Sick kids

My kids have been sick with the cough yuck. Jesse, Andrea, and Daniel have been coughing so much at night and in the first part of the day, I kept them home the last two days. After lunch though, none of them act like they are sick, but I also certainly don't want to send the sick to school to pass it around. Hopefull by Tuesday they will be well enough to go back to school.

Garage

We have financing to build our Garage. Alex and I are so excited. This is going to make such a big difference with how much room we have in our house.

We have decided to go with the Arx Building (concrete walls), we will get more for our money. Alex knows someone who can help with it. Everything seems to be coming together so easily, almost too easy.

The ULTIMATE game

Ryan was so intense playing the game, He didn't really know what he was doing, and doesn't get the game very often, however this time he wasn't letting go of it.
This just shows how much of an influence kids have on each other.

Ryan found my Old Purse

After a long day of running errands, and grocery shopping, taking Andrea to dance, I think we also did shots that day (notice the bandaids) - Ryan went quiet for a few minutes and came out with my old purse. He was So proud of himself for figuring out to how to carry it around, and this was a fun game ... before someone else noticed.
Learning to unzip the top compartment, he found all kinds of "treasures" left behind. I'm sure he found a stray m&m burried by old reciepts, (I had just changed purses a week prior).
His game was over when somebody else found that he has somthing fun, he grabbed his new toy and ran.

Boton pass-along

Anthony Loves to run the track, in fact he ran as many laps as Andrea, Daniel, and some with Uncle Jeremy and some with Jesse.

The Boton pass-along is a yearly fund raiser that the kids' school does. They use the money raised for things that the school would like to have and would not neccessarily have the funds for.

Daniel is so proud of how many laps he ran/walked.

Andrea loves to help her brothers, even with the most difficult tasks...a stuck zipper.

Jesse ran/walked 18 laps


Andrea ran/walked 11 laps.

Daniel ran/walked 12 laps.

Jesse Walking with Baby Ryan. Even though he really wanted to run with his friends.

He caught up with his friends eventually.

Daniel is in the red shirt ahead of everybody else. He loves to run, and is very fast. He also loves to be first.

Jesse Turns 12

Finally!! A pair of heelies
