Pictures???? Uploaded??? On MY Computer????

Wow! I can't believe it! I just thought I'd give it another try and try to upload some pictures. And miraculously it worked! I haven't been taking many lately, but here are a few.


Here are my three cherubs Sunday morning. They all were being cooperative for a few pictures which is RARE!

Here is Brooks beside a dead turtle. Sadie and I went on a walk and saw this turtle in the road. We rushed back to get Brooks so he could see it, hoping it wouldn't disappear before we got back. When we got back to the turtle, I then realized it was dead. I wondered why I had never seen a turtle's head sticking out so far before. Duh!
Sadie and Brooks wanted their picture taken with the cows- but it is so dark you can't even see the cows.

Let's see.... Cobe won his third football game on Tuesday night 13-0. They played against Holland in the pouring rain. It was hard to watch because we were freezing and everyone had umbrellas. Today my dad and I shopped for awhile, then I brought him home, got my mom, Brooks and Sadie, and then we shopped. Nothing too exciting- both trips were to the new Menards. I am a sucker for Menards. I love the random stuff they have that you wouldn't expect a home improvement store to have. Then I went to church tonight to teach, but the kids stayed home with my parents. Cobe and my mom worked on a book report that he has this month. It was nice to have him get some of that out of the way. He has to make a mystery box. She worked on Brooks' homework with him this afternoon as well. It is so nice having her here for those reasons- the kids do learning activities the whole time she is here. They read, color, write, make projects, play games, etc. Never a dull moment with Nana around! My dad spent the day doing projects around the house which was super nice. He hung shelves in our garage for our many shoes that get left out there and he hung some pictures as well. He thinks he got Ryan's sickness and wasn't feeling the greatest today. My parents are actually going to leave tomorrow instead of their original departure date, so we will be sad without them. They need to get back to take care of some things.

This weekend will be fun for the kids. Friday night Brooks has a birthday party to go to and Cobe gets to go on the field with his football team at the East/West high school game. They both are excited!!!! Saturday Cobe has a football game- his last regulation game before the two playoff games start. And then I'm sure we'll head to the parade in the afternoon if the weather is nice and the kids aren't too whipped. Sadie is supposed to ride on a float, but I think we are going to postpone that until next year.

This week at Cityside has been spirit week. Tomorrow is clash day so I need to go pick out my tacky outfit! :-)

Did he know the turtle was dead when you took the picture? He doesn't look phased. Hang onto that picture, the kids will probably get a kick out of it someday. :)

Love the picture of your little cuties on the porch, but the turtle is kind of nasty! I agree with Lynette, we need to see your clashing pic:)
