Dear future daughter-in-law,

I'm teaching him right and at a ripe young age. He already cleans up well and can vacuum fair enough. Soon he'll be able to whip up a fancy meal and do all the household laundry, too. I hope you appreciate my efforts. Have pity for your brother-in-laws wife for Tyler is much more stubborn and I fear he harbors a lazy streak. You're going to be very lucky - thank me.

Sincerely,

your future mother-in-law

We went to lunch after Monkey Joe's at the mall. You can see Ben and Justin would rather starve than interrupt their Yu-Gi-Oh duel!

We weren't here alone. Tammy was with us with Maddie and her friend, Brielle, and Matthew. Her friend Jenny came with her son Austin. So, you could say we were 4 brave adults (Cheryl, Ben and Cody's mom, too) to go tromping around town with 9 kids in tow!

"I hit the jackpot, baby!"

This has got to be one of my favorite pic's! This is Cody and Tyler - they're 'tight,' to say the least! And, like two peas in a pod!

Wheeeee!

That was fun!

Justin's turn!

He's so proud of what he's made!

lollipops just keep getting bigger these days

Justin with his chick that poops gum balls when you wind it up. Silly, but the kids get a kick out of it.

Easter treats!!!! The Easter bunny was creative this year!

Tyler with his car and ribbon - neither kid made it to district but they had a real good time.

Not a clear pic but a good angle. Right now Justin's car in the lead but, I believed it bottomed out once it hit the straight-a-way.

Tyler with is pinewood derby car - skateboard, I mean. :)

Joshua came in crying because he took his gloves off to play in the snow - they were red and puffy and very, very cold. So, I sat him up at the sink and we warmed them under cool running water. And he got to play in the water, too.

Lunch time. I like it when I put good ideas to work. I learned this one from Grandma. Hamburger buns, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices - broil about 3-5 minutes and enjoy mini pizzas!
