Christmas in photos.

We had a very nice Christmas. Skyped with family. My sisters little boy was very excited to see J and K and talked up a storm.

We made out own bread rolls to eat for dinner

Got nerf guns, leap pads, clothes, and many more due to the snow storms it is liable to be a week of Christmas thanks to a mail delay. Snow storms back home as well as in Ny have slowed the mail in.

We got reindeer hats. 

Play dough Ice cream factory. That only stayed in the box maybe a whole 3 mins. We are currently making ice cream for everyone. 

A certain monkey that has met Taggie and is going to be loved to pieces just like a certain little pink turtle.  Man and I got some cloths, gift cards and cash. Spent the cash on a snow blower, yeppie

Very warm blankets that will see plenty of use. 

 We started working on are wood project from Great Grand today

It has a very good year, hopefully it continues to snow and work will be delayed in the morning.  We love all of out family and thank you all for all the love you show us from a far. 

Ice snow and NNY weather

I had failed to realise how long it has been sence the last post.  We have has quite a bit go on as well as slow quite week or two. One of are freinds left to go back home to Germany, we had a home full for Thanksgiving and got to speak with all are family. We hope for Christmas we get to see them via Skype. Some of the "fun" events were lock down on the Air field, Ice storm, and snow storms. 

Jaxen accused santa and his elves of taking his preasents to wrap them. He was quite unhappy. Sissy asked for a poney. 

We put up are tree, and play with the train undet it. 

There is over 1.5 inches of ice all over everything. It took 30 mind the other night to drive 2.5 miles home after work thanks to all the ice. 

It looks so pretty from the inside. 

Things have been good, but cold. And look forward to seeing family and spending time with them. 

Hoping they close the minimall tonight for the next round of ice. Be carefull to are family and friends where ever you may be

First snow

Wasent much but they loved it. 

The end of the month

Well  this month brought some changes. I started working part time again. Man took the SIFT test and the kids had Halloween.

Iron man and butterfly kitty

We went to the Company Halloween party at the hangar because it was raining and cold. Kids even went through the haunted hallway. Now there excited for the snow to start soon. Man and I not so much thanks to lake effect, it super charges the snow storm with water. I will have to go to work no matter how much snow is down. I work at the 24 hour store and we only close for 8 hrs on Christmas. Oh here is my Halloween costume 

Other than those going ons it has been, busy but good. Man is staying busy and working on his Warrant packet so hopefully next time boards come a round that he can get it. 

Waiting to take are turn cleaning the church. We take turns with the other families in the ward. 

This past month

This past month has brought a change in weather. All the trees leaves changed from green to gold, red, and brown. We had visitors over the weekend. Man's parents drove up from are home state. The kids were elated to see them. We went to the huge play place in town, had frozen yogurt with sprinkles and sent allot of time at the park. Were half way through the school semester. Job training and hopefully some hrs.

 We had a fire safety event at the local fire station. The kids got to sit in a fire truck, shoot cones with a fire hose, and how to leave the house in case of a fire. Other than that were gearing up for winter an the cold. Loves to you all

September and such

The month of September was rather nice to us up here. The garden did well, we have one  pie pumpkin and one red  Japanese squash to cook up for pies bread or cookies. We were blessed to be able to share Zucchini with some families at church and had plenty of tomato's. All is out of the ground but the radishes we planted at the beginning of September.

There hasn't been allot to do this month, we have had company almost every weekend. One of mans friends family decided to move to the states from Germany while he finishes his contract. His son and wife are wonder full, the kids play great together even though they cant understand one a nother.

We were learning about the letter F so K took all the hot mits and turned her self in to a frog. 

It been a good month. Oct started out a little on the chilly side, and the splash park is closed. Most know that the Government is shut down all non essential staff. Are local commissary was a Zoo Monday. I went just for a couple bags of chicken and some milk. The non express line was huge wrapped around the inside of the store. It was sad to see people so panicky over food, leads me to believe how people will act when there is a food shortage. And by no means is there a food shortage, there is a walmart 3 mins out side the main gate. Feel for those over seas hope they didn't close there commissary's. Glad we keep 3 mos of storage plus what ever is in the house so the store is not a need. We hope all are loved ones are doing well and hope its cooled down back home. 

Hello all.

Well it's been a few weeks. We have been quite busy. There have been many activites that have gone on. It seems that during the spring and summer up here there is always something to do. I think they try to cram all the fun in to the summer due to all the snow they say comes this way in the winter. 

We went to the local Zoo. It was quite nice. There city Zoo and Park is on top of the hill and you can see over the whole county and city. There Zoo was quite nice for the size. The girl loved the Butterfly house and the boy loves the Otters. The other animals were rather quiet all except for the Otters. They wete rather showy. 

Aug brought us are first parade. It was the night out agenst crime day. There was a parade, blow up toys, snow cones, and candy. So much candy. The kida had a blast. We got wistles that we love to blow. 

Yes that is are garden cart. We use it as a wagon. The kids love it and so do I. It handles off road great.  Other than that we have been pretty good. It spent alot of time raining these past two weeks. It helped the garden plants to grow good. But we have had to be creative to keep from getting to board. 

We made some home made playdough. Had to use blocks to smash it. I cooked it a tad to long. But it worked, we dont have a basement. So when the truck is not in the garage. It is are extnded play space. We love chalk, it allows us to draw and color and sweep it up and do it all over 

We have been quite lucky this year and the short growing season. Are peas did a double take. And to keep with the Blaser side growing odd vegtables and fruit. I remember a tomato I got for my Birthday that had a nose growing out of it. To add my part I grew a pea that started growing a little pea from it

Over all its been a good few weeks. Its starting to cool down. We only had maybe a week of temps above 85 deg. Its been very nice. The diwn side is we uave tons of tomatos, but there not ripening as quickly. Hope there still yummy even if they have to ripen on the counter.
