Party at Grandma's!

This post is from A LONG time ago when we still lived in Brooklyn, but my mom just sent me the photos. She has a video of the party, but I haven't figured out how to edit it to be shorter.

This is Love-A-Lot Bear (pink care bear)'s birthday party. We had eaten supper at mom's and the kids had headed to the basement to play. Finally one of us went down to see what was up and we found the table set and all the dolls out. This explained Ally running up-upstairs to get animals several times as we sat talking in the kitchen. We had to sing happy birthday to Love-a-lot. Then we had to each (even the stuffed animals) get served and eat our cake and ice cream. You can see Drew putting the ice cream (buckeyes) in the "bowls."


We wanted to leave but we were laughing too hard and wanted to know what she would come up with next. We also had to open presents that Ally had wrapped for Love-A-Lot. You can see below that Ally was so surprised at the lovely presents and Jason was trying not to lose his composure!

Daddy Hates to Share!

There are a few foods that Jason is reluctant to share. Mountain Dew, sausage, bacon, tin roof sundae ice cream, strawberry shortcake just to name a few...

Santa brought him some swiss cake roll - you know the 99 cent box of chocolate cake smeared with cream and rolled up. It makes the list of non-sharing items. I needed a snack one day for the kids and thought - humm that's a good one. Well my sweet teethed critters are just like their daddy. Ally had to open her big mouth when Jason got home to tell him about the cake that Santa brought him that she had eaten.


Now every night they ask for Daddy's cake for dessert. Now we have also Daddy's crunchy cake - aka Nutty Bars.

One of a Mom's Worst Nightmares!

Scissors - OH THE DAMAGE THEY CAN DO!!! My sister's barbie doll got a good haircut when she was about Ally's age! Ally insisted one day of practicing using her scissors. I held her off until Drew was taking his nap. He wanted his turn when he saw them - YIKES! She spent over 3 hours cutting all of our paper up. She was making "snowflakes" - aka a mess on the floor with confetti!


That day she was making decorations for the house. She has learned how to get the tape off the roll and we have art work up literally EVERYWHERE in the house!

Reading Like Angels!

Grandma Rhonda always tells me to get two of everything so they don't fight. Well most of the time I disagree and want them to "play" together without arguing - which rarely happens! Grandma Rhonda did get them EACH a Disney sticker book for Christmas which they have played with for hours. They each have their name on their book - and Ally lets us know when Drew has her book!


Our kids have always been good readers. Jason (I don't like to read) reads every night before bed to them. Ally brought him the Chronicles of Narnia one night and insisted - I think she got bored after the first page!

I remembered this picture from February 19, 2005!!! Drew was almost 4 months old and Ally was 23 months. Precious! I wish you could see Ally's pigtails that were only 4 inches long compared to the foot of hair she has now!

Breakfast Favorite

Our kids are funny little creatures. I know that their daddy likes sausage and know that they have gained a likin' for it. Jason isn't a big fan of sharing his favorites! Well for breakfast I asked them what they wanted. Cereal was the overwhelming respons: Drew and his chocolate and Ally the marshmellow Car's (Drew likes the box though).

For some variety, I saw the little smokies in the fridge and asked if anyone wanted a few. Cheers erupted from my counter. Those two little creatures ate a package of smokies in TWO days!!!! "Mo mokies mommy," Drew would reply after shoving the last one in his mouth.

It might not be the healthiest breakfast, but my critters need some fat on their bones to keep them warm in the upcoming weeks - if we get any winter!

Grandpa Charlie's New Toy!

I don't know how many times Chris asked for a four-wheeler growing up. My mom's response was always - over my dead body. Well my mom isn't dead, but she finally gave in after we all left. Go figure - she did the same thing with the cable tv.

I rode once with Jason but the cows were out so I didn't get to go by myself. I am a chicken of the silly thing doing a wheely because I started to fast. Ally thought it was super cool and loves to ride it. Drew didn't get a ride that day, but went to grandma's on 1/1 and rode it with Rachel. I am sure that he will drag us out there every time we visit!

Geocaching

Chris has got me interested in a new hobby, but Jason thinks that I am insane. He thinks that someone is going to blow me up. Chris has been playing with his friends in Omaha, but you have to have a GPS (at least it makes it a lot easier). He got one for Christmas.

Basically you go to this website (www.geocaching.com). You see if there are any caches in your area. There were like 12 in the Brooklyn area and over 500 in the Iowa City area. A cache ranges from a pill bottle to a little canister the size of your pinky finger. You find the coordinates of the cache on the web and then go on a sacavenger hunt for it. The GPS should bring you within 15 feet of it and then the rest is up to you.

