We went and had easter photos done.

Easter 2009

There are

more to come!

Just an update on us. We're still waiting for the final word on Farmington. We're hoping to have an answer on the 16th of this month. Otherwise, we are all doing well. Ryan is working hard and trying to keep positive about Farmington. Sebastien is doing well also. His grades are good and his behavior is showing marked improvement. Amaya is good, growing so fast I can't keep up. Outgrowing 6mo clothes! She is so long. And trying to sit up on her own. Thank you Aunt Lynette for letting us use your saucer! It's been a wonderful tool=) I am doing ok too. Trying to keep up and plan for the move. We'll let you all know as soon as we do! Hope every one is well.

Carter lost another tooth last month... (Febuary 9th)We went out to pizza and the tooth came out at the restaurant. we had to bring it home wrapped in a napkin for the tooth fairy...


Some friends of ours dropped off Valentines cookies. We had already put Kendall to bed but you know me and sugar. I didn't know if I would have the self control not to eat her cookies that night so we woke her up so she could share in the fun of eating sugar cookies when you should be in bed : )
February 28th - We got 6 inches of snow on Saturday morning. The kids couldn't wait to go out and sled. Too bad Kendall only went down a few times before she was too Cold but I have a few videos too. She had a great time. I found a snow suit and snow boots on sale at walmart today so next year she will be nice and warm. We went out sleding while the snow was still coming down and the wind was blowing so it was pretty cold but all the neighborhood kids came to share in the fun of the hill in our back yard. (this hill is long enough to have fun going down and short enough that your not exhausted when you get to the top after hiking back up)

Kids

This is what Takoda has been up to the last month or so. She is doing really well with it during the day I haven't tried bedtime yet just because she is still in her crib so we will wait a little longer on the bedtime training.

Takoda also has been found doing this and thinks she is so funny. Who says syrup isn't a great drink especially right from the container!
Shelby and Takoda love to help vaccum so I let them do it together. They seem to enjoy doing it so why not they have their chore now.
Then the kids found a jump rope and have started playing with it. Brody has almost got the jumping part down if he would just slow down a little he would have it.

Our Kendall has learned to ride her bike!!! She loves it. The little girl down the street about a year older than Kendall was out riding today. I've been trying to get Kendall on it a few times and she has peddled around our driveway. Today she saw the other little girl doing it and wow. She took off, she can even stop herself by pedaling backwards! Enjoy the cute video!

A laugh for today

Floyd: 'Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?'
Sheriff: 'Yes. What can I do for you?'
Floyd: 'I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith....He's hiding' marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he's hiding' it there.'
Sheriff: 'Thank you very much for the call, sir.'
The next day, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house . They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave.
Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house.
Floyd: 'Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd....Did the Sheriff come?'
Virgil: 'Yeah!'
Floyd:'Did they chop your firewood?'
Virgil: 'Yep!'
Floyd: 'Happy Birthday, buddy!'
