Coby riding his bike

This past week we were lucky to have Tommy home with us. He goes out for a couple of weeks and he comes home for a week most of the time. Anywho, our neighbor came over and asked Tommy to fix his training wheels for him because they got bent. (By the way, they call Tommy "Mr. Fixit." Coby says Daddy can fix anything. I think that's really sweet.) So Tommy fixed the neighbors bike and thought he'd ask Coby if he wanted to take his training wheels off? Coby said he'd try it but if it didn't work then Tommy would have to put them back on. So Tommy took off the wheels and gave Coby a couple of pushes in the yard and Coby picked right up on it. He never fell and we were so proud of him. I just had to put up a video of him riding his bike without his training wheels. He was so happy but now he thinks he's Mr. Big Pants because he's not staying on our road like he's supposed to. We have a little park around the corner from where we live but it's right next door to this guys' house and I don't like Coby going down there by himself.
Our poor little neighbor is the same age as Coby and when he saw Coby riding he wanted to try it to. Tommy took off his wheels and pushed him in the yard a couple of times and he was doing good until his dad came out. His dad wouldn't let go of the bike and he was making his son really nervous. Needless to say we had to put his training wheels back on. I'm sure he get it soon.

Is your dog okay?
Yay for Coby on the bike, but please don't let him go to the park alone. I worry too much about freaks.

It wasn't that cold on Thanksgiving day but we decided to wear our coats anyway and we look good!

I couldn't keep the kids inside! They enjoyed themselves though. Since they were already outside I took pictures of them in their own habitat.

Look how awesome my dog, Sandy is! She is a red nose pit and american pit mix. I was told not to get this kind of dog but we did get a book on this breed and did some homework. Come to find out they are very good family dogs and very protective which is what we were looking for. With Tommy being gone so much I feel a little better being here by myself. When she gets to know you she's as sweet as she can be, but she does do her job well by keeping me alert when someone or something is in my yard or at my door. We all love her to pieces!

I forgot to update on Lexie's thumb. The doctor said that she had an infection but he gave her antibiotics and told me to keep it clean and bandaged. The skin had swollen a bit and the doc said that if it didn't go down then I'd have to bring her back in to get the skin scrapped off. I really hope I don't have to do that!

They had so much fun that day. They were doing cannon balls into the ditch. They loved it!

The first day of school Coby came home with a bag of goodies to welcome the kids back to school. Isn't he so cool?! I was calling him "Hollywood'.

Easter of 2008, but I promise you we still look the same! With Tommy gone so much this was the last family picture we had taken. Of course I couldn't get all the kids to do right. This is the only picture where I had 2 out of 3 kids sorta looking at the camera.

Nap time

Nap time
I couldn't resist this picture. How they all got to sleep at the same time is still a mystery to me. This rarely ever happens in my house. Usually I can't get any of them to take a nap. I was even surprised my oldest jumped up there and fell asleep. My dog, Sandy thinks she's one of the kids. Aren't they precious?
