One week into our lives of crazy busy but fun!!

Let's start off this crazy picture blog with what these to were up to this evening. Horse playing the house.....which for those of you know me, I don't like it to much in side the house. But I looked away this time. But before I did that I snapped a couple of pictures for you.

Daddy & Trinity
So after all of that....silly kids...including my hubby. This blog just has more pictures of this last week. We went a Fall Festival that I have wanted to go to for a long time, at least three years. Autumn is my favorite time of the year so doing this was on the top of my list for this last weekend. Although it was a bit warmer then I wanted it to be. But still we got what we wanted and that's all I can ask. Watching the smiles on the kids' face when picking out their pumpkins and all the ugly gourds (to use as decorations back home). The kids had a lot to say about them. Then looking at all the Apples on trees and already boxed up for us. Which is what we did. Like I said it was pretty warm. But before we did this family fun day on Green Bluff we had to get through the morning of getting 3 girls ready for Cheering and then pictures so there are some of those pics on here as well. And of course there are pics of schooling, science was the big picture taking subject this week. And having our Art class out side was fun too. Then a couple of pics of the boys doing some of the chores. I hope you enjoy the pictures of our family and what we did this last week and pretty much everyday!!

Started filling up the wagon that Zachie and Sierra fought over almost all day long.

Our wagon in the beginning, before all the pumpkins and gourds and two huge boxes of nice Crisp Apples.....yummy. My first Apple Pie and Apple Crisp is on its way.

Zachie had a hard time finding his perfect pumpkin, I honestly think he just wanted to touch each and everyone of them. But at least daddy wasn't far behind to help him out.

Sierra big ol' one. Good job girl on carrying all by yourself to the wagon.'s

Savannah trying to find the biggest pumpkin she could. It's a unwritten rule in our family that the bigger the better.

Sierra (close), Savannah (middle) & Trinity (lastly) on the wagon ride before taking off.

Daddy and Zachie hanging on before we take off. By the way it was in the mid 80's when we went on this Fall Festival trip, we didn't think it was going to be this hot......we were all wiped out when it was done.

Tristian picked the last seat on the Wagon ride which meant it was the bumpiest....hang on son!!

and Zachary is wondering what he is suppose to do and what can he get into while the girls do their foo foo stuff......come on already aren't we done yet?!!

Sierra just before warm ups.....it was still a bit chilly out this morning....brrrr

Savannah being silly any chance she can get!

Here is the whole cheer squad the Sr's and Jr's Cheerios

10/10
Sierra all about her when the camera is on. She loves cheering and I can see it in her future for next year too.

Trinity the Captain her first year and has done a great job for starters.

Savannah during her Cheer pics this last weekend. My pretty girl who has been sick a lot this year but that hasn't slown her down one bit.

Socks is really really really wanting to go outside with the big cats. So since he can't because I won't let him or his brother Ozzy out he just hangs on the

screen door and dreams.......

Laundry day is never fun and I am kind of embarrassed to show this pic but yes this is our piles and baskets and how we get it done. Thank you boys for all the help.

You did great!!!

Zachie doing his chores for that day. He loves these animals, a matter of fact we were driving in town and he saw 2 different cats walking down the road and he wanted so badly to have daddy stop and pick them up too...."oh no Zachie they have a family here," daddy says.

Trinity & Sierra had Science today and it was all about mass and matter for the little one. And then using a microscope to see things that way. Well to say the least, Dad loves that kind of stuff so that lesson took a bit longer so everyone could look through and find things. We ended up moving that outside as well. The weather has been perfect for schooling outside so we had to take advantage of that while we can.

Sierra and her scale





and here is the boys....one helping the other one....until he begins to stare off into space.

It was a beautiful day out so we decided to do our Art project outside in our front yard. They all love finger painting.

A week in pictures this time around

This week as been full very full. With school, doctors appointments for Savannah and scheduling Dave's surgery, Tristians' date, and then the girls were suppose to be in their first parade but ended up missing because we were stuck in Post Falls all day long. Since last weeks post had no pictures I thought I'd give you all a few extra this time.

Here is Savannah playing with some games while waiting for her procedure at Children's Hospital in Spokane.

It was a long wait that morning. But all in all it she did really really good at what they asked of her. She is such a good kid even going through all of this stuff this year with being so sick.

The joys of living in the country where they still burn their fields when harvest is over.

We had fields burning on three sides of us. It was kind of cool to see for the first time. At least my neighbors called and let us know so we could close up all the windows in our house and truck.
Zachie is working a lot in his school book, just as much practically as the older kids. And Savannah our little teacher loves to help him through it.

and Sierra laying on our bed doing her math for the day. They tend to spend out when doing their book work to find some quite space...where ever that may be.

As for the older two Yes they are doing school too. They are just usually done earlier so I don't get pictures of them as much. I am usually cleaning up the house while they are schooling. This next week I will get some more pics of them.

Sierra and Zachie decided to plant their own flower garden behind our house this week. And Sierra had to be the photographer while Zachie posed. Here are a few of them.

and then there are our crazy cats. This one is Worley (one of the two brothers we found in a field by the pond where we fish). He loves to stick out his tongue and it is the funniest thing ever. Silly cat!!

this big kitty on the left is our newest addition. His name is Rez. When Dave, Tristian and I went to go to Cda to shop for his clothes for this weekend we stopped off at the regular smoke shop that Dave always stops at and as soon as he opened the door of the burb, kitty was there and then jumped into the burb before Dave could even get out. We thought ok we'll see how he does in the truck going to Cda and then drop him back off where we found him. He laid in Tristians lap the entire time and when we would get out and go into stores he just laid there, never once did he try to leave or want out. So we brought him and he has made himself at home along with all the other cats/kittens. It's kind of funny because he looks just like my sisters cat that we have for her but she is mean and crabby and he is a lover.

*note there was nobody or house around where we thought the kitty cat came from, there are a ton of abandon cats and dogs all over this rez*

and Mr Socks is enjoying a peach, this little guy is daddy's.

and then there's Ozzy who can not leave my computer alone. He has played with the screen and the mouse on it every since we got those two brothers when they were 3-4 weeks old.

Goodnight Oz

Here is Tristian and Morgan on their first date. Which was suppose to be her homecoming dance but long story short he couldn't go because of her "so called friend" causing a problem with the school because he's in 8th and she's in 9th.

Out on the boardwalk in Coeur d'Alene, then off to dinner and a movie while the moms went and found something to do to pass the time.

and last was our newly discovered Raccoon family that lives behind our house. They are so cute but dang there nasty animals. We got pics of three young ones but Dave has seen up to five in the tree.

It was kind of creepy seeing these at night like this. I thought they were going to jump out at me.....LOL Thankfully they didn't or they would be dead.