Chris did several while he was here. We did a couple in N. Liberty with him. I found one by myself and Chris found the other. It is fun especially if you like hide and seek.

The other fun is watching the "Mugglers" trying to figure out what you are doing - especially the police man!

Cool Slideshows

Dirt Looks Good...

Aunt Lou sent the kids these shirts. Yes they are big but they didn't come any smaller. We have something to look forward to for Drew and Kaylee. Ally's isn't too bad if you roll her sleeves. Taking a picture with Drew and Ally is impossible and then with several adults with Drew and ally is also VERY difficult - add Kaylee to the mix and you just need to know that you will have to paste and copy to get a good one of all three. It just so happens that Ally was the cooperative one. Drew and Kaylee were about ready for naps and had an "excuse!"

Smith Christmas

Well this is gonna be a big post. I had it almost done last night until the internet world FROZE and I lost it - so here goes for a second try. I found a website called PictureTrail that helped me make the slide show. I thought it was really cute and didn't make the blog seem so big!

Smith Christmas is big. Noone wants to invite all 52 of us into their house. We joined up at the Ahren's center in Grinnell for some food - okay A LOT of food, laughs and catching up. There are kids running everywhere between the basketball court and the tumbling mats. My kids were in heaven with so many playmates! As Amy said - I like this you just have to make sure that they aren't the ones crying

The place was filled with blond girls everywhere!!! We will start with the cutest two - Ally and Rachel.

Cool Slideshows

New Blankets

Uncle Arlie made Ally and Drew new afgans for their rooms. Aren't the colors great! They are also really soft!

Santa Comes

I think that all photos should be banned from Christmas morning. I love my husband, but this is not his best side!



Did you know that Santa likes cookies and water???? Ally wrote Santa a note SEVERAL days in advance also. He wrote her back, telling her that she needed to smile lots today and say - Merry Christmas!

If you remember back, Ally told Santa that she wanted a Uniqua, Backyardigans radio and Dora bracelet. Surprisingly Santa came through. Santa gets the award for Ally's favorite presents! The radio had a mircophone that "works" and Ally sings really loud into it!

And More Presents!

Then we headed to the Smell Dud Ranch (this is not a spelling error!) I think we started a new tradition of going to Farmer Nick's for lunch - for those not familiar it is a local place ran by no other than Farmer Nick! I think that I might vote for the return of ham balls and sweet potatoes next year.

We headed back to Grandma Rhonda's house for presents. Grandma Rhonda needs a bigger living room. The kid's presents were in the basement. Here we landed our second John Deere phone and keys, but most importantly got Drew's favorite presents. Awards go to Aunt Amy for Lighting McQueen car (mom gets honorable mention - she bought it too, but we opened Amy's first) and to Rachel for Pueblo from the Backyardigans.

Willis Christmas

The Christmas adventure started on Saturday, December 23rd. It should have started on the 22nd, but Drew had pneumonia and I just didn't feel good. So we waited to head to Aplington until Saturday morning. We had a lot of fun and got great stuff. I think the most popular present this year would be John Deere keys and phone - we got set one hear. Drew walks around saying, "I gotta go to work..."

Taking a good picture is difficult with several people but become impossible with 2 kids after bedtime. This came out much better than the one we sent out. Can anyone tell who is photo shopped into our Christmas card????

Peanuts

Drew's new found love is peanuts. This is actually a happy face trying to get the shell off. He WILL NOT eat unshelled peanuts from a can - what fun is that??? I am working on teaching him not to eat the shell after he bites it open. He will love Roadhouse when we go sometime!

Christmas Program at School

Drew and Ally had a "Holiday" program at school filled with lots about Santa - so it is a CHRISTMAS program! How do you get 30 plus kids to stand and sing several songs? Hummm make it only 7 minutes. They did 8 songs/finger plays (poems with actions) in 8 minutes. Only one kid fell off the stage - if you knew Quade this wouldn't be a surprise.

(Drew is on the second row left (green sweater) and Ally is middle right (black jumper with cream turtle neck))

Both of our kids stood still except for actions. Ally sang all the words and Drew piped in for a few and did the actions to the best of his little 2 year old abilities. He is very good at HO HO HO.

Drew and Monkey


Ally and Kanga


At the end of the concert, Santa came giving everyone a stuffed animal. Ally got a kanga and Drew a monkey. They have traveled, slept, and eaten with us throughout the break!

Santa Claus Came to Town!

