just chillin before their time on the obstacle course

andrew coming down the slide

dustin was to fast coming down the slide i finally got the picture as he made it all the way off and in my face

this is about as close as Kenzie would get to the bounce house. she kept saying she was scared, i didnt even know that she knew that word.

Variety of Pics

Here is our new car we bought to help save some money on gas prices, it is a 2005 Chevy Cavalier. It is in great shape and it is royal blue which makes me happy.

Nick carrying Kenzie out of church, they really do love her.

Nick trying to get Kenzie to the car, the reason he is carrying her in the above picture is because she would not move for him.

This is the best shot i could get of Dustin at his holiday chorus concert. In case you are not sure that is him in the stripped shirt with the santa hat on, the rest of the kids were lining up in front of him before the show started. he is actually waving at us.

Shopping pics

Nick is really bored to be at the mall, this is why we dont go there very often.

He still wanted to be bored, but you can see a little smirk there on him, cause i make him laugh even when he wants to be mad.

Dustin chose to ride the carosel, that is really why nick was so bored, he didnt want to admit that he really wanted to be up there riding it also, but a 13 year old boy just doesnt do that, or at least that is what he says.

Pre Christmas Pictures

Robert had just put up the tree and Kenzie found the elf hat in the box so she decided it was hers to wear.

Robert wanted a close up of him with Kenzie and the hats on.

TJ wanted a picture so he could put it on his phone. You know as much as the kids drive each other crazy and i was worried that the excitement of a little sister would wear off, they really like having her around and doing things like this, taking pictures with her and such.

We got our christmas decorations out and we have hats in the box so they all sat down on the futon for a picture.

But they had an argument as to how come TJ got to hold Kenzie, so Nick held her.

And Dustin held her, 1 time

2 times...

and 3 times because i couldn't get a good picture. i still dont think i got a very good one but oh well.

Our last few months

ok so i have not been very good about keeping up on this recently. we had a busy end of the summer and then a wedding to go to in Oct which was so much fun. We found out i was pregnant and announced it at the wedding, then 2 weeks later i miscarried. so i have been letting my body heal but at the same time trying to keep up with 4 busy kids. below are pictures of what we have been doing. i will try to keep up on this better but for now enjoy!!!!

Hunting season in New York. Much joy is brought by getting the deer and then filling the freezer. We save money if we have the time to process it ourselves which means skinning it, cutting it, and grinding it up into burger. Robert is grinding here, you cant see the machine behind his right corner but the bowl shows it all ground up ready to go into ziplock bags and into the freezer.

Before you can grind it you have to cut it into pieces so i am working hard at this. Do i enjoy this, not to much but it saves a lot of money and we use burger alot in the house so it all works out and you know Robert and i are in the kitchen spending time together and the kids see us doing things together and understand the whole circle of hunting and what happens after they are shot. You should all be grateful i didnt take pictures of the deer in the truck or hanging from the tree in the back yard.

Robert starting the cutting process. We have 2 deer in the freezer, 1 we had a company process and the other we did. i am happy with that amount of meet in the freezer but would be ok with at least 1 more.
