The Results Are In............

Drum roll please! Those of you who guessed BOY have won the satisfaction of being right.

Playing Catch-Up

AHEM! I would first like to thank my consistent 3 commenter's!
I have finally hauled my camera to the computer to download the latest photos. So here they are.......

Lindsy LOVES raspberries. (With a little whipped cream of course!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILFRED!

I made him a German Chocolate cake (not from a box or can) I failed to make enough icing so while it won't win any beauty competitions it sure did taste good!

The kids have taken to calling him "Farmer Dad". We (he, I just provide moral support) have been getting this years garden spot ready. It will have been 2 years since we have had a large garden. Even the kids are looking forward to it!

Wilfred is using my Ferguson Tractor that my Dad and his brother shared when we were kids. I remember my dad plowing lots of snow with this tractor. We inherited it 3 years ago not in any sort of running condition.

Clayton LOVED to help out with the POOP, err... Manure!

Missy felt the need to try some out as well. NASTY

Being a little girl is hard work. She fell asleep while chattering on her Polly Pocket phone. You'll notice she still didn't let go of it!

Spoons and noses......... the kids couldn't quite figure it out but I do love their expressions!

Dad says "Enough already !"

My mom brought the kids a Thomas the Train ride on. Clayton was a little more interested in putting the track together.

While Lindsy claimed the drivers seat.

Clayton's first Snowman ever! Thanks dad for the help! As you can see this was done the same day the kids got into Dad's grease paint.

Take a moment and vote in the poll to the right. I have my next ultrasound on Tuesday, so look for an update then.

Leave it to Maxine to come up with a solution for the mess that America is in

Someone emailed me this and I thought it was too TRUE to keep to myself. Sometimes you just have to LOVE Maxine! I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty ofa bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table,and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile,the chairs, the table ..everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be .... quiet, serene.....and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing,free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenlyour taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to'press one ' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder...If you agree, pass it on; if not,continue cleaning up the poop
