GLASSES

Bailey has got glasses now. I think they are cute on him and he actually likes them. He is excited that he is able to see the baseball now and maybe he can hit more balls. He didn't do bad before but if you know Bailey , he is ALWAYS trying to do his best plus some.We went to his Blue and Gold banquet last night and he received two more awards. Chris took my pictures so I am glad this one turned out . Chris says I never blog about him, how he knows I have no clue because he is grounded from the computer and has been since after Christmas. I told him the only things I have to blog about him is how he lays in bed all the time and gets ISS at school . No, he is a great kid. It could be 1,000 times worse. his ISS's were from talking, boy does he love to talk and in Math at that. he says he is bored.kids, they are fun and I am sure I will miss all the dramma one day,but then what will I blog about? Toodles:)

Sleepy Time

Tellis and Avery were asleep one night and I had to get a picture. They never get along until bed time. at bed time they fight and fight then all of a sudden I guess they get tired and gust go to sleep so of course I had to capture the one and only time there is peace in our home, BED TIME!!!

Awards

OK so this background reminds me of that movie The nightmare before Christmas. Not my fav. but I am sure I will change it by tomorrow? who knows.

Friday I went to an awards ceremony for Bailey. He received one of the two Math awards in his class. Last year Chris received the same award for the whole 7th grade. (Nerds) So I went to another awards ceremony for Avery and I am thinking " just what can a kindergarten possibly get an award for. There were math, science, reading and a few others a total of 6 in each class. The teacher calls Avery up and says," we would like to presents this award to Avery for showing responsibility. He takes good care of his belongings and always follows directions! Now that was a huge surprise to me. Chris and Bailey have to be beat to clean their rooms . As a matter of fact, the boys got their report cards the other day and Bailey got Five 3's,one 4 and a 2. of course he was devastated to have gotten the 2. didn't pay attention that the teacher NEVER gives out 4's but was upset about the 2. The reason for the 2 was because he leaves papers and books laying around his desk and is messy. What the heck is that. anyway kids are so funnnnnnn:)

Go Steelers!!!!

We went to the Holt's house and watched the Super Bowl. If you know Irwin at all you know he was flying way above all of us. he was soooo excited to be watching the Steelers. I hate to watch sports on T.V. but all the girls talked and glanced at the game a little until it got to the end. It was actually kind of exciting. Jen was for the Cardinals so that made things fun. Steelers were up then the cardinals came back and were winning, and let me tell you. Irwin was holding the rage in as Jen was taunting him from a distance(so funny). so when the steelers came back and made the greatest touch down, Irwin almost broke the chair. Ofcourse we won and I got to take home a very happy husband because Irwin is not fun to be around if his team looses. to make it better earlier that day he watched duke play and they won. What are the chances of that . so any way Steelers are #1:)
