Mmmmm.... ice cream!
Hangin' out at the new DQ. Fun!

It took a little convincing, but I got it working.

Last night's pic. Adam swinging round and round with Mason. Wheeee!!!

I am technologically cursed. The last two days, I swear, my computer is LAUGHING at me! First I couldn't get the photos from my camera to my pc, and today, that issue is magically resolved (since I know I didn't fix it!) and now today, I couldn't get my photos to upload to walmart photo, and NOW I can't get my photo to upload to blogger.

I give up, you stupid machine. YOU WIN!

Bowling in Gobles again!

(sorry bout the crappy pics... my !#$% computer will NOT connect to my camera. ARGH!!! So I am making due for now, but I can't crop, lighten, or anything else. Whaaa!!)

Mason found a quarter on the floor and asked if he could keep it. I said "yes, you can keep it, as long as you don't throw it"

A few minutes later, Mason was explaining to me how "I didn't throw it, Mom, I just made it fly up in the air and over THAT way!" LOL

Just relaxin'... watchin' Bob the Builder

Mason in his Thomas tent. ChoooChoooo!!!

Like Father...

Like Son.

A nice before-dinner nap.

The girls had their big talent show tonight, followed by ice cream, and then hyper wrestling with Dad. Good job at the show, girls!

The Birthday Boy!
Happy Birthday Great Grandpa Brouwer!!!

The kids' great-grandfather Brouwer (a.k.a. Big Hubert) celebrated his 95th birthday today with about 50 family members at the local bowling alley! These are most of his great grand kids with him. Mason wouldn't stand there... the little butthead!

Still bowling at 95!

Adam charming the ladies already. He stood there and watched her play and then she just grabbed his arm and said "come on! get in!" LOL!

Gettin Ready for Beddy

Adam talking up a storm while working on his puzzle. It's amazing how much he can say with that darned paci in his mouth!

Arilyn at her talent show rehearsal.

Adam getting into the music.

He's got some cool moves!

The boys watching Dora this morning... can you believe they're both holding still!? WOW

Mason showing Laetitia his "tricks."
He says "Mom, Tisa did dat, dat wook cooool!"

Donkey Basketball at the high school. It was SO funny! Check out the pooper scooper team on the right! lol

Arilyn's math teacher, Mr. Rommel. He scored the most points, in spite of his stubborn donkey.

Adam loved the donkeys...
and Mason wasn't too sure, but took a ride anyway.

Kiya (my step-niece?) wanted to go to Red Lobster for her 8th b-day, so we all met for lunch. Yumm! Here's all the kiddos by the lobster tank.

Adam-2, Mason-3, Kiya-8, Emily-9, Sunny-10, and Arilyn-11.

Arilyn's new glasses. Isn't she puuuuurrrrty!

No new photos today... so I thought I'd post an old one... just for fun.
Arilyn (6) and Emily (4) with Kaylee (3).

The girls posing with "Sven" at the shelter. Look for this pic on their website! :)

What stuffed animal?! I didn't eat a stuffed animal! I don't know what you're talking about!

Adam, Mason, and Megan playing their favorite game, "1, 2, 3, GO!"

Even Chris got into the game!

Well, my camera wouldn't connect to my computer for some reason, and then I just plain lost my motivation for a couple days. Sorry guys! :)

This is what happens when your sisters think it would be fun to do your hair and make-up and then take pictures of it.

Arilyn (in pink) and friends before the big
5th Grade play.
She did great, and even sang a solo! Good job, Arilyn!!!

Adam (and his boogers) really enjoyed the show too.

I just wanted to send Megan well wishes. Poor thing got so dehydrated from the flu that she's been in the hospital almost 24 hours. Get better soon, Meg!!! Adam misses you!

Here's Adam's stats from his 2 yr check-up today.

Height - 36 1/4" Weight 28 1/2lbs that puts him at 90th percentile for height, and 50th for weight. Tall and lean :)

Here he is eating Mommy's chocolate!
