Great Pictures

Here are some older pictures that I had taken at Walmart a few months ago and have yet to put them on here! But they are some really great shots and could pass up putting them on here! Enjoy!

Overheard

Jakob: "Santa Barbara?" (seen on a container of Mango Salsa)
Grandma: "Yes, that is where it was made."
Jakob: "Is that his middle name?"
Grandma: (not understanding what he meant) "It is a city in California".
(Mommy howling on the sidelines trying to get Grandma to understand what he meant -- Santa Claus' middle name being "Barbara")
Much laughter before explaining to Jakob that Santa Barbara was a city in California that was near where Darrell and Joanie live...where the salsa was made.
Still MUCH laughter...

Week at Jenn's

Oh, what a week. We started off feeling crazy and it just got worse as the week went on! We managed to get to VBS every night by 5:30, not getting back to Jenn's until 9:30 or later. Kids weren't just about to sleep in of course, so we were all up around 8 again to start it all over the next morning. But I must admit that one of the highlights of the week was sneaking out of the house at 9:30pm Saturday evening with Jenn and Leroy, leaving the kids in bed sleeping, with a babysitter in the living room - to go see Mamma Mia! Oh what a great movie!
Anyway, here are a few pics that I managed to get inbetween dishes, diapers and sleep:

Ryan, sweet boy. What a smile!

Nathan was such a mess, there was dirt falling off of him! He didn't want to look at me so that I could take a picture...
Those were white socks. Now they are grey.
Jakob. Oh, Jakob.
Nathan (once he was clean) talking so sweetly to Isaac. Adorable.
Christian had no idea what Auntie Jennifer what doing behind him! This picture was meant to get the blue marker that was kindly written all over his face at VBS.

What a great shot!

Flexible girl - showing me the blue marker on her ankle. (BTW- it was on both sides of her and Christian's ankles!)

Auntie Jennifer was asking the kids what their favorite part of VBS was... They were so tired I wasn't sure they even knew what they were saying!

Thank you sister for a wonderful week. It was CRAZY! But it was a lot of fun too!

More Misc. Pictures

A little "flipbook" of Isaac making his way through a tunnel, trying to make his way to Mama, who kept moving!





Until Mama couldn't move backwards anymore! Gotcha!
