No need for words...sigh.....

Elyse's 5th birthday

Our birthday girl and her yearly roses from her daddy.

This year she got spoiled because she didn't just get her number in years in roses, this time she got a whole dozen!

Elyse makes me smile.

Her personality reminds us of the little mouse from "If you give a mouse a cookie"

She is a wonderful little girl and I am so thankful to the Lord for her.

I couldn't imagine life without her... especially with a house full of boys! =)

Beautiful...

I think everyone knows how much Elyse loves to chew gum...

She got at least 5 packets of gum!!!

She was very excited. I guess she has gum to last a lifetime!!! =) or at least till next week.=)

Girls' Tea Party at Kerry Roy's

Left to right...Marcail W., Anne H., Elyse, and Kerry.

Such perfect little girls!!!

Not!!!

I think I was 6 years old when I wore this dress.

I was a flower girl in my Uncle Victor and Aunt Margarita's wedding.

Jamye served them hot tea or hot chocolate with, pastries and quiches.

I think that the tea set was hers since she was 8 years old.

Very nicely decorated!!!

Made me wish I was a little girl again. =)

All the girls seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Hi everyone!

These are some very recent ones of our baby actually taken today.

Isn't he so precious!!! I know the mother crow came out in me!!! =)

Matthew is 6 weeks old already.

Told you he's adorable...

My men are actually working in my laundry room. They are trying to set up my new

front-loader washer and dryer!!!

Can you see the washer still in the box?

It better get ready for all the jeans it'll be washing! =)

Our Little Matthew

I took these a couple of weeks ago.

He really is so cute to take pictures of. Well... at least I think so.=)

I have some crazy ideas that don't always come out the way I wanted them exactly but, I still liked them.

I love this one!

Aren't these so cute?!!!

The rest of these pictures didn't really turn out,

He was making funny faces hanging from the tree! =)

Oh dear... back to school tomorrow!

The week before baby's arrival

Eric and the kids made a nice toasty fire in our back yard and the kids had so much fun making dinner out there. They reheated some potato soup, fried some bacon, made some biscuits in a dutch oven and had hot chocolate and marshmallows for dessert.

They tied three branches together with vines and then hung a kettle to heat water for the hot chocolate.

I didn't get a picture of the bacon that was hanging over the fire on this branch but, as you can see it is all greasy. That was mighty good bacon.

Of course what is a fire without any marshmallows! That was so much fun.

These are some pretty smoky, smelling kids who had so much fun on one autumn day in November!
