A Day at Middle Saranac with Friends

Silas sleeping!!

Caleb and Mya sharing a pine cone they both wanted to eat it.

Jesse, Levi, Noelle, and Madison playing really well together they built a ton of things but I think this is a home for the clams.

Noelle, Madison, Jesse, and Noah.

Noelle and Madison

We had a great day with Annette, Jesse, Mya, Hannah, Noah, Levi, and Silas (whom slept most of the day away what a life). Levi and Madison hung out playing together will Jesse took a nap. Caleb and Mya played when they weren't napping and Noah found some kids on the beach to play with that were his age. And we all enjoyed the water because it was HOT.

Camping at Meacham Lake

This was quiet the experience, we were suppose to go as a family but it ended up being me with the kids and Nate for Breakfast and sleeping in the day. Let's just say we are going to be camping in our yard for a couple of years now. The kids did like have their baths in red bucket on the picnic table.

Paw paw and Nana came for a quick visit!!

They took us to Shelburn Farms (and the infamous pig was there) of course and to the beach, we also played a ton in the pool at their hotel. Madison had her first sleep over with Nana and Paw paw, she had a ball and got to go to breakfast the next morning with them too.

Strawberries

With all our loot.

The kids and myself went and picked strawberries 3 times so far. We went as a family. The next time the kids and I went with the Adragna's and Batt's then the family just went with the Lober's and Erin and Ian. We made 8 batches of Freezer Jam---can you say yummm . I have never picked strawberries and I have never made freezer jam both fun and I think it turned out alright. Each time Noelle and Caleb would be covered in strawberry juice.

Father like Son

This was just to cute to pass up!!!

Friends

To Shelburn Farms with friends for the day. We now have a family membership to the farm so went with Anette, Jesse, and Mya and we had a blast---thankfully it was sunny with no rain or cold. By the time we got there it was time to eat lunch. So we decided to site down a few feet from where all the chickens were because Jesse and Noelle were having a grand time petting the chickens and we could get to them if something happened. So this one hen (the one Caleb is trying to get in the picture)was the culprit for are extremely funny lunch. We had to build a blockade so that we could protect our food and Madison does not like anything that is a pest, so she repeated over and over "cluck cluck go away" as she was standing from the jogger. Noelle did a dance the whole time because the hen kept snatching her sandwich if she stood still and I was just trying not to laugh. The kids get a long great and had a really nice day hiking up to the barn and then up the trail to over look the entire property. Everybody's favorite was seeing the big fat pregnant pig.--I must admit she was huge.

Almost 9 months

My little boo bear is no longer little. He is growing up way to fast and already doing big boy things. He is in a constant state of laughter at us or if he gets tickled, he is very curious with a constant state of motion and destruction. He is so strong he pulls himself up to a stand and furniture surfs, he also smiles at you with his 3 teeth. My precious little boy is getting way to big way toooooooooooo fast.

Days at the beach

Caleb!!!

Madison !!!


Noelle being herself.


Madison blowing bubbles.



Noelle the shovel hog.


The beach here, is a little sand on mirror lake and it is considered the local pool too in the summer, but almost better than a pool because you don't have to hold them the hole time. Madison really loves it she is getting the hang of blowing bubbles and kicking. Noelle just has a blast doing her own thing and after a while she is purple and says I AM COLD. Caleb loves sitting at the edge of the water and try's to eat all the sand on the beach.

Happy 4th of July

Now trying to tell a 3 year old you have to put all your stars in a row so that you can get all 50 on is near in possible this morning so hear it goes, at least we got 13 stripes on. She was very proud of her work and we only had to get the oxi clean on spot on her shirt. Craft time really stresses mom out I should have just stripped her necked to begin with.

Easter 09

We had a quiet Easter we went to church and then Nate had to work so the girls and I hung out.

Virgina Beach

The 3rd week of May we went to Virgina Beach where my entire family gathered. It was so much for to get to see my nephew and niece they are really growing up way to fast. Scott and Becky and ourselves traded each other a night in taking care of the kids and we each got to go out on the town for a night as couples. We celebrated Drew's Birthday he is now 7. Mom and our family went to the zoo one morning while the Dawson's stayed back on the beach and then we also went to a bouncy house warehouse full of houses there were probably 20 or more and Madison, Noelle, and even Caleb had a blast. Thanks mom and dad for such a fabulous family reunion.
