Home made diaper



I left my mom without diapers when she babysat Jeff. I came home to him in a dish towel and a shower cap upside down with 2 leg holes cut out of it. Not bad......

Dads...


No offense to dads, but they do not have mommy sense. This is what I saw after Keith was alone with the kids for 30 minutes. Notice Karina is driving a John Deere.

Kids


It's fun trying to take pictures of 3 small children.....
This is Gaak's side, Jeff's back, and Karina at school.

Jeff at School



This is Jeff at school with Ms. Maggie, Ms. Laura, and his buddy Sydney.

It's Hot!


The only difference between Knoxville and Hell in the summer is a screen door.

Karina in costume


This is Karina after her big dance. She was so excited to wear her favorite color, purple, and make-up.

more in the fun


High fives all around after Jeff and I beat Karina and dad in a rousing game of rock paper scissors.

Nothing but fun in the big time water slide with a pump!

Stuff since Christmas



For a small fee hopefully one of your neighbors invested in this awesome waterslide. Note to anyone...My birthday 7/17 would be even greater with this tied up in a bow for me. Come on Mo hit the Big Lotts!

Karina is a Mushroom Fairy


I have been proud of my children, so many milestones, each an accomplishment. This was different. She is 4 years old in a dance production on stage at the Tennessee theatre. She is a mushroom fairy and was graceful and pointed her toes and knew the dance. I cried a little because she rocked the house!

More fun at Thomas. The little red, is Zach Mitchell, son of Addey and Chad. He is my god son and would keep him if Addey weren't so attached. Jeff and Zach love trains!! Karina loves Addey, so our trips in the Van of Possibilities are always a good time! Yes, I own a VAN.

Stuff since Christmas





We saw Thomas the Train with our buddy Zach. This was an awesome experience that Jeff will wake me up at 2 a.m. to remind me about.

Jeff in time out.

Stuff since Christmas



Jeff's favorite toy, Shake and Go. It's the best invention beacuse it is powered by being shaken silly.

Stuff since Christmas


This is how we said, "Bye-bye Babas." Jeff, don't tell Dr. Yen, still took a bottle to get to sleep. Finally we told him that the babies in heaven needed them back and we sent them into the sky on balloons.

Karina's friends at school. This was her last year in preschool. She starts kindergarten at ESK this fall. I am in denial.

Stuff since Christmas


One of Jeff's best friends, Hunter.

Stuff since Christmas



I bowled a 36 in 10 games. Karina and Jeff (with some help) beat me. Jason got a 180, big Mo and Bo did great as did Keith. I'm pretty sure Jeff beat Cakko. Bowling is not my strong suit.

Stuff since Christmas


Dying eggs with Aunt Mo!

Stuff


Karina and Jeff's buddys Hunter and Brady who are awesome and can defy gravity!

Stuff



Very successful Easter egg hunt.

More stuff


Karina did not find this as funny as Keith and I did. Dressing up your kids when asleep is hilarious!

Stuff since Christmas


Look closely....

It's been a long time





Keith got a MAC and I am not crazy about it. I am sure when I take classes I will like it better. So no blog for a while because I boycotted this computer. This is me taking a picture using the MAC.
