Boys and reptiles . .

Brian picked up this little lizzard today, and showed it to Kade. Kade actually let him put it on his shoulder, he walked around, and it didn't move. Brian took it off of Kade's shoulder and put it on his hand, and it ran right back up to his shoulder and stayed there. Boys and reptiles. . .

What a difference one day makes

Saturday

Sunday

Yesterday we were under severe thunderstorm warnings, with threats of hail and tornadoes - but thanks be to God we only got beneficial rain, and a little thunder & lightning.

There wasn't much to do but stay indoors, but we managed - Brian was gone to a powerlifting meet all day (& evening), so the boys & I played Wii, played on the computer, watched a couple of movies and some cartoons too. For being stuck inside it wasn't too bad.
And today, is absolutely beautiful.

Kade the Photographer

For Christmas, Santa gave Kade a Vtech Kidizoom camera.
He has so much fun with it - he takes pictures of everyone. It has a neat feature to where he can take them with special effects or a background. He also loves playing the games on it - it uses pictures he took, and cuts them into 4, 6 or 8 pieces, and mixes them up, then he has to put it back the right way. One night when I went check to see if he was sleeping, I found him in bed playing games on his camera.

Here's some of his photography (he also wanted to type, so the next line is by him too) kade 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

A Beautiful Weekend

We had a couple of Beautiful days this weekend - it was sunny, but not too hot (yet warm enough for shorts).

For Christmas we gave the boys a baseball set each - Noah's is a backstop for him to practice pitching and fielding, and Kade's is a tee & backstop. (So when Brian's at practice and they both want to play/practice, this will make it a little easier on me.) Well, this was the perfect weekend to bring both out, and they had soo much fun.

Today was also filled with fun - this morning Debbie, Louis, Beau, Noah, Kade & Conner all went out in the back of mom & dad's place (we call it the jungle) and they cut a trail just big enough for the 4wheelers to fit. They went round and round, and couldn't get enough - they had a blast!! Then after lunch we went fishing - Kade started out as the one on fire catching all the perch, but Beau & Noah soon caught up. As for Conner, well, he wanted no part of the fish, he did however like throwing rocks & sticks in the water.

It was such a fun weekend that Kade tuckered out at 6:30 this evening.

It was awesome - I love beautiful weekends like this.

This weekend while in a store the boys talked Granny in to buying them something (like that was hard to do). Kade picked out this little tiger puppet for a dollar, and it has become his best friend. He has played and played with that thing, he'll get into a conversation with him, or just sit there petting it - it is so cute. He wants to get everyone else to play too - yesterday he had Aunt Diane, Brooke & me all pretending to be "Tigger Tiger" and playing hide & seek or any other game he could come up with.

so. . .

hours of fun and a new best friend, priceless

The Big Game

no, I don't mean the superbowl. . .

Beau and the Cardinals had an all important basketball game this evening. In district the only loss we have is to this team. They beat us 29-20 (this was the 1st game they scored less that 100 points). Well this evening the Cardinals gave them their first loss!!!!!!!!! We beat them 62-49, it was awesome!!

So, now if we win the rest of our district games and they do the same, we'll probably have to have a playoff game with them to see who will be district champs.

By the way, the superbowl didn't end the way I wanted it to, but oh well - there were some funny commercials :)
