Since I've always just had Indie play soccer because that's what Lex does this season I decided to have Indie try something just for her. So she got to take a gymnastics class and she really had fun with two of her friends. Her teacher was great but had to keep reminding Indie to
"leave her sillies outside!!" Not surprising! But now that gymnastics is over Indie is really upset that she is not playing soccer also! Dang it! Well, I guess that means she will really won't to next season!

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT????




Thursday, February 21, 2008

Apparently they aren't exactly right on cuz here is Paul's.....

Take this test!
You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.


And here is mine..........
Take this test!
Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

I was at my neighbors grabbing something and when I walked in the front door this is what I saw. Lex and Indie had handcuffed Tadhg to the table. Nice.

Miss Olive is the toe grabbinest baby I have had yet! She LOVES her toes!

Lately my boys have really loved playing with each other. It is so great when your kids get along isn't it!?

Not much to say about this picture besides Indie is a maniac!

I let the kids decorate a heart cake for daddy on Valentines day. It was fun for them and tested yummy!! As long as you picked off the variety of candy smashed inside!

You might be a redneck........

If yunz build a campfire in yourn basement and leave the smoke a blowin ever where so all yunz clothes smell like the smoke..... Well, you might be a redneck!

If yourn son makes a bow out of string and a bendy branch he found in da woods and a arrow out of one of them sticks ya can buy at the Walmart for 48 cents.......Ya just might be a redneck!

And if ya letcher son bait for da neighbors chickens with the left overs ya found in the refrigerator and ya let him try and shot em dead with his bow and his arrow ....You quite possibly are a redneck!

If ya try and round up the whole flock of em and trap em between yourn two vehiculars and are still tryin to shoot em dead cuz them arrows-- they just won't stick....
Ya just might be a redneck!

But if ya letcher boy make a mini campground right outcher front door with a tent that is half blown, a tepee made of beatin' sticks, and some upside down rubbermaids for a sittin'.........Well, there is just no question--You a darn redneck!
