TOO LONG

It has been too long since I have written. My heart has wanted to but with getting setteled, kids in a new school, quilting and having family around it has been busy. Things here in Snowflake are going all right the weather has been great and it is nice to get to see family. We miss Chris terribly and we are soooooo excited for him to return to us even if it is only for a couple of weeks.

Alec had a nice birthday and a lot of family was able to attend. George and Melissa also came up for his special day. It was nice to see them too.



Look at all his loot! He really had fun and a large audience

George, Melissa and Alec


Alec got a spiderman skateboard with knee and elbow pads along with a helmet. All the kids loved trying it out.Thanksgiving was nice too. All of my mom's brothers and sisters were here except Aunt Deb ( we missed you) and of course the holidays are never the same without the love of your life. I hope everyone is doing ok. I do miss Minot!!!! I know laugh all you want but I do. So to all of you friends out there. I love you and miss you and thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life.

Pre Inspection

Well we had our pre-inspection today. It is hard to believe that we will be leaving soon and a lot of it does not seem real. The movers will be here next week and I feel like I need some lessons on how to be more organized for this move. What do I take? What do I not take? What do I need for this week or for 4 months? What will I miss out of our things from home? Where do we stay? What will it cost? So many things have been running through my head!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! Does anyone want to come to ND to help either, clean, paint, or babysit???? All in the joys of moving I guess.

First Snow Oct. 12th 2008

Well, we woke up to snow this morning and the kids were so excited. they kept asking all day if they could go out and play. It warmed up though and rained for most of the day so the snow is gone now. What would Minot ND be without snow? I've always like snow even though the cold comes with that. Plus I guess it does not seem so bad since we only have a couple of weeks left now.

Pumpkins,Pumpkins,Pumpkins

This week went by so fast. Chris has been working a lot to get ready for an inspection and he even had to go in this weekend. Poor guy! We miss him! Alyssa and Alec are doing great in school. Alyssa came home with a report card of how she is doing so far and she has A's in everything.YEAH!!!!!! She loves school and also loves to play school when she is at home. Who knows maybe we have a future teacher on our hands. Alec wanted to create a chart for when he would get green cards for the day. So we made a calendar chart that he can put stickers on if he receives a green card. He wanted to name it "Alec's Amazing Sticker Chart" he has been so excited about it. Hopefully he will get his first sticker today!!!!! I have been busy getting things ready for our move. Since we are leaving soon we have been trying to go as many places that we can that we promised the kids that we would do one last time. So, here are lots of pictures of the corn maze and Papa's Pumpkin Patch in Bismarck.

As you can see we added a new family member into the picture. Teddy the dog loved following us around the corn maze and Alec loved him. He was very disappointed when we told him that he could not take him home.

The kids loved jumping and playing on the huge hay mazes including Chris who kept saying babe look at how far I can jump. It was fun to see him having such a good time.


Dancing Bowlers

I finally got this to work. So Sit back relax and enjoy!!!!!

Bowling

Friday September 26th
Once a month we try to go bowling as a family. We always have so much fun. I used to be so good at bowling especially out on dates. Maybe it was luck I do not know but now I am not so great. I did not feel very well and I knew I was starting to get sick but I guess I should not blame that on the ball huh? I still wanted to play though because who would want to miss out on this kind of fun.


Hayden used to lay down after he threw his ball slowly down the lane but know he raises his arms up to say YEAH!!!!!! Even before the ball is even hit the pins. It is so cute!And who would know that there would be dancing at the bowling alley. There is always music playing in the background and the boys had fun dancing around. I had to record it! I tryed to down load the video but for some reason it did not like it. I will try agian after I post this!
