Well going back a few months, I feel I should touch on a couple events missed.

First and Foremost, my Abbi turned 7 years old. . . I can't believe it was 7 years ago that I had my little baby and I still remember when she came out screaming I knew she was mine.

Anyway, she was exited to have a pool party, but when it came down to it weather wouldn't permit so we settled inside for some games and pizza.

The kids all had fun we made crowns for the girls and boys so they would feel like royalty and then we played games, had ice cream and cake, and last but not least we opened the presents which is fun for everyone including Abbis brother and sister who love to help her!!

After we went outside and ran around and blew bubbles and played till the kids moms came it was fun! Abbi got to have one last party before the year was out.

As SUMMER came the kids were very exited to get out and play for the summer. Having lots of friends in the neighborhood and having a pool nearby it would surely be great! Of course it was, we would go to the pool for a couple hours each day, ware the kids out, sometimes we would even get to bring couzin Sami with us. I soon found out my kids were "fish" they love the water and could stay there all day if I would let them. Abbi is swimming by herself and Issac is pretty much there as well. Avrie though not swimming herself yet, believes she can and takes any opportunity to try to swim free.

OK sooo it has been FOREVER since I have blogged it has been so caotic and I just have neglected it but I have decided I have enough pictures saved up that I need to post some of them.

First I have to show you all what cute hair our uncle zach and quincy have, they came down last weekend to papa and nanas and we did their hair. . . .and then they went and got it cut.

Zach didn't want pictures but with such "pretty hair" how could we resist. And um we're trying to earn brownie points now that he won a mini 4 wheeler in a drawing. Hopefully he'll bring it to the farm for all the grandchildren to have fun with. Next, as many of you know our first of many fun holidays just past last weekend. The time when we are all able to dress up and be someone we arn't!!!! Hmmm I guess its fun for the kids and theraputic to us adults!

We had a fun halloween as we always do. Grandma Bourne started out Thursday dressing up as the classic the "ugly mean witch" that goes to school and visits all the nice little children. She is the school nurse so in Montana City she is the good witch that tell all the kids to be safe and how to be healthy and careful. Avrie saw this scary first and at first said no mom thats not Nana, she is a witch. After studying the questionable character, she finally identified Nana by her familiar voice. . . " ohhh now it's Nana " which she then followed by a big fat monster kiss.We all dressed up for Friday, even I participated in the fun, only I dressed up as the "nice" witch.

Issac was a cowboy, he has turned into quite the little cowboy at that helping papa feed the horses and stuff. Abbi convinced Nana to make her a princess dress and she was so proud of the finished product.

Last but not least Avrie wanted to be special too, so I put together a little skirt for her so she would be a pretty princess to.It was a day full of fun, Issac had a fun party at preschool, they painted pumpkins, had treats and showed off their costumes to the rest of the school.

We went and visited Abbi at school, after which we went down town to the strip mall where all the stores were open for trick or treating between 1 and 4pm. It was a free for all and lots of candy to be had by hundreds of kids. The kids had lots of fun and got to see all the cool costumes everywhere.

We then went over to the church and had a "trunk or treat" at which all the cars pull up and open their trunks and pass out candy.

Some actually did some fun decorations, once even had mystery hands which came from behind a sheet and handed out candy as well as performed magic tricks. Avrie was intrigued by this and would stand and watch for several minutes trying to figure out where the hands came from.

We all had lots of fun, we even convinced Nana to come to our "party" we allowed her to dress up as a women who diddn't want to get out of bed because she was tired from working all week. . . oh wait that is what she was and halloween was a good excuse to let it fly!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Building a boat is fun to do. to do . to do . to do !!!!!

So I don't know if you all know but Home Depot, bless their hearts, does a fun craft the first saturday of each month and it is a blast for all those hands on kids, they get to pound and hit as many times as they want ( on the wood only!!!) Issac has gone a couple times with a neighbor couple who is sweet enough to takes the neighborhood boys every once in awhile for some fun!

We took our crazy group this morning and they had a blast! Issac of course was in heaven he took control and wanted to do everything all by himself.

Avrie had the best of intentions to do it herself but submitted to the helpful hand eventually. Abbi in her sweet little way asked for guidence, but did what she wanted anyway. . . . I guess its already starting. But she is my sweet little helper and friend still. It was great fun I recommend it to all you moms of little boys who love to hammer and build and just be boys!!!

Born to be Bournes'

We had a Bourne Family get together and had a blast, went up the canyon, played games, ate, and were entertained by all the kids and babies. It is so exiting that we finally started posterity through the Bourne lineage, well . . . officially our men have started to join the "family" club. Might I add we have some of the cutest nephews ever, they are both so cute and I love to just love both of them. Jax is so cute and funny he is in that fun stage where they learn to respond and smile and laugh. Brighton is just so cuddly, and sweet, and such a little stud. I am happy to say I think my brothers are both great fathers and will be awesome daddys. I do have to laugh a little inside because its great and easy now . . . but just wait it just gets funner!!!
My cute little family, we just keep getting bigger and bigger and my kids get funner and funner and full or more adventure.

Amber and my cute little Jaxon, we had so much fun consumed by his cute checks and fun little laugh, especially that cute smile that he had for his aunt Mel everytime I played with him. I think it was return for that 4:30 am saving I did when he wasn't wanting to go to sleep, sorry mom and dad but aunt Mel and I needed bonding time!

Daddy James and Daddy Brian a perfect photo minute taken a minute to late. They were so cute, they were both feeding their babes, but I still captured the moment of them and there BOYS!!

