Hearing my own words...

Conversation I heard from the kitchen/living room:

Austin "Dad, I want milk."

Shane "Get me a cup"

Austin "You can get it...you have hands."

Sometimes I hate it when my words are repeated back to me!!

Changes

So, I decided to change my background and in the process lost some of my links to friends...If you don't see your link...send me a comment so I can add!

1st day of school pictures...FINALLY!

So, with my crazy life right now, by the time I get to blogging, I just am too tired. But today I decided to do some of it...Thanks to Buddy for telling me how to add the blog list link so I don't spend quite so much time surfing! So here are the much anticipated (I'm sure!) pictures! Here's Gemma...a big 6th grader! Here's Amy...going into 3rd. Here's Nicholas...1st grade. And Austin in Preschool 2 days a week!

"Lazy" days of summer

Here are a few pictures from some of the activities we did this summer.

Funny Post

OK...So I had a laugh this morning when I found this post through another friend's blog...BTW if you ever want to laugh, check out Jennie's blog on the right...but for now take a gander at this! http://derfwadmanor.blogspot.com/2008/08/bigger-love-episode-41.html  Not sure how to hyperlink, so until I talk to Jennie, click the link above!

First day of school

The kids went back to school today...pictures to come...but with school comes the necessary evil: School Projects! They are starting already! Are you kidding me?! I am not a scrapbooker and Amy gets to make 2 pages all about her. (Did I mention that everyone in this school goes WAY over the top when it comes to anything?) Wish me luck with all of the projects!

Slacker, but there is a true Jedi in the house!

I have been a HUGE slacker on my blog...Too much sun, kids and work going on! Kids head back to school next week, so hopefully I can find some time to update! A whole summer worth...probably I should take it in small chunks!!! Here's a tidbit from Nicholas:

Nicholas had some friends over one Saturday. As I am in the kitchen I hear from the other room a light saber battle going on. (I need to give a little background here!) In Sunday School Nicholas' teacher asked the kids to tell her things about their dad's. All the comments came home in a cup that said #1 Dad! There were the usual...plays with me etc, but one of the comments said "My dad is a true Jedi" wonder who said that?!

So Nicholas and Logan (who was in the said Sunday School class) are having a light saber battle with Shane. Next thing I hear is from Logan..."Nicholas, you weren't lying. You're dad is a true Jedi!" Can you just hear the conversation that was going on in class when Nicholas announced to a class of 10 boys his dad is a true Jedi?!

Obviously we like Star Wars!

Currently the favorite is the Olympics and wondering whether they are going to the Olympics for track or swimming?!

More to come!
