Well I swear this hasnt been up and running for a while, but since I can post now I will. Here are some recent pictures of Dallas. He is now crawling everywhere and pulling himself to a standing position on anything and everything. No words yet. But he makes noise. And yes that first picture is him at my computer.(I wasn't home). Others are just there. Kassie and I are doing fine. She is doing her student teaching this fall, which starts on Tuesday. I am waiting for the position in Seattle to open up so I can apply for that. Anyways thats about it.


Hello!

I have been the biggest slacker on this whole blog. I could never remember my password so I had to create a whole new one and it still let me on this post without losing anything. School is in full tilt and it is nice to have the girls going together. They ride their bikes and don't have to wait on anyone. Sidnee is so excited that she makes her lunch every night and bugs me at 7 am to see when she can leave. They don't leave until 7:40. She is on a new diet. She has had some erractic emotions, so the doctor said to take her off of all grains and refined sugar. She also can't have caffiene. There is a special bread that she can have called Spelt bread. I finally located a loaf at the health food store. It cost me $4.69. So I am now searching for a recipe so that I can make my own and maybe save some money. The girls are loving school and Mason can't wait to start preschool next week. 4 hours a week with just one at home. Aahh, sweet bliss. Jaxon and I have contracted Giardia. Our city water is contaminated. The doctor says that it just has to run it's course, which can be up to 25 - 30 days. All while we are trying to potty train. It doesn't work to well when the kid is extra gaseous and air is not all that comes out. he went through 13 pull ups yesterday. He has stayed in good spirits though. Mason just started soccer last saturday. He was the only one to score a goal on his team. Needless to say, his team got slaughtered. The house is very quiet with just the boys home. They play so well together. It is amazing how well they clean up after themselves when asked. When the girls get home it becomes total chaos. They have to be told repeatedly to clean up. They aren't going to have much playing or tv time if they don't get with the system. Steve and I are doing well and staying busy. It is now canning season and I have been dehydrating fruits to make nut & fruit mix. I bought 16 pounds of strawberries at .60/lb. I am trying pears and kiwis right now. I want to get some peaches in the next couple of weeks. Our tomatoes and peppers are doing great and we have enjoyed fresh salsa lately. We have 6 baby watermelon coming and 3 pumpkins. I am so ready for fall. I love the hot days and cool nights. I am looking forward to using our firebowl. OUr yard is finally coming back to life since we replaced the sprinkler and can now water more than 30 minutes a week. Well I must go, the chaos has arrived.

well hello family.

Well I see no one uses this anymore we are all so busy that no one has time. Well an up date on us. Bo and I are still busy working away. The boys love there daycare. They would rather live with them. Jeremy went out and bought a motor bike for them. They are spoiled rotten by Jeremy and Krista. Since they don't have kids of there own they have taken ours in as their own. There are other kids that go there, but they don't get spoiled like ours. Football has started full scale here now. So Bo and dad are really busy. We have practice from 7-8:30 tues, wed, thur, and games on friday. Bo loves it. The boys on the team love Bo also because he makes it a ton of fun for them. We are slowly getting moved in. I repeat slowly. This long weekend hopefully we will get pictures up and everything put away. That is our goal, but you know how it is when you want to get something done and plan on it, it never works out. I also have to go put a saddle on the filly this long weekend. The hot tub keeps us up late because the boys think they need to go swimming (imming as Braycen says it) every night. As for the other member of our family Jake we are trying to keep him alive (the dog) . The Vet doesn't know what is wrong he has had several blood draws and they can't figure it out. He goes in sperts of having a good day and a bad day. Where he can't walk at all he just falls over. Right now we are having a good day. they think it might be a disease that eats his bones and muscles away. but he is running and jumping so they can't figure it out. Dad thinks he is just growing to fast. He is such a good dog though. He is so gentle he would be an excellent house dog mom and dad say. Well that is all that is new with us. Well we love you all and think of you often. Hopefully we will see you all at Christmas time. Cam I want to see some pics of that baby I hear he is so cute and chubby.
Bo and Deni
