We never win ANYTHING.

Until now.

Meet Chocolate Milk and Oreo (guinea pigs). The newest members of our family!

At conferences last week, I gave Jake a dollar for 3 raffle tickets. Little did I know, until after the fact, that he put 2 of those 3 into the drawing for 2 guinea pigs. Chris came home Wednesday telling me that we had won them. I didn't believe him. I didn't WANT to believe him. I told him I needed a call from the school... and that call came this afternoon from Chris' math teacher. Yeah. Luckily they came with a cage, bedding, food and hay (as well as other misc. stuff).

Yippee. Skippy.

Um... Not really sure how to title this

For one Wednesday night church in October, it was Mask Night (at least for Middle School) and, of course, Isaac had to join in!

The boys decided to cut up a pair of John's old jeans, with permission, and fashion masks out of them...

 Jakob as "Gladiator Boy"

Isaac as "The Wrangler"

 Christian as "Denim Dude"

and these are the "Levi-tes"

 I think their faces are almost as entertaining as the masks!

Wordless Wednesday (kinda)

(Life through the eyes of a 10 year old...)

First day of school

All my babies (I know, they aren't babies anymore... but they always will be to me!) are in school this year!

Chris is in 7th grade, Jake is in 6th grade and Isaac is in 1/2 day kindergarten! It's hard to believe that are all old enough to be in school all day.

Its so sad that they aren't photogenic. And they really hate their picture being taken... So sad.
