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.

Can you say animal shelter?????

I feel we are turning into a animal shelter.....many of you know how we acquired 4 kittens within 2 days of each....2 we adopted because momma was killed and they were 3wks old...then the next day there were 2 kitties from a stray that lived in a field. Now today dad found a baby squirrel that had fell from a tree and momma was dead....so we are heating the baby on a heating pad and feeding it milk. It's eyes aren't even open and it barely moves, just a little at a time. And then here comes 2 of our daughters back from the park and our oldest has her shirt wrapped up.....with another kitten maybe about a week or so younger then what we have already.

Our new addition on the bottom of our other kitty and then our baby squirrel.
