Some weekend updates

Starting to get sick

Poor little guy started to come down with the cold that a couple of other peeps around here had.

Spending time with Aunty Coco and apple juice make things feel better.

The Birthday Celebration

Jess had the day off so he picked up these kids from school and got to hang out for supper, presents and to take part in our first successful Skype session!

Harlan tried to Skype with his sister Naomi earlier on Friday. It sorta worked but we needed to get a few things tweaked on our end. Around 5 our time 8p.m. East coast time Hayden called to see if Logan and Alyssa would be able to get on. The proper protocols were followed and we got to talk to them in real time! We played musical chairs in front of the computer so everyone got a chance to see and talk. It was GREAT to see their new place and their faces as well.

Birthday Greetings

Danika's teacher helped her to make a card for her dad. She's such a Vanna White wanna be.

Wyatt created his own card. I guess the candles on the front would count as 10 years each since the inside says "Happy 20th birthday Love, Wyatt"

Out for dessert

"Happiness begins with dessert" I guess we'll see about that.

Jess, the kids, Hayden, Cameron, Charles, Courtney and I went down the street to Applebees to treat ourselves to dessert after a yummy pizza and beef brisket meal.

I think this is the first time that the actual food looked better than ad photo.

Triple Chocolate Meltdown for the birthday boy.

Happy Henry is HERE

What a goof. He's following in the Wyatt/Rowan footsteps when it comes to his attitude toward pictures and his silly faces. Also in his enjoyment of the Wii.

Henry, Anabelle and Cherise were here for a couple of hours while Kiel was working. They were just swinging through town on their way north. Henry got some game playing done.

Little Anabelle got some tummy time in while being serenaded by her very own Schroeder at the toy piano. It was hard to keep Gar-bear and his germ factory away from her as he has a love for babies recently. We managed to keep them several feet apart at all times. Hope nobody else comes down with this crud.

Belle-belle didn't want to show off for us but she has starting to roll over. Such a little sweet pea.

Gramma and the Sugarlump

Cell phone photo of Anabelle and me. My regular little camera isn't taking much better pictures these days. I have an extended warranty on the thing but have to send it away to have it replaced. How can I be without a camera for more than a couple of days?

What's in the oven?

Garrett has decide we're having baked balloons!

It's a good thing he can't reach the knobs! I'm going to have to check carefully inside the lower oven before I preheat it from now on. It's not a bad idea to check the top one too.

You never know what you'll find!
