Need I say more...this picture makes me laugh

As part of our new goal of trying to teach Charlie how to walk nice on a leash (which is getting us out walking, too!), we went to a local forest preserve that we had never been to before. It had a nice walking trail, a slow-moving, muddy river & lots of trees to climb. We'll definitely be going back there again!

: ) Definitely Joe's son!

Playing peek-a-boo.

Apparently our bowling was really boring Wednesday nite!

It's kind of blurry, but this evening I looked out the window to see Jesse and Lance messing around in the backyard. They used logs to lay out a 3-sided rectangle shape. Then they drove the golf cart toward it, and at the last minute they turned the steering wheel so that the golf cart would slide sideways into the rectangle. As dangerous as it was, I was kind of impressed at how accurate they were.

A boy and his dog. Clint still wears his B-shirt from cousin's day at the Cougars game when we celebrated Mike's birthday.

Took the babies a bath together for the first time. Really cuts time in half.

Marla April 13, 2010

I have NEVER discharged my static electricity before fueling...have you?

The ducks have been back for about 2 weeks now. Today was their photo shoot.

Saw this over by the little stream in the stand of trees that borders the field between the far parking lot & work today. It's an empty lockbox of some kind and a portfolio - the kind where you might keep important papers. It's probably been buried under the snow & ice all winter. I hate to think of the panic felt by the people who it was probably stolen from, months ago.

Waiting for Jesse's bus to come back from the baseball game.

We are trying to get our neighbors together and have a block party. I picked up the application today from the police department. There are only 13 houses including us, so we hope we get lots of participation!

If you look very closely you will see a tiny little ponytail. Emily got her first haircut from mommy.

I received my 'like new' replacement cell phone today. The zero key on my 3 month old phone stopped working. I did not realize that I would get a refurbished phone under my warranty. Now I have to figure out how to move all my numbers, etc from one phone to the other. I will probably just take them to the Verizon store and have them do it.

Miranda April 12, 2010

I'm cleaning out the cupboards and don't know what to do with these "big" items...put them in basement? Pantry? They just take up too much space!

Margie April 12, 2010

Gabby, Charlie and a few of their friends took this tree down for me. It was dumping leaves into the pool and blocking the sun. And, I am planning to make a solar heater for the pool and need a clear southern exposure. I hated to take down a good tree, but it just was not working there and it was too big to move.

Marla April 12, 2010

Allergies hit me hard today. I got up, went to work and then started feeling bad then worse. After work I rushed to the doctor to get my allergy shots. I hope that relief comes soon.

Andrea April 12, 2010

Dinner is so much easier when it's nice enough to use this bad boy!

Stephen came over after school today. He and Shelby played Runescape, an online game, together - Shelby on one computer in our house, Stephen on another. Kids are weird, these days.
