Books

This is the book shelf mom painted for Wyatt a couple of years ago. It is normally stuffed with books but Ryan and Allan like to lay in it. I have to pick up the books everyday off of the floor. They where getting ruined, so I finally gave in and moved them. I hope Ryan likes his new hideout, but I am sure it wont be as much fun now that he cant make a mess too.

Wyatt went and spent the day with Grandpa Burke. He had so much fun. Dad took him to the store and told him to pick out something. Well Wyatt being Wyatt he couldn't get anything without getting his brothers something too. He picked out these guns. They are awesome toys. They do 9 different sounds depending on how you put it together and the kids can do it themselves. They are just VERY annoying for the parents.

They also shoot darts out of the front.

On Saturday Jerry and his brother took Taylor and Ryan fishing. Wyatt went and spent the day with Grandpa Burke. They fight over who had the funnest day. I think it is a toss up.
This is Taylor, Ryan and Hunter.


Cory and Taylor and the fish they caught.

Jerry and Ryan with the fish they caught.

We had to cook the fish for the boys. I cant believe how much bones are in it. If we plan on doing it again I think we had better learn how to flay.

On Tuesday night we went over to moms to do cards for the stamp camp. It was a lot of fun to get together and talk. Dad ended up watching the kids. Wyatt cried to him and wanted a bath, dad gave in and Wyatt ended up with an awesome bath.

It was so much fun having Amy there. She is so nice and funny. Thanks for coming Amy!

Nicla was hard at work and still ended up leaving before she was done.

On a different note I have been driving Jerry to work everyday and picking him up. Well in the mornings he starts the car so it is warm for the kids. This morning he still had the house keys in his pocket when we got home. I had to break into the house. I couldn't fit in the window so I had Taylor crawl through and unlock the door. I just had to make him do it again so I could get a picture.

Yesterday the boys got into the trailer and was playing around. I heard screaming so I went to see what was wrong. As I walked around the trailer I could hear "LET US OUT OF HEAR!" They were freaking out. I thought they had got the door closed and couldn't figure out how to open it and were just panicking. I went into the trailer and could see Ryan playing on the table but couldn't see the boys. I could hear them bawling their heads off though. I fallowed the sound and they had locked themselves in the back cupboard and couldn't get out. I was laughing so hard Wyatt kept telling me it wasn't funny. I don't know how long they were in there for but their heads were very sweaty so it had to have been a little while at least. I think Wyatt will be scared for life, as for Taylor he was over it by the time we got in the house.

T-Ball

Wyatt has started T-Ball. It is so cute to watch them play. He is not sure what base to run to and all the kids run after the ball and fight over it. When Wyatt reaches home plate he picks up the bat, I keep telling him he doesn't have to do that but he thinks that's what he is supposed to do.

Last week we took a ride on the train to see Nicla. To get to the station we had to ride a bus and then get on the train. It was a lot of fun and the kids thought it was a great adventure. On the bus some people got on and sat behind us and started saying bad words. The REALLY bad ones. I was asking the kids if they wanted to sing a song hopping to block out the rude people, when the bus drive got on the speaker thing and told them that if they wanted to continue talking like that they could get off. I was so grateful! When we got off I told him thank you for noticing.

We took Wyatt's training wheels off to try and teach him to ride his bike. Well he was practicing and then we took a break. He started saying he was scared to fall. I told him it only hurt for a minute and he would be fine. I was teasing him and asked if he wanted me to push him down so he would know what it would feel like. Well I missed judged the distance and REALLY pushed him down I felt so bad. He scratched up his leg from his ankle to his knee. What a mean mom. I kept telling him how sorry I was. We finished outside and went into get ready for bed. He wanted to say the prayer for the night. He said the normal things "thanks for the day" "bless we will sleep good" stuff along those lines and then ended the prayer saying "And please bless that mommy wont push me down anymore Amen." Me and Jerry were laughing so hard we couldn't lift our heads yet, (we trying to do it quietly) Wyatt sat there for a minute and then said "Hey guys I said Amen!" I feel horrible for pushing him down. He was so funny afterward, you have to love kids.

Dog

Jerry has wanted another dog for a long time. His brothers old dog is going to have pups and he was going to get one. I do not want another Rottweiler. So we made a deal. I would not complain about a dog if he could find a free one that was not a Rottweiler. He found one like the next day. Ever have a feeling you have been set up? It is a German Short Hair and so cute. He is very smart, we have almost had him a week and he is almost potty trained he goes to the door already. Wyatt named him Hunter because he is going to be the hunting dog. LOL.

He loves the kids. He has to sleep with someone at all times. Wounder how that will work out when he weighs 50 pounds.

We had to get the dog kennel back from Nicla, good thing she was done using it. The dog doesn't like but the kids seem too.
