Christmas Fun...

Yesterday Gabe had his Christmas Program @ school. It included many holiday songs for Christmas, Hanukkah, and winter songs. We pieced together some of the songs and wanted to share them. Gabe is on the second row from the top in a tie next to the boy in the cowboy hat. Merry Christmas!

Reece & the Quik

Today Reece thought it would be fun to play in the dirt. Chris didn't like this too much, so he brought Reece in with his truck and told him not to play in the dirt. This is what he decided to do.

Selah & Reece & the Bridge

A few weeks back we had the opportunity to go to Chris' grandmas cabin. Previously I shared some pictures from that trip. Well this is one of those that Chris photoshopped to make a little artsy. Notice how the pine trees in the middle look a little different...like a real picture. Click here for full resolution.

This morning Chris, Gabe, & Selah went with Grandpa Peterson to get straw for our autumn decorations. Now we are all ready for the fall season. Tammy helped her friend have a yard sale this morning while the others were out.

First Week of School

This week was the first week of school. Gabe started first grade and Selah started kindergarten. So now Reece has mom all to himself for four hours during the day. Here are some pictures from this week.

First Day of School

Western Idaho Fair

Fun at the Fair! Last night we went to the Western Idaho Fair. It was Family Day which meant a lot of kids. But ours had fun there. We met up with Cort and Emily and their boys and O'Dell, Grandma, and Carley. Carley brought a friend, so they tired out Dad keeping up with them. It was fun. We have gone on this family day for a few years now and it has always been great. Last night the weather was great. It was overcast, with a little wind. But not hot. That was the best part. There were a few little gusts of wind, one scared Selah a bit. But one ride on the big kangaroo and she was ready to go. Here are some pictures of the fun we had.

Selah Friend Party

Selah had a friend birthday party. Here is some fun from that. The last song is from the movie "High School Musical", Selah got it for her birthday and the kids love it.

Selah Family Party...Hair raising fun!

Selah turned five today. Here is some video from the event. Watch her hair...Hot Stuff!

Reece turned two and we had some friends come into town from Denver. It was a lot of fun. We went to the Farmer's Market and to Lakeview swimming park. Here is some footage from the birthday and the Farmer's Market.

Tammy had a project these past couple weeks, organize the kids rooms. This was a daunting task, but she was fearless. The outcome was a bedroom where the kids can sleep and a toyroom where the kids can play. Here are the results.

Happy Birthday Gabe!!!!!!

From Christmas 2006

Today is Gabe's 6th Birthday.Six years ago on Superbowl Sunday Mom & Dad went to the Hospital and two days later Gabe was born. He is a great kid and loves to play with his younger sister and brother. He is a great example for them. We Love You!

Organizing photos I came upon some early pictures of Gabe & Selah. They are (were) cute kids. These are all pre-Reece.

Here is a video of the kids playing with their new tent maze. Our living room was a "playplace" for a while.

Christmas was fun. The kids had a blast (isn't that what Christmas morning is about). Here are some pictures of our holiday fun.

Christmas 2006

FHE...Tonight we did two activities for our family night.
1.) We built castles that the kids picked up at Lowes on Saturday. They went there to a workshop but there were so many people that there was not enough room for everyone. So we completed the project tonight.
2.) We wrote letters to the Tammy's brother Tim who is in Iraq. The kids like it, they get a chance to practice their writing .
So while we were working on both I took the chance to video them. Enjoy.
