Not much new

Spending time together
Linds just lookin cute

Mikey trying to be a "man"

Not much new and exciting is happening around here. I had taken some pictures on monday for FHE ehow missing in action. Mikey wanted to make treats and take them to neighbors so we made Valentine rice krispy treats. He decided that him and Lindsey needed to put on costumes to go they looked so cute as a Dinosaur and a bee. Mikey has been real into Dino's again lately and has worn his costume all over. Tuesday he and linds came with me to clean out the nursery cupboard. He of course had to wear the costume. Several people told me how cute he was walking to Peg's in it. (Peggy is also in the nursery and came to help and then Mikey went home with her for awhile.)

Tribute to a wonderful Women...

Mom and Lindsey

Mom as a young girl.

Happy Birthday mom. Today is my Mom's birthday. I just wanted to take a moment and write some of my thoughts about her. It is hard for me to know where to start so i will start with a poem I wrote for her about 10 years ago. It is cheesy but that is what you get from me.

Friend

There are so many things I could add to that list. She is the one I call when I have good news or bad. When I need applause or an answer. There are not many people I know that are up to the task of raising 8 kids but my mom did it and she did it well. I hope I can be as good a mom to my kids as she was to me. She never missed a performance of mine. Every night every assembly every silly in class performance she was there cheering me on. During rehearsal she would bring me food. She would stay up late at night to chat and to comfort us. She was and is one of my best friends. I was one of the few kids in high school he had a friendship with their mother. I was a hard kid to raise but my mom was up for the fight. When she didn't have an answer she would go to the Lord and she helped teach us to do the same. There was many a time that she would tell me to pray and to make my own descission. Even now she is there for me guiding the way. What would I do wiothout my mom. She is one of the most giving poeple I know. Mom I love you. Thanks for making me feel important and knowing how to put up with me. Thanks for teaching me the gospel and loving me. My mom was loved by all my friends and if she wasn' starting snowball/water fights you can bet she was finishing them. I love you mom, Happy Birthday.

I think it would be great if anyone out there wanted to leave comments for my mom to do that here at my site since she doesn't have her own and since she will read this she will know to check them.

This is probably dumb to post but I can't get ahold of any of my cheerleaders right now so I am telling all of you. I just put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear in six years. WAHOOO!!!!!!!

Since I am here I will update a little.
Lindsey is walking. she is still shaky but she loves it. Mikey is still a big helper and a great big bro.

More to come... I promise.

Old Pics

Found these old pictures and they were SOOOO cute that I just had to post them. Enjoy!!!!

Snowed in

Well I was really starting to think that Canada " the great white north " was a myth or a lie they told people to keep them away or maybe a folk story made up to keep the kiddies in awe. But it has happened my first real live Canadian blizzard. Where not even the plows dare to go at first. The last few days have been "interesting" We have had about 3 feet of snow but it is driftingso there is no way to tell how much we have really gotten. Th last two days my hubby had to remove about a foot or so of snow to open the screen. My front door is up the stairs so that is quite a sight. Well I most definately have cabin fever. But don't worry I have only slightly lost my mind. Mad mad crazy mad... angry mad, no crazy mad. bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh......

Here is some proof of the genius that has come of my madness I call it the Canadian hands free device. (Well the above pictures were supposed to go here but I can't figure out how so just scroll up and enjoy the beauty of my madness once again.)

You are now wondering where one finds such a lovely head accesory and I cannot tell you. This one was found in my basement yesterday when we chose to spend are snow day cleaning up. It was Mike's in his younger years. But we are getting rid of it so if you desire to own it let me know.

Signing off -Kate!!!! Mwahahahahaahhaaaaa.
