William has finally lost his broken, dirty-looken, hollowed tooth! He pulled it out while watching a movie with his sister. I am so happy it came out! Grover and I were worried. Now he walks around with his tongue in his tooth hole. Kind of like this dog...

Petri dishes are ready! Time to collect nasty samples. Family computer keyboard. Grover is lightly rubbing the swab across the surface in a zigzag pattern, so that all of the creatures on it have a chance to rub off onto the petri dish. Eewh! Next we did the toilet seat. *Swab-swab* That's a good boy Mr. Holbert! Rub off creatures. Plug your nose! William's stinky man feet! A week later...

Items needed to build the same model yourself; 1. Handicap Toilet Seat (we just happen to have one around *eye roll* ) 2.Ladder 3. Leaves to make your garbage bag pillow. 4. Two clay pots. You too can be travelling thru time in Julianne style.

The kids did their fist race ever. Everyone started off strong and then I ended up carring William on my back until he saw the finishing line. It was fun. Julianne won 3rd place for her age group. I am so proud of her. She ran the whole thing.

William says, "Mommy. Zombies are real. How it happens is that a person stands in front of the tv and then they get frustrated and they turn into a zombie. And then their heart stops and it gets rusty." And then Julianne jumps in and adds, " And then it turns brown and gets hard."

William for some reason thinks Grover emigrated from England when he was younger. This morning I heard him telling Julianne that when daddy came over from England he had to fight the Indians so they wouldn't kill him. And then he asked, " Is that right mommy?" "Um, no. But I'm pretty sure daddies ancestors did."

A few weeks ago I discovered that we had a leak in the roof. So I located it in the attic and then climbed up on the roof to fix it. It was a easy and quick fix. I sat up on the roof for a few minutes after I fixed it , and looked around. I noticed there were alot of rocks up on our roof. Weird I thought. Just the other day I was in the kitchen doing, well, kitchen stuff. And I looked out the

"How was primary today kiddos? " I asked as we got into the car after church. William tells me how when we die we go to heaven. Then Julianne says, "and then we are all stuck together for ever." Well, that's one way of looking at it.

I was visiting with a friend at church the other day. Julianne ran up to say hello while we were talking. My friend  had not seen Julianne in a couple of weeks and said, " Oh my gosh, you are getting so big Julianne." Julianne proudly straightened her back, pushed out her chest, and replied, " My mommy has gotten me pop out bras." My friend and I bust out laughing. Ahhh, they grow up (and out) so

This morning when I went to take off William's night shirt I noticed he had a rash all over him. "Oh no William, you have to stay home from school because of your rash." I told him. Excited about his day off he ran to find Julianne. As soon as he did, he pulled up his shirt and said, "Jan, I don't have to go to school today. See my bumpeddies!

On the trip back home this evening I listened to Julianne and William talk about how a baby starts to grow in a mommies tummy. Julianne was telling William that the baby first looks like a tadpole and then will start looking like a baby. William interrupted and tells Julianne that actually it starts off as a dot and then it's two dots, and then it's three dots, and then it is abunch of dots. And

This morning I woke up to William on top of me. Every time I would try to roll him off to the side he would get right back on top of me, stabbing me with his elbows and knees. I finally sat up and William, wide awake and smiling at me, says, "I did,'t want you to forget about me having to go to school today mommy!" William had a great first day in Kindergarten. His only complaint was that he

Julianne had a great first day in 2nd grade. She has already learned something new. She said, "Mom, this belt is tacky." (my mouth drops open ) I teasingly ask her where did she learn that word. I get nothing but shoulders-up and head tilted giggles from her.

Julianne and I enjoyed a week away together. We got to take a road trip from Washington to Salt Lake City to visit family. And then we flew home to Florida. We had a blast!

This morning Julianne came into our room and asked daddy to buckle up her bra. "Thanks" she said and fluttered off. Grover looked at me and said, "I can't believe she has trouble bumps already."

This time Julianne got to have a make-up birthday party with her friends. They all were pretty in their dresses and make-up while sipping 7Up out of their plastic wine glasses at their Must Have Some Kind of Accent Salon. These girls are girly-girls and funny ones at that.

    William went to the dentist for the first time. He was so good, they took x-rays* they cleaned and polished his teeth* and then he was inspected by the doctor.

    Julianne was invited to go to Washington and stay for the summer and Grandma's and Papa's home. Here are pictures of them at the airport. William was a sad little guy so I took him swimming right after.

I heard Julianne asking Grover, "Daddy, does spaghetti grow on trees or in fields?"

The space shuttle went up early Monday morning. This is the smoke trail left behind. It looks like a dragon breathing smoke.

William had just gotten out of the tub and was standing in the living room drying his hair. What a goofball.

