Background Picture

Just a quick note. The background picture for this blog was taken by my sister Sherene Barenedregt while we were camping this (2011) fall :-)
Here are two shots of it :-)
I LOVE these pics!!

Barendregt Family Thanksgiving 2011

Here are a few pictures of the Bill Barendregt Family this thanksgiving. We were very thankful to be able to spend thanksgiving with the entire family!


The Barendregts
(Thanks for snapping these pics of the entire family Rach.) :-)

All posed and nice looking :-)
2 grandparents/parents,
9 kids,
1 boyfriend,
3 son/brother-in-laws,
4 grand kids (6 counting the 2 due next year)
19 people (21 counting the 2 due next year)


How we normally look when we are all together...
Unfortunately, you can't see Nadine in this pic... but she might like it better that way... :-P Love Miranda's Superman pose! :-) Byron wins the highest jumping award. And Dad wins the most unusual jumping award, we still aren't sure how he was able to do that but we had a good laugh over it :-)




Just the Grandkids...


What the grandkids see while the picture was being taken...
This pic was a bit staged... Aaron has a pic on his phone that could make almost anyone pee their pants... haha I don't have that picture and even if I did I would probably get in trouble for posting it :-P


Two more grand kids expected Feb/March 2011 D.V. (Nadine and I are due two weeks apart :-P)

October 18, 2011

I will be blogging about our trip to Winnipeg but not today :-)

Today you get three pictures, one of my ultrasound 3 weeks ago, one of Miriam holding her 'baby' lol and one of my little monkey climbing on a helicopter at the park, while we were camping in Winnipeg 2 weeks ago :-) He managed to get all the way to the top multiple times and fell from the top twice while I was looking - fearless boy! I'll post a video on facebook of him climbing this helicopter. I would post one on here but I haven't figured out how :-S

We are planning on getting rid of the kitten, mostly because I don't want to run after him, and he has also taking a liking to shoes... yes I think this cat thinks it's a dog... Anyway, we don't really have the money to replace all of our shoes or, a practical place to put them that the cat can't get at so, I do believe by the end of the week this house will hopefully be animal free once again :-P
I'm kind of sad cuz this cat is Amazing! He loves people and snuggles SO much and he doesn't scratch me or the kids unless Dylan is stepping on him, trying to throw him down the stairs, or something along those lines :-P If you would like to adopt him for free give me a call/email or comment on this post and say so, cuz I am going to bring him to the humane society on Thursday if I haven't heard anything. :-(

Roof with a facelift :-)

I have decided to continue blogging yay! lol I hope I can be a bit more consistent with it, but we'll see... :-)




Here are a few pictures from the end of September when our roof received a facelift :-) Thanks to all the people that came out to help!! We REALLY appreciate it!

On Friday night Rebekah, my FIL and Matthew ripped the shingles off of the front half of the roof.












On Saturday, we had 6 guys come out to help rip the shingles off of the other half of the roof and sheet and re-shingle the roof :-) Becca helped in the evening after work, and my MIL came by to babysit the kids for a bit during the day, so I could run out a pick up a few more things from home depot :-)




Done!
Rachel helped Matthew on Monday eve- (We ran out of shingles on Saturday :-S But, by Monday night everything was done)

Contine blogging?

So I'm not the most dedicated blogger there is out there :-P I've been thinking of stopping this blogging thing, I haven't quite decided yet... I'm just wondering if anyone reads and or enjoys these posts and that isn't my friend on facebook? Cuz if there isn't anyone then I may just go back to posting pictures on facebook instead. Please leave a comment if you would like me to continue blogging :-)

(Nadine, I can't find how to add the anonymous button under comments. Can you walk me through it? Thanks) :-)

Oliver

Here are a few pics of our new little kitten Oliver. He is a cross between a ragdoll and (I don't remember the name of the breed, I'll edit it when I do) Which are both fairly docile breeds so I'm hoping this kitten won't turn into a nylon scratching, curtain climbing, foot chasing, selfish cat... what I kinda want is a more dog like cat... nice, people pleasing, affectionate cat... I haven't had very great experiences with cats so far, so we'll see... :-P
The kids LOVE Oliver! and Oliver seems to love the attention! Point 1 for the kitten... he also likes to snuggle on my lap and take a nap - another point for the kitten :-) I'm starting to fall in love! He also doesn't shed that much - I haven't had to pick it's hair off my clothes yet, and I wore black today! Another point for the kitten! (the ragdoll breed (it's mama) doesn't shed that much, I'm not sure about the other breed (it's dad)).
Ok here are some pictures now.
