Long time no hear!

We are busy as every here at the Bassett house hold.

I have been trying to plant flowers for awhile. The passed to years we have done it over spring break week but it was still to cold. So I am hoping we are out of the clear and the flowers will do great. I can't believe how much we spend on flowers every spring. I don't know how people can afford big flower beds it is spendie. I love to plant flowers though. I spent last night cutting back some bushes and this afternoon buying and planting flowers.

Cole had a baseball game today they won they have won all there games but one. There team is starting to come around. Cole does really well but he love to drop his shoulder he is wanting to kill the ball out of the park. We keep trying to tell him to swing level. Cole had a friend stay the night Friday and Saturday. This kid likes to stay here and come to church with us. He is a pretty good kid.

We had a talent show tonight. Cole jumped on his pogo stick with no hands. He is really good but he got nervous and fall of twice during the song he jumped to. We were bad we didn't think to put Kamden in and Cole didn't want to do piano. There were about 5 performance by the primary president girls. It got a little long.

It was such a nice day in the 80's'. We probably should have taken the boat out but there just isn't enough hours in the day. We are ready to take it out but the weather here has been to cold.

Carter is really starting to talk and repeat things. He loves to repeat everything Ryan says. He was saying Bat hit the other day and Kamden thought he said butt head. So every time she hears him say it she says, he said butt head. So now he love to say butt head and get her to react. So know I don't know when he says butt head or bat hit. I think he is using the first because when he is mad he now uses it. The joys of having older children to teach the younger ones such nice things. And I couldn't wait until he talked. Now I really want he to be potty trained.

Kamden is doing really well in preschool. Her teacher moved to a new house this week. So Kamden thinks we need to move to a new house too. She wants to give back the boat so we can move to a new house.

I know I say this a lot but when you don't write often you forget what happens. I need to write more often I guess.

Flies and Carter

We are back to baseball this week. We had really bad wind on Monday for one game and rain again for the second time on Saturday. On Cole's team there are quit a few kids who parents don't think it that their kids need to come to practice. This is our fourth year and this is the first time we have had parents say they just can't get their kids to practice or games because the kids have made other commitments. I don't know what you guys think but I remember being raised that you don't commit to a sport or activities unless you can be there and be committed. I am not sure if parents are over doing the activities are what but it doesn't help them learn to be committed to something. Cole hit a home run on Monday. I was watching him on Saturday and I am not sure if he is in la la land or is just board because it is to slow paced. He always says he loves it.

I tried to get Kamden to play t-ball but she doesn't want to give up tap and gymnastic. I told her she could do both but she said no. I was hoping I could get her to play ball but I am not so sure. She loves to wear dresses and skirts and can't get her to wear jeans or shorts I just have to make her if I really want her to wear pants. She love make up jewelry and having her nails done. I think she was born to the wrong mom. I think her and Bailey would get along great.j/k


We had the kids picture taken during spring break and I just got those sent off yesterday. So we all should be getting those soon. They didn't turn out as good as they have in the past. I am hoping to get Carter's Birthday pictures taken this week. I had them scheduled on Friday but Bailey and Mike came into town and I forgot.

Did I tell you all that we had another fly miss hap. Carter is so afraid of flies and ants pretty much anything creep crawly. Not like Cole who was pinching them at 18 months off the ground.

Dennis and Melanie was so nice and watched the kids for us for about 6 hours on Saturday. Ryan and I went to the Miss Teen Tri-Cities pageant. There is a girl in our ward that was in it and she got runner up. That was 2 1/2 hours then we meet some friends for dinner and we stayed and visited for awhile it was nice.

It was nice to see Kendall and Jillian. It would have been even nicer if we had seen them a little more but I guess they have friends that they want to see and visit too. I love you girls!!

Easter 2007

So we have been busy this week. If you ask the kids they haven't done anything and they were bored. Thursday we got Kamden's stitches taken out then we went out to Ice Harbor Dam. It isn't open yet but I talked to the kids out dams and we took some pictures. Then we went home and washed the inside and out of the car. After that we head over to Howard Amon Park for awhile then we came home and went to the park and flow kites.

Friday Mike and Bailey came here. So we all went to Walla Walla's Pioneer Park and played on toys, looked at the birds and had lunch. Dad, Mike and Cole left early to meet Ryan to go and play golf. Mom made us Chili for dinner it is Chauntel's receipt wow hot!!!

