School Pic day!

Today at Kindergarten Mikatie had pictures taken. So we took some at home. We had to get a picture of the pumpkins with the kids before we cut them up. They had fun posing for the pictures.
I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. The kids just keep growing and time has just seemed to fly. Mikatie is loving school and has learned to skip in her PE class. She is now skipping here and there. We are working on jumping jacks and learning to jump in and out with her feet. She just likes to jump up and down. She is starting to read simple words like see and sam. She brings home


books that she reads to Mike and I. What a smart little lady we have.
Alex is growing and changing more and more. He loves to share his Dad's tools and is wanting to go with him to work. He enjoys his time with his sister, but is liking time with Mom. We have been to the library and just hanging around the house together. I wish he would get interested in potty training but he could care less about going in the toilet. Oh well. He is a big tease like his Dad.
Mike is hunting and dreaming of snowmobiling and snow. He is planning all the changes he can make to his and my snow machines.
He loves to play with the kids and I think even enjoys the days he gets them all to himself.

I have been busy with work. The hospital has been very busy so I have been working almost non stop and on different days. I start my rotation tomorrow and work four days. It has been hectic and
the house is a mess but oh well it will still be a mess in 4 days.
We are going to try to texture the stairwell and hallway downstairs. Right now I'm trying to get the old and loose paint off. IF anyone has free time I can put you to work. Just kidding.
Hope you all are doing well. I enjoy reading the updates and learning about what is going on in your lives.

4th Picture of 4th folder

Here is my fourth picture in my fourth folder. It was a day I had the Tyler, Tyson and Mikatie together. It was cold outside so they were playing in the front room. They were excited to find that we had 3 chairs that were kids size. I can't believe how fast they have grown.

How much is that puppy in the Window

Well we have changed things here a little. Skeet has found a new home in Salt Lake City with a young family with 2 kids. They will be able to give her all the attention she was craving and not getting at our house. We have a new pup (joy joy). Her name is Kallie Rose. She is part Queensland red heeler and Australian Shepherd. We still have Mo and Zoie, but don't know how much longer Mo will be with us. She is hard of hearing and her eye sight is bad. Mike has to decide when enough is enough and schedule her a date with the vet. He is finally done with potato harvest and now is working on fixing fences and hunting. Mikatie starts back in Kindergarten Monday. She has learned her name and phone number in the 2 weeks break for harvest. Alex is your typical boy he loves to play in the dirt, collect rocks and sticks and tease his family. I'm still working at the hospital. It was a slow week which is ok but sometimes makes for long days. It will be interesting in November to see if Bannock County will vote to have Legacy become a partner and if they do the new changes that will occur.
Well need to clean the house.
