  • Good afternoon.  We've been celebrating Zerias birthday today with just our family.  We took her out to breakfast and she got to eat Chocolate Chip Pancakes.  Then we went to the Olympic Game Farm...hoping to link you to there site for those who are intrested.  http://www.olygamefarm.com/   Hope this link works. 


    Its the farm that the Disney Animals were trained at for years.  Charlie the Lonesome Cougar, Grizzly Adams Show...and many other animals were trained here.  The kids had fun feeding bears & buffalo from the safety of our car.  And we walked around and looked at cougars, lions, and wolves in the cages.  The kids ran up to the wolf cage without us and the wolves thought Zeria & Samuel looked like dinner...they wanted out of that cage so badly!!!!


    Zeria has had a lot of fun playing with her Fisher Price Dollhouse...and undressing her new dolls.  And daddy had to get "his" own present for her  and got her a little stable with 6 horses for $10.  Zeria loooves horses.


    Its so hard to believe the little 13 month old baby I adopted so briefly ago Is already 4 years old.  And wanting to learn to write her name.  Although I have to say I'm glad she's growing up as I'm ready to get some of my kids out of the toddler stage.


    Its nice to tell her to stay some where and realize that she will.  And to be able to trust her a teensy bit.  Its also a lot of fun to have "adult" conversations with her!


    I droooooooooooled over a Digital CAmera last night.  I wanted it so badly.  I love to take pictures and I want to share my family so badly with my net friends.  But I felt incredibly guilty about buying it.  My birthday is in 2 months and I let Rob know long and loud and clear how much I want it.  I can wait 2 more months.  And the money needs to go other places, you know like pinching the pennys to get our backroom finished so we can actually have a bedroom for Samuel.  Right now our 3 kids are sharing a bedroom (its a huge room)  But that will not work for too much longer.  Besides Samuel keeps waking Kaylin up at night...and I'm getting tired of the whose in bed with me now game as a result.


    Its raining & foggy outside and feels like December not July.  I think the Olympic Peninsula has now had its 3 days of summer.  Can any of you share your 90 degree heat with us please?

    WE're gonna watch a video with the kids tonight and have a dinner of popcorn.  MMM MMM  And then Rob & are gonna finish Fiddler on the Roof.  He's never seen it before.  And is quite enjoying it.


    Probably won't be on again tonight...so talk to you all in the morning.
