Pictures, and Thanks...

Lucas that ham, this is how he was sleeping the other night I had to risk waking him to take a picture, he slept right through it! And I love the Man with a remote below... He loves changing the TV settings...

Fake smile, Fake sleeping... Yup Allie, is a faker! But she is a cute faker!

Thankful Tuesday? Well I guess I was thankful on Sunday but I never go to posting about it...
I am thankful for the good weather, especially since it isn't so Great anymore...but It is at least sunny today! I am thankful for SUN!
I am thankful for 3rd year to be so close to being over! And for Adam being such a hard worker. We love and miss him so much when he is at school!
I am thankful for Melissa, and for her hard work, for being a great sister and daughter and Mother.
I am thankful for my camera, anytime I have to use the old one (ie. when it is close and luke is funny) I realize how Very nice my new one is...Thank you Adam!
I am thankful that Luke is almost of Nursery age and soon he will be going there to play and be worn out every Sunday so Adam and I can get something done...Well mostly Adam, I teach Sunbeams and really can't take Luke but Adam has Young Men stuff and he never gets any of it done! Thanks Adam!
Well I guess that is it...I am sure I am more thankful but I am typing up a storm here and yo probably just came for the pictures! :O)

Me and a Very happy Luke

This was at a Dental school auction, Luke like the band but had about enough after 10 minutes, but Adam wanted to win a Wii so we stayed for the end and we didn't win, but we tried! Darn! Someday!

Grandpa's presents....

Thanks Melissa for putting together such a cool set of presents! The sign turned out so cool! And the Deere is awesome! I bet that makes the garage look totally Deloy!
Thanks for your hard work, we wish we could have been there!
Love you all!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Grandpa, We all love you and hope you have the best day yet! Wish we were there! I think we will make brownies in your honor! :O)

Dance Pictures day

Well today was dance picture day, since I am only buying the Group shot I took these Lovely photos when we got home... Miss Allison is a Total Ham! PS Allie is wearing more makeup than I have worn in my life....Yikes! How does anyone expect me to get eyeliner on a 4 yr old!

Below is my Favorite!

Calling Dr. Shepherd

Allie had a Dentist appointment today, Luke got his turn too! They had a fine time, Adam says family are his whiny patients... but Oh well, he is stuck with us! I even got a Parking ticket... LOVE Dental school! (like we don't pay them enough!) And lucky enough I remember my camera this time! On the way home Allie said I wish my daddy wasn't a dentist... I say why, what do you want him to be? Nothing she says just my daddy. She wasn't keen on the toothpaste! :O) Here check out the pictures from Allie's last cleaning mostly look at the difference in Lucas!

American Idol

For the first time in American Idol's 7 sessions, we are actually watching it...
Adam and I really enjoy spending our Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings watching some Quality TV together. Allie says when she grows up she is Going there! She wonders what she is going to sing...Luke sleeps happily through it most of the time.
I love David Cook... I was so sad about Micheal Johns, and annoyed with Kristy Lee, and Carly too...Sorry mom, I can't stand her stinkin' tattoo she seems to think the world wants to see week after week...
But it is fun!
Adam is all for David Archuleta, and I like him too, I don't really like Brooke White much Adam does though...and the Jason Castro kid is annoying also, Cut your hair buddy...it's gross... Syesha, is Ok I used to really like her, but now it is just ok whatever...
So that is my opinion, if you disagree, that is ok...
I also found the David Cook version of Always be my baby, and it is currently playing! I love it, I can listen over and over and over too it!

Oh and by the way antibiotics are great, Luke is doing better already, He was happy and ate today for the first time since Friday... Thank you Dr.Chris!

Double Ear Infection....

Lucas is the proud owner of a Double Ear infection... He believes either you do it All the way or not at all...
So we have meds in him and hopefully he will start feeing better really soon...
Allie on the other hand had a Ton of Wax... No infection! YEAH!

Thankful Sunday...

Well this week has been hard and trying...

But I am thankful that kids aren't sick forever even though Luke is really sick now and Adam too...
Beautiful weather Nothing under 63 for the upcoming week.
Screen doors...I love the breeze and the outside sounds... Except when I am trying to sleep.
Early Morning escapes... With the Football of course!Cute old neighbors, Emma and Jim they are the cutest! I have to get a picture of them one of these days... I love their stories and how they take such good care of each other...
Flowers
Love
Chocolate Chip Muffins! Yummy!Inventive Kids, Bucket Head and Dolly Plugger (we lost or misplaced the real plug and so Allie got creative!)Noodles from scratch, Cooking with my Allie! Messy and fun!Daddy time...Amazon.com...I got a Yoga DVD for $8.25 which in the store is 20...YEAH for go

Beautiful Weather...

