Kids Pictures are up

Emily has been busy working around the house. We finally moved and got up all the baby pictures. They are in our master bedroom.

Like the dusty top of our TV?!

Egg Hunt at grandma Corky's house (Lotsa pics)

We always get together at Emily's parents house for holidays. Corky always makes amazing meals! We are luck to live so close to family!

Dad and Ella's cheesy grins

Adam LOVES Legos!!!

Ella enjoying chocolate.

She isn't sharing, just asking for help opening them.

Potatoes

I thought it would be fun to record our kids funny eating habits. They all like their food prepared differently.

Ella

Ella is a little snacker. It is hard to get her to sit down for a meal. She is always eating, but just a little. She will eat just about anything.

She loves 'her' spoon

Ethan
Ethan LOVES pepperoni and beans mixed with rice. He also likes pasta with Parmesan cheese and butter, pepperoni pizza, hot dogs and potatoes. He doesn't like sour cream, but does like "spicy" (pepper) on his potatoes!

Adam
Adam loves potatoes! We do "Cheesy Potatoes" in the morning. They are grandma Schultz's especiale! He likes his baked potatoes in a bowl with butter, cheese, sour cream and salt. In that exact order! He likes the sour cream to cover the complete top and will spread it until all cheese and potato is covered. He also like cheese quesadilla. We have tried to sneak beans in, but he hates them and won't eat it. He likes pasta, plain with salt and butter. He loves Oreo ice cream "3 scoops" with chocolate sauce for dessert.

In his school lunch, we put a sandwich with pickles, mustard and thin shaved turkey with the crust cut off. He likes a sliced orange and a Chewy bar.

None of our kids drink milk. Emily hates it and so do our kids.

Kathy and Family Driving thru

Kathy stopped by our house on her way to California! We love it when people stop by. It was SO great to see them. We missed Todd. Adam and Ethan love their cousins. Adam frequently asks/tells us that he is going to live with his brother, Tayson.

Ella and Sophie were so cute together. They are so close in age and both have two big brothers, which seems to make them two peas in a pod. It will be so much fun watching them grow up!

Our house is like a glorified truck stop. Small, dirty and a lot of fun! We do have showers! Well, at least one nice one.

The girls in the tub

Famous Danny dinner! (Not really)
Okay, so we just picked up Del Taco because it was a Tuesday night.

Cheesy grins!

Everyone enjoying tacos, quesadillas and burritos!

Pillow Fight!

We love to have pillow fights! Emily bought some nice decorative pillows a couple years ago to make our master bed look nice and fancy, but we have found a better use for them. Every school night we have 'The Plan' , which usually involves homework, bath, teeth, books, TV and ice cream and PILLOW FIGHTS! We have had a couple minor injuries, but the boys love it so much that they shake off the bumps and bruises pretty quick.

Ella loves pillow stuffing. She has one pillow that she is dissecting now. It is "Ella's Pillow'. She managed to put most of the stuffing out of one of our couch cushions and had pulled out the insides of a couple stuffed animals. One funny story was when Emily brought her visiting teaching with her and she came out with some stuffing! oops.

Adam just got a good whoopin'!

Ethan is going to get a smack down.

Now that Ethan is down I can get Adam again. The boys love to get thrown too, but I am 'old man' tired so I avoid it.

The cycle goes on and on. I will try to get a picture of one of the forts we build. They don't usually last long.

Adam Vacuuming

This is the first time Adam has ever vacuumed. Pretty sweet that he has made it until he was 7. The bad news is you will be vacuuming the rest of your life!

There are a couple things that I love about these pictures. First is our rug. That rug has taken serious beatings and takes them like a champ. Emily did an awesome job picking it out.

Adam always wears long sleeve shirts. He loves them.

The only reason Adam is vacuuming is because he wants a friend to come over. He seems to summon an amazing motivation when he wants a friend over!

We have a towel over part the couch because that is wear the boys ripped the leather and Ella pulled out all the stuffing her little arm could reach. It was a slow process. It took her months.

There is a shredder by the TV because we have to put it in front of the PlayStation so Ella won't mess with it while Adam plays it. We would shut the door, but it overheats.

Adam's baby pictures are on the wall. Until a couple weeks ago those were pretty much the only family pictures we have hung.

Grandpa Glen's trunk in the corner. No one would ever recognize it because it was covered with a sewn mauve cover.
