Well installed live writer again on my pc so I can update this blog :)
I have really been mostly updating Facebook :( I just need to get Mom and Lynne on it then I am set now that they both have high speed links. 
Here are a few pictures from Easter! I will do more as I can…
We went up to the snow yesterday. There is a place called sno-park up the 80 that is about 3.5 hours away. It was closed so we had to go a bit further to a place that is just a service station with so hills on it’s land. The kids had a great time sleding and throwing snow balls. It was a alternately snow sleet and rain, but they still had fun playing.
Well we are still working through the aftermath of Christmas, trying to keep the house clean trying to keep toy’s mostly picked up… Riding bikes, playing with new toys etc.
It has been a lot of fun this Christmas, We went to John’s up in the city for Christmas Eve dinner always an interesting menu… Duck burrito’s, jalapeno cornbread, ham, asparagus, and some great mashed potato’s that I didn’t get enough of
Here are a few pictures from that night.
Then Christmas morning was great Brandon’s big present was a new bike from Santa and Julia got a barn to play with all of her animals, Melanie got a few new sweaters from Santa and I got a new t-shirt (GI Joe ). The kids had a very fun time handing out presents finding their name to open presents it was fun all around.
Then we went to Pat & Steve’s house to visit and say Merry Christmas the kids got some really nice puzzles and we got a free night of baby sitting worth gold
Christmas night we went to Lynne and Tim’s for another great meal and presents! We all had a lot of fun visiting and the kids made out like bandits with clothes and some toys… They really liked their “Emergency Jello Kit”
Here is a link to all the pictures above… At least most of them I think. If the link doesn’t work, send me an e-mail and I will get it shared with you.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and heading into a happy new year!
We took the kids down to see Santa tonight, they had a good time telling him what they “needed”. Seems like a pretty good time to do it (4pm on Tuesday), no crowds and we got a few things done.
We got a new tree from the city to replace the one that the storm blew down earlier.
It is a Chinese Pistache
It is getting close to christmas so we are getting some lights up. I need to pull out some more lights but this is a good start.
Then today I also went to a tree class and got a free tree to replace the one that blew over in the storm.
A couple of pictures below to show any progress.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We are heading to Nina’s soon for eating and visiting. Then Friday we are going to Winsor for a “Deane” family visit. That should be a lot of fun. Here is a picture of the kids. More later.
Kids had the day off so we went hiking up at Uvas park. Brandon had to go all the way to the top again (that is a tough hike) it gets pretty steep after half way.
Everyone had a lot of fun we also did a quick picnic with some dancing on the stage
The one picture with Julia and the shells was funny she made houses for all the ants.
We also saw a few deer and a 2 point buck.
Fun day all in all.
Very good picture. He has a little bruise on his nose because of a run in with a light fixture
Well another day another trip to the pumpkin patch. This time we went to get some of our own pumpkins.
