Photo Update :)

Adam

We were laughing our tails off.  Sara said come over here and give me a kiss.  

Aman turned to walk over and give her a kiss.  We both started dying laughing. 

Playing catch up!

Sorry it has been so long since I posted anything on here.  Things are going really great.  Boys are back in school.  Adam had his 7th Birthday.  I feel so old saying that.  :)   There really isn't too much else to report.  Thursday is Halloween and I will try to get a picture of the boys dressed up on here.   

These are Adam's buddies from the party.

VBS

The boys had VBS this week at the West Union Christian Church.  They loved it!  They did a lot of singing through out the week and watched a few skits put on by the volunteers.  I took video of the kids reenacting the skits they saw and I took a video of the closing program.

Spring Soccer and Spring Baseball

Adam just finished his last baseball game.  His coaches were Ryan McGuire and Tim Sanders.  He loved it.  Adam did really really well for it being his first year.  

Adam started soccer while school was still going on.  He did pretty well.  Not so sure it is his sport.  The running and chasing the ball really wore him out.  His coaches were Jeff Pearce and... not sure what the others name was.  I always just called the other Mary Graces Dad.  

David is Tube Free!

We took David's tube out yesterday.  We are all very excited!  He has had that tube just about 8 years.  Today is his first day without it.  

David in his Hulk Hogan Pose!

Snow Day!

 It is so rare Marshall actually has a snow day.  Today is the first one I think we have had all year.  Most kids would want to play in it.  Mine just want to play Ipad and dress up.  :)  

Boys Camera

The boys have a toy camera.  It takes pictures and sometimes it is hilarious to look at the shots they get.  There are lots of pictures of the dog, tv, David, Adam, and random shots of things going on in out house.  Here are a few.

Me with my computer.  :) Imagine that!

David is 8!

David had his 8th Birthday Party at the Marshall Bowling Alley.  He loved it!  David usually doesn't have much of a Birthday party since it is so close to Christmas.  This year we made sure he had as big of a party as he wanted.  :)

David, Josef, Marcus, and Adam

ONE LONG WEEK!

Aman has been sick all week.  He is having issues with kidney stones.  Today it has been a whole week of him in pain.  He lost 18 pounds is just starting to eat regularly again.  Needless to say it is getting stressful around here.  Saturday his brother is getting married and I hope he passes this stone by then or it might be hard for him to enjoy.

The kids had parent teacher conference yesterday.  Both boys are doing really well.  Adam needs to work on not running in the classroom.  David is needs to work on math and his writing.




Anyway I got away Thursday and went with my Mom to Beef and Boards.  It was a pretty good time.  Got to see The Church Basement Ladies.

Adam turned 6!!!  Adam wanted a angry bird party.  He helped me make him a devils food chocolate cake with chocolate icing.  He is a very good helper.  

Adam loves the purple angry bird space bird.

So I made him one.

  

Adam had friends come over and join in the fun.  Cannan is in the brown jacket and Bryce is in the camo.  

Adam got lots of goodies.

Including Teenage mutant ninja turtles.

We just got home from Bumpus Reunion 2012.  It was a good time. There were 4 wheelers everywhere.  :)  

Chef Adam and Artist David

Aunt Jill likes to sew.  She made Adam his own chef hat and apron.  She also made David a creative apron. They really love them.  I put the video of them opening the packages on here so Jill can watch.  I couldn't email the video it was too big.  

Funny Boys

Yesterday the boys and I were cleaning the house.  All of the sudden this guy named Bob showed up.  

He looked very familiar.  I asked him to help clean the living room but he said he didn't live here.  Bob left and Adam showed up.  He asked who I was talking to.  I said well he said he was Bob.  Adam started laughing and said oh okay.  We finished cleaning the house and went to play at a friends house.  


Later after we got home we were making supper and Bob showed up again.  This time he looked a little different.  

I told Bob he would have to leave that it was supper time and his family would wonder where he was.  All of the sudden Bob started laughing.  He said goodbye and left.  

Next thing you knew David came running in laughing.  

I hope Bob made it home safe.

Helping Grandma Reta

When I was little one of my favorite things was helping Grandma Reta.  Before Memorial Day Grandpa Richard and Grandma Reta would make sure the flags were put out at the Walnut Prairie Cemetery.  My siblings and I helped with putting them out and bringing them in.  I don't know if we did it all the time.  But I know I remember doing it with Grandma Reta.
So this year when it came time to bring them in Grandma called and asked if Adam, David and I would like to help her.  So we all loaded up in Grandma's Jeep and went over to church.  Grandma explained to Adam what to do he took off running.  David was helpful but not nearly as excited about the job.
