A clean room!

After years of teaching them to clean their room, and fighting with them to get them to do it, they finally, (With a little help from Dad,) cleaned their room! And look, the carpet is brown. You couldn't see that before because the floor was covered with clothes, toys, and blankets. There is still some cleaning to do with regard to their dressers, but I'm just happy to see the floor and vacuum it!

They call themselves the cleaning ninjas. That's disturbingly not true. None the less, here is some pictures that they wanted to share with you.

All in all, it was a big project as now the boys ninja senses protect the room from getting dirty again. Their ninja senses = fear of father's wrath!

Lexy's Birthday

Well, here we are finally at the last kids birthday of the year. Oh wait, we still have mine and I'm still a kid, right? Anyway as you can see, Lexy got a kitchen set. Along with far too many utensils and things. I say that because it's too many when she can't figure out what to do with it all come time to clean up and I end up doing it.

Gramma got her a princess nightgown that she truly loves and wants to wear all the time. Thanks Gramma!
A while ago, Lexy picked out a ring in Walmart while we were getting a watch battery changed. We tried to show her other rings but she only wanted that one. Well we had no plans to buy the ring, but she had other plans and cried all the way out of the store. Well Daddy can't let his little girl cry so I saw an opportunity when her birthday came up to get it for her. And I did! Aren't I such a good Daddy?

She also got her first Barbie doll. She took it out of the package, and proceeded to brush her hair. Which messed it up and ruined the way it was pulled back. Oh well, I guess that's what girls do.
We got Lexy a kids Mp3 player because there's 3 songs she always asks for and frankly, we're sick of them. 2 from Toby Mac, Boomin, and Tru Dog. The 3rd is from Isaiah 6, Like A Freak. (Sorry Derek, but 50 times a day would make you sick of your own song.) So I put these songs on there and she can listen to her hearts content!

If it works, here is a video of her dancing to her tunes! Sorry, no sound.

Didn't she have a lovely cake made by Lori. Luv u honey!

Well, I think the smiles have it! She loved her 3rd Birthday. So did I! I love you Lexy!

Four Mile Creek Campground

Every year since last year, we as a family have and will be going for a late season camping trip to Four Mile Creek Campground. It's simply the best Campground around in my opinion. That's why we go for a week. It's situated right on the shore of Lake Ontario! You can go right down on the beach and watch the sunset! It's awesome! On a clear day or night, you can look across the lake and see Toronto! It looks like a city on the water. Anyways, the following are pictures of the kids enjoying the week. Carter learned how to ride his bike without training wheels during this trip so you're seeing the first picture of him riding without the training wheels.

Lexy loved walking April's (My sis.) dog Milo.

All I can say is, this trip lived up to our expectation! It was awesome! It was an awesome time, with awesome weather. Thank you Jesus, for an awesome week!
