George's first day of kindergarten..

George has started Kindergarten... It was very tough for me because this is the first year they have gone full time, well close to full time, mon-thurs all day.. Hannah went every other day.. I miss not having him at home. He LOVES school and his friends and his teachers he has two.. They told me he is so sweet, and is so helpful and is always nice to everyone.. So i must be doing somthing right...=] I let him come home on the bus his first day, because he had to sit me down and tell me he was a big boy now lol..So i had the camera waiting.. He said " Mom,, stop it, your embarassing me in front of the big kids" i was like kid your 6, get used to it...=]

first day of preschool

Wyatt started preschool this year. He was so excited to go and learn and be with his friends and be big like his brother and sister..Wyatt loves school so far, and loves to be the class helper.. Him and his friends make up new handshakes at recess.. And then he comes home and teaches me.. And he says "mom, your not doing it right, geez" i guess mom is just not as cool as the other 4 year old boys lol.. As im looking at his picture i just realized i wrote the wrong date, i put 8-16-08 and it should of been 9-16-08.. O well...=]

Fishing anyone?

Before the school year began we were able to go out as a family on the boat and do some fishing.. we fished for several hours on the river, um it was not a good day to say the least.. Eddy cought this itty bitty sqwa fish maybe 2 and half inches lol... But i caught this bass, mind you it wasnt very big but i sooo out fished Eddy.. He was not very happy about that hehehe...So the kids all had to touch it, and then we sent it make to the river... After 3 hours of pretty much nothing we took the kids down the river towards Portland and looked at all the BEAUTIFUL houses and their own personal boat houses and launches....I have to admit i was a tad jealouse to see how breathtaking their houses were and their perfect yards...But when i looked into my children's beautiful faces that day, i realized how truly blessed i was to have such healthy happy kids who could care less if our home isint perfect, if our boat isint the best, or our flowers werent as beautiful. They were just happy to be togather as a family that day having fun...And that is what really matters in life.. Besides with the economy crashing most of those homes will probally forclose anyways LOL....

George's 6th Birthday. August 17th 2008

Holy cow my little boy is growing so fast, too fast! I cant believe he is already 6!! I have been blessed with such a sweet boy who's heart is as big as himself..always willing to share with his brother and sister, always willing to help me out in the kitchen, always going out to the barn to do dad's chores when he has to work late... I just love him so much...He has a smile that will warm your heart..

Like father, like son.

Eddy and his father have put in for antelope tags every year for the last 13 years, and every year

they were not given the tags due to the lack of antelope in Oregon and how extremely hard it is to get a tag.. Well what do you know this year Eddy was given his tag.. It was a bitter sweet moment for him one because he was so excited to finally go hunt an antelope and two it was given to him the year his dad passed away. I told him to think of it as a gift from his dad..So many of his friends and family members wanted to go with Eddy on his trip to Eastern Oregon but Eddy only had one person in mind to go with him and that was his son George..They left for their 5 day trip and Eddy was blessed with this antelope on his 3rd day out on George's 6th birthday august 17th, another gift from his dad i believe...

My memory of 9/11

september 11th, 2001

This morning will forever be etched in my mind forever. The alarm went off at 5 am, and as i dragged my sorry butt out of bed to make Eddy's breakfast and lunch i was thinking okay just be quiet enough so that my 5 month old baby girl Hannah will not wake up and i can crawl back into bed when Eddy leaves.. As i stumbled to the kitchen half awake i switched the tv on.. Not really hearing what was going on. Half way threw Eddy's lunch making i reconized a voice and it was Diane Swayers.. I thought to myself why are they airing good morning america at eastern time in Oregon? I finished with Eddy's breakfast, and then glanced at the tv and saw the north tower being displayed and on fire. Eddy and i quickly disccused what could of possiable done this. Eddy said it had to be some sort of small private plane. Not thinking for a moment that it was terriost. We just figured that some guy got mixed up with directions..I thought it was some kind of bomb. As Eddy and i stared at this live feed so early in the morning on the west coast, we watched the 2nd airplane crash into tower 2 live. My mouth dropped.. I looked at him in fear and said was that what i think it is.. Eddy said Yes, and that was not a small plane..It was in that moment we knew this day would be written in the history books forever.. Eddy had to go to work, and i was wide awake..I heard Hannah crying and i was so happy to go grab her out of her crib and hold on to her for dear life, as i watched these poor people trapped, scared, and then taking their own lives into their own hands and jumping to their deaths instead of burning in that heat. I picked up the phone. I had to reach my best friend Jessy, i had to wake her and tell her we were being attacked. She was living in Bend with her parents. Her Dad answered the phone half asleep. He said Meggy its way to early for you to call.. I said DON GO TURN ON YOUR TV WE ARE BEING ATTACKED!!! I sat Holding Hannah i will never ever forget the feeling of HORROR and disbelief when i watched the first tower fall live. My heart broke into a million peices.. So many lives gone in a blink of a eye. I thought to myself why was i so lucky to be sitting in my recliner with my beautiful baby girl in this small town that most people have never heard of away from danger? Suddleny living in our first small home a single wide mobile home with green shag carpets was the best place to be and how lucky was i too be there. As most other people i watched that tv all day flipping threw channels trying to digest all the information, watching the pentagon, then the crash in Pennsilvania, watching the nightmare unfold in New York.. When Eddy got home that evening, he kind of chuckled because i was still in my pj's sitting with Hannah in the same chair... I ran to him wrapped my arms around him so tight and just cried, and cried. My heart goes out to all of those who lost their lives and their families who were forever changed that day... How incrediable strong were you all to experience those awful days and witness death, heartache, distruction first hand. Even thow 7 years have gone by i think all of those families and now the troops who fight for our freedom and to protect us so another dooms day will not occure could all use our prayers...Im so blessed to live in this country, we are not perfect but we have it so much better then most. Im so blessed to have an amazing family who i can count on when days are tough.. God Bless everyone!
