Jayde's Swimming Lessons

Little Jayde is taking swimming lessons this month. She loves the water and this is an infant/todddler class that just gets them familiar with water. We play many games and splash a lot.

Elk Hunting Trip

Jordan, Tom, Jayde and I went hunting, while the weather was still good and now we have snow on the ground, in the trailer. Tom did not get anything, yet. Hopefully the snow will push them lower and together. We all had a blast! See her poor nose and head, she feel down the stairs on the trailer. Camping brings dirt and bruses! Jordan is such a great big brother.

He got to go hunting for the first time with Tom and had fun. He even saw a dead elk that a man shot, too bad it was not dad who shot it. It died on the side of the road. How do people get so lucky!

Halloween for 2008

This was Jayde's first Halloween (with dressing up). Last year she was in the hospital and mom and dad were recooperating. I cannot belive that it was one year ago that we were in the hospital awaiting her recovery and holding a new little baby girl.

Jayde was a Ferry Pumpkin for Halloween and Jordan was a dead doctor (no photos yet). I also dressed-up as a worn-out mother (kinda fits the bill) and Tom dressed-up as a hunter (he was hunting that day and just stayed in the attire.

She also loves talking on the phone to whomever, even the lady who says "if you would like to make a call....". We had a birthday party for her on October 30th, her birthday. We had mice ice cream pies, really cute and good. She loves ice cream and did not care for the cake and icing. She had on her costume with all our friends, neighbors and even Jordan was able to come and party. I sent the older kids, Jordan and friends, outside to carve our pumpkins, so they had a fun time too.
