Yet another trip to Oskaloosa!

We have make 3 trips to Oskaloosa f0r weddings over the course of 4 weeks. Whew! We had a lot of fun! It is always great to see good friends and get to go to these wonderful weddings!

On our way home - this last time the boys were deciding to be awfully silly! I had the camera and decided to take a few pictures... Here are some fun collage pics of the boys' silliness... Robert kept "hiding" from the camera... but couldn't help himself and would laugh and peek! Silly boy! C was just a goof ball! :) Going from the blank stare to the "thinker" to just smile!

Goofing off in May :)

At the end of May we spent a fun day goofing off. The boys enjoyed "pumping up" and being "buff football players" and E enjoyed just being cute! :)

From Robert's "Graduation"

Yay! My first collage! Here is Robert's "graduation" collage... He was so proud... It was awfully cute...however... really? One family brought a huge bouquet of flowers and were going out for an extravagant meal... This would be why we were informed of our "duties" as a parent of a 'graduate' ! :)

Some More Hilarity :)

Oh my boys...

A couple of weeks ago I picked up the two youngest kids from daycare... There had been some really nasty weather that had come through and it had really rained hard. When we came out to the van I noticed some nasty greenish black sludge that the rain had forced out of the drain pipe. I told the boys to watch out and not step in "that gross stuff".

Robert of course had to tell C, our 2 year old foster child, that he needed to not step in it! :) C, started pointing at "the stuff" and said "Gog! Goggy! Goggy puke! Goggy puked mommy!" He was trying to tell us that he thought it was Doggy puke... Robert in his infinite wisdom then told C: "No... no that isn't right... God wouldn't puke from heaven down to this earth! you are wrong!" It was all I could do not to laugh outloud!!! :D

Bless him! My little genius!

Older quotes from a 5 year old :)

We decided we really should write in a book of all the little quotes that Robert shares with us..

Back in May... Here's a keeper!

...so our 5 year old had a 'day with mommy day' today...we were on our way to pick up Rodney and he says 'so mommy... When we pick up your husband can he read my adoption book to me?' I said 'you mean daddy?' he said 'yes your husband!' Bless that child...


Robert graduated from Pre-School on May 19.... Now keep in mind... I think it is great... but really ... I must rant for a moment... parents make way too big of a deal of this... Here is his quote...

The evening of graduation he informed me that we HAD to give him some flowers and take him out somewhere special ...oh..and get him a motorcycle which he kindly offered to put a side cart on for me to ride in.... Since he, afterall, graduated last night...from preschool... Priceless child! :)

Quotes of a 5 year old

Oh Bless my precious child!!

We were on our way to Iowa this weekend for a wedding and a song came on the radio. The words go.. "I've got a couple dents on my fenders, a couple rips in my jeans.."

Robert has started singing at the top of his lungs... "I've got some dents in my fingers got alotta rips in my beans!

Silly little boy!

My First Post!

So I decided to take the plunge! Here I go! We will see how well I do with this.... I really hope to keep this up to date.... I have some back logging to do... I am looking forward to seeing the memories that I am able to post and keep record of!

I am sure that as I understand how to do blogs and create my page better that things will fall together much better as I go!

Here's to keeping memories!