We are trying to get some pictures for a Christmas card, but we are not having much luck. Believe it or not this is actually happy faces on both kids.


We have been talking about this day for awhile. Ally knows what she is going to ask Santa for and about his raindeer and how he is coming to our house. She is soooooo excited. We got to the Santa stop and there and we were #199 and #200. One of my students were passing out the numbers and she said that they were on #75. Her mom was running it and almost pushed us up, but I couldn't do that. If I knew that it was going to be an hour and a half, I might have taken the offer!

Drew and I were walking around looking at things. I should him where Santa was and he said - mommy go now. I told him he needed to wait his turn. A little girl got off Santa's lap and Drew said - Mommy my turn now!



I always ask how the kids do at preschool and they tell me that they do everything together, but at the same time are DEFINITELY siblings though. When I see them in the halls they are always holding hands. Tonight when they were getting ready to see Santa, they held hands. Ally is a good sister that helps her little brother.



So what did she ask for: Backyardigans radio, Uniqua doll, and Dora bracelet. Drew was speechless but excited.

Last One for the Night!

Who let thses goons help make cookies with their runny noses and coughs? Oh well these goons are the only one that are going to eat the cookies!

Sleepy Pickle

We enjoyed a great day of Christmas shopping last Saturday. Ally and Drew stayed home with their favorite babysitter - Stacey. At supper that night, Ally fell asleep at the table. Must have had a hard day playing.

Tractor Tipping

I am amazed on how many people haven't seen Cars. It is Drew's FAVORITE movie. Grandma Rhonda bought him a Cars hat with Mater on it this fall - since ours were in storage. There was a flier in the DVD case with the cars on it and he carries/takes it with him EVERYWHERE, even to church.

If you didn't know, Drew has many tractors or other farm equipment. He doesn't allow Ally to touch them. Besides driving them around and making "tractor" noises, he likes to stand them on their hind ends. In the movie, Mater and McQueen went out one night to "tractor tip." They snuck up in front of the tractor and honked their horn to scare them. Then the tractor woke up scared and took off too fast and ended up on its hind end.

It's cute when he does it.

On a side note: Thanks dad and mom for the combine with a removeable corn and bean head. I put that thing on at least 100 times tonight. The auger is still attached and Mommy is the only one that can put it on for some reason...

Van Gogh

We were quite surprised tonight by our little Van Gogh. Ally begged to paint after supper. As any reasonable parent would say - it is getting late let's do it another time. She continued to insist so we attempted to keep Drew occupied and got out the watercolors. Here is her masterpiece. We were quite surpised. I am sure this one is going to be in a frame somewhere in our house soon!

Jason joined in after awhile and this is his beautiful picture. Any bidders????

Drew finally got tired of racing his tractors and cars and saw Ally showing off her paper. He yelled - I paint too! Goodness I don't know how they do it in the preschool, but he got going also and created the below picture. I stood close by holding onto the water cup and reminding him to put it in the color AFTER he dipped it in water.

Chimney?

Conversation on the way home tonight... (you can tell where this is going right away!)

Ally: Mommy, Do we have a chimney?

Mommy: Why do we need a chimney, Ally?

Ally: So Santa can bring our toys down. Where is our chimney?

Mommy: ummmm let me call Daddy....

Later at home discussion comes up...

Ally: Daddy, do we have a chimney?

Daddy: Yes - don't you see the fireplace?

Ally: Yep ... conversation ends

If I would have know it was that easy I would have answered it, but I was afraid she would want to see it when we got home. Ours is a pipe that only a squirrel could get through. Santa would really have to do a miracle!

Did He Really Say That?

Jason was walking in last night from hanging up more Christmas lights. Yes - he is Clark Griswald. Shivering he asked, "Why did we want to move back to Iowa? Did we really complain about it not being cold enough?" No snow and still FRIDGED! Ally continues to ask why she has to wear her coat in the car. Duh - you have no fat on that little bum to keep you warm!

Flower Children!

Ally and Drew get to be in Uncle Jared and soon to be Aunt Allison's wedding in March. Jason is too, but he doesn't get to wear a pretty dress. We are so excited for them! Now we get to start buying noisy toys for them too!

Happy Turkey Day!

We have had a great 4 day weekend. It all started with Turkey Day! Ally was so excited and kept asking when Turky Day was going to be here. We headed to Uncle Ken's in Newton for the big celebration. After lunch (which was great) except that Ally and Drew barely ate anything unless you consider all the corn off of Jason's plate.

