Nap Time!

I went to check on Ammon to see if he was still sleeping. My silly little monkey! At least he was sleeping!

Singing in the Rain!

Ben and Emily were walking to a friends home to see if she could play. When I looked back I saw them walking together holding hands! The power of Brother and Sister! I missed that candid shot of them, but was able to get them to stand to take another picture. The best part is you cannot see Ben's grumpy face as he didn't want to be caught in the act of Brotherly Love! 

Here Fishy! Fishy!

Saturday we went to our local AQUARIUM and got our family a 10 GAL Fish Tank and four beautiful FISH! Although there are now only THREE. One didn't make it the first night. I was a little worried checking the tank this morning, but HAPPY to find three little fishes swimming happily along!

Ben, Emily and Ammon are more the ecstatic to have them as their pet. They tell everyone that they meet about their pet fishes! I was excited as well when we brought them home. So let us hope that they will stay alive for a couple of years... Crossing my fingers!

Yumm! on a Friday Night!

Mmmm... We indulged ourselves for a great MOVIE night with Domino's PIZZA and for dessert we decorated SUGAR COOKIES and watched "Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore"! We had a BLAST, but there were some TUMMY aches associated with the FUN! Nonetheless it was fun and it might be a do-it-AGAIN kind of thing!

Ammon just wanted to EAT the icing and Ben and Emi decorated a cookie and ATE it! 

These are my creations that were watched over with the idea of DESTRUCTION by the Ammon Monster! (insert evil laugh) 

Red Bird at Our Window!

So it seems that we have another FRIEND in our little neighbourhood...

He has been CRASHING into our window since the week before CHRISTMAS. I am not sure as to WHY he insists to crash into our WINDOW many times a day. At first I thought he might want to eat the Christmas Tree. So the kids and I went to Home Depot and got a BIRD FEEDER which Grandpa kindly hung for us while he and Nana were visiting. Thank You Grandpa! But that little red bird which we found is a CARDINAL still insists to crash into the window even after we took the Christmas Tree DOWN. I will gladly have him crash into our window ANYTIME as he is friendlier then the ALLIGATOR that currently lives next door!

New Beginnings!

2011 ...

This year will bring LOTS of great memories! Starting with the return of a loving Father, devoted Husband and brave Soldier! We get to welcome home Cameron in the spring from a year long tour in Afghanistan. He is among the GREAT and BRAVE people whom has chosen to serve their country. I am proud of him! It has been a long road without him at home. We have been through car breakdowns, a 911 call, sickness and so much more in the last year. There is always an ADVENTURE with each day that passes. It will be wonderful to have him home again and get to know each other once more and to spend new adventures as a FAMILY!

I have always liked the beginning of a NEW YEAR. It is a fresh start... a NEW beginning that can bring so much more then the previous year. Time to set GOALS and see them through. A time to be a better person. I am excited to see through the goals that I have set... to have fun and learn and grow from them!

One of the things that I want to do this year is to try and REDECORATE the house. For me it seems like a DAUNTING task. I am not the creative one when it comes to decorating my HOME. But the last couple of days I have been studying other designer blogs and I think I am prepared to go out and find some TRENDY items! Another GREAT adventure with pictures to follow!

Our little FAMILY will have GREAT fun as we traverse the next twelve months ahead! One GREAT adventure after another!

From the WRIGHT Five... HAPPY NEW YEAR! May it be one of Spiritual STRENGTH and great memories!
