Will's Question

Will to Mom yesterday as we are on our way to Bible Study: "Mom, why do all the roads come from our house?"

Are These "Gap Kids"?

These are the five pictures pictures I submitted to The Gap for their Casting Call contest. Of course I am a bit biased, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them in the finals. Does that sound just a bit too confident? I did look at a lot of the other entries and I do think I have the cutest kids in the whole wide world. I am just not sure that I totally captured it with these specific photos. What do you think?

You Can Tell Will Was Excited...

Joe and Olivia Looking too Cute!

Joe and Olivia suddenly wanted their photos taken today. I was happy to oblige. Will still wasn't totally into it. Next post...

The Andersons "Do The Puyallup" (Fair)

You can probably tell... We had LOTS of fun. We went to the opening parade and cattle drive, the rodeo and the kids even rode a couple of rides. We got there at 9am and left at 10pm. The kids were asleep in the car well before we got home. Thanks mom for joining us in the morning. It was so much more fun that way. Next time, we'll pay to park right up front ;-)

Update on Lifestyle Change...

I've been sick since the day after that post. With two different illnesses. Well, when this one passes, I will be at it for real.

Okay, now for my next lifestyle...

Okay,
This is it. I am going to make a grand plan announcement. I have decided to exercise. Regularly. What's that mean? Every week day. No ifs, ands, or buts. At least the 15 minutes work out. I can carve out 15 minutes right? Also, I am toying w/ no sugar again. I am not committing to that here, just contemplating. I have decided that this fall our family needs an extreme lifestyle makeover. Getting up consistently, healthy meals, time in the Word, and ORGANIZATION.

Feel free to email or comment and question how the exercise is going. I'll need the help.

Here goes nothing...

Recently Overheard...

Will to Uncle Johnny after dinner the other day:
"Uncle Johnny, I am going to go get a book and you will read it to me on the couch or I will give you stink-eye."
How's that for straight forward? I have observed that Will is very matter-of-fact and so very logical; a child after my own heart. Uncle Johnny did read. How could you not obey a directive like that? Love you Johnny

Goodbye Lola... (And Jen too) We miss you already!
