It is October now. I have a ton to update. My computer is working ok, not the greatest, but at least I can get on here. I lost some pictures, but at least I had them all on here, so I could save them. Thank God!! I am glad for that! I will be working today and tomorrow and hopefully have a full update on our lives here in Garrison. :)
My laptop probably has a virus again. I am so sad about it. Mark has been so busy with the yard and all, I am not sure when he will get time to work on it again. I am sad, but I am not bugging him to fix it. He is busy right now.
Not much new going on, we were going to go to the pumpkin patch today, but again, Mark has stuff to do around the yard, so we aren't going. I am sad about it, today is so nice, but I can't complain, we are getting our yard done. I am going to try to get some pictures today, and hopefully put them up, can't promise though. I have trouble on my desk top getting pictures up, but I will try. And that is another thing, I am unsure again, if I will be able to get my pictures off of my lap top. I even bought a portable hard drive to be able to take off all of my pics to put on there, and I never did. Mark and I talked about doing an online backup system, but of course we never did. I guess I didn't learn my lesson hard enough last time to do all those things badly enough. I guess right now I am not worried about it, I really hope we can save my computer this time, I am so frustrated from it, but it is my fault.
So, say a prayer that my pics are saved, and that my computer gets fixed sooner than later, and that it doesn't snow too soon. :)
This is where her the bee stung her. You can see the welt on her arm. Thankfully she didn't swell up too bad. She cried right away, but then was fine.
Here he is with is new found joy!! :)
And playing. He really loves it! And again, me not so much.I have been feeling so awful lately. My allergies have been really bad. I take Zyrtec daily, but I am starting to think that it isn't working. I took 2 benedryl last night in hopes to fall asleep and get some relief, but it did the opposite. I was wide awake and so uncomfortable. I am soooo tired today. And of course when I started to calm down around 3:30 last night, then I heard thunder. OF COURSE! So we ended up with one kid in the room, and with me and hardly any sleep. Thank God I only have little ones here, so I hopefully can get in a little nap when all the kids nap. Even a short nap will help. I know I will be going to bed early tonight, and maybe I will take some Nyquil, and maybe get some rest. One can only hope.
I have some more posts to make, so I might take some time and do that today, if I am feeling better. I am so thankful that the boys are in school, no fighting and arguing right now. And that makes me really glad. :)
Jake posing by his cake, he had 7 candles on it, and I took 2 out, and he knew it! He will not let me keep him little!! I guess I have no choice but to let him grow.
Jake ready to open up his presents from Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Dave. We also got him one little thing to open up too.
And of course he got some money!! That is the best!!!
Grandma and Grandpa got him a nice batman shirt and some jeans! He really needed them! Dad and I got him a batman movie, which turned out to be SO DUMB! But he loved it that is all that mattered!
The Batman Movie! We ended up watching it in French for a while. The boys didn't figure it out for a long time! It was hilarious!! ;)
Then on his actual birthday we got him some Lego City legos! He has the ocean rescue ones. He has the whole set now too. He was excited to get it! I got them off of ebay, so I ended up not spending as much as I would have had I bought them in the store. He loves to build things with his legos!
Opening up the big set. I love there expressions! Alyssah is just as excited as Jake is!!
Josh and Jake looking at the whole set! Josh loves to help him build it, so it was fun for him too.
This is a really nice picture of Jake! He usually has a very cheesy smile, and it doesn't always work out for him! But this was a really nice smile!
Still excited and looking over the new toys!
Posing by the door like the big kids do.
So pretty! I can't believe she is old enough to go to school!!
Her posing with her pretty dress!
She had to make a place mat for school, she wanted princess stickers all over it. She is so proud of her place mat!
Alyssah is walking into school and proud and confident. I am nervous and hoping I don't cry, sending my baby to school for the first time! She loves her princess "pack-pack" that is too big for her, but she is so proud that she has it. She even has a princess folder in it.
Standing by her coat hook. She was excited to go into class!
She walked right in, and went right to the doll house they have there. I told her I wanted a picture and she produced this cute cheese for me! Then I told her I was going to go, and I will be back to pick her up. She said "Bye Mom!" And gave me a kiss and then went back and played. So easy!! I was a little worried that she would cry since she hasn't been away from me much, but she did just fine!! I am so glad she did, it would have been really hard on me. And as for me, I didn't cry, I had tears in my eyes, but I was fine. I came home and counted the minutes until I could go get her! She was excited to see me. Her teacher's helper came and told me that she cried when they went out to the playground, they all had to line up and she didn't want to, so she started crying. They said she asked for me, and then pretty soon she went off and played. I was happy to hear that she didn't cry for long. She told me later that she just wanted to play "at the park" and they said no. I am sure she looked at them when they told her she had to line up first like "how could you tell the princess no?" To cute! I am glad she had a good first day! And since then, she has had all good days, and she LOVES to ride the bus!!
Jake, Mark, Josh and Isaac (Josh's friend) This was Saturday. On Sunday they caught 6 more too. We have enough for 3-4 meals!
Josh with his catch of the day! Way to go Josh!!
Isaac, and his fish, he didn't want to hold it.
All the fish
Josh and Jake the next day, with there catch. They were so excited to get these. I am glad they finally got some. The lake has been up and people are finally starting to catch some fish!
They posed by the front door, they did this last year too. I think that I will have them do this from now on! :)
Jake in front of his first grade room. His teachers name is Mrs. Finammin.
Josh in front of his 4th grade door. He was embarrassed for me to take his picture this year. He was telling me to hurry up and that I can't take one of him in his class. To funny! I guess he is growing up! Josh's teacher is Mrs. Gerhing.
He isn't ashamed that it is pink!! haha!
Side view
We call these two, Shaggy and Spike
He was bummed to get it cut, but with school starting, we had too. I kinda miss the mohawk, so maybe we will do it again next summer.
Not sure what is going on, but my blog is retarded right now. Anyways...
These 2 pictures, show the HUGE line to the fair grounds. We waited 1 hour and 40 minutes to go 3 miles. Did we think it was worth it? Well the kids sure did!
More lines, we waited for about 30 minutes to get into the fair grounds. And it was hot out. 
Kids on the tractor, they loved being able to go in one, they have never been in one. And who needs a double stroller when 2 cuties can sit in one! HAHA! They were so cute, and they didn't mind being in it either!
All the cousins, Viktoria, David, Josh, Alyssah, Jacob, and Alek. They were getting hot, and wanted to into the bunny barn. Steph and Brian, so cute!
Alyssah and David riding a cute ride, they loved it!!
Of course the best part of the fair is the food!! We all got something completely different, and we waited in line again, but for the food it was worth it!! Mark got a huge turkey leg, and it was so good! We also got some fried oreo cookies, and a fried twinkie too. They were really good!
Josh and Viktoria they were excited to go on a big kid ride right after we ate.
Alek and Jake. They are such cute buds!!
David was mad, so we told Alyssah to show her mad face too, and she did!! She wasn't mad here, right after wards, she was giggling!
Josh and Viktoria in line to ride the big ride!
The swing ride! Josh was nervous! They had plans to ride together, but it didn't happen. Josh told me that right when it started, he wanted to get off, but then he ended up loving it!
Josh waving, when the ride was all over! He loved it!
Viktoria at the end too. She wasn't nervous at all.
And on the way home, Jake passed out, he looked soooooo cute here! And tired!!
Alyssah fell asleep too, with her sunglasses on. She is so funny!!
