Our First Snow Storm!!!

Who would have thought that on October 11, we would have a huge snow storm. A storm that was only supposed to give us 1-2 inches has already yielded 5-7, and it is still coming!!!

The kids were so excited to wake up and have snow on the ground that they couldn't wait to play in it. The same with the neighbor kids.

The kids wanted to make a snow man, then realized it would take more than just them, so they decided to have a snowball fight and make snow angels instead.

I can not believe that it is October and we are already having a snow storm. Ya gotta love Idaho. Luckily by Wednesday it will be in the 60's again, but not for long. Poor Danno is refing a foot ball game out in this mess. My poor baby!

Meet Baeli Madison Ringle!!!

On October 8th 2008 our family welcomed Baeli Madison Ringle. She was 6 lbs 7 ozs and 18 in long. She was welcomed by her parents Dan and Erin, her brother Kaleb, and sisters Mikaeli and Kaerli.

October is a VERY busy month for us. Kaleb's birthday is October 7th, Baeli was born on the 8th, Dan's birthday is on the 18th and Mikaeli's birthday is on the 19th. Much business this month.

All three of the kids were so excited to hear the news that they received a new little sister.

Mikaeli came into my room after school beaming. Mom picked her up from school and told her the news that Baeli was born. She held Baeli for over an hour just singing to her, and telling her that she was so happy to FINALLY meet her. She kept telling Baeli that she would protect her and keep her safe. It was very sweet.


Kaleb was so excited when he was picked up from school and brought to my hospital room. He held Baeli, hugged her, and kissed her. Then he asked her why she didn't come the day before on his birthday. He has been such a big help with taking care of Baeli.

Kaerli was the first of my children to meet Baeli. She came in with my mom, and was so happy to get to hold Baeli. She keeps asking me if the baby is still in my tummy, she doesn't understand that the baby that sleeps in Mommy's room is the baby that was in my tummy. She is such a sweet little girl. All of the kids love her.

Kaleb's Birthday!!

I can't believe it. My little boy is now 4 years old.

Kaleb woke up the morning of his birthday (October 7th) and said to me, Mommy why isn't the baby out? I told him that I guessed she just wasn't ready to come. So he said to me: Mommy can I have the baby for my birthday present? I sat down and sat him on my lap and asked him if he wanted to share his birthday with the baby. He told me yes. I asked him if he wanted anything else for his birthday, and he said no. It was so sweet.

For his birthday we went to Pizza Hut. He had so much fun. Megan, Kevin and the boys were there, as well as my mom.

For his birthday he got a lot of school clothes, he got several puzzles, and he also got a bike. He was so excited.

Mikaeli's Fall Mini Cheer Camp!!

Mikaeli had so much fun yesterday. She got to be a cheerleader again!!! HURRAY!!! Last year she cheered for Burley Bobcats Basketball, yesterday she cheered at the Burley/Woodriver Football game. (Burley won 20-6) She had the biggest smile on her face. This is such a good picture of Mikaeli. I took this right after she sat back down from cheering. Such a cutie. Ok here is proof that Dan ref's football.. I know, it is a little dark, but he is standing next to 55.. Dan did a really good job at the game. Every time Mikaeli saw Dan running along the field (sorry I didn't get a video of it, he was always too far away) Mikaeli would yell "YEAH DADDY!!! GOOD CALL DADDY!!! She was so proud of him.

A little scare!

Saturday was a big day for us. Dan was in Sun Valley reffing little league football, and I was in the Labor and Delivery department of the hospital. I went in for severe abdominal pain that wouldn't subside. They monitored the baby and my contractions, for 3 1/2 hours. It turned out that the pain was caused from the contractions (painful ones I might add) and my body is starting to give out.
Yes I know scary. So Dr. Dowdle (my OB GYN) gave me Tributaline to stop my contractions. The down side to that is I shook for 3 hours afterwards, then when the medicine wore off, the contractions started right back up to the intensity and frequency that I had them in the L&D department. Needless to say, Dr. Dowdle doesn't think that I will make it to 37 weeks (I am 35 1/2) he wants me to try to get there, but he thinks I will be lucky to make it to 36 1/2 weeks. Who knows. I guess we will have to see. Pretty much I have been ordered to "Take it easy"
YEAH RIGHT!!! If anyone knows how to do that with 3 children please let me know.

Dan and his horsey friend!!!

At the Twin Falls fair they have a barn dedicated to Draft horses.

We thought that this was awesome that there was a draft horse named Dan. So Danno got a picture with him. It was amazing that Danno's head didn't even come to his shoulders. After this picture was taken Dan (the horse) put his chin on top of the horse stall, about 9 feet off the ground. Amazing!

This was actually the first picture we took of Danno and the horse Dan. We kept trying to get a picture of him and he turned around. So now we have a picture of Danno with his name and a horses behind. He has also given me permission that when he is acting like this picture... I am sure you know what I am referring to... I can send this picture to his phone. It worked twice. :)

Twin Falls County Fair!!

We went to the Twin Falls Fair (two weeks ago) for my mom's birthday. The kids had a lot of fun. They have an entire building dedicated to model trains. There is a train set that is just enormous. I wish that I had taken a picture of it. It encompassed the entire room. It took 20 years to build. They obviously leave it at the fair grounds because moving it would destroy it. That, I think, was Kaleb's favorite part of the entire fair.

Kaerli was so excited when she found a horse that was her size. They had an entire barn dedicated to miniature ponies. This pony's name was Dolly, there was another pony a little farther down that right after Kaerli got her picture taken with it, he bit her bum. After that she wasn't very excited to see the little ponies anymore.

My kids just love the carrosel!!! As you can see they had a lot of fun.

Kaerli refused to look at the camera.

Kaleb was being funny... hence the look. Haha
