Drama Queen

 When this little princess

doesn't get her way,

like getting to watch one

of her favorite tv shows...

...you can expect to see

something like this!

Then after explaining to

a stubborn toddler that

you have to wait your turn,

which of course brings on

more crying...

..eventually when their favorite

episode is turned on for them

you'll once again have a happy child.

2 year olds are sooooo

BIPOLAR!

We love you Miss Curls!

His Sunday Best

Daddy was very impressed

with how sharp

this little man looked

all dressed up

for church!

He just HAD to have

a quick photo shoot.

March 8th Taco Bell Day

It's Grandpa Thomas' birthday celebration

AGAIN!

All of the grandkids from my side

 of the family take our troops

out to eat at Grandpa's

favorite fast food joint.

The older kids scarf down

their favorites of nachos

and chicken & cheese

soft tacos.

The unadventurous Keira

sticks with her usual.

And likes to share it with Dad.

 

Dan was most upset that he

couldn't figure out how to work

that straw!

 

And he also kept eyeing my food.

Until just the right moment...

 When mom wasn't looking

and he went for it!

I'm sure WIC would be 

OK with us feeding our 8 month old

this healthy delicacy!

Right?

Happy Taco Bell Day

Granntie!

Sydney was completely relieved when 

she found out her team donned

colors no where remotely close

to pink and purple.

 

 If I remember correctly she picked the

number 5 because there are

five kids in her family!

 

 Time for a warm-up lap around

the field.

It was very windy and super cold.

Larry gave Sydney one of his jackets

until the game started.

 The gang is all here!

Our family makes up about 1/2 of

the crowd.

Poor Dan was super tired.

Craving a nap.

But he stuck it out for the first half

and then I drove around the parking

lot once until he fell asleep.

Then I parked next the field and watched!

Sydney did great for her first game!
She even kicked the ball many times,

got it away from a few opponents

and had a fun time.

We can't wait to see what

the future games will be like.

6 trips to Lowes later

and Larry made me a

highly functioning laundry room

and closet!!

He added these great slated shelves,

that can easily be moved around and

taken apart if we need to move the

washer/dryer.

Larry also added a 2nd lower shelf

that is much easier to reach!

A new set of drawers to hold

the family shoes.

We put the shelves just high enough to 

house the 5 gallon buckets of pantry

foods underneath of them.

And now the infamous...

closet under the stairs!

Room for the vacuum, the kids summer

school work drawers....

and then buckets full of my craft stuff.

Plus just enough room for the drawers

full of coloring books, craft paper,

kids paints, stamps, crayons and markers!

I could sit in front of these rooms and

just stare at them.

But alas, there is more work

to be done.

Upgrade

After spending many, many, many

weekends and late nights

repairing both of our 11 yr old cars

Larry agreed it was time

for an UPGRADE.

So good by to the 170,000 miles +

and

hello to a car built in

this century!!

 

 

 

 

 

 As we drove the kids to church

we put in a scripture video.

Then we didn't hear a peep from them.

Ahhhhhhh....

Maybe now we won't have install

limo privacy glass.

 

See that little dot to the right of the cd player?

It's for a MP3 player.

Yup, we've hit the big time!!

(an abundant amount of photos

due to my family's adoration

of automobiles)

your welcome dad.
