Made from SCRATCH?

On our way home from a walmart shopping trip:

Anna: MOM we forgot to get the brownies!

Mom: No we didn't sweetheart, we bought stuff so Daddy can make brownies from scratch.

Anna: I don't like scratch!


HAHA!!!!

Daddy's Girls

It always warms my heart when I find my kids behaving or acting like me. It gives you that immortal feeling that what you are teaching your kids today will be passed on for generations to come.

Yesterday at work Alaina called saying "Hey Dad you are going to be so proud of me!" Now see this is where my mind goes right to the buckle your seat belt and hold on tight mode… I respond "What did you do sweetie?" Alaina in her proudest voice "Well, I went to the doctors today and they tried giving me a shot, so I passed out!" Already I can feel a little warming in my heart I silently say "that's my Girl" and then she finished "… then on the second shot I threw up!" Full Celebration mode kicks in - YES! pumping my fist in the air! My Sweet girl is JUST like her Dad!

Anna has ALWAYS answered the following question like this…
Who made you smart?
Anna - "Mommy"
Who made you pretty?
Anna - "Daddy"

Thats what its all about -

Stick Man

Here is the long awaited video of Nolan on Halloween this year. Teresa, his mother, made his costume and she did a great job (she always does). Anyway, I finally got it off my camera and the girls fixed it all up for our enjoyment. They did a great job and it is WAY FUN to watch. ENJOY!

Anna and her big Spider Man muscles. Oh my goodness was she excited when we found this costume. She had it for a few weeks before halloween and had to put it on almost every other day just because ... well in order to be Spider Man you have to wear the costume sheeesh!
