Wyatt a/k/a Funshine Bear

Growing up with the CareBears was great fun ... and look and see here that Wyatt, Cousin Denise & Nic's son, too enjoys the come back from the 80's! His Aunties Nikki, Marie and Jill and Gma Nora all worked on this beautiful masterpiece - talented artists!! For his birthday this past July they also made him a Funshine Bear cake!! Their talents never end ;-}

Let me explain!!

My cousin pointed out a good thing to me. She wanted to know what I-59 and assistant meant. If I do recall correctly it all started when we were painting at our old house and I was unable to paint due to being pregnant with Maddy at that time. I would come to the house to check to see how things were going after my lovely assistant (aka: Rosemary) was painting or done painting. It always seemed that everyday that I would take a look at something I would find a spot that she would have to touch up. So she started calling me Inspector 59. Most of those that know me I am a very observant person. I tend to be too observant and I am sure that some would wish that I was not so observant.

The Chapter 5 means that we have 5 to the Pratt family and our story continues. Nothing too special about the name.

Greetings...

I can't believe we haven't blogged since Monday...you would have thought the Inspector would have caught that error!! We (I-59 and Assistant) are heading to Manitowoc on Saturday for a Market Day, where different "vendors" rent tables and sell their product. Actually we see it as a good reason to get out of the house and leave ALL the kids with Jeremy!!! We haven't been "scrapping" in our toy room, mostly working on organizing the Tupperware business. Hopefully we will scrap before Carter turns 1 in January, since I haven't even started his book (this is Auntie Rowie speaking!!).

Life Before BISCUIT

My children have always enjoyed animals. Since I can remember, Brady has been asking for a dog. He enjoys helping Grandpa Earl with his "ducks", PIGEONS. Here they are using their great sense of imagination ... a dog's life. Notice the "doggie" treats (grapes).

Me am Auntie Wees

This is dedicated to our dedicated Sister Donalise ... This is Madalynn's idea of a nun's habit ...

Riding on the school bus

The day that Carter was born, Auntie Rosie took Madalynn on the school bus route and since that time she has enjoyed buses!!! The face she is making in these pictures is what she would do each time she saw the bus. In May we found a bus for her at a garage sale ... now she can ride everyday!!!

Bike riding

Still after 15 plus years, you never forget how to ride a bike....

I want a ride .....

Madalynn, Jeremy and Brady on the motorcycle...and no I don't let them ride on the motorcycle this way!! They each get to take turns going up and down Grandma and Grandpa's dead end road with daddy.
