Jared decided he was going to be taking pictures of everyone.
Marilyn came to town and made this awesome baseball cake for an auction that night. Little did we know that most people went and bought cakes and we didn't even stay to see how much Marilyn's went for.
We've learned the trick to how Marilyn stays so thin...she never stops!! She plays with our kids nonstop. They love Aunt Marilyn and so do we!
BOY CAN SHE JUMP!!
Playing in the mud pit! Mike again found the boys in a huge mess! HMM! I wonder why it's always when Mike is in charge that these things tend to happen....and of course Nate is naked....again!
Josh and Jared showing us the before of their eggs. We used dyes and stickers...so simple, but the boys loved it!
Nate saying cheese. I'm glad he has gotten the hang of pictures. What a cutie!
This was a great picture of all three boys. Nate is half naked, Josh has his tennis shoes on and Jared put flip flops on over his church socks! Got to love it!
I know that this is blurry, but this was the highlight of my day! It was Jan. 14 (my dad's birthday)and I had to be readmitted to the hospital and Nate gotten himself stuck in the heat register. Mike also got video of it, so we will have this on record for ever!! These pictures look like we have huge heat registers! I still can't fathom how Nate got himself so far down in it.
Nate learned a lot of naughty things while I was in the hospital. Granted, I was in there for 17 stinkin' days, but did he have to go and grow up on me so fast. One of things he learned was how to take off his diaper. Mike finally took packing tape and put it around him a couple of times. Here Nate is trying to get himself out of bondage!
Nate also learned how to turn off the lights, but couldn't reach to turn it back on, so he climbed up on one of the chairs, but couldn't get down. Looks like a good timeout place for Nate.
Joshua wasn't quite sure what to think. This was his best picture!
Jared loved every minute of talking with Santa Claus!
Obviously, Nate had a whole bunch of stuff to tell Santa.
We couldn't ask for cuter boys! Thank goodness I got them hair cuts
Every year I take a self portrait with my boys and the hats! Here is one with Nate.
And all my boys! 
I think Josh is our dramatic candle blower outer. Last year's picture of him blowing out his candles, we could see his tonsils. At least he only looks like a monkey in this one..haha! Mike did a great job on the cake since I was under the weather!
Josh loves maps and books about space. This is a huge map he has on his wall now! Last year at his other school, there was a map on the ground of the United States. At recess, kids would line up by Josh and he would tell them which state to go stand on. 
Here is Mike and Nate enjoying the view. Actually Mike has been chasing Nate around and around and around....joys of being a parent.
Joshua is making sure he doesn't step over that line! He does a pretty darn good job at getting that ball down the alley! We love Joshie!
Don't I look like a pro!?! To tell you the truth (and not to brag or anything), but I bowled the highest game out of everyone there that day! It must have been the shoes!
Jared loves to go bowling! You can tell he's trying to point the
Here is Aunt Marilyn...what style, what grace!
Skinny Cheryl strutting off here stuff. This is my sister with her hot blue ball!
Momma Moss showing that she's still got it! I don't think she
Uncle Denny has just as much style and grace as Aunt Marilyn and
Here is me and 3 of my 4 sisters. They have a Turkey Trot every year. You can either do a 2 mile run/walk or a 10K. Heidi(she's the one on the right) and I had been training to do the 10K, but my stinking Ulcerative colitis decided to flare up and I didn't get to run. I still got the sweatshirt and Heidi put my timer on her shoe and she did a great job getting a wonderful time for me!
