My Dad-e-o

Another visit has come and gone.....

His visits are never long but the kids always know what to expect and so do I....

Lots of laughter and a few tears when Grandpa wins the war! The boys are already planning their attact for the next visit and Brylee is still waiting and wants her Grandpa to come back over tonight.

A Lesson in Cinnamon

A post for Rebecca because she asked so nice :)

When we first moved to this lovely Ice Box we were sitting in a restaurant and I offered the kids $50 to whoever could tell me who was singing the song playing in the background. Brett shocked his mama and guessed it. What???? A Johnny Cash song. How in the world does he know him??? First I made him feel sorry for me, second pleaded with him to settle for $40 and then I opened my wallet and paid up.

Now you know taking money from me is Brett's favorite game. But remember this mama learned her leason.

On a cold snowy weekend day Brett was ready to take my money again.

For $5 the deal was.....

Swallow one simple teaspoon of cinnamon. Easy Peasy...right???
Jake was ready to take my $$$ too
my poor boys
Look at those faces the money is already burning a hole in their pocket. Talli is the amazing photographer that captured the cinnamon breather...Look at this super cool picture of Brett not taking my money. That is right! I am a mean mom. Silly boy you can't swallow cinnamon!!!!
I had one mad boy! "It burns, my throat hurts, gag, spit."
At this point I feel bad and I open my wallet and he took my money again.
The end!

Talli-Alli

The first familar face in Wisconsin! Talli drove 8.5 hours to spend the weekend with us.

We all miss her like crazy!!!

Ummm check out the pictures of her. She is super healthy and looks amazing. I sure like the new and improved Talli!!!!She came bearing presents

Jakey could not get enough Auntie lovn'
only took Brylee .5 seconds to warm up.
Brett is almost as big as Talli.

Pictures compliments of Brylee. Do you see how great Talli looks!!!???

Lunch with Jake, he was pretty sure he wanted to sample the coleslaw until he saw it!

Then luch with Brett.

Brylee tagged along while Talli and I saw Little Fockers. Mom of the year stuff at its best. Good thing she feel asleep 10 minutes into the movie. And Talli loves the way she says the movie title ;)

and last but not least we went out and had a very expensive but not very tasty dinner!!!

Miss you Talli!!!!!!!!!

Miss. Mommy

Brylee is such a little Mommy. We play Mom, Teenager and Baby hour upon hour while the boys are in school. The girl cracks me up. It is her favorite game in the whole world. She likes to be the Mom and a Baby Doctor. But sometimes a Hair Cutter Girl.

Last night she asked me "Does a Hair Cutter Girl or a Baby Doctor make more money?" After the answer she is sure she will be Doctor when she grows up. The twins...Jack and Krystal Carol. Jack is the naughty baby because he is a boy!!!
