Thanksgiving Day=o)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I was able to spend most of the day with my family. The only ones not able to be there were Jamie and Katie. Jamie had to work and Katie spent the day with her side of the family. Seth had a blast playing sports with Gramma and Papa=o) They played hockey and baseball. Here the boys are just before the 'big' game.
Pop and Seth
Deciding who was going to be at bat first.
Looks like Pop won the coin toss;-) And Seth was the pitcher!
Gramma got the position of back catcher=0)
Good swing Pop!
Now Ma's the pitcher. Go ma!
Handsome little Seth.
Seth looks a little confused as to what his position is
Good stance Ma=0)
Getting ready to eat the big dinner! Yummy food!!
More yummy food!! Ma, you did a fabulous job on the meal, it was delicious! Thank you so much for everything=o)
Ethan ready to eat
Me and Shiloh. She is 6 months now and is getting bigger all the time. Such a fun, playful dog=0)
I love that she gives hugs! Way too cute.
Getting ready to go for a walk
Shiloh decided that the strap on my camera was a string to chew on. She wouldn't let go. Finally I had to pry open her mouth with my fingers.
So pretty!
Me and Shy again
Out for a family walk after our big dinner. Nothing like getting rid of that 'full' feeling quickly=o) Love Jennifer's new haircut. It looks fabulous from the back in this picture!
Susie and Shy
The front of the group this time=o)
The beautiful changes of the leaves. God is so good and certainly has blessed us with the beauty He has created!
I just love fall. It's my absolute favorite season!
Such pretty colors

Down a gully near Ma and Pop's place
I love the combination of the very red bush and this tree. Amazing!

Ma, Seth and I were ahead of the group chatting. Thanks for listening to me Ma=o)
Sweet little Ethan
Seth was chewing on a stick. Ethan is trying to look past me at something.
Love seeing Seth giggle. Nothing like being tickled to get a good smile out of someone=0) Ethan getting eager to be able to get out of his stroller!
Pointing, trying to beg me 'Auntie Dani, please take me out of here so I can run around'=o) Sorry peanut, but it didn't happen.
The 3 sisters=0) The last time we had our picture together was at Susie's Grade 8 graduation. It was time for an update!
Awww, look at the 2 cuties=0)
Papa giving his grandson a kiss before they left for the nite.
Bath time! After the walk, the boys had a bath to clean them up since they were outside for most of the afternoon. This way they could just go home and put the boys to bed.
Having fun together=0) I love my family!! Missed you Jamie and Katie!

Some of my older favorites=0)

Seth=0) He looks so young here! It's hard to believe he's already in school.
Having fun after his bath. He wrapped himself in the dirty shower curtain. Nothing like being nice and clean after a bath, eh?
Christmas last year at ma and pop's old house
Surprise=0)
Little Ethan last summer at the trailer=0)
Not too sure what to think of the hat.
What a cutie, don't you think? He's wearing a knitted hat and sweater made by Mrs. DeJong
I just had to post this one again. I had to crop it to show his happy, sweet, dirty face=0)

Medieval Times

These pictures are from about a year and a half ago. Belinda and I took Joshua and Micah to Medieval Times. We all had a blast, especially the boys! They thot it was super fun to eat supper with only our fingers. They really enjoyed watching the knights fight and the horses do their tricks. It was such a fun time for us all=0) It definitely brought back memories from Grade 8 when we went there for a class trip!
A guy from the opposite team
One of the guys from our team=0)
Josh and Micah with the new swords I bought for them
Pretending to be knights in shining armor=0)

The boys with the bird guy. They were able to pet the bird too. They thot that was pretty cool!
Another one of the guys from our team. Each guy was super nice!

Fun filled day of babysitting=0)

Josiah and Ethan ready for a walk to the park!
They had a lot of fun on the walk over to the park. They were laughing at each other and waving. It was quite funny to watch them interact=0)
Sweet Naddie asked me to take her picture on the rock=0) How do you say no to that, eh?
Josh came along to. He helped a lot by keeping an eye on Squeakers for me=0)

The little boys just after lunch. Can you tell? Aren't they so cute?
I don't know if Naddie was trying to get in the picture or hide from it, but I got her in=0)
What a cutie, eh? He had chocolate sprinkles on his bread, but decided that when he was done he would eat the crust from Naddie. Nads and Josiah had grilled cheese. Ethan had a blast dipping the crust in ketchup and then eating it! He wouldn't eat his own crust, but then again, doesn't someone else's food always look better than our own?

Last weekend at the trailer with the whole family this time=0)

The whole family was there this year for the one and only time of the summer, even both of the dogs=0) Maybe next year, my Pani will be in the picture too=o)

On Friday before I left, I babysat Josh, Naddie and Josiah. I put nailpolish on Naddie's toes and fingers. She loved it! She wanted pink on her fingers and purple on her toes. I asked her what color I should do my toes. She suggested one foot purple and the other foot pink. I thot I'd do a little better and do every other toe=0) Naddie thot that was pretty funny.
On the drive home, Squeakers was in the back seat, but continued to try to squeeze his way into the front with us. This is how he ended up at one point. He put his head on Susie's shoulder. I thot it was pretty cute=0)
Here you can see that he's taking a nap in this position. Couldn't have been too comfortable considering half his body was still on the back seat, but he just wanted to be near us=0)
My handsome nephew Seth who started his first day of Junior kindergarten today. I can't believe how quickly time flies!
Ethan wearing uncle Jay's sunglasses=0) A little too big yet, eh?
Here he is playing with Jamie. He kept pointing at his face. The next pictures will show just how much fun he had=0)
The start of a smile.
An all out laugh=0) What a cutie!!!
