Here are a whole bunch of pictures of my sweet, beautiful niece Chloe Margaret=0) She was born at 9:29am on September 2nd, 2010 weighing 9lbs 2oz. Here Chloe is having her first bath! She didn't care for it at first, but then didn't mind it.

Cell phone pictures=o)

I have had these pictures on my cell phone for ages, but when I brot my computer in to get it fixed, they took off my application to download my phone pics, so I just never tried it. I did try it last nite to see how it would go. So far so good=o)
Catching Seth off guard!

This is last year at the end of summer when Squeakers was sick and I had to take him to the vet. Seth got to come with me and found this little dog face and tried it on.
Pretty cute, eh?
We had pizza at Jenn and Paul's one nite. I think it was just after they moved into their new house last year. I had the boys and brot them home and the rest of the family was still helping unpack and set a few things up. Then we all took a break for pizza. Ethan wanted to eat his pizza by Uncle Jay=0)
Ethan 'roaring' like a dinosaur, or tiger=o)
Sorry, this is the same pic as above, but for some reason it wouldn't delete, so you get to see it twice=o)
Seth and one of his many creations with legos. He has an amazing imagination and can build anything he wants really. It's quite fascinating to see what he comes up with each time=0)
Shopping at Walmart. Seth is wearing his shirt that he got for being Jamie and Katie's ring bearer.
Ethan wanting to touch every single box of cereal. Auntie Sue is way up ahead shopping for her own things.
Summer time fun! This was from summer '09.
We spiked Ethan's hair after he got out of the pool. He was a little bit grumpy.
So we called him 'grumpy bear'=o) Now every time he looks at the pics on my cell, he sees this and I asked him who that is and he says, "Grumpy bear"=o)
Seth who was happy when I did his hair like this!
We thot he looked like Mr. Brian from church;o)
Seth wearing a pair of 3D glasses from a movie Jenn and Paul went to see. He needed these on the whole time we were there because he just couldn't see without them;o)
Ethan showing off his helmet and gum
I had to laugh when Seth put this hat on. It was a bit snug on him, but he wore it and laughed about it too!
I brot Squeakers over to run around free in Jenn and Paul's backyard. Ethan just loved playing with him!
Sweet Ethan=o)
Seth the snake;o) This was just after his two bottom front teeth fell out. He creeped me out when he kept sticking his tongue thru, so I thot I'd take a picture=o)
Ethan on his 3rd birthday, holding the present from Pani and I. Altho, since Jamie and Katie's wedding, he has continued to call Pani 'Auntie Pani' instead of Mr. Pani. At least Pani doesn't mind;o)
My very handsome nephews!!!
Uncle Jay and Ethan being silly! Fun times for sure whenever you have Jamie at a party=0)
My very pregnant sister, Jennifer, a day before her due date=o) Sorry if you don't like this picture Jennifer, but it's the only one I have of you rite near the end and I think you look absolutely amazing! And I took this when she wasn't paying attention. But you do look fabulous Jenn! I can't wait to meet my niece=0) Unfortunately she is now 4 days overdue, so we are all anxiously awaiting her arrival!!! Come on sweet baby girl=O)
Seth being all tough being an army guy and Ethan holding his hockey stick as a gun.
If you really don't like this picture Jennifer, I'm really sorry, but this one won't delete either. But I love this picture. You have the perfect, round belly!
I had Seth and Ethan over this past Friday til Saturday. We went out for supper, then had snacks and a movie at my place. We were outside with Squeakers and the boys saw all the lites from the Iron Horse Festival. They really wanted to go, so I told them that we would probably walk over there the next day. The rides were literally rite across my front yard. Thankfully, you couldn't hear the music and noise in my bedroom. Now, I had still never been to the Iron Horse Festival. I went 9 years ago with my cousin, his blind date(who is now his wife), my aunt and sister. It was when it was in what is now VanPelt's parking lot. We didn't even make it across the street before I fell on the side walk and broke my ankle. I didn't dare ever go again! But we went this past Saturday and had fun looking at all the things they had. Jennifer and Paul met us before and we all went together. Seth and Ethan got to go on one ride and they chose the train ride. They loved it!
Ethan having fun going around the track=o)
And this picture just makes me laugh! Ethan had a dirty diaper and Seth didn't like the smell, so he hid in my storage closet thing. The only problem was when Ethan opened the door and stood rite in front of him, Seth was kind of stuck;o) We had a blast Friday and Saturday! Thanks again for coming boys! Come again soon!

House pictures=0)

I forgot the bedroom pictures the first time I posted this, but here they are now. I have a very large bedroom WITH a real closet=0)
My book corner. Oh how I love my books! And I can display my childhood dolls too=o)
The closet is on the left and it even has storage shelves on the top, so I was able to hide a lot of things. The room is even bigger than my last one!
I've been told by a few people that I've been slacking on my blog and that it's not Christmas anymore. So, here is an updated post=0)
I moved the beginning of the month=o) I seem to be making a yearly thing about this, but hopefully this is it til I move out west! Here are some pictures of my new place. Enjoy!
The above picture is me standing on my landing and that is the stairs going down. My one and only way to get into my place.

Here is my landing. It's a really nice size. I have made the biggest area the kids toy room. The cabinet on the rite is my towels and movies storage. Seth really loves my little door/window=o) He thinks it's pretty cool.
The toy room plus the dog's pillow that he sleeps on when he gets too chilly in the living room.
My fabulous kitchen=0) I am so excited to have a separate kitchen this time. It's the first time since I've lived at home years ago. I have always had a kitchen/living room combined, so this is a nice change.
I love how my fridge is nicely put in the cubbyhole. It definitely saves room in my kitchen.
The perfect corner for my table and chairs.
Another cool door/window=o) I love these! They remind me of little church doors.
And my lovely plans get some sunlight too=o) Two of them are from my sister Jennifer and Paul when I first moved to Ken and Belinda's granny flat. I'm impressed they have lasted this long and flourished. I guess I have more of a green thumb than my dear mother.
Another exciting feature is my bathroom. It is a normal sized bathroom with a tub/shower. I have actually had 3 baths so far in my tub. If you remember, my last place only had a shower in my bedroom closet. I'm not a girly girl who takes baths, but I am enjoying the occasional bath. It helps me relax for a bit. I don't last longer than 20-30 minutes, but it's still nice.
My beautiful living room=o) It was a royal pain to get the big couch up the stairs and into the living room. My dad and brother told me I can't move again and if I do, they are going to cut my couch in half because they aren't going to move it again! But I do love my couches! They are so comfy!
Seth and Ethan waiting patiently to come in and play the game Sorry.

This is my favorite corner. The gal that lived here before me left her tv and the fake plant. To me, this corner is cozy=o)
