Sledding 2010

Zach is the cutest sledder ever! Chloe girl :)

Joel, after he lost his gloves and took mine.

Loving the first sled of the season together! John, running over Luke.

Luke, taking the slope.

Looks like she hit Luke.

Joel, complaining that he wanted to go inside. Of course he forgot his coat, lost his gloves and at one point took his boots off! I'd want to go inside too!

John and Luke attempted to snowboard down the hill on thier sleds. They were actually pretty good at it! John, being an old man, whiped out and hurt his knee. I never even could get up on one!

Luke attempting to snowboard down.

Chloe ugs. She tried to first go outside in her ughs and her leggings! John and I refused to let her out like that and told her to put her snow pants and coat on. Her reply was, but mom, the clothes I have on look like Gap!.....oh man, what are we in for!

A day in the life of Zach

Zach, as cute as can be, is the most destructive child we have. He can make 5 messes and break 3 things in a matter of 5 minutes! What is posted below, is not unusual, in fact, it's not the worst day he has had, it just happened to be a day where I figured I'd take a picture of every mess he made and everything he broke. Luckily this phase is starting to get better, and lucky for him that he is so cute!
That is a beard of sugar....got into the sugar bin. Through my decorative balls and other things in the sugar bin.

Broke a bowl. Poked holes in the bananas with a pen.

Tried to light a candle with the pizzioelectric lighter.

That was just the morning!

Picture I just like :)

My sweet baby boo Eva Zach LOVES to kiss her.

The first sibling Eva diaper change! Yes, I knew these kids would come in handy!

Study budies

Winterization of the patio set became a fort for the boys.

At the Farm

Visited Nana and Papa after picking apples.
Joel and Luke riding the big farm horse! Peek-a-boo

Ahhh, I'm in jail!

Nana

Luke

Seein' the boys.

Trying to make it look like they're sitting in my hand.

It's a bird, it's a plane....I really have no idea what they're pointing at.

Luke, Zach and Papa

apple picking 2010

What can you do with free apples......lots of things. So far, applesauce, apple jam, apple crisp, apple pie, apple bread, apple butter.....oh so many good things! We gleaned this apples after apple harvest :)

Joel, of course he couldn't give us a normal face!

Zach would choke if he ate the apple skin, so he would sneak apples and eat them. Then when we would see him with one, he'ld throw it down and run away.

Chloe girl and her windy day pose :)

When the boys got tired of picking, they played in the dirt....
As you can see below....no boy can resist playing in the dirt!

Trip to Spokane

Zach whiped out after shots.

Our history lesson on our Spokane trip....Nine Mile Dam.

Here is a hospital pic of Eva. Finally got it scanned. Unfortunatly, I don't know how to get it bigger than a forth of a page, so it will be a tiny part of this huge space :)

Pics of the week

Eva's first smile pic. Chloe lost her 3rd tooth!

End of the harvest...or so I thought. I picked a large bag of green tomatoes, (that I'm going to attempt to ripen inside), today :)

Chloe's Tea Party

Chloe turns 8 and a month later we celebrate with a tea party! Blowin' out the candles!

Stella after a cupcake or cookie!

Riley after cookie decorating!

Decorating cookies and a balloon stomp were among the activities at the party!

Party table!

Had to get a shot of our pretty tea party table!

Chloe and Riley blowing up balloons

Ready for tea?
