Let's catch-up!

Well..they got out of order, but I will walk you through the pictures. I haven't been able to find the software for the camera, so I put all the pictures on a disk and i am taking them from there. I have posted a variety of pictures from a bunch of different events. The first pictures are of hunter testing for his white belt. He was very excited. He is posed with Grand Master Eric with his belt on and the board he broke. Did he think that was cool! Then there is a group picture. The kids wanted to go out and play and I bundled them up so they would stay warm. I think they did! I included a picture of our new truck. The car was having so many problems and Ryan wanted his family in a car that wouldn't brake down. I love it!! the kids were in a Christmas program at school and I got a few pictures. It was dark so they didn't turn out. There are a few shots from thanksgiving. Auntie Tracy was so sweet to cut Carter and Hunter's hair. Thanks a bunch again!! I love the picture of Hunter and Grandpa Delmonico. He just wanted to be with Grandpa Delmonico the whole time. We went to Adventure park the day after Thanksgiving and the kids had a blast playing there. The last pictures are of Hannah at her awards ceremony for "Terrific Kid". It is something only 5th graders do and she was chosen for the month of Nov. It is a real honor and we are so proud pf her.
Well..hopefully I can keep this more up to date. I just have to find where the software went for the camera.

Waiting for pictures

Well, we got the computer back, however...we have to install the software for the camera to download the pictures from the camera to the computer. Do you think we know where that is?? Nope! I will keep looking and as soon as I get that done, I will get the blog updated!

We're back!

We have been without a computer for the last 2-weeks. I will get the pictures down loaded and up on the blog soon!

I am not sure where to start!!

Where to start.....
We had a quiet, but fun weekend. We decorated the house and tree for Christmas on Sat. We like to do it as a family, and the weekends from here on out are busy, so we did it alittle early! We had a family movie night Sat. night. We ate snacks and watch Nanny McPhee. It is a cute movie. I made one of the families favorite meals for supper Sat. night. Mannicotti!! It is always a hit and everyone loves it. Sat. at Walmart while shopping, some how a Wii golfing game got in the cart. So, the boys played golfing Sat. The kids also set up Hannah's barbie and Bratz stuff and played with that.
Sunday we went to church and then to Fargo for some shopping. We were at Sheels and the kids went for a ride on the Farris wheel. I don't do heights, so I watched!
I am hoping the pictures don't get out of order, but I am sure you will understand.

This was Halloween weekend. We went the the farm that weekend. Hannah had her quilting class and Katie was baptised on Sunday, Tracy also had a party for Jackson's birthday. We had a great weekend. The weather was beautiful, so we spent a lot of the time outdoors.

This was a message we found in the bathroom on the shower wall. It was from Hunter. He wrote it while taking a shower Sat. night. We have the shower crayons. The kids love them and write messages all the time on the shower walls.

Still no camara

I still don't have my camera. But, when I get it back, I will post the pictures I have on it and fill you in on what we have been doing. I am always taking pictures and I have not taken a picture in over a week. I am braking out in cold sweats and going through withdrawals.

Pictures to come later

We were at the farm this past weekend and I left my camera there. So, I will post the pictures and fill you all in when I get it back. I hope you all had a great weekend.

Our 4th child....

This was the nest she made in hunter's bed. He made his bed that morning and she unmade it.

I had to add pictures of our 4th child. She thinks she is human. I bought her a pretty pink bandanna/scarf yesterday. She looks so cute, but, I am the only one who likes it, so it had to go. I have gotten pics of Macy here and there in all of her sleeping places and I have gotten pics of her "nests" she makes in the beds. She will actually tuck herself in the beds and nap.

A busy weekend..

We had a busy weekend, but it was a fun weekend. Sat. morning we went to the Homecoming Parade in town. We had a scare before it started. Carter's plastic bag got caught by the wind and flew away, he ran after it down the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. Needless to say, he had to sit down for a bit after that. Talk about a heart pounding out of your chest. The parade was fun and the kids got lots of treats! After the parade, we walked home and carved our pumpkins. They all decorated the face they wanted and Ryan and I cut it out. They are all very cute! I made the pumpkin seeds last night when we got home. They are very good. I made some regular ones and some with Oh My Chilli on them. After pumpkin carving we had lunch and headed to Fargo to do some shopping. You can tell it is getting to be the holiday season, the mall was packed! We had the kids walk through Toy Land at Fleet Farm and got some idea's for them for Christmas. After all the shopping, we headed to the farm and got to meet and visit the newest Burchill baby, Katie Lynn. She is so dang cute! The kids loved her and loved being at the farm. they got a tour by Ryan to see all the things he did when he was a kid. His fort, the barns and what is in them. Where his Spaceship was. He had a good imagination, still does! They all had a blast. Hannah finally got to ride in a combine. She was excited! Now that the weekend is over, they are all back to school, and back to the daily activities.

Wedding plans are coming along..

I know this blog is about the kids, but I wanted to include the wedding plans, as to keep everyone updated. The date will be Aug. 15, 2009. (Happy birthday Sierra and Grandpa Delmonico!!) We will be having a small family ceremony at the chapel by the zoo. The reception will be held at the Wahpeton Community Center. I think we will be roasting a pig and we will also have some sort of beef, lots of sides and good food. There will be a bar and a couple kegs provided by us for as long as they last. My wonderful soon to be mother in law will be making the sheet cakes. Her cakes are wonderful! I have picked out the flowers and we are not having a D.J., we decided to go with a local band that we love and try to see every time they are in town; Billy D and the Crystals. As for our wedding party, Hannah will be the maid of honor, and Hunter and Carter will be the best men. Hannah wants a "flaie" dress. Those were her words. We call them "Hannah-isms." She has a few of them. I will keep you posted as more plans are made.

New experiences..and lots of dirt!

Here is the load of muddy laundry. They got dirty, but they had fun!

Hunter and Bumpa.

Here is the group going out.

This past weekend we were at the farm. Hannah started her sewing/quilting class, which she loved!! The boys were busy working while she was at her class. They were farmers for the day. Carter rode in the grain cart with Ryan running it and Hunter rode with Bumpa in the combine. WOW, did they think that was so super cool! They helped Bumpa pick veggies in his garden and they went for a fast 4-wheeler ride. I took pictures the whole day and I will include some. They also had a blast playing in the corn in Bumpa's garden. You should have seen them all. Hannah, Hunter, Carter, Hunter B and Calahan. They were mud from head to toe. Grandma thought of the wonderful idea afterwards that they would have made a great Tide commercial. I will include pictures of that also.

We had a great weekend. Thanks grandma and bumpa for everything!
