Need a Laugh?!!


I have no idea what this goes to, but I found it and it completely cracked me up. 
Matt and I like to quote from it.  It is hysterical.  
(Written by Shelby - and my best guess is they were playing school, 
but that still does not explain...)
After talking to Shelby about this paper, she said she was trying to make it interesting, 
like she was in 10th grade. ~ :)!

Cake and Ice~cream

Colesy wanted chocolate cake with no icing and chocolate ice~cream.
I was able to talk her in to a pan of brownies.  They sure were yummy.
She was also in charge of putting her candles in.  She got a little carried away!

Pool Party

After every one arrived for Colesy's party, we realized that we had invited 7 boys and no girls !  After much discussion, we decided that she should enjoy it now because in a few years, she wont be able to have a party like that! :)
Left to right, Gabe, Gavin, Colesy, Jared, Shelby (hidden in the mask!) and Ethan in front.  
The ones not pictured are Garrett, Graham, Micah! 
Amazingly enough, Kevin never hurt his belly upon entry!
What a mighty leap!

Birthday Girl!

Colesy is 7!!!





On our ride



Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I was trying to ride and shoot at the same time.  The path WAS bumpy!  The ones of the girls I was riding beside them and trying to get them in the shot. It was funny!  Colesy learned how to ride with one hand while on this ride.  She was so happy she said "Now I can scratch my butt while I ride!"  I thought I was going to fall off my bike I was laughing so hard! :) 

At the bridge..

Carol was very leery of the bridge. Its fun, but I cant watch the girls go across! :)
The girls climbed down to the river below the bridge.

12 mile bike ride



Yesterday, (Saturday), we took a bike ride to the swinging bridge.  Dan, Debbie, Tim, Carol and the 4 of us went.  Last time the 4 of us went with Kevin and the boys, we drove as far as we could and then biked the rest of the way.  This time we biked the WHOLE 6 miles to the bridge and then had a picnic and then biked back.  The girls did AMAZINGLY well.  We only stopped once on the way out and a bout 3 times on the way out (and those breaks were not at the request of the girls!)  It was fun, and we all slept great last night! :)

School Starts

Shelby got to go to school on Thursday (she wasnt sick...)  Her she is with her Tink messenger bag and a cheesy smile!
With the start of school, the boys have returned in the mornings.  Good thing they STILL like each other! 
Shelby, Jared and Micah
And hurry up! We're gonna be late...

Colesy's first day...

Colesy was sick the first day of school, so her first day was Friday.  I snuck her into her classroom before school started so she would know where to go.  She "needed" a big back pack because the rule is this: You can bring toys to school as long as they fit in your backpack.  She can bring 'em ALL now! :)

Colesy and Brennan

Look how alike Colesy and Brennan are.  They have the same eyes (blue with red center) same cute nose, and same lips - skinny upper, fuller lower.  Too cute!
