LEAF MAN

Picture #1
The other day Alexyss asked late in the evening if she could go outside. I said that was ok as long as she was going out back. She said "OK" and headed out into the back yard. She was gone for probably a 1/2 hour so I checked on her and there she was outside wandering around. Then she came in with the leaves that she would shortly turn into "LEAF MAN". She then proceeded to get out the tape, stapler and whatever else she needed to put him together. It was funny. These are the things she does all the time. So Leaf man sits on our fridge now. I don't know what inspired it but heck what inspires half her ideas, we'll probably never know.

Nojah and Alexyss waiting patiently for our family pictures to be taken yesterday. They looked so sweet sitting there so I took the photo.

Picture #3
Here is toothless! She has lost 3 teeth now at the ripe age of 5. Her first in Thailand when she was only 4. She lost one about 2 days ago and the other she pulled out on the drive to pictures. I asked her to just wait until after family pictures but apparently that was too much to ask. HUH??

Picture #4
Nojah and Lex roasting marshmellow's after pictures. Actually we were stuck on the other side of the pond for awhile as a group of elderly people drove in and did a baptism ceremony. They dunked the lady in the pond when it was only about 45 degree's out with winds. I wasn't sure she would live through it. But they put a coat on her she jumped in the car and off they went (probably to Grande Ronde Hospital).

Nojah and Lex with Grandma Val on Saturday up at Buckhorn lookout. Her, Tob, and the kids went for a drive and on the way home his fuel hose fell of the truck and they lost all of their gas. Besides the fact that they had lost a lot of money and polluted the environment they were stranded 30 miles from home. Cell phones (as well as cell service) are great things. Friends are great too. His friend Adam brought him some gas and he fixed the fuel line and off they went. Anyway that is our past week in a nutshell. I am on my week of work so since all I do is sleep, and work (and eat of course) I don't get a lot of time to post.
