Fort Rapids

We tood the children to Fort Rapids Resort. There arent many picture of Abby because she took her best friend with her. Most all of the picture of Abby also have the other child in the pictures, and I dont want to plaster another persons child all over my blog in her bathingsuit :)

A love that is never ending.....

Phillip has been in love with the Vacuume for as long as he has been able to crawl.

For Christmas he recieved his very own.....

They have been linked since.



Two peas....one room...

Mama made hats!

I crochet some hats for the kids.

Abagael loved hers and since she had a hat, Phillip just wanted to wear it all the time so I made him one. Of course he doesnt wear it!

Music Time!!!!

Phillip has this Fisher Price cassette tape that he just adores! I however do not. The only time he gets to hear it is in the car, because that is the only place we have a tape player (ya know, 'cause our car is THAT old!).

Well I found this tape player at the thrift store for .90 and got it for him. Gave him my headphones and BOOM! Instant, happy child who was sitting completely still. This went on for about 2 days, I LOVED it! And then, the player started eating the tape. It was heartbreaking!

In loving memory....

Kevins uncle (favorite uncle)Tim passed away this afternoon. Kevin was able to spend some time with him in October and now he is very greatful for that time. For those of you who know Kevin, you know how dear musi is to his heart. His Uncle Tim is also very musical. He and Kevin are the only 2 people in the family who play and enjoy music to the fullest.

Kevin is very sad and lonely today. Tim has requested that his ashes be set to sea (he was in the Navy) so its my understanding that there will be no offical "service". Tims mother has now outlived her husband and 3 of her Children.

Tim passed from a heartattack at the prime age of 48.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

What a beautiful day it is! Our children could not have been happier!
