Ten Year Reunion

If any of you need or want information on this, I received an e-mail today from Natalie Taylor (Jenkins) that had details about the event. Just let me know if you would like me to forward it to you.

Week in Review (sort of)

I have been in a "blog block" the last few weeks. I guess call us boring, but I haven't had anything EXCITING happen to us that would be worth blogging about! So, in place of something super exciting I will show you pictures from a few days this week just to fill you in....

MONDAY....
The boys love goldfish crackers. In fact, that is all they will eat for snacks lately. Want to know the kicker? They will not eat them unless they have names. So, unfortunately I had to name all of these little fish before the boys would eat them. I never knew how hard it would be to come up with 20 different names for fish!

Tuesday.....
I tried to get a picture of me and one of the boys (due to the blanket, I have no idea which one), but as you can see..that was not going to happen. Whenever I tried to take the picture he would throw this blanket over his head.




Wednesday....
I'm not sure how this ended as I was working, but I thought it was a cool picture!

Thursday....
(I have no pictures for this day, hence the sort of in the title)




Friday....
We decided to cook dinner on the grill. Taylor decided hot dogs were OK to eat with the bun. It took him about 35 minutes to get this down, but it was sure funny to watch him eat it! Way to big for his little mouth. We ended the night with the movie Juno. Very good movie!

Saturday....
I took my last final for the semester! If I pass, I will be receiving my Associates Degree in May. I can't wait to go back and finish my Bachelors Degree..




Sunday....
I can't believe that I am putting this picture on here. I'm sure most of you will think we are huge slobs! We really aren't..only when it comes to laundry. I am great at washing it..it is the folding part that always makes me lose interest. I washed all of these clothes over the course of the week only to find them in a huge pile on the floor of our bedroom. I always start with a pile of them in front of the TV with good intentions of folding them while watching TV at night. Why I never actually do it is beyond me. Call me lazy I guess?! Anyways..I didn't realize how bad the pile had gotten until I tried to find something earlier today. Is it just me that has a hard time keeping up with folding clean clothes?! Probably....

As Isaac would say..This is FREAKING AWESOME!

A few days ago I was running around like a crazy person trying to clean my house and finish up some last minute homework. I think the boys felt ignored, so they decided to drag out their Thomas the Train water mat and color. Normally the end result is a bunch of scribbles and occasionally a circle.

After ten minutes or so Isaac asks me to come look at what he had drawn. I ran over there expecting to take a quick glance and head back to the laundry room. Here is a picture of what I saw!!

Now, I have not sat down with the boys to teach them how to write letters just yet. They are still trying to master the order of the alphabet. I am not sure where this came from, but he kept going!

(In case you can't tell, this is was his version of an I..not bad!)



(May I present the letter B...)

Now, for Taylor. Lately the boys have been really competitive with each other. So when Taylor saw how excited I was about Isaac, he decided to join in. I asked him to write the letter T. Without fail or help...this is what I saw.

(I love this picture...and the T, not bad at all!)

What did you do Thursday night?

We sat around and took pictures of each other! I know..doesn't sound exciting, but we actually laughed the whole time. The boys were jumping off of the chair on to the floor. I think they were trying to see who could jump higher! I think Taylor was the winner..

Isaac sure tried, though......

..

Here are a few others that we took..enjoy