Well, it is lovely out! I am totally enjoying being outside reading my book while the kids play, and we blow bubbles! It is lovely! Luke is loving the freedom! He found he loves to dig in the garden. What a boy. Allie is just happy as always.
We went out to a friends house who is done school here and so she was having a sale at her house, We go a set of MegaBlocks for 2 dollars! The kids are loving building towers together, Luke even has stopped destroying it all the time and he is loving helping build towers too! Not to mention throwing blocks! I also got some cute clothes for Lucas, and a couple things for Allie including a Cinderella doll those small rubber ones she has Belle, Ariel and Cindy now. Also picked up a can of Wheat and Potato pearls...
So it was a hit!
We also went over to the Airport and there is a little area you can sit on the lawn of a building and watch planes take off and land. (Grandpa if you come in Good weather sometime we should do that next time!)
Adam is working today at the Children's hospital... He loves doing that! So he gets home at 1 and I don't know what we are going to do but hopefully something fun!
We are making Chocolate Chip Muffins for Breakfast this morning so Allie is SO happy! But of course she suggested we add more Chocolate Chips!
So we are having a good Saturday! We hope you are too!

Go on Ruin it!

Allie is Sick! Of course, the first sign of good weather and SICK! She is coughing up a lung... Poor girl! So much for fun! Hopefully it won't spread!

NOT TO MENTION>... I figured out why this Terrible singer is STILL on Idol! Shoot! I loved Micheal Johns!

Cute kids!

I looked over at the table and what did I see, Luke wearing my sunglasses and staring at me....He is SUCH a ham! Gotta love him!























Allie had to have her glory too, of course so she yells Look at my tummy momma! Well of course her tummy needed to wear my glasses too!



PS, Postage Stamps are going up May 12th a penny... OF COURSE! But if you bought the ones with the Liberty bell, that say Forever, they will still work and if you go buy them now you will save a penny per stamp...Of course I still have Christmas stamps! Of Course!
But Hey the taxes are mailed and the line was only 4 people long when I got there when I walked out the line was to the Doors... about 20 people... Great timing!

Really that is Beauty...

Thankful Monday (hehe)

Well a day late, that is ok it is good to be thankful on Mondays too!
1. SUNSHINE....Although it isn't warm out at least the sun is shining...You can't always have everything..
2. Modern appliances... Random I know but I did some dishes by hand last night and I remembered how terrible that was to have to do all my dishes that way in a Kitchen Even SMALLER than mine with NO counter space, and No I am not kidding...
3. My momma, she is willing to let me just come over and stay because I am sick of being in the same place...Who knows if I will make it there but hey she said it was ok that is amazing since I have 2 crazy kids!
4. Naps...

For those of you in Dental school...

and those of you not... this is really how it feels from what I have observed and Adam has said... Except my perceptions of what Graduation will be...I am thinking more like Enthusiastic, Relieved, Ecstatic, Moving on! But hey that is just me...

30 minutes of entertainment in our town...

This is probably the most action the cops in our town have had in ages! it was so fun they decided to even let the K-9 get in on the fun... probably gave the boys a heartattack! The pulled them over got them out of the car made them sit on the roadside while one cop searched the car, the they called in the back up...that K-9 cop searched the car then the brought the dog out and let him check the car, he kept digging and digging in the front passenger side, but alas Nothing! They finally let the boys go home! It was fun to watch...and Of course I had to take a picture... I wish it had been nicer out so I could have had the door open so I could hear... Yeah we don't get much on TV...

And this was so cute from last night... Luke loves Allies leapster, he got up on her bed with it and laid down to play.. I love his concentration look!

Luke's cute dance

Luke LOVES super why! He Yells at the TV A...B... I... it is so cute, and he loves to dance too! I love how he knows right when the end of the song is... and PS, the little girl is Rylee our friends the Davis' little girl...

Allie-isms

Have to share two so funny things Allie said...
Last night we are watching American Idol gives back and Heart comes on... Allie says..."Mom I think that lady is singing a Rock and Roll song!!" I say Yup she is... Allie " YEAH! Rock & Roll!" and starts dancing around!

This morning I am brushing my hair so is she... Mom I want a different color hair...Me: No I don't think so how are you going to get a different color hair? "I will just go to Walmart, they have lots of different colors" Ok can't argue with Logic right?

Bragging & Laughing...

Well we are proud Aunt and Uncle to Nathaniel...He recently took some Iowa school test and scored the top 10% in the NATION for Science and Reading...Amazing! Congratulations Nat! We always knew you were a smarty pants!

And our Munich (Amy's Hubby, our Mongolian Brother in law) Was able to be an interpreter today for some Mongolian ambassador with President Bush... Of Course Munich is a total ham and he walked up to Pres. Bush and shook his hand and said hi my name is Munich, I am a Mongolian interpreter and I am also known as the good looking Mongolian. But I am humble...Well President Bush just Cracks up and the Secret Service people too...so after the little meeting Pres. Bush asked for a picture to be taken... Not with the ambassador but with Munich Alone! Munich said that P. Bush was very nice and down to earth and funny... ONLY Munich....But hey looks good on the Resume huh?
