My Dad makes up quizes for the boys. So the boys decided to make up a quiz of their own. Leave your answers in the comments.

Lets Go Zonkers!

Noah says . . .

Yesterday, I was at the Great Mall w/the boys and a girfriend of mine (who has two boys). (Pics will be downloaded later.) We took the boys into the pet store. After we got out of the pet store this is the conversation:

Eli " Can I save my money for a parakeet?"

Me "One pet at a time dear. Remember we are saving up for a dog"

Noah " But we don't have any pets. . . . . Oh wait, do we count?"

Noah's Pics

Noah likes taking pics. But I am noticing he likes taking pics of Trevor more than anything else. :) He actually took the pic of Andrew in the post below. Maybe he needs his own camera.

Labor Day

We hung out at Mom's yest for Labor Day. Lots of good food. And plenty of family time. Andrew and I did a good job of fighting over Tyler. It had been 3weeks since I had since Tyler and I deserved xtra time. (So I thought) We started hashing out the holiday schedule. I appreciate that my family is willing to be so flexible to make sure that everyone is present for holiday celebrating. I know some of the girls at work don't have families that are as flexible. Even though I had a slight melt down, Sorry Andrew and Mom (who took the brunt of it), I think we have it all figured out.

Okay, I know some people like the slide shows but the girls at work can't see the slide show b/c they are blocked on the hospital computers. So, I posted some pics regularly instead of a slide show ( which would have been easier) so that they could see them. I am just trying to be fair. So sorry to Trevor and those who don't like to scroll down. And Jenn just ignore all of this since you DON'T read the caption anyway!

Ball in Motion

Eli was taking pics of the tennis ball. I was impressed that he actually got it in the air.

Rocks!

Lucas found some rocks by the tennis courts. He told Eli to take a pic so I could post it on the blog. Why? I don't know. I blame my Dad. He takes random pics of random things. So this is for you Dad. Noah told me today that he really misses you. Come home soon!

Skate Park/Tennis

The boys and I went to the park on Sat. It had a skate park and tennis courts. I took the pics of Noah/Lucas on the skate park. But Eli took the tennis pics. I was mortified of the pics of myself so I will spare you the horror. It was hot but fun. We are trying to do active things instead of tv or video games. You can't tell in the pics, but any of you that know my boys- they were dripping w/sweat by the end of the hour at the park.

The new car!

First Day of School!

In the slide show, if Lucas is in a green shirt, then it was the first day of school for Noah and Eli. The pics w/Lucas in the brown shirt are his first day of school yest. It was harder than I thought to leave him. I stayed to help w/his first project. It will be nice to be able to help in the classess more this year. And Lucas said the funniest thing yest when he was finished w/his first day of school.


Lucas" Guess what mom, I DID NOT get detention on my first day!"

What???? :)

Ist day of School

Funny Stuff

Okay, I have a few more funny things that the boys have said this last week.

Regarding the Olympics:

Noah "My friend Caleb says Michael Phelps doesn't like to win gold medals. He likes to win the silver."



Noah "If I was in the Olympics. I would have a hard time finding you in the crowd."

Me "If you were in the Olympics, I would make sure you could hear me cheering for you."

Noah "I would be able to hear Uncle Andrew!"



Lucas was sitting in my friends stroller and said "I need my beauty sleep!" And pulled the canopy over to cover his face.



Regarding my NEW car (pics to come after I pick it up):
Lucas "Is it one of those not so cool cars but is kinda cool on the inside?"

Last Night of Summer

Okay, last night was the last night of summer vacation. So, Jenn and I took the kids to SaddleRanch for dinner. you should have seen the look on the hostess face when I said 2 adults and 5 kids. She was THRILLED! After the long debate of which waiter to unload us on, we were seated while we were waiting for Jenn and the boys to show up. I mean, if you are going to have kids eat FREE ALL DAY Mon-Thurs what do you expect. The boys enjoyed hanging out. Jenn and I sat on the far side of the booth realizing that we were not important. Top pic: all the boys in the HUGE booth, 2nd pic: Lucas liked going under the table- so I took a pic of him, 3rd pic Noah and Jordan getting eaten, 4th pic- explains itself.

Camp

Okay, the boys went to camp in July the 13th thru the 17th to be exact. And I know that was FOREVER ago. But, given I am a busy women w/other things to do besides remembering to develop film. I FINALLY got their pics developed. So enjoy! Eli obviously likes taking pics of himself :) And I am humbled when I see what others do w/there blogs, so I thought I would try my hand out at the slide shows. It was EASY! And now you don't have to scroll to eternity. And no captions needed since SOME people don't read them. Not to name names JENNIFER. Anyhow. I am off to the pool. I am feeling jaundice and need some time in the sun like Tyler.