Brian and Raina and Baby Brighton, he looks more like his daddy everyday. He got the best of both of you!! He is such a cute cuddly little guy, watch out world here he comes. It is very interesting to watch my brothers turn into daddys'. . . bottle patrol, diaper duty and protective parenting. . . I never thought I would see Brian be so protective as he is for little Brighton! Now he has two sweet hearts to take care of. Aren't Raina and Baby Bri so lucky!

Uncle Zach showing little Issac the ropes, teaching him the ropes, helping him on his way to being "the dude". He also helped Issac throw rocks and boulders into the deep river bed. Issac loves to spend time with his uncles, they all just love to keep him entertained, and try to keep him out of to much trouble.

1, 2, 3 POPCICLE STICKS

So Issac was going through my old crafts box and found a couple bags of small and large popcicle sticks, or doctors office tongue depressors how ever you want to see it. We started off our adventure by stacking the sticks up to make log cabins which was tons of fun, then my niece came over and decided we should play "pick up popcicle sticks" we had mini popcicle sticks everywhere. Issac then discovered that popcicle sticks also make a great grenade which he could throw at his sisters and cause panic. . . what fun for a little guy huhh!! Abbi then decided that our popcicle sticks would best be used to make picture frames and since Fathers Day is coming up we could do them for dad!

Hey Baby Lets GO to VEGAS!!!

Wow, I havn't been to Vegas in awhile and not with my 6 year old daughter, I felt like I was trying to allow her to enjoy the fun while injecting my little rendition of editing every so often. Sweety, I know that lady isn't wearing a shirt but we still have to remember WE want to be modest, all in all though I thought it was a fun trip and Abbi, Nathaniel and I had fun playing games, tricking the age/weight/birthdate guesser, we had to do 3 times to get a prize for Avrie and Issac too. Thats one thing I love about my kids they always want something. . . .then they want something for their siblings too!!!

Victoria and Mom and Dad Farnsworth
The big reason we were there was because Nathaniels sister got married. . how exiting that was and it was beautiful once everyone (including the wedding certificate ) got there. It took place in a quaint little church a little ways off the "new strip" I'm told is the name. Victoria was glowing and Travis was too. They both had happiness and glow about them. We wish them all the best and success in there life together !
Victoria and Travis Stephans

THE GUYS: (missing Travis), Dad (Dennis), Wayne, Nathaniel, and James!

THE KIDS: Samantha (james and Tiffany), Matthew (Victoria) and Abbigayle (melissa and nathaniel) missing Issac and Avrie.

THE GIRLS: Victoria, Mackenzie (wayne), Tiffany (james) and Melissa (nathaniel)

FUN at the ZOO !!

We decided to go spend a day at the zoo, the "Kangaroo Zoo" (a local hang out for moms and kids) let my little animals go crazy !!

We took our cousin Samantha with us and they all had a blast runnin up and down the blow up slides. We had to catch a few precious poses they weren't easy to get however because they didn't want to stay still to long.

Abbi, Avrie and Sammy were the crazy 3-some, Issac of course found friends with all the little boys there.

My dynamic duo loves to play together and hence love to slide together, Issac usually has Avries' back if anyone tries to mess with her and of course he may literally have theirs if they mess with her bro!

Abbi is such a little princess, she loves to pose and look all "hot" for the cam. "Don't YOU wish Your

girlfriend were HOT

like HER!!!!"

Cousin Sammy is kinda cute herself, watch out world our Farnsworth BABES are gunna RULE your WORLD!!!

Brighton Hans Bourne is FINALLY HERE!!!!!

Brighton Hans Bourne

Well the big day finally came Brian and Raina welcomed Brighton Hans Bourne. Born at 4:59pm March 27, 2008. He weighed 7lbs9oz and was 20 inches long and has a head full of hair. Raina did great and her and Brian are both proud, happy parents. . . we won't talk about the lack of sleep you get with a new born!!!!

Abbi and I went up to visit with Raina and Brian before the big event, I think Abbi was even more exited than them. . . . figurativly speaking she kept pacing and egarly awaited, asking every so often "when can we go see Raina and the Baby", or "can't Raina just have him so we can go see him?" I guess some day she will understand the complexity of "just having a baby"!!!!

We were joined by Rainas' father, mom and sister who too eagerly awaited being able to see the newest member. We all stood outside the doors like vultures waiting to pounce. . . exept in a more pleasant way!!!!

We were finally allowed in, "ahhh he is sooooo cute", "I think he looks like brian", "look at all that hair", "look at those eyes, he has such sweet eyes", " mama how you doing?". We got to watch them draw some blood and get him all nice and cozy to go back to mama.

Of course, Grandma Bourne was in hot pursuit on the freeway we often burn between here and Helena. Giddy as ever she couldn't wait to see another one of her cute grandbabies. We have quite the little clan we are building now thanks to James/Amber and now Brian/Raina.

Yesterday we took the kids up to see the baby. Issac is soo exited to know there is another boy he can play with. He told his dad, "I need a baby brother just like Brain and Rainas' baby". The pressure that a comment can lend ehhhh!!! Of course, Abbi and Issac couldn't get enough both wanting to hold baby Brighton constently neither wanting to share with anyone.

Issac had to check out every little inch of the babies body to make sure it was all there. He was especially facinated with the wierd belly button clamp he had on. His little feet, his little toes. . . Issac says he wants a baby just like this when he gets older so he can hold him as long as he wants and even get to carry him around!!

Apicture with Grandma Bourne Bourne and her babies, we are only missing Jaxon but only in picture we were all thinking about how lucky we are to have such cute, healthy babies around us. We wish we could see him more often.
