SWINGING BROTHERS! Kannin, Ryder & Tysen

Playing With The Cousins!

Last week Ryder & Mommy got to play with the cousins (Cosette, Sebastian, Analise & Bjorn) while Aunt Amber & Hannelora were at a Dr. appointment. We spent most of the time in the toy room and reading books. "They LOVE Books."

Cosette showing me her flashcards she learns with in school. I was really impressed!

Sebastian shows me his dribbling abilities!

Analise bounced on this ball for I bet a half hour! I was exhausted just watching her!!

Bjorn was so full of smiles all morning. So Cute!

Cosette, Sebastian, Ryder & Analise in the toyroom. It was so fun to see them all and find out their interests. They are all so different but got along real well!

Snowy Play

This is what we woke up to this morning (Sun Oct 12) Enjoy the pics of the GOOD & the BAD!

(BY CLICKING ON ANY OF THE PICTURE ON MY BLOG...THE PICTURES ENLARGE)

Kannin trudges through the deep snow...all bundled up. Looks like he fell with that snow on his head!

Ryder playing with neighbor boy Tristan in the snow!

Ryder & Kannin hiding behind the snow wall.

Kannin thought he would go back to his swingset in the backyard...until he realized there is 3 FEET of snow along with snowdrifts blocking his way!

Our Mailbox was ALMOST burried!

Oct 12, 2008...SNOW DAMAGES!!!

Last Night's storm brought in more snow than our poor trees knew what to do with! Above picture is a large branch that came 2" from our bedroom window! What a wake-up that would have been!

View of the damages to our trees in the front yard! The Clean-Up begins!

Big Tree in front of our bedroom...We are hoping it doesn't Split!

And the piles of branches and limbs start to accumulate!

My neighbor's house across the street. We heard a chainsaw all morning because Wilson's tree fell on the Ranson's son's car.

First Snow of the Season!!!

Yesterday...10/10...it started snowing...and it hasn't stopped yet!

Tysen's Football Game was cancelled. We are supposed to have 2 1/2 - 3 Feet by Sunday 10/12! It never fails to snow just days before I plan to make a trip to South Dakota! Here are some pictures taken from our Bay Window overlooking our backyard.

First Bus Ride To School

Little Kannin started Pre-School on Wed. Oct. 8th. His teacher said he has done great the first few days and thinks we will see much progress with him! Today (10/10/08) was the first day the BUS picked him up for school. We woke up to snow on the ground and much more on the way I guess. We had to bundle up and wait for the bus...that picks him up EVERYDAY at 7:50a.m. and brings him home at 11:40a.m. These pictures were from this morning.

Snow+Cold= Bundling Up!

"Kannin Look! The bus is coming!"




He started out good...getting right on the bus...

...At this point he was starting to get unsure about the big bus!

Very Sad...but he DID calm down once I went in the house...and then they were on their way!

Make Your Own "Pizza Night"
