EdVenture with Grandma Ellie and Big Tease!

This is Ed from EdVenture! He is really quite cool! You can go inside of him on the back side and go from top to bottom to see how the body works. Starting in the brain to the eyes, ears and mouth then it takes you to the heart, lungs and digestive system, When you are done you go down a slide which acts as part of the digestive system and makes a farting noise when you go through it.

Sage was a bit scared to sit on this for some reason!

Grocery shopping

Of course you would pick the popsicles!

Checking out!

Sage loved this tractor! It was one of the first things that we had done and he kept asking to go back all day long

Gathering eggs from the chickens!

Picking peaches off the trees!

Both kids were afraid to milk the cow until Grandma showed them and then sat with them while they were doing it!

Where's the fire?

Going down the fire pole!

Beep, beep, vroom, vroom!

Time to fill up! At least it was free!

Sage tinkering! He loves things like this

Taylie ice fishing!

Snowmobiling!

Taylie throwing snow balls at the hole in the tree! There was a little boy that had been trying for awhile and when we came in she made it on her first shot. I think it upset him?

Playing hockey against each other!

Building an igloo!

All girl! She made us all cup cakes in the kitchen!

Playing dentist!

A very large Operation game!

This image was on a big screen TV that they are facing! They were playing with a band! They loved it!

Sage cheating at golf! Suppose it is time we teach him to play!

Sage tinkering! He would put a block in, roll the wheel to send it to the top then watch it as it fell down several ramps back to the floor!

Princess attacking Taylie's "other" kitty!

This is for the Herr family! This is the cat that you guys bought Taylie a few years back. It has become Princess' enemy! She attacks and beats it up. She even smells it like it is another real cat. hahaha!

Our trips to the ER!

On Christmas Eve we went out to dinner and as we were pulling into the parking lot Taylie said "Did you hear that?" None of us couldn't figure out what she was talking about but would soon find out that it was her ear popping. We got seated and had just ordered our dinner when she begin to cry about her ear. After a very akward dinner we decided that we would take her to an InstaCare however none were open so we ended up going to the ER. Turns out she had a pretty bad ear infection as well as a virus. We were really glad that we had taken her cause Christmas wouldn't have been as fun with having to deal with the pain she was in.

Well within a few days we ended up going to the InstaCare with Sage. He had the same virus but no ear infection! Two days later we went to take him back to the InstaCare but ended up in the ER (due to the InstaCare claiming that we would have to pay a $150 deductable even though we knew we shouldn't have to) with him as well. He ended up with a really bad case of pink eye in both eyes and couldn't even open them.

This made for a very interesting Christmas and New Years. Although all four of us ended up really sick there was good new...Taylie didn't have to miss school and Aaron work! Not really how we wanted to spend our Christmas break though!

Christmas 2008

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree

Our very abundant Christmas! Thank you!

Taylie had gone to the Emergency Room earlier on Christmas Eve however one is never too sick to open a present! Sleep on the other hand...

Taylie excited about her Barbies and Camera that she got from Santa

Sage LOVES his train that he got from Santa!

Taylie's school had a place to buy presents for the family! I sent her with $5 to buy a gift for Sage. She was so excited to give him what she got! I had to laugh though cause she ended up spending $4 on herself and $1 on him...it's the thought that counts right!