Easter keeps getting better as the kids get bigger. We ate the yummiest easter breakfast* the kids searched and found their easter baskets* played with easter toys* ate lots of chocolate* had a bunch of easter egg hunts* and grilled the rest of the day!

I was giving medicine to William this morning for his cough. He said, "Mommy, this medicine taste like germs, rotten germs. I think that medicine is for pimples."

I recently took the kids to the Science Museum and we had a bodacious time. They both crashed on the way home. This is William concentrating really hard. See the tongue. Julianne and William with their friend Ella in the tree. Building water ways. Playing with the hugest building blocks! Turtles and alligators in the background. Flying a plane.

"Mommy, Come and look! It's a hell's angel and a heaven's angel." said Julianne. Someone is listening during scripture time. Can you guess which one is hell's angel?

While playing Peggle this afternoon Julianne said, "You know, I'm kinda the Master at this game. I have only lost like twice." A few minutes later William came in and said to Grover, "This game is horrible, just horrible daddy. But you are very good at this game daddy because you stink."

Julianne came home from school with a piece of paper taped around her arm. It said to dress in vocabulary. It seems that Mrs. Cole gave each of the children the chance to draw a letter from the alphabet. Then they were to decide on an animal who's name begins with that letter. Julianne picked the letter "O!" Oh, joy, animals that begin with the letter "O!" This should have been such an easy

Grover designed a radiator to fit snugly into our fire place so we could get more heat out of the wood we were burning. Unfortunately, he had to make a few adjustments. It was all going OK, until the wheel of the grinder bit into one of the edges of steel, jumped out of his hands, and into his crotch! At least we decided to have children after William.

I went to check on William before I went off to bed and found that he had tucked his rock collection in bed with him.

It is amazing what children will glean from a conversation if they are not told exactly what every word means. We haven't discussed Martin Luther King Day at home, so I can only suppose that it has been discussed at school. And from a conversation I overheard between Julianne and William the other night, I must assume that Julianne's teacher, didn't explain that Martin Luther King's name is "

This morning I noticed the ants in the kids ant farm acting different. It was because they were cold so I took the ant farm over to the fire place and sat down holding the farm in front of the fire for a little bit so they would warm up. While I was doing this William came over and asked, "Are you holding the ants up to the fire so they will become fire ants?" I love how little brains work.

One night Julianne and Grandma were making bread pudding. They added ingredients, mixed and stirred it together, and when it was ready to put it into the oven, grandma asked Julianne if she was excited to eat some bread pudding. Julianne replied with, "Oh no, I'm not eating this goop."

We let the kiddos decorate the Christmas tree all by themselves and they did a beautiful job... They couldn't reach the top half of the tree, thank goodness it came with lights already on it.

Think about this! "The Wizard of Oz" is 70 years old. A remake would not be as good. If Dorothy were to encounter men with no brain, no heart, and no courage today, she wouldn't be in Oz, she'd be in Congress

"What does that button do?" I heard from the kiddos a dozen times. The pilot was real nice and turned the whistles and horns on for them. Wildlife is everywhere! One afternoon I was walking around the deck of my parents house looking around. I noticed some scat up on the deck. It was too big to have been from a domestic cat and too small to have been from a mountain lion. I went inside

We were waiting in the Albuquerque, NM airport for our connecting flight when Julianne yells and points over to the gate we are walking to and where the man is waiting to get on the same flight."Look Mommy, a wiZard!" For all who do not know, Julianne a big set of lungs.

"Mommy, Grandma and Papa are old and dusty." said Julianne. "Really?! Dusty uh...lol!" I said. "Well, just their bones are dusty." says Julianne.

Julianne was reading the cover while I was driving her to school. This is what she said, "Rubbin Williams Flubber". I was cracking up! I corrected her,"It's Robin Williams dear."

I changed this light fixture! I picked it out at Lowes, came home and flipped the breaker. I took down the old one. Read the directions and called a friend to make sure I was doing it right. Twisted electrical wires together and waa-la!!! And no fire!

*Julianne has been talking about Christmas alot this week* Last night when GP went to return some movies we had rented, JP ran and got into bed with me. Well, she is such a chatter box! She was talking about Christmas and how she was thinking about what to write for her list.

WP says, "Mommy, I want a fetch cookie." I say, "A what?" WP says, " A fetch cookie!" I say, " Oh, a fudge cookie." Yes...these are the newest and latest snacks I am polluting my children with.

We believe that church ball players should be punished for their own fouls, and not for unsportsmanlike aggression. 3. We believe that through bread crumbs, cheese, creamy soups, and rice all casseroles

EW wore this cute Baby On Board sign for the run. Picture of the runners. I think it's funny that it says AMAZING above LM's head. Waiting for the race to start. Coming up to the finishing line!
