed the Narrows Bridge in Tacoma on the drive to Seattle." .....

I look up, literally, from reading that ........ yep there is the Narrows Bridge ......

Only we were going to Tacoma that day, not to Seattle .......  LOL....  

Like A Boss!

DO NOT tell my husband that he CANNOT get the car into a tiny little parking spot, because something inside him will snap and he'll have to PROVE TO YOU THAT HE CAN .... and then pose... and say ...

LIKE A BOSS .....

Yep, I took pictures...  he is always proud of himself when he proves me wrong!

Hummmm.....

So ....... what is one supposed to think when their child sits in a bucket ........

................... I mean other than "grab your camera and take pictures" .....

Mr Max ....

Art & Sillies

The other day I thought it would be fun to do some current hand print art.   So Noah, Nathan and Kaedyn all made some HAPPY SPRING art.   We also posted this over in our homeschooling blog.

After the handprint art, the Littles wanted to paint paint.... so they each painted a picture!

Of course our lovely art needed to be displayed .....

 Our top part is pictures :)

Noah had a cooking class .... now, how can you learn with your arms folded up all tense like that?  Eventually he relaxed and was okay.

This is our new friend Oliver Twist ...... he has adopted us.  He is the best cat, for sure.  We are happy to have him.

Here is Kaedyn completely upset ...... he was really pissed I was taking pictures of him totally upset....

To balance out the crying ....... here is the smiling and laughing.... LOL.... and yawning....

Kaedyn loves Ollie

Nathan is in this blue bin a lot.  This is what I have stored stuffed animals in for YEARS but Nathan uses it to hide.  He will put his blanket on top of it ....

Me.......... yep, me.... a tired me....

This is the BEST series of pictures yet.  Nathan was blowing milk bubbles and .... usually I don't let him do this, but instead ... I pulled out the camera and we laughed and laughed....

Hey Siri ....

As a parent......  this song has become.......... well known in our house....

But those of you who have Siri (iPhones) ... have you asked her "What Does A Fox Say?" recently?   You should try it - it's funny ....

We got a laugh out of it.

Let there be FISH!

Since losing Emrys Nathan has expressed a huge want for fish again.

So we finally got the tank cleaned up and set up ....

And what a cloud it was.....

24 hours later ... it was a lot better ....

And then we added FISH .....

However, I thought Pebbles might be in trouble the day we got them .... she got attached to the suction tube.  I had to get it off.  And then she lasted about two days before falling into fishy darkness to whatever was going on.

So ...... Bubble's replacement is Goldie...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today was a good day - we just hung out as a family, along with Alana (who will be family soon enough!) ...

It's not all about love though - Nathan has his priorities ....

We went out to get DB's new glasses, and stopped at the store to get food ....  and on the way out, I took pictures of the Tulips.  I loooooooooooooooove Tulips.  Tulips, Lilac, Lilies (Water, Calla) and Hydrangea are all my favorite.  I may not have gotten flowers, but they sure were pretty :)

We made Chicken Nuggets and Fries for lunch .....

We got all types of treats, Cheese Danishes ....

 Sweet Rolls....

Chocolates .....

and Cupcakes ....

One the box to the chocolates, were these little Valentines....

We had Pot Roast for dinner ....

And here we all are.....
