Buying Crap

Today I was running some errands and I told Cole that we were going to the craft store and that he could pick out something to make if he wanted . He got all excited when we pulled into the parking lot and said "Mom, is this the crap store?" I smiled, tried not to let him see me laugh at the irony, and said "Yep, this is the crap store".

Buckeyes vs. Boilermakers

Brett took Parker to his first Buckeyes game on Saturday and Parker had a blast. Brett usually wears his jersey to the games, but had an OSU shirt on before the game and Parker came down dressed exactly like Brett. Same shirt, cargo shorts, hat, buckeye beads, etc. It was so cute that of course Brett couldn't change so they went to the game as twinners. Parker cheered his heart out (especially on 3rd down), sang every word to the fight song and Hells Bells by AC/DC, and had a hot dog. They had a great time.

Conference Sunday

I love conference weekend. I really do. I look forward to it. But, is it just me, or is conference Sunday night so BORING? Kind of like Christmas night...in my opinion one of the most boring nights of the year. All of the hipe, the anticipation, you have been together as a family for a few days now, have hardly left the house for 2-3 days, you have played with all of your new toys, have tried on all of your new outfits (twice), and it is only 4pm. All there is to do now is sit around and look at each other. Conference Sunday reminds me of this (except no new outfits...if I had a new outfit, maybe I would feel better...hmmmm...). We were so bored by the end of the day on Sunday. Brett and I ended up playing Yahtzee for hours and Brett made meatballs for dinner. That was it, just the meatballs. *sigh*

Cole's Surgery

**Disclaimer: There is a little bit of blood and a whole lot of pitifulness in this post. **

Cole had to get his adnoids removed and his turbinates trimmed down last Friday. He was such a trooper as he always is with these kind of things. We are hoping that he will no longer have a runny nose after all of the healing is done in about a month or so. He has had a nasty "Nickelodeon slime" nose for about a year and we are sick of it.

This first picture I could NOT get to turn so it was upright. Sorry. He is pretty drugged after the surgery and his showing us his new bear named Clue. He named him that because he has a "clue" on his shirt. For all of you parents out there who have kids who watch Blues Clues, you know what this means :0)

So pitiful.

This picture was before the surgery, but after they gave him Valium.

Grandma Sunday is Back!

Sorry grandmas :( I have been a complete slacker lately when it comes to the blog. I am going to attemp to do a little catching up right now. I guess I will start with some pictures that we took today before church. I still can't believe that I actually grew all of these little people. Do any of you mom's out there think that once in a while? I can't believe I was pregnant that many times... Maybe I'm the only weirdo :)
