Kerstins Christams party at School

Kerstin and Hallie and their house kerstin and her house

Hallie being Hallie!!!!

Today was Kerstins party at school so Hallie I went in for a little bit to watch them build little ginger bread houses. It was neat to see all the kids different ideas for their houses. Of course Hallie danced and played till she saw there was candy. lol. Kerstin did a good job building hers. I feel sorry for the teachers after school there was alot of candy all over the floor. lol It is hard to believe that Christmas is only 5 days away. Sat night we have one Christmas with the Deatsman side then on Sunday we have one on Jasons side the Folk. On Christmas Eve we are with his side then on Christmas day we are with my side. If I don't get on here before Christmas I hope everyone has a Great Christmas

SNOW!!!!!

Hallies snow angel

who says you can't ride your bike in the snow!! Hallie trying to clean the driveway!!!

That is what Hallie said when she got up today. Over night we got about 2-4 inches. The schools closed so Kerstin was home. Well after lunch Kerstin went with aunt Lydia to wal-mart so I took Hallie out to play in the snow. She seemed to like it. She had to have her bike down so I got it down and made a little circle track so she could ride it. She played with a shovel in the driveway. Our little girls that lives next to us came out with her brother so Hallie played with them for awhile. She saw the boy do a snow angel so she did one it was cute. We had fun and it was not to bad out there. I am going to have to get some snow paints if I am going to be out any longer. I hope they have school Thursday.

Well today Kerstin and I went and ate with Santa at her school. (Jason was going to go but got up and did not feel very well). We meet up with my friend Tanya and her two kids Connor and Hallie Conner is in Kerstin class. There was alot of people there but we had fun. She got to see Santa and tell him what she wanted the we ate breakfast then we did a craft. She also got to go to Santa's store and buy something for mom and dad all by herself ( there were older kids in there to help her)Then after we left there I brought Kerstin home and Mom , Hallie and me went to Ft. Wayne to order my bridesmaid dress for my sister wedding. That was fun getting measured. lol Trish meet us up there and mom went home with her because Hallie and I came home when I got done there.

Nice Surprise

Well I was on my way to get Kerstin from school on Monday and Jason called me. He asked me if we would like to meet him for lunch( little side note Jason hasn't asked to do lunch sense we were first married and when he did that he told me he got a speeding ticket lol). So I asked him what was wrong and he said nothing. So I picked up Kerstin and we meet him at Steak and Shack. We had a nice lunch besides the food coming so late. Kerstin was surprised to see her dad in the middle of the day. So here is a lesson for all the women out there If your husband calls you to meet for lunch it isn't always bad he just wants to see you. I love you Jason

Buddy likes her too he didn't even try to hurt her or anything. Hallie pics when well Sat also we got one good one and that is all I asked for.

Poor Kerstin

Well Kerstin woke up this morning said her ear hurt. So I called the doc first thing when they opened. They could see her at 1:30 so we went at that time and I took her temp before we left and it was 100. We go there and the doc said she has an ear infection so he gave her some med and she is now in her room I think asleep. Also in a couple of weeks she has to have two teeth pulled. So she is having a rough couple of days.

It was cute to watch and fun to do. This is the first time Hallie has flown a Kit she did pretty good. In the one pic the girls thought Jason could fly two at once. It went ok for a little bit then they flew together. Hallie wanted to walk towards the kit we kept telling her walk away from it.

She was not buy herself at age 1.(we don't mow with it we use it to clean the yard and when they are on it they are going turtle slow for those that don't know). Well we were outside this weekend and Hallie wanted to drive the mower around she did really well till I went to go film her driving but she looked cute doing it. Well today has been rainy and damp.

Today Jason and Kerstin are at a car show the last one I think for the season. Kerstin called a little bit ago and said it was a little cold. But she is dressed for it. I love this pic of the girls they love each other so much. I hope it stays like that when they get older.lol You should see our back yard it looks brown because all of the pine needles have fallen. They are always fun to pick up.

We Love Buddy

It is hard to belive that we have had buddy for little over 3 months now. We miss daisy but buddy has brought so much joy into our lives. If you are reading this our dog that Jason and I got shortly after we got married died the Sat before fathers day and that Monday we got buddy. Daisy was 8 to 9 years old. The girls love buddy he is good with them and he is doing good in is dog classes. Thank you to Craig and Tanya our friends for teaching them and doing such a good job. This pic I took last night Jason was laying on the floor and buddy was loving with him. He is an Airdale. We took him to the vet this week for a blown blood vesel in his eye. He is ok but we have to but drops in it 3 times a day. He weighs 73 lbs and he won't be 1 till Dec.

Hallie on her bike

Kerstin on her bike

BIKES

Well this week both the girls learned to ride their bikes. Kerstin could before but with the training wheels on. Hallie rides a little bike with training wheels on not far but in the driveway. Kerstin rides her with just one training wheel on. So it is a start we keep telling her that the other one will come off some time too. Her answer is I will just get a new one. She thinks that will fix it. lol Well not much is planed for the weekend. Jason is going to paint the garage and hopefull I can park back in there for a little bit before in takes the rest of his vac to paint the floor.

Today after it warms up we are going to start to primer the garage. Sometime it will be back together. The pic is of Kerstin giving Dad advice on how to do it the right way. Kerstin and Jason are two peas in a pod.

Jason took this week off so he could work on the garage. Kerstin came in today and said come look what we are doing so I went out and this is what I saw. All of them Kerstin, Hallie and Jason singing into screwdrivers it was so cute and funny. Then later on Hallie was doing it all by herself. Both my girls love to sing so maybe when they grow up they will become singers and make lots of money.lol It has been very nice today so I mowed the lawn it was long. By the middle of the week it is to be only 67 the is a little cold for me right now.

Don't they look so cute

Making pizza at unoseating their pizza they made

Dress shopping

Well today Kerstin and I went with aunt trish,grandma,Amber and Emma to look at dresses. We went to a couple of different places. Kerstin and Emma tried on a couple of dresses that they liked. They seemed to like all of them. Amber and I tried on a couple and wrote down what we like so at least we have an idea to start with. Trish is getting married May 24, 2008 After we went dress shopping we went and ate. The girls got to make their own pizza it looked like fun and even better it looked good.

Kerstin loves doing things with her aunts but she loves it when Emma is with aunt trish. Kerstin and Emma have been friends for a long time. After we ate Kerstin and I came home and I took Kertsin to the car show where jason is at Big R. There was alot of cars there I hope it does not rain.

After I dropped Kerstin off I went and got Hallie at grandma bledsoe then we came home. So it has been a busy weekend so far. Sunday afternoon we start a class with our friends Craig and Tanya Bale for our shock coller for buddy it will be fun.

Have a good day
