Breakfast With Miss Kate

Good Morning! :)

Join Miss Kate for breakfast if you're interested...She is very busy right now stirring the eggs...which happens to be her favorite part of breakfast. She is still mastering the 'cracking the eggs' part and we have varied results every morning. :)

But she has the stirring part down pat.

She helps me get all the utensils i need and puts her toast in the toaster too.
But her favorite part is to stir.

I think she would stir all day if i let her.

In fact, she often gets upset when she has to be done stirring.

Time to eat your doggy Miss Kate. ;)

(she loves doggies)

She is also a very dramatic eater in case you didn't notice.

Would you like to try some of my eggs and toast?

(real translation: More please, Mom.)

I realize we need to work on our table manners. :)

enjoy the unedited edition of breakfast. ;)

Mmmm, mmm, good!
That was delish. :)

Coming up next is Blueberries.... Miss Kates absolute favorite. They are sooo hard to spear though...But I can do it 'cause I'm a big girl. ;)Just watch me...

Mmmm!
Told ya I could do it. :)




Well, that was fun. Join me again some time.

And ya'll have a good weekend. :)

Note to self: This child eats like her mother...which isn't a good thing once you get past the 'being chubby is cute' age. :)

Notice she ate a whole piece of toast, 2 eggs (all but a couple bites), and 1 cup of blueberries(she stopped only because the berries were gone).

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for all the comments folk. (With the exception of our Blake relatives who apparently find this blog very boring, or aren't intelligent enought to leave a comment. ) It is really very simple. :P HINT hint. If you're reading our blog we'd love to hear from you. :)

Good Times & Bad Times

Well, we've been gone for awhile and it is good to be home again. We left home and headed to Vancouver, WA, Fri. the 17th. Staying with Mr. Wise Guys parents until Sun afternoon, at which time we headed to Kalamath Falls with my imediate family for a week long stay, returning home Sat. night. Sun was our potluck meal here in Moses Lake and then came a beautiful fall monday. It was amazingly warm out which is great since Miss Kate has taken a liking to being outside...all the time. She frequently leads me to the door and 'asks' to go out...and then gets upset if she can't.

Check out that high-steppin' gal. :)
So this lovely Mon. afternoon we decided to stop in and see A. Vi and Lil' Sweetpea.
(Isn't she just the cutest little girl)



And since it was so warm out we decided to take advange of the opportunity to go walking together.

We enjoyed a good long walk and when we got back to A. Vi Miss Kate had a fun time running around in the yard.

She found a new friend (the neighbors kitty) but she wasn't sure she liked this live version of her stuffed kitty.

She would sit back and look at it... then crawl away...and it would calmly stroll along beside her keeping pace with her

She would sit back and look at it again...

Try a not so gentle version of petting the kitty...

and finally...

Making pig noises at the kitty. :)

Which seemed to do the trick...

the kitty stalked away to befriend a friendlier sort of girl.

So ended our good times... :)

...And soon began our bad times. :(
That night i came down with 'The Flu Bug' that seems to be going around (so iv'e been told). I felt just miserably awful all night and the next day and the next night and the next day...actually i feel much better today than last night. My 102+fever finally left me in the night so i was much improved this morning...although i am still making numerous trips to the bathroom and have eaten a grand total of 1/2 cup of rice chex and a small portion of applesauce as my queasy tummy is still uninterested in food...besides my system rejects it just as fast as i eat it so why bother. I am apparently on a "Lose 5 pounds instantly" Diet. ;) If I just get the flu once a week i'll be skinny in no time. haha (So not worth it.) I am still in the low energy, lying around, don't-move-to-quickly-or-you-feel-Blaaa, stage of getting well. But at least i'm past the 'losing-it' part. :)

So on that cheery note... May the Lord preserve you all from this flu...and have a good rest of your week.

P.S. Miss Kate has not gotten sick so far...i am counting my blessings and saying my prayers. :)

Any other prayers on our behalf would be very welcomed. :) Thanks.

Our Dwelling Place In Moses Lake

WELCOME!

When you come to visit us here in Moses Lake you will enter here from a door that is to the right in this photo. (notice i said when...not if)

[The door in the photo is to the garage but i will save that for later as i would like you all to believe that i am very on-top of things here and have a wonderfully tidy house all the time. ] ;)

You will imediatly be staring into my laundry room. Not because you are nosy, simply because that is what is right in front of your face upon entry.

...unless i remembered to shut the laundry rm. door before you arrive...

then you will enter into the kitchen and living area.

So take off your shoes and come on in! :)

The kitchen is the first place you'll visit. And if there is any dishes in the sink feel free to wash them. ;)

If you do my dishes i might have time to bake you up a batch of fresh homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies! Mmmm! :)

You can enjoy them with a glass of cold milk at the dining room table...

And then head into the main bathroom, which you may notice in the above picture is located (conveniently) right off the dining area.

Weigh in on our scale and you may find yourself unpleasantly surprised at the numbers that appear after having such lack of self control over the warm Choc. Chip Cookies. :P

Don't forget to
check out Susie's lovely job on the decor (after you recover fromyour initial shock over the scale incident).

And if you're touched by her amazing talents...

grab a tissue while you're there. :)

Now you can come join me in the living room.

And we can work out together to give you the courage to try out the scale again before you leave.

Enjoy my large selection of workouts. haha 4 to be exact. (and yes i know how to count. the dvd has more than 1 workout on it.) :P

After a good workout of your choice, you may relax and enjoy our liv. room...

pet the kitty...
and take care of Miss Kate for me ,

while i go take a nap in our bedroom. Ahh!(looking to the R. upon entering)

(looking from master bath door)

But before napping i will probably indulge in a leisurely taken shower in our master bath.

(behind door)

(still got some work to do on this bathroom)

Add in a little aroma therapy for good measure....

while meditating on some scripture verses. :)

And after all that royal treatment i might be able to face the garage.
BRACE YOURSELF!!

(notice the eliptical machine buried in the corner...that may be a 5th workout option by the time you arrive.)

(looking from the house doorway)

(looking back toward the house entry)

So...if you survived that...stop in for a visit soon. :)

If you're wondering where you might sleep...we do have a guest bedroom...but Miss Kate is currently sleeping in it, therefore, no pictures. I can't afford to wake her up just yet. I still gotta workout. So just take my word for it and come visit. ...Can i say just once more... Please, come visit. (if you'd rather not stay with us you can always stay with N. & V. or B & R, i know they'd love to have some company as well) ;)


Maybe i'll do the yard and guest bedroom later in case you care to see where you'll spend most of your time here. :D
