September

Preschool has started. It is a lot of fun and I look forward to it. It is a lot different that school. Not really a set thing to teach but all kinds of things to get accomplished before they are ready for Kindergarten. Alex loves it. He has friends at his house. Trinity misses out on nap time but likes school other than that.

We are going to have another baby Feb. 24th. We aren't finding out what it is. Okay if you know me I am going to have to know but I will try my hardest. It is kinda like I know where the Christmas presents are and not snooping. I don't know if I can handle it. This upsets Laura greatly because how is she going to make the blanket. That is all for September. Allan was busy with fires. Crazy fire season being this late. Burning will probably be around the corner.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of the fair. Trinity is a pretty good looking cowgirl. (Sorry it is sideways)
Donovan in the dirt after riding the sheep. Yep I missed it. Next time I am just going to have to go down there. It happens all too fast. He had fun and Alex can't stop talking about when he is four that he is going to ride a sheep.

Hanging out. It was a cold summer so we had to snuggle sometimes.
A week before fair it rained and rained. Donovan comes running inside to tell me they found a snake. Nope not going outside. It was big and they thought it was a pretty cool fine. Not me! Go away snake.

Big Waterfall

Of course I am still putting up MT pictures. I am slow. But I like the pictures. I think you will have to look at facebook for the rest because who knows when I will get the rest of MT on my blog. I might just have to move on. There is other things happening. We went to see the big waterfall.


Had to climb and sit on rocks.

Climb the stair to the swinging bridge. With little kids it is not fun to scary. Especially with Trinity wanting to leap out of your arms.

Alex too tired to walk. None the less I put him down and he gets hurt.
Which turned out to be my fault of course. Cut on the finger. Showing grandma Sue. He is tiredBig brother is there to make it all better.> How long does this brotherly love last. Soon it will be punches to the gut and wrestling matches. I can't wait.

Mt - Grandpa Kits House

Our first stop when we went to MT was Grandpa Kit's house. Linzie and her family were able to come. She was going to run in the Marathon but that didn't work out because she got sick. Trinity loved Linzie. Here are the girls hanging out on the grass.

We love to visit Grandpa because he buys fireworks. Really cool fireworks. So for Grandma's birthday we went and ate on top of a mountain and had fireworks.


Now of course we have to visit the cows. Yes, we even got to feed them and pet them. Kit herds his cows by calling them because he doesn't have a horse or a four wheeler. Which is cool because they are preety tame.

Everyone calling the cows. I have some more pictures of them actually getting licked and stuff but I can't get them off of the CD right now.

Great picture of Donovan on the tractor. Alex loves them but can I ever get the perfect picture of him on a tractor. No but I can get Donovan.
We brought our bikes on our adventure. We rode them one day but because the road is dirt it is hard to ride a bike we training wheels so we ended up pushing everyone. It first started out as the adults pushing them but soon the kids did the pushing. Donovan is the only one who could ride his bike so we had to share Alex's
It first started out as Emma pushing John but she couldn't do it by herself so Alex came to the rescue. But...

Later decided that wasn't nearly as fun!

Good times with Grandpa. Grandpa probably thought we were envading his house but we got some good laughs.

MT Visit - Ross Cedar

We always have to go see the big trees while at Grandma Sue's house. Trinity is tired in this picture.
After so many pictures I get silly boys.

Trinity not so sure she wants to see by Donovan. Sometimes Donovan gets to lovy

Alex crawling through the tree. It was a good tunnel. After that he wanted to crawl through all the trees.

Nice picture.

In the roots of a fallen down tree.
Trinity standing inside the tree. We have fun and it was nice and cool in the trees.

Happy First Birthday Trinity

We celebrated Trinity's birthday in Ohio but no pictures which I forgot to get from my mom. Any way we got home the day of Trinity's birthday and celebrated. Allan did a wonderful job with decorating and making a cake. From scratch no less. Trinity loved the presents but I think the boys liked them more.

She wanted to touch the candles.

After and before. Got them a little mixed up. Afterwards we had to play dress up and catch up wtih Daddy. It is amazing how fast she grows up. I swear with each get it gets faster. We are so blessed to have Trinity in our lifes and greatful for her too. Even when I was scared to have a girl. but for now it is working out.

Ohio Trip

We went to Ohio again. I am getting tired of going to Ohio. Most of the time we go to Ohio it really isn't for fun but we try to make it out to be fun. This time I took three kids and Nancy on a rode trip. Yep! We drove. The kids did wonderful. We stopped at pretty cool places like the candle shop in Indiana. Just in this trip we made it to 10 states: Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinios, Indiana, Ohio, Missiouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Utah. I think that is all of them. It took three days both way so 6 days of travel. We spend a couple of days with my Grandparents. Everyone came and of course we went to the zoo. Then we had to go to court. I think this is why I avoided this post because it is hard. I mean two months come on.
Riding Donovan's four wheeler at his dad's house. Great toy. Too expensive for me. Now Donovan has a real one. I am so excited. Not!

Reading while everyone else swims. Pretty funny. No swimming for me. Trinity decided she hates the water until she realized it was a big bathtub.

At the zoo. Pretty hard getting everyone too look. Especially when you have an Alex who would rather do anything than listen and a Trinity who could care less and Emma who will look but is done after a little while.

All the great grand kids with Granny Janney. Doesn't she look so happy. Yep point proven Alex and Emma not paying attention.

At grandma's we had to check out the backhoe. Too cute.

Okay so I know you are like what happened in court. I had to settle due to some events. I get Donovan for the summer, Christmas break, and spring break. I also can go out whenever and spend time with him. Derrick gets him for the school year. Not what I wanted but it is better than what it could be. I am dealing and trying to understand why this has to be like this? Still not sure. As August approaches it is getting harder. Especially when his dad bought him a four wheeler and the wonderful things that he comes home saying and knowing. So I am dealing. Some days are better than others. It could be worse.
