Imaginations at work

We have a new rule at our house. No television on a school night. We also have culled the toys a little bit. It has been so peaceful at our house since we did this. Hardly any bickering and no knock down drag outs. Anyway, the twins hauled a box out of the basement and turned it into "Arbys". Take note of the menu, they had clippers, a computer, a tv, and numerous other silly things. Josh and I were going to ship them to grandma's, but we decided that it would be to expensive to ship 140 pound. Grandma said she would not accept the package unless Ryan was in there too.

Sick Boy

Ryan came home from Vicki's early on Friday because he was running a fever and had a rash. The fever finally went away on Saturday night, but he still has the rash today. I took him to the doctor yesterday and they said it was some sort of viral thing. Here is Ryan and Daddy sleeping when I got home from work on Friday.

Engineer School

My sweet husband is away at Engineer School this week. He left yesterday and with be home on Thursday. Please pray for him as he is studying. There are a lot of rules and regulations that he has to learn. The test will be on Thursday and his test run will be on Friday unless something changes between now and then. He is so excited! Do you know how much more horse power there is in a locomotive than a Semi Truck? Me either, but I pretend to be as excited as he is. I am excited because it makes him happy.

I'm Holding On

Josh has been putting Ryan on his shoulders that last few days, but has decided that he needs a hair cut so that Ryan does not have so much to hold onto.

Sitting Up

Ryan is sitting up a little bit. He still doesn't have complete control, but he can last a little bit. Part of the problem is that he would rather stand. I didn't get a picture of it, but right before this, he was standing straight up unassisted.

Soccer

Nate and Cliff had a soccer game in Grant on Saturday afternoon. They both really love the game and are doing so well. We are so proud of them. Here they are with their coach Bill. We really appreciate him. He is very good with the kids.

To Grandma's House

On Friday Ryan's Vicki was sick with the flu, so he got a spur of the moment visit to Grandma Taylor's house. The rest of us went after work/school and spent the night. Nate and Cliff road the bus home from school and did very well on their own for a few hours. They are looking forward to doing that more. Here is Ryan and Daddy telling Grandpa Good Morning. They were the sleepy heads. Everyone else had already had breakfast by the time they made it upstairs.
