Buffalo and Llamas and Goats Oh My!

This last weekend Mark worked down in Delta.

The rest of the family tagged along and hung out

a lot with Uncle Sam and Aunt Sally.

It turned out to be quite the adventure!

First, they took us out to see the Buffalo in Oak City.

Then we fed the Llamas at his house!

We played with Hercules, the dog, and looked at

Uncle Sam's pigeons and bunnies.

A short walk away, a neighbor of Uncle Sam's let us

play with their baby goats! The kids had fun playing with the "kids"!

Uncle Sam sure knows how to spoil us! We also went bowling with our cousins,

had pizza, and played at a park too!

Thanks a ton Uncle Sam and Aunt Sally. We love you.

On The Move!

I guess it is time to get out the plug covers, put up the videos,

lock the cupboards, and set up the stair-gate...

Jacob is on the move!

He has been teasing us for weeks that he was about to start,

but after Mom watching faithfully for days as he got up

on hands and knees, scooted backwards and

even once pulled himself up to a stand,

it was DAD that caught it on video while Mom was at a meeting!

The girls are having a blast now placing toys as far as

they can from him just to watch him crawl to them!

He only tolerates them moving the same toy away from him

2 or 3 times before he gives up and crawls to something

NOT controlled by his sisters!!

More Snow Fun

On Saturday, after about a week of off and on snow,

we picked up some cousins and went to a local park for some

downhill fun!

They had so much fun I thought they would never stop!

We brought hot chocolate for after. Yum!

Snow Fun

After a White Christmas, the girls decided to try out the snow on their intertubes!

First they had fun sliding down the driveway.

Then Dad decided to hook them together and give them a ride in the backyard!

After a few rides dad decided to take Moriah for a really fast ride.
It did not last too long!
Here is the Video:

Here is a nice picture of how Moriah ended up!

Then it was time to head back in for some Hot Chocolate!

Jake Loves The Water

Here's a short video of one of Jacob's baths.

As you can see he really likes the water.

Sick In Love

This is a "Medical" Love Song I wrote for fun.

I have only been playing the guitar for a year...

so don't judge too harshly!

As requested,

the words (and explanations) of the song:

First Verse:

I used to be the picture of health,

Never sick. I took care of myself.

But now there's clearly something wrong with me

'Cause when I see you my vision gets blurry

Chorus:

And I start to hurt like appendicitis

And itch from neurodermatitis (an itchy rash that comes from stress)

The Hypertension (elevated Blood Pressure) you create

Makes my heart cells fibrillate (beat fast and irregularly)

And even though the tests all show

That there's nothing wrong with me

It's clear to see, that I'm Sick in Love...I'm Sick in love.

2nd Verse:

My dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) acts up when you walk by

I'm short of breath, I feel like I could die

And I always get a little ADD (aka ADHD)

Whenever you get really close to me

(Chorus)

3rd Verse:

The fever and chills, the chest pain that I feel

My doctor says, that none of it is real

The palpitations (strong heart thumping) and weakness in my knees

I guess that it's just my anxiety!

Last Chorus

But you make me hurt like appendicitis

And itch from neurodermatitis

The Hypertension you create

Makes my heart cells fibrillate

And even though the tests all show

That there's nothing wrong with me

I hope you see, that I'm Sick in Love...I'm Sick in love...

Yes I'm Sick in Love
