So we finally broke down and got fans for the house. We got 3. 1 for the loft ,1 for the living room and 1 for our bedroom. George installed all of them and did a great job for it being his first time installing a fan :)

This fan is in the living room. We have and angled 25 ft ceiling so we had to drop the fan about 4 feet so it would keep us cool.

Spring break

Another Daddy daughter dance. The city we live in Schertz threw a daddy daughter dance at the civic center, so of course the dad nad the daughter went. talia had so much fun. The theme was candyland. She danced and played with baloons and ate sweets. It was a perfect night untill she lost the flower on her dress. She noticed it was gone and told Larsen, they looked for it and couldn't find it, She ten told him she needed to leave right then. As soon as they got outside she started balling she cried all the way home she was so upset. At least she had some fun.

2011-03-19T17:13:00.006-08:00

The sprinkler pics were taken back in february on presidents day. It got to 85 outside so we let them play in the sprinkler. The project is mini air hockey table that Talia and Larsen wanted to build. She had so much fun making it and using all the power tools. I laughed at her cause she hides and cries when the vacuum comes near her, but she ready and willing to user a power drill. silly girl. The boys spent most of the time sitting in the land cruiser pretending to drive it! And fighting over who gets when they grow up. Nerds!

It is a reusable rocket so we can by more charges for it and launch it again. so that is the plan. In the spring the boys plan to do this again. I however am not holding my breath, it took 3 years to launch this one, so a relaunch could take a while! Oh sorry no pictures of the auctual take off I was trying to take pictures and take video of the event.

2009-09-11T10:54:00.004-08:00

For Ever's 8th birthday w he wanted to go camping and it worked out well that his birthday was over labor day weekend.. So a camping we went. Now you all know me and know i don't camp so it was an experiance. we did a little hiking along the river. It was a very cold fast moving glacier fed river so we did not go in it. But we had fun hiking around it and watching the kyakers race down it. It was so very cold at night and got colder when Ever tossed his cookies in his sleeping back and in the tent while sleeping. So we lost a sleeping bag and some clothes cause thats all we had to clean up with. So Ever then had to sleep with me wich was not very comfortable. So we were up at 6 am the next morning and packed and gone and home by 9 am.
Very busy day! Maybe camping will be better in texas?

They also were pretending to take their med board exams. Anyway Keyser and Cedric made a model of the digestive track out of clay, paper towel rolls and pink tape. They did such a great job. They even have it set p so the person can eat ( kind of) they take the head off the guy (paper towel roll) and drop clay food down it ( esophagus) and it lands in his stomach. It was too cute listening to Keyser Explain this whole process to the class. Any way i'm just really proud of all the work he has done for this project.

Talia's birthday was on the 7th. She is 5 now!!! She had a great day. Cinnimon rolls made to look like jack o lanterns for breakfast, Ham and cheese wraps for lunch and a fabulous day at preschool. Then when the brothers got home from school we all headed off to Build a Bear. Talia got an orange cat with pumpkins on it and dressed her up like princess aurora. The boys each got a costume for there bears at home. Then back home we went for a Mac and Cheese dinner and the present hunt. The birthday fairy hides all the presents and leaves clues to find them. It's really fun. And just our luck Talia's favorite princess is Princess Aurora and Sleeping Beauty came out on her birthday. She got a ton of fun stuff the big gift was her very own Nintendo DS and Build a Bear game. Lucky Girl. Then we had a delicious chocolate cake with princess on it and soon after it was bed time. Long day but a fun day!!

We spent the first weekend in october decorating the house inside and out for halloween. It was fun for te most part. The indoor stuff was fun the out door stuff was cold. we didn't even get to put out all the decorations cause our hands were frozen. we are hoping to get them put up this weekend. We also had out first snow fall this past monday. not to much snow just enough to make it icy.

Last Friday after our weekly family swim at the base pool. (we now have 2 other familys that go with us ) We decided to have a little bon fire in our neighbors driveway. It was fun we made popcorn and drank hot chocolate and told scary stories. We are hoping to have at least 1 more fire before the waether gets to cold.

Talia's First day of preschool

2008-09-06T19:33:00.002-08:00

Talia was so excited to be going to school. She was getting a little frustrated that brothers got to go and not her. She only goes Tuesday and Thursday afternoons but it gives mom a little time and her a little socialization.

2008-08-20T13:13:00.003-08:00

Well another year has started. We are all very excited!! Keyser started 3rd grade and Ever started 1st grade. They were a little nervous but seemed to settel in just fine. I can't wait for them to get home so i can hear all about their day.

surgery

2008-08-01T19:28:00.004-08:00

Keyser and Talia had their tonsils and adnoids out today. Oh boy was that fun. We were at the hospital at 6:30 am and they went back for surgery at 8:10 Talia first and Keyser last they did really good. Talia fought a little when she was waking up but they let me crawl in to bed with her and help calm her down after about 10 or min. she was eating ice cream in recovery. About 30 min later Keyser was rolled in. George was wating for Keyser to get of surgery while I stayed with Talia. It was too cute one of the first things that they each said was I want my Keyser or I want my Talia. we were home at about 11 am and we layed down to take a nap and sleept untill 3 pm. A Friend of ours was nice enough to let Ever stay the night at her place so that we would not have to wake him up and take him to the hospital with us. He came home shortly after us and was nice enough to play a kindergarten computer game so that we could all sleep.

Scout camp

2008-07-27T20:21:00.001-08:00

They had a blast at camp and did so much too. It rained the whole time but it was still fun for both of them. But they were both very excited to get home and to be dry.

leaving for scout camp

2008-07-21T18:05:00.002-08:00

Ok I am a total NERD. I have an insane need to document every moment of well everything. so here is the first installment of many scout camp pictures. Keyser and George left for camp today and I am bumed i have never been away from Keyser for more that 2 days and here he is growing up and leaving me for 4 and 1/2 days. I am so glad that george was able to go with him. It was a very tearfull good buy Ever and Talia were so sad and crying it was more heartbreaking to watch them than Keyser leaving me. Both ever and Talia keept huging Keyser telling him they would miss him soooo much. They huged dad too but they cryed more about missing Keyser than anything. Anyway hope you enjoy the pictures of them leaving for camp

Keyser playing ball!!

2008-05-16T09:25:00.002-08:00

Keyser did great at his second game last night. He got a hit and got to first. The pic of him running is from 1st to 2nd base he made it all the way home. He played short stop and 1st base at this game. Baseball in Alaska is cold the temp was 55 but with the wind chill it was about 40 so a lot of the kids wear jackets. Almost all the parents are wrapped up in blankets wearing hats and gloves. It's fun though.

2008-05-15T09:31:00.003-08:00

Family fun night! We had a family talent show. Talia wanted to sing the 5 little speckled frogs song. Keyser sang a song about bugs that he wrote. and Ever did a little magic show. It was a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again soon.
