Fun and Family

Handsome little nephew!

AAUUHHRR...Stay away from my treasure!

Isn't there anything for a baby to eat around here?

Hot Wheels!

Cool!

Here's pictures from Jon and Lisa's visit with us. Is that a mattress in the back ground? Why, yes, it is. Why is it standing in the living room, you ask? We bought a new mattress (finally) with our tax return, and the driveway is so icy that we can't even walk, let alone carry a king sized mattress out to a truck. So there it sits until spring, or at least until a thaw.

Anyway, we threw a pirate birthday party for Ian, who turned five. It was neat to celebrate with cousins. I made a pirate cake for him complete with Jack Sparrow and some treaure. The boys had inflatable swords, so I recorded them having a grand old time with those. There's also a pict of Ian watching Clifford while I was getting the older kids going on their schoolwork. And pictures of him getting in the sled at the top of the hill. Mikayla is holding Colin who is about five months old now, and there is one of his Papa holding him, too. Lanie is trying to hold him in another picture. He is a big, heavy baby. We had a great time, but their visit was way to short. We can only hope that they come back soon, or that we get to take a trip to see them.
