Benjamin Sings

Flower Child

Benjamin likes to garden.  Actually he likes to destroy plants...sort of the opposite of gardening.  Here he is hard at work. Christy

Emily's Preschool Graduation

We have a preschool graduate!   Emily's plans for after graduation are to enjoy camping with her family and then head to kindergarten in the fall where she hopes to learn to read.

I remember....

ten years ago looking through photos of  Wes and myself with my mum.   She said we would look back at these and think about how we were just  kids when we got married.  I said, "Oh yeah,"  but I thought, "Yeah right!"   Well here we are ten years later, and I can't help thinking we looked more like we were headed to our high school prom than to our wedding.

Happy anniversary Wes!  It's been a great ten years and I'm so happy we'll be spending the rest of our lives together.

Jayson's Speech

Jayson gave his speech at school this morning and he is certainly getting more confident being up front!  He was nervous but I suspect he enjoyed the attention.







He wrote the speech all by himself and his teacher translated it to French for him.  Here's the English version:

My Treehouse

Hello, My name is Jayson.
This summer I will build a treehouse.
I will need a ladder, wood, and some nails.
I will build secret drawers.
I will put little animals in it, and I will put lots of food in it too.
My dad will help me build it.
We will put a door on it so the bears can't get in.
I will play in it when it is done.
Thank you.

Birthday Boy!

Our sweet Benjamin is two!

Happy Birthday Benjamin!  We love you!

Wishing the winter would end...

So this winter has been crazy with tons of snow, and alas we have more coming.  It seems to have been quite a while since we have written on here, but I hope to start writing more again.

The most current thing for our kids that is, is Emily got a new bed.  Well, it's a used new bed, but now she has her own room and the boys are sharing.  Last night as Ben was falling asleep, Jayson couldn't resist piling stuffed animals on him and shining a flashlight in his face.  Oh brothers!  But the transition seems to be settling in tonight.

More to come!
