American as Apple Pie ;)

Here are our new family pics...Which only took us about three months to get back. Don't ask. We didn't have the brilliant idea of having pics with all our exchange kids until after some had started leaving :( So since then we have been trying to get them done when they come and visit us again. (The ones we missed) Here is our family pic with Niklas. He was our first exchange student. He was with us when Wes was four and Ryann wasn't here yet. He is still part of our family, and we love seeing him when we can.

This fun pic is all of the grandkids walking down the lane.

Here is my favorite one Grandma Barbara with all her great grandkids.

Ryann loves looking at "her" cows in Grandpa's corral.

Hot Pink Disaster

OMG....I can't leave this child alone for a millisecond. Wesley and I were discussing what to have for lunch and while that was going on, a very quiet Ryann was "playing" in Wes' room. Yup...you guessed it. I went to work on lunch only to hear Wes scream..."You're not gonna like this" He was chasing Ryann and trying to keep her from touching any and all surfaces in our house. I HATE arts and crafts supplies!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear I have an eye twitch from her and when they deem my officially crazy you all will know why!!! I couldn't see having any other kid, but I really would like to renegotiate that parent's curse.....I think they were a little too harsh on me! I wasn't THAT bad! ;) I am tremendous fear of what her teenage years are going to be like....hopefully she will have all this worked out by then...or else Lewis and I have been watching a program called Beyond Scared Straight...it will be that or the Nuns (that is what my mom scared me with and I am not even Catholic!)

One the other hand this is what Wes does when I sleep and leave the camera unattended :P I have two different kids. 

 Best duck lips ever! :)

Is that a Black Eye??

I left Ryann with Lewis for approx. 10 min. the other day and pulled back into the driveway to this.

I was freaked out because at first it looked like she had a black eye. Nope. She just managed to do what she does best...find dirt. Lewis said she had been throwing it over her head and had gotten some in her eye. She obviously rubbed her eye to take care of that problem. :) My water company loves her, and the soap and shampoo industry have been doing wonderful. Thank You Ryann for supporting such noble causes at this tender age.

I had to laugh while I was looking at Old Navy online. I had read about this mistake a few weeks back, but I think that the way they handled it with humor is awesome!! That is why I love Old Navy :) Make sure that you use your apostrophes correctly or they will get you too!!!! ;)
