Briggs.....and Football

Briggs getting a ride from grandpa Jack.
Briggs loves football and he got the jersey he is wearing from papa Jack for Christmas and won't take it off for anything (well if mommy can bribe him with something good then he might give it up), but only long enough for it to get washed.

Since Briggs loves football so much he is constantly trying to tackle everyone that is in his way. One day he kept tackling one of the little boys that i watch and i asked him if he hurt him. He said "No mom, I just play football". So then we had to have a little talk on how he could only tackle daddy or papa and not little kids. He agreed and so every night dad walks in the door from work he has to be ready to get tackled. The dog even watches Briggs a little bit closer now too. It may not be the best thing right now, but I am hoping that it pays off when he is playing in the NFL!!!

The Rains came down and........

...... the floods came up! Okay so I am a little late at posting and a little out of order. This is December 3rd at our new house. It is almost enough water to go swimming in!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!! Well it was pretty interesting, but we all survived it and nothing and no one was hurt.

This picture was taken from our front door. The water wasn't this high five minutes earlier, and it continued to rise over the sidewalk into the night. I did move my car though just to be on the safe side. I love watching nature move in mysterious ways, well as long as it stays outside!

Our dog

Well, I just realized that our dog aka Maverick isn't on our blog. What a horrible mother. He is like our third child and goes everywhere with us and is almost as well behaved as our other two. My family is constantly giving me crap about how i treat him like he is one of my children. Oh, well we love him and he loves the children. He is incredibly protective over them too.

Holiday 2007

Christmas is Coming

This is just the begining to our celebrating of the Holiday season at our house.


Allysen and Briggs were so excited to get their own christmas tree this year. We went up Trask River road to pick out christmas trees. It was a cold morning, it was even snowing up their. (darn it if i wouldn't have forgotten the camera) The kids picked this tree out, helped cut it down, and even packed to the truck and then in to the house. They had such a good time!

And then for the end result

Tricks or Treats

The children were so excited to get dressed up and go trick or treating. We went with Denise, Ryan and Robyn. We just went to a few houses and then we went to a trunk or treat party at our church. It was fun and the children slept well last night!!

Halloween

Briggs on the other hand we had to do a lot of convincing for him to even put his hand inside the pumpkin. He kept saying "No my sissy do it." It was pretty funny!

Halloween

Allysen was so excited to carve pumpkins she just dug right in and went full force trying to get all the guts out.

The funny things kids say!

While doing childcare 5 days a week I hear very funny things from many children.
I thought it would be fun to start keeping a running list of all the funny things.
