OUR NEW FAMILY SUV

Our family got a new vehicle last week!
Our family is so excited and blessed with this new purchase. We got a 2009 Tahoe and we are enjoying riding around in it. Jerry and I have been praying very hard about this decision. Buying a car is very stressful and we wanted to make the right choice based on what was best for our entire family. Our other car was not very safe to be in and we travel so much. The kids and I try very hard to go to as many places as we can to see Jerry when is working out of town.
We are so blessed that we were able to get the car that was best for our family of four!

The kids were very excited about seeing it for the 1st time and they are looking forward to taking many trips in it to see their daddy!
I was also very proud to be able to FINALLY put Caiden's ALL STAR decal on display. I have had this decal since June of 2008. I was waiting patiently to put in on a new car. This is how long we have been looking at cars!
We are thankful for so much, mostly for having safety and security when traveling to see Jerry!

BAILEE'S BIRTHDAY ART

Bailee loves to doodle and draw on just about anything!

She got a really cool Crayola Paint doodle kit from her friend Mary Grace.

It came with sidewalk chalk and a paintbrush kit.

On her birthday, March 21, she created her own art on our driveway.These are the things she loves in life.

Her family, favorite sports teams, and her school and school playing role, a teacher.

I am always amazed at her imagination and her creativity!

I love her drawings and I always display them around the house. Her art is on the fridge and even on my computer desk. I love looking at her work when I am on the computer!

This art had to be photographed for it will wash away, but will forever be remembered!

BISTINEAU STATE PARK

Our family had a great and relaxing weekend!
It was great to get away and have some great family time together.
We decided to have a family weekend together for with baseball starting up and Jerry might getting called away, we didn't know how much time we would have together.
We chose this park because we have not been here , and other parks were so booked up! Seems like everyone is ready for some relaxation and camping!
We arrived Friday around six, and I had already cooked a ham before we left. Jerry and I went shopping Friday morning to get everything we needed for the weekend.
Our little cabin was small and cozy, perfect for a family of four!
My Bailee is such a little helper, and she made the beds for Caiden and her.
She also helped me warm up the ham for supper and enjoyed helping me!


We had ham sandwiches for supper and it was yummy!

We knew it would be raining, so we planned activities for inside.
We played many board games. we played pictionary, poker, and apples to apples. Thanks to Caiden and Bailee's cousins, Caiden played it over there and love it, so we added it to our collection!







Thank goodness, it stopped raining Saturday evening, so Jerry and Caiden fired up the grill.
I love watching them together, Jerry is so awesome with our children!
He taught Caiden the "proper" way to grill!!

The kids and I decided to warm up by the grill, for the ground was way to wet to set up a campfire.



Caiden found his steak he wanted and made sure it was cooked to perfection.


We had family time and also our own individual time. Caiden played is PSP.
I enjoyed reading my book
Bailee played school.
Jerry worked on his laptop.


I also got to expand on my hobby, photography.
I LOVE taking pictures, for sure ones of nature!


We also took some pictures of our family.








We had a great time and look forward to many more camping trips!
