We have a bomb in our toliet!


With Chey there's never a dull moment. She keeps us laughing.
Tonight she was in the bathroom with me and the toliet wasn't flushing right so I lifted the lid to check it.
She said is that a BOMB! And of course I said yes it is, and I hope it doesn't blow up next time you are sitting on the toliet. And she replied, it's not gonna blow up you have to light the string first. Of course, I should have known. Then she ran off to tell Britt all about the bomb in our toliet. She never did ask WHY we have a bomb in our toliet.

And now our lil comedian is sound asleep, not the least bit worried about bombs. I just hope she doesn't tell everyone at church we have bombs in the house. Ha!

Library-Fire dept

Cheyenne's favorite storytime day every year is when the firemen come.



















When they ask who wanted to come try on the firemans coat, guess who was first in line?




















When they ask who wanted to help spray the fire hose, guess who was first in line?

And, when they ask the kids to stand next to the fireman for a group picture guess who jumped up right next to him?















She was also first one to sit in the fire truck. Meanwhile, Ryan just wandered around doing his own thing.



Afterward I ask Cheyenne if she wanted to be a fireman when she grew up and she said, "NO, then I'd have to get a partment and I don't want to move out." She thought about it a minute and said, "I think I'll just grow up and be a normal girl." I guess normal girls don't need partments.

Congratulations Chase!!!


Chase made employee of the month!

AND

Was offered a Team Leader position!

The only down side, it is Team Leader of the one position that he dislikes the most...Redemption. The area where you go to turn in your tickets for toys. Oh well.. but he gets a 50 cent an hour raise and free meals. I'm not sure which one he's more excited about though.



We are "incredibly" proud of you Chase!
You've worked hard and I know you'll do well in your new position.
CONGRATS
WE LOVE YOU
!!!!

Enjoying the nice weather before it's gone!

Since the weather was so nice we made a fire and roasted marshmallows tonight. Then girls wanted to tell ghost stories and guess who all is sleeping on my floor now.


Some of us enjoyed the smore's a little too much!!


Britt's in trouble when it really does turn cold.

Library Day


Today's theme was alligator snap! at storytime. We heard stories and a video about alligators and colored a picture of an alligator. Then Chey played on the computer (they have preschool games) while Ryan played and Courtney found some books.










Ryan has allergy/sinus type stuff so he's slobbering and
has a runny nose. I think the slobber is because his throat
is sore. So, hence the beautiful bib.

And check out Courtney:

I took Brittany and Courtney for eye exams last friday. Brittany's eye's have improved a little she only needs glasses for reading now and Courtney is nearsighted so she had to get glasses. I felt bad she walked out with her glasses and said wow everything is so clear now. Ha! I had no idea she might need glasses. Well now she's joined the rest of the blind women in the family.

Brittany's Birthday Party

Brittany had a good time at her party. I think we had about 15 kids here at various times. They ate hotdogs and lots of chips and drank tons of soda. We had a small bonfire and made smores, actually the kids made smores and gave them to Cheyenne, they liked roasting the marshmallows and chey liked eating them. Cheyenne thinks she's as big as all the teens so she was right in the middle of them.


Did you notice there is a "boy" next to Britt in both pictures!!!
