Our eating adventures....

Do not let this picture fool you! The only reason Ellie is smiling, is because she was able to once again push it all completely out of her mouth! She has learned to blow raspberries. But not because she's trying to be cute... like most children... because she's trying her best to get that food out of her mouth any way possible! She either blows raspberries, or spews it out like a volcano, or just lets it sit there on her tongue till we turn our faces, and then spits it out with a smile! James and Glenn are right there with me, trying to coax her into eating this delicious meal... she knows better! But at least she's still smiling! We've got some great sour looks on her face too on video clip, that are SO worth viewing! But they're too big to post here :-( Oh well, use your imagination! :-)

Glenn got his name and patches put on his Gi, and he was so excited that he came right home to put it on! Of course then James had to put his uniform on, and as you can see, they were having a great time showing off their moves! And Alex was right there with them! We didn't need to choreograph anything... he just followed exactly what they were doing. You should have seen him try to do James' kick... totally put his head and hands down on the floor and put his feet up on the couch, while yelling "Hiyah!" Watch out for Alex everyone!

Here's the boys together... happy as can be. They do enjoy doing karate together. Yes, they practice it together at home more than they should, but it's all in fun. They just love being together.

James, Alex, and Ellie all got a nasty sore throat and horrible cough last week. Of course they all took their turns in sharing the love, so it seemed to last forever! But when James was feeling fine, we headed down to karate, and just sat in the car and waited.... Glenn and I have Ellie driving lessons... I think she's going to be pretty good! Glenn loved taking pictures, and was taking pictures of everything in the car... thank goodness for digital cameras!

And lastly, is a picture of Todd after his last bike race... thought it was a classic... he was not in the posing mentality, because the women were lining up and he was yelling at me to get going, and stop taking pictures! But I'm glad I waited... thought this was a good one! He is caked!

Well, that's about it for now... I went to a blogging class last night, and it always inspires you to lift a little higher! So, I may be changing a few things... let me know if you like, or dislike! Hope your week goes well! And for you midwesterners, I mowed my lawn yesterday! It was a beautiful day! :-)
