Brandon is growing up!

Wednesday after school Brandon came home and told me that he can tie his own shoes. I said "what!" I have tried a couple time to teach him and he has not got it so when he told me this I didn't really belive him. I asked him where he learned and he said, "Sophia taught me." Sophia is the cute girl that sits by him in 1st grade. Apparently Sophia is a better teacher then me so next I am going to ask Sophia to teach Brandon how to sit quietly in his seat when his teacher is talking. Brandon sat in bed that night and tied his shoes over and over and over just because he could. It was really cute and I am proud of him for learning such a hard thing.

Black Island Farms

Today we went to black island farms for a fieldtrip for joyschool. If you have never been here you have got to go. It has a hayride and fun games and activites for all ages. Even moms can participate in the activities. I didn't take pictures of all the fun things because I was too busy playing.


In case you are wondering...this is a carrot tree...or at least that is what the farmer told us!

What???

We woke up this morning (October 12, 2008) to this. All I can say is WHAT???

Spooky Halloween House

Today the boys and I decorated our "spooky Halloween house". I think there is at least six pounds of candy on it and we ate the other 6 while we were making it. We are very proud of our finished product...doesn't it look great? The boys are already fighting about it...Isaac wants to know when we can eat it and Brandon wants to keep it like this forever!

Joyschool class picture

I have been wanting to post this darling picture I got from Ashlee of our joyschool kids. Eight boys...oh what fun! You can total see all the personality in each of the boys.

Maycee's 7 month pictures!

Isn't she a babe. Okay so she wasn't thrilled about getting her pictures taken. The camera lady scared her to death and so she would not smile. These pictures are cute but she is much cuter in person.

Six random unspectacular quirks about me
1. I always have a bowl of ice cream before bed. I have done this for a long time and so it is a bad habbit. Kevin and Isaac don't really like ice cream but Brandon will have a bowl with me everynight.
2. I have "webbed" toes. Some of you may have witnessed this crazy thing. Only two of my toes are webbed on both feet. All the girls in my family got the webbed toe thing. I was anxious to see Maycee's toes when she was born, but she got Kevin's feet...no webbed toes.
3. I love the food network channel. Kevin calls it the most boring channel in the world but I could sit all day long and watch all the cooking shows.
4. I hate to dust. I think it is a waste of time because 2 minutes later it all needs to be dusted again. I don't usually dust unless Kevin begs me enough and then I usually call him at work and tell him to hurry home if he wants to see the house dusted.
5. When I am driving I having an issue with getting off the exit. I have anxiety about missing my exit or being in the wrong lane and not being able to exit when I want to. I get in the outside lane 2 or 3 miles ahead of my exit and just sit there behind all the slow cars to ensure that I wont miss my exit. When I ride with Kevin he waits until the last minute to exit just to make me crazy...he thinks it is funny!
6. I secretly wish I could be a singer and dancer. When I was young I would go to music USA at Lagoon with my family and wish that I was one of the performers. I sing and dance only when I am alone.
