I found this old slide show...so cute!

Soo much to be thankful for...Part 1

I have such a cute family! I'm a little biased but, they are!
Most of my siblings love taking pictures, so we have a million pictures of everyone and everything. I borrowed some of these pictures from my sister, she really has an eye for taking pictures. Some of the pictures came from a smaller file so they are grainy up close, they are still cute though. Thanks Liz for some of the funniest pictures!
Slide.com was a little weird when I made this slide and it wouldn't let me put captions. I will go back later and try to put captions in.

Soo much to be thankful for...Part 2

Kaden is such a little STINKER!!

Kaden has always been my child that will do anything, just to see what will happen....


He has flushed things down the toilet, many times. He will spray or dump any type of cleaner on people, furniture, or down a heat vents. He throws food at T.V.s, walls, furniture, carpet, people, and windows... Even in public places, so embarrassing!


Today Kaden has trumped anything he has ever done!!


I went to answer the door (It was Stepanie Shelly, if that means anything to anyone). While she was talking to me Kaden grabbed a bowl of salad that I had taken out of the fridge while I was cleaning. It was a nice Pyrex bowl with a lid and everything.


Anyway, he put the bowl in the microwave, lid and all, and started it for I don't know how long.


While Stephanie was talking to me the bowl must have ignited...It torched the salad, melted the lid, and shattered the bowl.


I had no idea any of this was going on!


Blake came running to me in a panic. So, I followed him like a good mother does. Come to find out....I wasn't that good of a mother at all.


It took me a while to figure out what he put in the microwave because it was such a cremated mess.


To say the least, the microwave is toast. And to be honest, I don't think I plan on getting a new one until he is out of the house!


Another crazy thing!! Our smoke detector did not go off!! I know it works because it went off the other day when Kaden put a crayon in the stove and Dad preheated it!


I think we will take the money we would have used to buy a microwave and buy smoke detectors! Lots of them!
The bowl (what's left of it) & The microwave with the mess

Soo Creative!

Blake is the funniest thing ever....and creative!

We do not let Kaden and Sydney on the top bunk of their brother's bunk bed.

We have had too many falls, plus they always strip Ty's bed.

Anyway, Blake was playing on the top bunk and wanted Sydney up with him.

I refused to let her up and Blake got mad.

So, he decided he was going to get her up there. With or without my help.

He got his backpack and a belt and tried to strap her to it...One belt didn't work.

Then he got another belt and strapped her to his backpack with TWO belts.

I just sat and watched his little gears going crazy.

It was so funny to see how his mind worked.

After a few minutes, he had it all figured out and she was strapped in and ready to go.

Of course, she was too heavy and he couldn't get her on the bunk.

But, I do give him an A+ for effort and creativity!

The Almond Family Reunion in Colorado- Labor Day Weekend 2008

Am I obsessed or what!?

Once I started reading The Twilight Saga I couldn't put them down. I read all four in two weeks!!! Crazy me! I'm sure Justin is glad to have me back too. Every free second I had, I spent reading...Don't get me wrong I didn't neglect anyone and the house stayed clean but, I rushed through everything so could read.

I am a crazed obsessed fan now. I can't wait until the movie comes out!
