COSTUME CONFUSION

Can you tell what we're gonna be for Halloween, because I sure can't. And yes, Jaydie came up with his little get up all on his own. Do you know what he's trying to pull off here??

JUST SOME STUFF

A craft idea that I "borrowed" (okay, completely ripped off) from my friend Joy. Aren't they super cute??
This dude hardly ever naps anymore and yet he fell asleep on the couch the other day. What I want to know is, what disease does he have and which one of you gave it to him?
Jaydie's fourth tooth was finally set free from the root that was binding it. Praise Jesus for all the toothless grin pictures I can get now!!

HAPPY AN-NEVADA-VERSARY!!!

Well, thanks to Jesus we are celebrating the big 1-4!! Fourteen years of wedded bliss!! That's right, we got married when we were 15, that's why we look so young even now. You can bring your gifts over whenever. Isn't this the big-fat-diamond anniversary?? Anyway, I love you Sweetie and I am soooo thankful for you...here's to 14 more!!

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE

One stubborn little fella was yanked out by Jaydie himself last night. I wonder how long it will be before its neighbor meets the same fate. Jaydie might be a hill-billy for Halloween. Only time will tell.

ADVENTURES IN BOY LAND

I have no words for this.

Seriously, could these teeth be any more ready to come out? Rob even pulled out the pliers (sterilized, of course) and still these puppies won't budge. He bumped them the other day on his bed and was bleeding from his teeth; I thought I might vomit at that point, but still they won't come out.

GOOD TIMES WITH GRAMMIE...

At the parkie.
In the yardie.
With our babyie.
Having some foodie.
Oh yeah, and this is just gross (ie).

Did I ever tell you that we end everything with an "ie"? Well, we do, and we learned it from Grammie (see, there it is again). Whether it's milkie in the morning or nigh nightie at night, we prefer to add an extra syllable to our words. Because it's fun and it makes us happy, that's why.

Sincerely,
Sweetie, Cari, Grammie, Jaydie, Nolie, and Yenner Goo (I don't know what happened here. There was a breakdown in the system.)

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME???

Here is my baby 8 year old!! What in the world? His tooth is hanging on for dear life, I don't know if you can tell. Oh the joys of being an 8 year old.
This picture is silly and a little scary.
Our little buddies met us for birthday donuts.
What was I thinking taking a picture when there's a donut in front of the child.

One of many embraces between these two.

Happy Birthday Baby!! We are so thankful for you Bub!!

THE PACKAGE HAS ARRIVED

Jaydie took this high quality photo of Momma and I. I think he may have a future in photography; what do you think?
Don't you just love how everyone is coordinating in this picture. I mean, even Grammie's purse, and we didn't even plan it. I think it was God ordained.
Although this picture isn't the best, it really captures the moment. Here they are running to embrace each utter. Believe me, the tears were already flowing here.
Jaydie made this signage for Grammie. Can you see what it says?? "Welcome to are state agian!" Isn't that so funny?? I'm still laughing about it.

At long last I've finally got something to blog about. Momma has come and we are soooo thankful. A big thank you sent out to Grampie for letting her go and Nana and Papa for dropping her off at the airport. I do want to apologize though because we are not going to be sending her back. Sorry about that.

JETS, HELICOPTERS, AND PLANES, OH MY

It was a tad windy at Fox Air Field this day. Does it count for a homeschool day if we were there for a total of 15 minutes?? Field trips in the AV; it doesn't get much better than this.

P.E. FOR HOMESCHOOLERS

This boy's got rhythm.

This homeschooler is going to be physically active AND socialized. Hence the P.E. class and the 15 other things we're signed up for. After the class he says, "I sure worked hard today." And I say, "that you did Jaydie, that you did."

MUFFIN PIES

Here are my little muffin pies "planting flower trees" for their Momma. Because who else would they be planting it for?


You know those little seed packets you get from those flowery trees?? Well, the boys decided to "plant" some for me right in the middle of the yard. Am I gonna have those trees sprouting up in random places??

SAFETY FIRST

The children have been totally enthralled with Daddy's Signature goods. They dream about these little red machines and ask a few times a day (okay, constantly) to ride them. If you ever want to be completely freaked out and nervous about 3 boys on speedy little cars, then come on over to my house. The rule is, only when Daddy's watching. So I just sit in the house and pretend like they're out there playing a friendly game of tag or something of that nature.

AND WE'RE OFF...

I know this is like salt in the wound for some of you. Sorry.
Aunt Hallie made school bus cookies for his first day. Way to appeal to his primary love language Aunt Hallie!!
The school year has begun and we are off and running like horses out of the gate (I don't know). Jaydie was very excited about school and when we were done asked if he could do more, so that's a praise!! We're praying for no meltdowns this year (from me, not so much Jayden), and hope that you'll join us in that. In return I will keep blogging. Yep, I'm a giver.

CHALK IT UP

This right here is THE main reason for homeschooling....the most beautiful chalk board in the world!! I'm thinking about homeschooling myself just to get more use out of it. Are you as pumped as I am about this?
