Leah turns 8, how can that be??????????

Leah not only turned 8 but had her first confession in November.  So she turned 8 sin free.  Leah is our blond beauty.  She is extremely sensitive and soft hearted.  Takes after her Grandma.  She still loves art and is very good at it.  She makes excellent grades and is the best Big sister to Sissy and Charlie.  We are better people because of Leah in our lives, she is my heart.

More funnies from my angels

The other day, Leah's guinea pig, Bob died.  Charlie asked Brian, why is Leah crying?  Brian said it was because Bob died.  Brian said to Charlie, why don't you go give Leah a big hug and tell her you are sorry.  Charlie looked at Brian and said Why?????????  I didn't kill him.  He is sooooo funny.  I think I know what his calling is going to be.

 Here is another funny story.  The other day, after quiet time, Dylan, Sissy and Charlie were enjoying their snack at the kitchen table.  I was sitting with them but was kind of off in my own world, listening but not listening when I heard Sissy say to Dylan you have to count backwards and then Dylan said I can't count backwards.  Well, while I was looking at Dylan, I heard a little voice counting to 10, I turned to Charlie who was sitting on the other side of me and saw Charlie turned around in his seat counting, I asked him what he was doing and he said he was counting backwards.  I thought I would fall on the floor laughing.  The three kids just looked at me and was wondering why I was laughing so hard.  Charlie couldn't figure out why Dylan couldn't count backwards.

Me and three of my comedians.  Anytime I sit down, I am never alone.  How can life get any better than this!!!!!!!!!

Kylie is 8 !

Kylie is 8, I cannot believe she is 8.  Our sweet 1st born Granddaughter turned 8.  She asked me for an American Girl doll, because Leah has one and they want to play dolls together.  So we got her an American Girl doll for her birthday and she was very excited about it.  Where have those 8 years gone.  I can't believe my girls will be 8 this year.  Kylie will be in 2nd grade this year at Fox.  She is a caring, thoughtful, bright, beautiful 8 year old.  I love her soooooo much.

Vacation to New Orleans, June 2011

1st day - After driving about 30 minutes Charlie announces to Mom and Dad, I see New Orleans, he was only about 7 hours and 30 minutes early.

1st Rest stop - Charlie calls his private a "trunk", like on a elephant. Charlie went to the potty and then told his dad, I am going to watch you daddy, as Brian is peeing in the urinal. Charlie looks up and says, Daddy why is your trunk so big? Brian laughs and then the urinal flushes and Charlie is upset that he didn't get to flush it, it was an automatic flusher, Brian tells Charlie that there is a monkey in the wall behind the toilet and always flushes it when you are done so now we hear all the time the monkey flushes the toilet. Too funny.

In New Orleans we had connecting rooms with Brian and Mary and the kids, since each room has 2 double beds, I volunteered to have one of the three sleep with me and they would take turns. Everything was good the first night. The 2nd night, Bob's snoring was so loud I couldn't sleep and there was nowhere for me to go, so in desperation I took 3 pillows and some beach towels and slept in the bathroom, finally some peace and quiet.
