The latest and greatest!

As you can see we are learning some new things.  I'm posting this under David.  I have just learned how to put pictures on our blog.  These are a little old.  Ashlyn is wearing her princess dress and loving it.  Grant has just had some hot chocolate and is sitting in front of a campfire and loving life.

We have enjoyed having a visitor in our home the last few days.  Dave's mom is here to see the kids.  They love her.  Ashlyn is constantly climbing up on Grandma's lap to read books.  Grant has played "Memory" with Grandma a few times and has even beat her.  Grant is really good.  He is always helping out his opponent with a smile on his face.  

Well, here goes.  This is me making an effort to learn something new.  I still have a lot to learn, but I have to start somewhere.  I can post, but still need to figure how to put pictures on.  I like the background you can now see.  I disliked the other one.  

We have been busy with the usual things of life.  Eating and sleeping.  Also, cleaning when it has to be done.  Oh, and changing diapers.  The fun never ends.  

Here are some highlights about the kids.  They really like Chuck E Cheese's.  We had to carry them out screaming.  They love Lightning and Sally the best out of the Cars toys we got for Christmas.  Grant likes his new Primary class.  Ashlyn is very cute and sneaky.  They are sound asleep right now and that is one of the best times of the day for me.

Granty Poo-foo's spitting on the candles of his dirt cake

Someone should teach Granty Poo-foo how to properly blow out his candles. Since this is a dirt cake and there are already worms crawling up out of the dirt, a little spit shouldn't hurt, right?

UFO

Nobody is quite sure to what species this creature belongs. Grant says it's a flying squirrel. Lesli says it's a kicking swamphomper. David believes it's a shrieking, pointy-haired snoodle. Whatever it is, it's donkey kicks sure are humorous and enjoyable. You would agree if you watched the video.

Laundry duties

These hooligans ceased their shenanigans for a fleeting moment to help with the laundry. However, no matter how well-intentioned they might prove, hooligans always end up committing shenanigans. Watch the video to see them in action.

Ashlyn with bucket over head

This cute, curious creature likes to put buckets over her head. Don't believe me? Watch the video.

Ruffians in the cooler pool

These ruffians wanted to go swimming. But since their padre did not want to take them alone (Lesli was saving lives nursing that day), I set up the next best thing, the cooler pool. To them, it was as if they were swimming in their own little paradise. They loved it. My poor wifey-pooh wasn't as pleased with my bright idea, considering that she had just washed the cooler out a couple of days prior. Just remember this rhyme: If yo' chilluns are a fussin', the cooler pool's an option! Please rate my rhyme from 1 to 10; one being trite and foolish and 10 being spectacular.

Creature with oar

This creature aimed to do some boating with an oar he came across near the shores of Lake Ray Roberts. He got his wish, although it wasn't in a nice boat, but rather a tiny inflatable raft. He thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sleeping Creature

Our sweet little Ashlyn creature napping. 

This is the clan right before I went to Spain.
