Smokey-Our Very Amusing (Annoying) Cat

If you ask Duane, "He's not amusing. He's annoying. Anyone want a FREE cat? He's an over weight blob." If you ask me, "He's frisky. He's funny. He's very special. He's not fat, he's fluffy."  I absolutely adore this cat.  Duane, absolutely loathes this cat.  However, I think he secretly LOVES Smokey.  You should see him when he thinks no one is watching.  I guess you guys can make your own opinion. - Merry Christmas from Smokey!
It's super difficult to see Smokey in this video, but I think you get the idea.  He's climbing the Christmas Tree!  LOL!

Melanie Roasting By an Open Fire

Now this is my kind of wintery fun. Do you like Melanie's outfit? She's a snow princess.

Fun in the Icy Brrrr Cold!

Melanie playing with the kids on our street. - Snow (ice) angel time! Plastic lid for a sled! Melanie & Aubrey. Melanie's new friend from across the street. Iced over roses. Aren't they pretty? Kyle attempting to play basketball in the brrrrrrrrr...cold. The basketball gets stuck in his frozen net. LOL! Lets use a shovel to free it. Maybe the Razor 3 wheeler will be more fun on the ice. LOL! Children sure know how to have a good time no matter the weather!

Pregnancy Week 24

The start of our 6th. month! This baby is just-a-growing! The baby's heart rate was 133. Here we are posing on the left. From the front. From the right. Check out my outie belly button! Eww!

"Gems" Results

Look how beautiful our crystal gems are! Gems on a string Gems on the bottom of our jar. I just love homeschooling. This stuff is so neat!

"Gems" Experiment

We learned in Melanie's Science book how to make "gems", like diamonds. Of course ours aren't nearly as valuable. HA! But it was still fun using boiling water & salt to make our beautiful "gems."
