10 Favorite Childhood Games

Thanks Cori-Lyn for motivating me to blog once a week!



1. Hide and Seek - Used to play this with the boys. Loved it when i found the awesome hiding spot!

2. Snakes and Ladders - Used to keep me entertained for hours

3. Barbies - My friend Crystal and I used to play barbies for like ever! lol I think we played Barbies a lot longer then most kids do, but both of us enjoyed it so much!

4. The Alphabet Game in the Car - You go through the alphabets by picking the letters off road signs or car license plates. I loved this game!

5. PayDay - I didn't own this game, but I loved to play it when I was visiting friends!!

6. Tag - I remember playing this for hours, an all day event

7. I used to go to a friends house and her family grew christmas trees, and we used to have all kinds of adventures through the trees!

8. Life - I loved that game! I don't know if it was the bright colors, or the whole tell your future feel to it...lol

9. Mario Bros for Nintendo - My brother and I used to play it a bit in the winter. We were quite active with our sports in the winter, but when we had a break we would play Mario.

10. Burger Time - An old Atari game. My grandmother and I used to play this together. She was much better at it then me and would make me wait forever for her to get eaten by the eggs! LOL

Tuesdays 10

A friend on a forum suggested updating our blogs every Tuesday with a 10 list.
Here is my list for today

10 Things I loved about today:
1. Brooke came out to the kitchen with a bowl on her head and called it a hat
2. Jeremy got to "sleep in" with me
3. Brooke's new squeaky shoes came today (I've been waiting 3 months for those!)
4. Watching Chloe scoot around on her bum (apparently there aren't many older kids who do that....LOL)
5. I went for a walk in O'Dell with Kim
6. Even though the day started out cloudy, the sun came shining through in the afternoon
7. Chloe was playing silly today when I was trying to encourage her to walk. She kept bending down and touching the floor and laughing
8. Watching the girls play at the park
9. Brooke shared her cookies with Chloe without being asked to do so.
10. Melissa called me just to chat

Pictures

I found Chloe Standing up like this one day after nap time. it was the first time she stood up by her crib.

Brooke was yelling Stuck Stuck...i figured she had climbed into Chloe's Crib....but nope! She somehow got stuck in Jeremy's Greenhouse!
Chloe loves this chair! it sings to her!

We finally got the gate up!

Caught Chloe napping in the cutest position!

The back yard is coming along pretty good!

Thought this was a cute picture of Jeremy and Brooke

We stopped on this rock for a family photo

I personally like this one better!

Jeremy hard at work in the garden...have to take an updated picture of that too! lol

Too cute a picture not to take...she looks like she's being sneaky...in reality she was asking if she could go down the slide...why she would ever think that she couldn't I don't know...lol

Brooke playing on her slide.

We've been hard at work getting all the trees pulled out, here is an update for early spring 2010. New pictures to come soon as it looks more like a backyard now! lol
