Haircuts For Everyone

So we all got haircuts, ok except for Brian, he's trying to keep all the hair he has, but everyone else did just in time for the summer heat.

Going Crazy

I guess this is what happens when you have to watch kids everyday for 4 hours and 2 hours of that is nap time, hahaha. No this is my handsome husband studying for his final exam, to FINALLY graduate him from college. I do believe he is trying the osmosis trick but sad to say it didn't work this time either, he'll just have to memorize it the hard way. It's hard to have kids, go to school, be dad, husband, and everything else. I am so proud of him and his positive attitude and how he can still be a little crazy sometimes, it makes me laugh, and we love to laugh!!

Chad Amazing Works

So this is Chad our amazing boy, we noticed him riding around his bike with his snake friend, we didn't know he could tie knots till this day, and he did a very good job knotting his buddy on with him.
Just an up close picture to see that he is on there really good, that bugger wasn't going to fall off his bike!
Speaking of bikes last Wednesday I (Marlene) got my motorcycle license (most of you already know cuz I was really excited) Anyway, I got to the test taking place and there where 5 other guys and their motorcycles and I came with the motor scooter, they were teasing me saying "big bike" and stuff I said yup. Well the instructor started to call names, the first guy went and made to many mistakes and did not pass and went home, the second guy started good but when he got to the u-turn part he crashed, he laid his bike down hard and skid across the road braking his mirror and blinker off his motorcycle. Needless to say the guys around me started talking and saying " man that reduces my confidence by 20%" I just told them I hoped they were next as the instructor picked up the pieces of the blinker. No such luck, Marlene was next. I was nervous to begin with and any of you who know me knows that now I am REALLY nervous the instructor was asking for my paperwork and when I went to hand it to him it was shaking. But anyway I passed and the instructor made sure to speak loud and say "if that scooter could have went faster you probably would have passed with 100%" Yeah that's right!!! Then those boys changed there tune, they started to ask if they could use my "big bike" one offered $10 to use it, but I was too happy and left in a hurry.

OK so these next pictures are what happens when Mother goes back to work and Dad is left in charge of the children. It's hard to see the beautiful art work Chad made when he was "supposedly" taking his nap. Trent said "that he was quiet and that was all that mattered at the time", lol, poor guy.

Needless to say his room will smell minty fresh when we are done cleaning it off the walls, so we don't have "stuck heads" at our house just HUGE masterpieces on the walls, and not on Sunday.

To Tired To Care

As you can see Brian really feels comfortable in his high chair...this boy loves to eat but when he's tired you just can't stop the inevitable.
Poor kid, but we had to get a picture before getting him to a comfortable bed.
Ah, there is our bright eyed little boy with very cute toes!

Oh so cute!

Here is a picture of the hats Chad made for himself and Brian and wanted to take a picture so we could "always remember" them. He's so funny. Some of the things he says makes him such a big boy.
OK I put this one so you could see ALL THOSE TEETH...good thing we finally have him weened (all mothers out there will totally understand my feelings).
And this is why he has teeth to carry around his favorite toys with him.

There's our handsome Daddy and his handsome boys!!!!!

See the Kittens

Here is Chad showing Brian the kittens that visited our home a long time ago...OK so I'm playing catch up, but when Chad has to use the down stairs bathroom he says "the kitties use to live here, where are my cousins?" He really loves his cousins and every time we get in the car he asks if we are going to their house.
What a good big brother, helping Brian stay up.

No Pictures




Well a lot has happened this last week, Sadie and Luke have been really fun but they go home tonight. Chad and Brian have been having lots of fun with them. They all took good turns when we did scooter rides down our street.

I feel bad cuz we don't have pictures of anything, no cousin fun, no Marlene's Birthday, no Father's day, but they were all really fun, and all the kids really had fun which is a joy to watch, I love to see kids happy.
On a good note we did finally get our roof fixed with the help of Trent's cousin Garrett (he really knows his stuff) they got it done in no time. Chad wanted to get on the roof so bad, but I think the only one who felt comfortable up there was Garrett, hahaha.
