D family Reunion 2010

My family rented Matt's family's cabin for the weekend for our family reunion. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their cousins. I enjoyed visiting with my family too. Even our dog, Chienne, had a boyfriend to play with. This little dog, George, was head over heals for our Chienne.

At the talent show, Jileigh and Talon did a skit/song called Roadkill stew. They were a crack up. Beau and Italee were buds, Jileigh and Phoebe and Millay were buds, Angelique and Sabra were buds, Safia and Tabitha were buds, and Jaren and Silas were buds. Talon was gone to scout camp until Saturday at noon. He was all over the place playing with different cousins. Elody was so sweet asleep on my mom. My mom was willing to just sit and hold her asleep to keep her asleep.

Responsibility charts

I felt like June wasn't very organized, so I sat down at my computer one day and came up with these responsibility charts for the kids. They have complied well to them and the chores have gotten done and my house has been able to stay cleaned up. At the end of the day, I give the kids paper dollars for all the chores they did and if they read etc. and then they use those dollars to get certain privileges. Last week I took them all the see Toy story 3. No I didn't pay for them all. We know the manager and he let us in for free.

Elody's road rash

At the park Elody was trying to climb up onto the bench at the picnic table. She got up and then went over and landed on her head. The poor thing!

4th of July fun

A free side-of-the-road find

I was driving home one day from picking up Talon from swim team practice and saw this dresser on the side of the road with some other furniture with a sign in front of it all saying "FREE." So I hooked up my trailer and went and loaded it up with Candy's help. The drawers are well built, but I could see that it just needed refinished. So Matt graciously refinished it for me. Now it is in my room!
