Tree Climbing

It has taken until now for Russell and Chloe to figure out that trees were for climbing. They are in there every day. When one gets stuck the other one comes to the house to get me. During the summer things might be a little different when they do not have the protection of their snowsuits to keep from getting scratched.

Ranger with an owie

This is our lovely dog not feeling very well because his pain medicine has worn off. He cut the pad on his foot and I took him to the vet today to get it stiched up. So he is very low key and will be for a few days. This is the second time this year he has been the vet for an injured foot. I think the vet should offer frequent visitor discount or something!!

Russell and Chloe's Singing Debut

Russell and Chloe sang a Jesus medley at church yesterday. This video was taken just with my camera so it is not good. We have the real version on our other video camera. I think I was more nervous than they were. I was sacred they were going to freeze up and I would be singing a solo!! They are ready to sing another song with Auntie Kimmy in December.

Curtis and I are trying to get the kids use to being upfront in church and to not be scared. We told the kids that nothing will happen and nobody will through things at you.

Winter Fun

Yes, Chloe is the one with the blue toque and looks like a boy. She is our Tom Boy!!

Chloe just watching Russell make the snow pile bigger!!

We had a nice dump of snow on Friday night, enough that we drug the bottom of the car on the way to church. Curtis had the frame for the blade already mounted on the quad and was waiting for snow to have a chance to plow. Well today was the day. The kids spent an hour and half chasing the quad, riding on it, and getting covered in snow from the plow. Needless to say the kids and dog are very tired and have been sleeping since 6:30 pm. I am happy to see the snow because now Russell and Chloe have new things to play with (the slide is twice as fast in the winter).

A Grandparents Love

Russell and Chloe look up to their Grandparents lots and think they are very cool. I hope it stays that way. Sabbath seems to be a good day to take pictures because we all seem to look our best and they definalty want to have picture with Grandma and Grandpa.

Church Cuties

Grandpa and Russell like to match for church.
Ashley (Pastor's daughter), Briana (my niece) and Chloe dressed alike for church, accidentially!

Russell wanting in on the action too.

Russell cleaning up after supper!!

Russell has been wanting to clean up after the meals (which I'm happy for). With it being a little colder outside, Ranger likes to come in more often. So the dishes take a stop by Ranger before they hit the dishwasher. Don't worry everyone, I have a sanitary cycle on the dishwasher!!

Ashley Brummund's 3rd Birthday Party

The Pastor of our church, their youngest daughter turned 3
Thursday. The kids had
a blast playing with the
toys and trying to open
the pinate. Pastor Shawn's arm was getting really sore by the time the candy came out.

The noise makeres are always a hit!!

Ashley is showing the kids how it is done.
