Meme

I was tagged from a friend. I don't know why she tagged me, I am very boring. Here it goes.

Rules of the meme:
1. Post these rules of the game first.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names. Then the tagger goes to the blogs of those who have been tagged & leaves a comment letting new players know they’ve been tagged. The tagger asks them to find the meme and instructions back at his/her blog.

Memorial Day

This is a picture of our street with all of the flags. It is really pretty when the wind is blowing. The town in covered in them.

This story has nothing to do with Memorial Day but it was really funny. (It doesn't even include my kids) Today Maude and I were at the mall with my sister and her boys. We went to grab something to eat and Tammy went with her boys to a store close by. As soon as we sat down and got ready to eat Maude said she needed to go to the bathroom. I called my sister and told her to send Cole to sit with our food and sacks while I ran Maude to the bathroom. She said she would send him through the Sleep Bed store. Well, there we sat waiting on Cole...Then I saw him, tall skinny cotton headed 10 year old boy, walking through the store touching every bed as he walked by. Then it happened a store worker walked up to him, I couldn't tell what was going on but Cole walked away with this man. I called my sister and said "Either Cole is in trouble or he is buying a bed!" My sister said as she looked up from the store across from the sleep store there lay Cole on a bed! He came out and told me he was sorry it took him so long but he didn't have the heart to tell the man that he was slipping through the store. What man tries to sell a 10 year old a bed?

By the way Cole's sleep # is 25.

Dance Recital

I don't think you should ever put makeup on your 4 year old... It fast forwarded me 12 years and I think we might have trouble on our hands. Maybe big brothers will help us out. She did very good today and loved being on stage! Aunt Tammy even cried and I got a little teary. The pictures aren't great, I tried, it is hard to watch and take pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Field Day and Thank you note to Aunt Peggy

This picture is for you Aunt Peggy and Uncle Jack. I would also like to thank you for the money you sent my daughter for her birthday. I guess this would be one of her first experiences with money and shopping. It only took about 45 mintutes in the Wal-mart toy section. I read every girl item and how much everything cost. Then she finally decided if it was birthday money she should buy the birthday barbie. Good Choice let's get it and run..... I guess in the past we have just let her pick something and bought it without her holding the money, then told her it was from my aunt and uncle. I have no idea but if you have any questions on how much any girl toys cost, just ask. I felt like I was shopping with my Mom.





These are pictures of Aidan and his Field Day yesterday. It was a great hot day full of giggles and smiles. Nothing I love better than being outside enjoying God's beauty and hearing kids have a good time.

Trouble?

I was outside mowing the yard this morning, when Maude disappeared. I stopped the mower and told Joshua go inside and check on his sister, make sure she is ok. His response, not typical of course, "Make sure she isn't getting into any trouble, like stealing your jewelery?" What? Why would he say that? Is that what trouble is to him? Have they stole my jewelery before? Why would he say that?!? Where would he pick that up...?

1 year of blogging

It has been fun... I really didn't know what to expect when I started.
I have met new people and become reacquainted with old friends.
People read from Mexico, California, Alaska, Illinois and Tennesse to name a few. I have been amazed with how many read about our fun family. I have kicked Cody off the couch I don't know how many times because he wants to proof as I write.
I think I might stick around a little longer or least until the kids stop being funny.
I will leave you with this one little story. I think this is what they mean by spring fever.
In one day Aidan: twisted his sister's hair up in a handheld fan
Ate a writing pen, I called Cody (oncall of course) to see what I needed to do. He said "Why would Joshua do that?" Not Joshua this time, his mouth was completely black, brushed teeth and rinsed mouth with mouth wash.
Next is the picture which is worth more than I can write about.
I think he is getting excited about being out of school. (I hope)

Joshua taking pictures

I was taking a picture of Maude's crazy hair this morning, when Joshua asked if he could take the photos. I told him to look through the box and push the silver button. I don't know if Nikon reads my blog but if they do he would be a great advertisment.(Nikon we own a D40 any extra lens you want to send our way would be great) He is only 5 and I think did a pretty good job. By the way the photo of me with my hair back was showing a little cut that I got trying to fix the internet. Also notice the necklace...Birthday gift from my sister, she made for me.
