Peekaboo Wednesday

I thought it would be fun to invite you into a day in our house. I know, I know! You've all been dying to see what happens at the Garsee home on an hour by hour basis. We live such exciting lives who wouldn't want to know. Right?!? (wink)

Although, I think I should add a disclaimer to this post in Cayden's defense: Cayden was very sick so this day wasn't the typical as far as his attitude, but none the less it was an hour by hour play up until the doctors appt at 5pm.

9am  So here's the first pic of the day...Cayden crying as his daddy's leaves for school. Please remember he's sick. Oh! and ignore my filthy door

10am Breakfast is over and I'm cleaning up the dishes while the boys are playing with water. Pouring, measuring, getting REALLY wet. But they were having fun! That's all that mattered at this point. ; ) and ignore my dirty refrigerator and dirty cabinets. ; 0

11am The next two are of Cayden as he has "blanket time" while I teach Joseph. Oh joy!

Please please let me off my blanket!

Joseph matching pictures to words! Way to go, Joe!

Cayden's fine motor skills worksheet. ; ))

11:45am Fall leaves art project. He loved doing this one. It was so much fun

Here's the finished product. We made lots of these and added them to our bulletin board. I'll put more pics of that up soon.

12:30pm Lunch... I had to put a picture of Cayden in his highchair. Since he could stand, he's been standing in his highchair. We've spanked, hollered, taken his food away....to no avail. So we just let him eat standing up. As you can see, I'm super mom and his lunch was nutritious banana muffins. Yes, I gave my child banana muffins for lunch. He was sick.... what can i say. 

Joseph and I had noodles for lunch, but I don't have the space for pics.

I thought I had taken more pics, but i guess the day got away from me. The last one of of us on the way to the doctor. 

Hope you enjoyed these pics. Next time, I'll try to get them all the way to bedtime. ; )

Trip to the Northeast

Here's a cute picture with beautiful mountains in the background to give you a little glimpse of what our surroundings were like while we were up North.

I've been so busy since we returned from the northeast that I haven't even been able to post about our trip. My days are so full, my nest is so full and I'm a blessed woman.

But on this cool Friday afternoon, I'm sitting on my sofa watching my little boys play the Wii and I decided there's no better time than the present to post!

We went went up to our good friends, the Stubenrauch's house for a prayer retreat and then spent a few days in the big city of Bangkok.

As many of you know we worked with Brian and Marybeth for ten years. We moved to Thailand together, had babies together, celebrated birthdays together, baptized new Thai believers, graduated three classes of Bible school students, started a village church and many many more amazing things... but God called them to another part of Thailand back in May. So we were able to go and spend a few days in the cool mountains of Leuy, laughing, singing, praying and EATING! ; )

Our family, well ME if you get right down to it, decided the view was so amazing that it would be a PERFECT place to take a new pictures. The rice fields were so green and lush, who could pass up a pic.

Here's Chase doing what he does best....loving on his little brother

All the brothers!

Beautiful Joseph

There's more pics to come.......
