Happy Birthday to my sweet little 9 yr. old! What a treasure she is!

We gave her an 18" doll for her birthday. She really loves it and has changed the doll's clothes and hairstyle many times already.

YEP these are my little boys having a "tea party". Water with a fair amount of sugar added to each little cup. Good times!

This is our annual "cook dinner in the park" evening. It was quite cold but we got a nice fire going and it turned out well.

We had a fun little party in the backyard for some of Simon's friends. Here they are playing "hot potato".

Happy 6th birthday Simon!

This is a picture of Collin after he crashed on his bike. Notice the hole in the shirt!

This is at the cemetery for the burial of Grandma Bingham. These are Thayne's 6 brothers...they look a lot a like! Jens, Eli, Thayne, Clifton, Phillip, Benjamin, Phillip.

Ok, it's been over a month since I posted anything. I'm still alive! I just need Thayne to help me because my computer virus system won't let me download my pictures. He has been so busy getting into school but he loves it and will finish up his first class tomorrow night. Then we will be on to 4 nights a week at school for the next 4 weeks. Hope we survive! I am so glad that canning is over for another year. It's nice to see all the fruit on the shelves downstairs. The kids are really enjoying school...especially Simon. He gets pretty bored in the afternoons when everyone is either napping or still at school. We try to play games or read but sometimes we just need quiet time. It has been really cold; it snowed a little bit yesterday. I hope we get one more warm up before it gets super cold.
