Kalin~ I'm Hungry!

Papa Paul visits Dillingham....

Papa Paul came up for a visit and our time with him just flew by! Before we knew it he was heading back home. We kept him busy with just small projects this time- getting wood for the stove, putting up our lights in the kitchen (what a difference that makes!), weather-proofing the windows and other odds and ends. Jon and I enjoyed just sitting around talking, telling stories and catching up. Paul got to celebrate Halloween with us, play some poker and go to a fancy schmancy dinner in which he had to buy some new pants and for which I made him wear a tie! I thought for sure that Kalin would be full on crawling while he was here, but she decided to wait a while before she performed that trick. (FYI- she is crawling now but is only doing it backwards, hasn't figured out how to go forward yet)

Miss Kalin, Papa Paul and Kiley J

Don't be jealous Bonnie, she's family!

How I love this man....

My dear husband had a bad dream about his loving wife last night.... something about me wanting to leave him?? Of course he has nothing to worry about, in the 15 years I have known him he has changed only in good ways. He makes me so happy, I am quite the lucky woman. I don't know if I tell him enough how thankful I am for him and all that he does for me and our family! (there is rarely a dull moment......scroll down)

Who could ever leave someone who is their own action figure? Honestly, there is never a dull moment around the House of Clouse!

How I love this man!!

Cheeese!

I finally got a good picture of Kalin Dawn and all her teeth! She looks so different with all six of them- 4 on top and the two on the bottom. Kalin is trying harder and harder to crawl every day, getting up on all fours and rocking. Just last week she figured out how to move her hands and kind of scooted backward, but hasn't quite figured out how to put it all together and go forward.

Wolverine Classic 2008

Although Matthew was sick with the flu the Thursday before the Wolverine Classic, he still had an awesome weekend. His record at the end was 4-0. Before the flu he was overweight, after an easy 125. Before we know it wrestling regions will be here!

Trick or Treat!

We were lucky to have Camryn come for a visit this weekend. Kiley got to go Trick-or-Treating with her favorite cousin in the world two Halloween's in a row! Kiley opted to be a witch for Trick -or- Treating, and Camryn was a fairy. Kalin was still her beautiful bee self, and was a little sad she had to stay home with mom instead of going out with the big girls. I got to take the girls out around our neighborhood and Jon and Paul took the girls out and about to load up on candy. I stayed home with Kalin and handed out candy. We went to the Wolverine Classic later to watch Matthew wrestle, I'll post pictures later of his matches. Such a busy, busy weekend.
