Dishes

These dishes were given to me by my sister. I like them, the boys, especially Zach, will not eat off of them, they are too busy for him I guess. Kids are funny.

Happy Birthday Zach

Today we celebrated Zach's birthday. It is actually on the 29th, however, Rob and I both have to work next weekend. He chose to eat at Texas Roadhouse. It was YUMMO! They did the big Texas Yeehaw! with him sitting on the saddle. He sure doesn't like attention drawn to him, but he did it. We had the most awesome waiter, he was very on top of things, and yet we didn't feel as though he was constantly watching us. We then had cake and ice cream to finish the day. Zach chose Chocolate Fudge cake and Chocolate fudge icing.

We had a great Lords Day Service, then enjoyed the day together. Zach also got to pick his birthday gift. What a fun day was enjoyed by all of us.

This is the life.

This is the life. This is Miss Angel aka Princess. If someone is laying down anywhere, she is there. She especially loves it when someone has this blanket--or one similar. Rob's Aunt made it for me at Thanksgiving. I love it, and so does our little princess. She is a funny little dog.

A day in the life of my fishermen. The boys got to try out the boat, with the trolling motor. What fun they had. The last picture is the part that makes me the most nervous. I can't hardly watch any vehicle put the boats in the water, and then get them out. I always think that they will just go on in with the boats.

Exploring, making butter and waiting for the train.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the Indianapolis State Museum. It was a nice day spent together. You can't see well but, evidently the mamoth was hungry for some cherry coke. Isn't ot nice to see your son is taller than both you and your husband.

New Colts Stadium

Crafting with the special package they recieved from Grandma. What a prize that little brown box was. These 2 absolutely love to "craft".

Robin, If you read this, I can not open your blog any longer. It says I have to be approved or something like that. HELP!

Thanks

The boys have been on Spring Break this week. Today I was off of work, and Rob was able to take the day off. We had a great day all together. We spent it at the Indiana State Museum, and also watched an IMAX 3-d movie. What an experience. I'll post more later.

This is Zach outside the Minnetrista Center. This is where we went for our fabulous "Grossology: The (impolite) science fo the Human Body" field trip. It was scheduled for a day that I couldn't get off of work, and Zach was distraught, then we had the ice storm, then the snow storm, school was delayed and the field trip rescheduled for a day that I was off. He was so thrilled. It was a fun field trip. I rode the bus with Zach, it was nice to spend a day with him. We had fun. It was quit an interesting day to say the least. I didn't get pictures of everything. There were some places I wish I'd taken pictures and didn't, but that is normal for me. Enjoy the next few pictures.

The entrance to the Grossology exhibit. What a day we had. Too much fun for me.

This, I'm sure was Zach's favorite place. The toot sound machine. He is all boy and enjoys the sounds of the body. He has always been this way. Crazy kid. Not that this is somehting to be proud of, but he can out burp anyone at any time, on demand if needed. Now, don't get me wrong I do not encourage this behavior it just comes natural to him. He is all boy.

A lambs brain. It was fun to learn about the different areas of the brain, and how they work.

Fun times standing inside a nostril, waiting for it to sneeze on you.

Giant operation game. Fun times exploring the human body.

Shooting pollen into the nose. It sneezed when it got too full. Yummy!

Nigel the Snot faucet. Nice huh! It was real interesting when he talked and he would have a huge "snot bubble" coming from his nose.

Did you know that your body produces 1 quart of snot a day. Yummy fact, I know.

Climbing the "wall of skin" Full of all kinds of great things. Warts, pimple, cuts, scrapes, moles and bruises.

Let it snow! NOT~

Well, it has been snowing since yesterdy at around 9 am. My husband worked a full day, was able to come home from about 4 pm until 11 pm yesterday. He has been out working since then. I should be cleaning my house, so that he doesn't come home to a disaster, therefore, I will go for now.

Have a safe day.

2008 ice storm

Pictures of the ice storm we just had yesterday. The boys got out of school early, and then didn't have school today. This is the first day they've missed for weather. This weather is crazy, it is March after all. The stick Zach had in his hand he picked up from our yard, and as you can see we accumulated quit a bit of ice yesterday. I was in awe as I drove home from work. Some of the pictures I took driving home today. I know, real safe right?! :) I really wanted to capture some of the awesomeness of it, but the pictures don't tell too much. It looked to me like a scene from Narnia. THe wildest part of this is that on Monday we had 60* weather.
