Russell the Trucker

These pictures were taken last Thursday when Russell went to spend the day with Grandpa. Last night I took Russell to the highway to meet Grandpa in the big truck. They are hauling a load of canola to Carstairs and bringing back fertilizer. Russell was so exctied to go. He will be gone for a few days, back on Tuesday. He knows how to start the truck and what all the buttons are for. Soon he will be the one driving while Grandpa sleeps.

Another chance to sing

Russell and Chloe sang another medley for church. They ask to sing almost every Sabbath. It was extra special because Grandma and Grandpa Whitmore were here to see it.

Christmas in January

Grandma and Grandpa Whitmore were her last weekend to have a little Christmas with the kids. Russell and Chloe were very excited. Russell thought it was October again and he was just getting presents early and December was close.

Russell received Cranky the Crane and Jack for his Thomas set and Chloe opened a doll house complete with furniture, very cute.

Things We Have Been up to in the Last While

Chloe helping shovel the snow.

Ranger getting his blood pressure taken by Dr. Chloe.

Curtis doing some wiring in the basement. He looks so enthused!!

Chloe the John Deere mechanic fixing a train track.

A Good Day's Work

With the weather like this, it is a good day to paint.

When I paint, Russell and Chloe get to do things they normally don't do like make beds with all the blankets we have in the house.

This is the before picture of my bathroom. It might be a little hard to see. The butterscotch color on the left is the old,and the milk chocolate is the new. I love the 10' ceilings but they are hard to paint. I am thankful I am married to a man that likes when I paint. Those who know me know that I am not afraind of color, hence the chocoalte brown!!

This is the finished product minus the missing towel rack yet.