Saturday the easter bunny visited our house. He brought the kids movies and a little candy. Then they had an easter hunt at the house. A little later in the morning we went to memorial park and went to another easter egg hunt. Cole got a math educational video. Then we loaded up and headed down to Keywadin Park for Carter's b-day party. We had pizza, cake, pinata. Dad brought his bike down and took the kids and girls for rides and we also played home run derby.

This morning we came over to mom's for breakfast and had another easter egg hunt. We are visiting with Mike and Bailey until they leave for home. Then we will being going to church and then come back over to mom's for easter dinner.

Food!Food!Food! It seems when we are all together there is a lot of food. It is all really good food. The best part is being all together! It has been nice. We wish you were here Logsdon's.

Canyon Fun!

Well, here are some pictures of the kids in the canyon. We went with grandma and grandpa. Wow it is different from when we were kids. I haven't been since middle school maybe high school. The kids had a great time.

We also went and had pictures taken today at Penny's wow it took 2 hours. I know it always takes awhile. They turned out really cute.

We will go again in two days to take Carter for his b-day.

We went and saw Meet the Robinson's. Wow it cost $8.00 for the kids and $8.50 for the adults. They don't tell you it is 3D and they charge you $2.00 for the glasses. It was a cute movie though.

We are hoping tomorrow we can go to Spokane and visit Cole's friend that is in the hospital with Cancer.

Motorcycle riders!

The first picture is of Cole and Ryan on Dad's Motorcycle. Dad had his motorcycle out today after the first conference. We came over before conference and had breakfast and watched conference then we all took turns going for rides on Dad's motorcycle. We then watched the last session of conference. Wow! can I say what a great two sessions of conference. I loved all the speakers they were so good. Mom then made dinner we had a BBQ. It was a little to cold today. It is suppose to be 60's I don't know. It is so windy it feels much cooler. Friday was in the 70's so it feels much cooler today.

The next three pictures are of Cole, Carter and Kamden with all her tap/ballet girls. Kamden had a performance at a retirement center and then they all got to go on a egg hunt. They had a good time. Cole of course collected way to many eggs and had to put them back.

Then there is a picture of Carter in Cole's baseball helmet. Now that it is baseball season he has a ball, mitt or a helmet on at all times. This is how he thinks he needs to wear the helmet. He would let us turn it around.

The next two are of Carter on Valentine's day. I made little cupcakes and some regular sized ones. Carter shoved one whole cupcake(small) in his mouth. We thought his mustache was so cute you can also see he has a full mouth.

The next one is of Kamden and Carter getting a ride from dad. Cole use to do this all the time when he was little and thought Kamden and Carter needed a ride from dad.

I hope everyone is well. It is nice to finally see Chauntel got her pictures uploaded. Wow you look good Chauntel.

We are looking forward to Kendall, Jillian and Bailey's family coming. The kids keep asking me when they are coming.

I can't believe Carter will be 2 this week. Boy how time flies. It seems like I was just pregnant. Maybe that is because I still haven't lost all the weight yet.

We are all looking forward to this week of having no sports or activities. Yesterday Ryan and I cleaned out the garage. We found lots and lots of mouse poop. We covered our table with a blanket to protect it and it seems the mice have been using it for a home. So we got everything organized and clean. Ryan also got the boat waxed. We were just finishing up cleaning out the garage when Kamden fell of Cole's skate board and sliced her chin open. We had to take her in for 5 stitches. We always thought Cole would be the one in the hospital a lot. It seems that Kamden is the one that is going to keep us in the hospital. She should have had stitches about 2 years ago while Chauntel was here. We decided against it and Chauntel and grandpa(dad) glued there fingers to her head. We decided this time since it was on her face we needed to take her to the hospital and have it done right. We actually tooker to Kania Clinic and Mr. Kania gave her her stitches. He told us if we had gone to the hospital it would have been $1,000. He charged us $132.00 not bad ha. We only had to wait about 45 mins or so. I thought that was pretty good too. Kamden said it didn't even hurt mom. They did a really nice job with her.

Scouts

This is a picture of Cole doing Scout stuff. He cut out and sewed a bean bag. This one is of Cole he made stilts.
