Happy Belated Birthday Dad Hall

So I got so mad at myself. I took the camera out to Malta for the Roberts Dad birthday and I did not even get it out, I was so mad. I do have to say though that it was a lot of fun to have all of his siblings there for the Saturday birthday lunch, minus his sister Arlene. We hate having them live so far away and wish they could have been there. Friday Charles and Annette, John and Holly family, and Robert and I family all showed up out to Malta, and then on Saturday Corey and Kerry's family showed up. Richard and Marlene live out there now so of course they were all ready there. We all had a big birthday lunch for him and had a fun time visting. I hope that you (Dad) had a good time and was suprised. We love you and appreciate all the things that you have done for our family.

I can't believe it snowed today!

Well I don't have any pictures to prove it, but it did snow today. Yesterday was such a beautifull day, and then today it was way cold. We even have to turn our heater on so we will not freeze tonight. With the change of weather means sickness. Dyllon already has his first cold, poor thing. Well I would rather deal with that then the flu though. The flu has been going around a lot lately, and we even have had three confirmed cases of the swine flu in the High school here in Shelley. Hopefully we can stay away from that. We our out of school for 2 weeks due to spud harvest so hopefully everyone can get feeling better out there. The kids our doing great. Matthew and Brianna love school, and Dyllon asks me everyday when he gets to go to school. Some days he will put on an old back pack of Matthews and walk around the house with it full of books and toys. He is so cute and I wish he would quit growing up so fast. Next year will be hard when he gets to go to preschool. We got our garden all picked last night so nothing will freeze, and we have lots of spahgetti squash. Roberts work is still good. He is still considered temporary but hopefully soon he can get on permantly. He really likes his job and so do I. He has great hours and we get to spend more time with him. Well that is about it for tonight.

Pictures of the kids!

Today I was trying to get some cute pictures of the kids, I have gotten behind on just portrait pictures and this is what I got. They did pretty good but all my kids have fake smiles. We really have to work hard on getting them to smile. Brianna would wine and Dyllon would not hold still. Matthew did pretty good, but he would try to mess around. Now I know why I don't try to take a lot of pictures of them. It is such a fight.

Hi I have not blogged for a while!

I have not taken any new pictures but I felt like blogging today! I got this great idea from another blog and I really like it. She usually has pictures of her kids but she just journals on her blog and let's people know what is going on in her life, and that is why I am making my blog private most likely. E-mail me if you would like an invite. shallmk@hotmail.com. School is going great for the kids. Its fun to see how differant Brianna and Matthew are. Brianna does not fight doing her homework, and Matthew still does. My sister Kim told me a few funny stories about Matthew the other day and I thought I would share. I guess there is a girl that chases him around at recess and tries to kiss him and my niece who is in second grade caught this happening one day. She ran up to Matthew and grabbed him and said "Matthew you can not date until you are sixteen years old". I thought it was pretty funny. Then my sister was doind this ladies hair that help test Matthew in school and they were testing letter sounds. I guess when the test was done Matthew looked up and said" This is the stupidest test I have ever taken". WOW! He is quite the character. Dyllon is becoming a major mamas boy because we spend all day together. He is so cute though and I love all my children so much. I am so lucky to be a mom and be able to stay home with them.

Brianna and Matthew's first day at school!

Today was a sad but happy day. Matthew and Brianna started school. I was fine when Matthew got on the bus but, when Brianna got on, I cried like a little baby. My only and my baby girl is growing up. Time flies so fast! Here is Brianna and her friend Ellie. They went to preschool together last year and this year they have the same teacher.

I Forgot my Camera, Sorry

So last Saturday all day Matthew kept asking us to go fishing. We were trying to do other things around the house and kept telling him not right now. Well after being asked about a million dozen times, we packed up our fishing stuff and went to my parents dock and went fishing. The kids were so excited. We got down there and Robert had to get all the fishing pools ready with hooks and then when he was done I would put a worm on. I got the first fishing pool and cast it out and set it on a log for Brianna. Matthew got his and he cast it out, and it hit the water, and he set his real, and walla, he had a fish and reeled him in. Seriously it was like 45 seconds. He was so excited. It was a nice brown and we kept it and ate it. It was pretty good! But after he caught we heard, "Can we go home". You got to be kidding me. You asked to go fishing all day, and we came and it has been 10 minutes and he wants to go home. Well we did stay for about 1 and 1/2 hours and caught a sucker, but it was all fun. And during that 1 1/2 hours the all the kids, can we go home, Matthew caught a fish, lets go eat it. It was a nice family outing, and we had lots of fun.
