First-the kids and dirt category....

I thought there were some real winners here. The boys gave it a good shot, but I think Amarra takes the cake.

funny pics

Thanks Kimily for the idea, even though nobody else seems to care too much. But I am going to post a couple of pics that are not of the kids, cause my kids are really to hard to sneak up on with the camera, and none of them want to be on camera with the exception of Lucy........ while she is posing.

So I will share a few pictures from my travels.....


Everyone knows that in the South people tend to be a little..... hickish, well, in Florida I went to rent a movie and the largest single section of this video store fit the bill..


All the retired widowers come to the same summer camp in one area,..... I don't who's teaching but they must be good.

And last of all, when you need the best to represent you and get you top dollar for your house look no further than Jack.........

Funny Picture Contest

Hey all... I was thinking, we're not very good at posting on this here blog... so I thought maybe if we had a purpose for posting it would help get the ball rolling.  Now, I know we don't all have a gem like Gavin in the cupboard, BUT I'm certainwe all have at least one picture of all our kids that makes us laugh. 

So, I'm starting the funny picture contest.  Everyone please, please post pictures of your kids!  Make us laugh!

I'll get us started with this funny one (or two) of Jonas.  He was rummaging through my closet and found a box.  Inside what do you think he found?  Well, it is Jonas, so no matter what it was, it could be transformed into a cape.  He was delighted with his new cape...What better cape than this lovely floral lingerie?

Kari, Kari, Kari

Happy Birthday Sista!  When we met and I realized you would be absolutely perfect for my cute brother... I had no idea how perfect you would be for me too!  You are such a fabulous friend!  I love you so much.  I love that you answer the phone when I call (most of the time :) and we can talk about everything.  I love how you help me get through some pretty crummy moments by understanding that I just need to talk to someone about anything.  I love how you take care of your kids.  I love how you take such good care of my brother.  You are an amazing woman!  Hope your day was as awesome as you are!  LOVE YOU!