Mom, Donna, Troy, the kids and us went to the park to play. We had fun running around on the fort. It had a boat, a wagon and lots of tunnels to climb through. Jason got stuck in one tunnel and had a headache from hitting his head.

Ally was driving the jeep. Keep dreaming girlie!

Drew loves the merry-go-round. Ally is getting really good at pushing him around and around. I get so sick but not them. Maybe I am getting tooooo old!

Mom was checking out her balancing routine. She wasn't too good at it - but I was!

After we got back to the house, the Shepleys got there. The Daddys took the kiddos out to Uncle Ken's "farm" to ride tractors and HORSES!!!! Mommys stayed back to search the Black Friday ads for good deals - none were found.

Here is Drew with Grandpa Charlie.


Now Ally's turn - finally she wasn't first!!!

This is Mallory (She is 6 wks older than Ally).

This is Lydia riding her horse - she looks like a pro!

What Will the Neighbors Say?

It is Christmas time!!! That means LIGHTS!!! We don't try to out do our neighbors, but it is always nice. We just try to improve on the previous years lights. Jason was up putting up the lights and Drew was sleeping. Ally was out and about playing when she realized that Jason was on the roof putting up the lights. It took her over 15 minutes to figure out how he got up there. She kept running in the house going up the stairs, running down, back outside, back inside, up the stairs etc. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that she was trying to get to Daddy to help. I giggled realizing that she had forgot about the guest bedroom - the window that Daddy had crawled out of. The door was shut.

Finally I showed her how to get out. Yes we are TERRIBLE parents, but she sat in the corner of the roof and handed Jason the hooks. She didn't move, but had a blast.

Time Out!

Drew and Ally fight like brother and sister. We have tried to sit Drew in time out, but didn't work because he would just get down. Now that he has gone to school, he has figured out what time out it. I think that means he might have had to sit in time out a few times. I am pretty sure he was in trouble for throwing food or hitting Ally. It was hard not to laugh at him because he was being so silly.

Brownie Bash

This story is way past due, but too cute to forget!

On some Sunday nights we head to my Grandpa Melvin's house for supper. We hadn't been for quite awhile since we moved to IC. We had to take my van to the shop (again - surprise surprise) and then headed to Grinnell. About half way there, Ally asked for a "wippy."

Of course our response was - NO you don't need to play with it! She said that she needed to wipe off the food. Huh???? I turned around in the truck to Drew's face COVERED in brownies. The brownies were sitting on the seat between them. Neither of us thought they could reach them or see us put them there. Well we were obviously wrong. The brownie had a hole in the middle and a big mess in the truck.

Ken still ate the brownies or at least parts of them that little hands hadn't touched!

Fareway!

I have several blogs from this weekend that I need to post, but I had a great memory on why I love IA grocery stores!!!!

Fareway is the greatest store on earth. It might be outdated. They all wear white shirts and black ties (Morman family own the store.) Their store is not high tech. I remember the last time I shopped in Ames, I think they still had to type in all the prices. So in the past 6 yrs they have upgraded to scanners.

You might ask why do I love this store???? Service. I had 2 kids that refuse to ride in the cart anymore and wanted to walk out holding my hand. Okay I am for holding hands, but I had a small bag of groceries and Jason's breakfast drink - mountain dew. When I got up to the check out the girl - said "carry out." YEAH!!! You are NOT allowed to push the cart out the door. You can carry your groceries, but the carry out boy pushes the cart or carries your stuff! He followed our little scrambling threesome as we headed out to the car. He put it in my van and said - Have a good evening - all as I got the kids in their carseats.

What a great night~

Sick Chickidee

Ally got the flu on Tuesday night. I think the kids have something secretly planned against us. They plan to get sick when Jason is about ready to head to WI. Ally told me her head hurt on the way home from school. She put an ice pack on it when we got home and said that made it feel better. At 10:00 her supper came up - man she needs to chew! Along with that lovely picture she had a high temp.

Jason stayed home with her today because he was leaving for WI the next day and couldn't stay that day. My kids are INSANE for a sub and I was already out one day this week. Last two times it was Drew. I think they have it out for us!

While Jason and Ally were home, Jason made her some toast. He called into the play room, "Sweetie, your toast is ready, come eat with me." She yelled back, "Daddy are you talking to me or are you talking to yourself?" Hummm does Jason talk to himself?

She must be feeling better though. When I put her to bed, it took over 30 minutes to tuck in ALLLLLL of her babies. They each have their own Turkish pillow and a blanket. They each needed their dolly and a kiss. Oh she has quite the imagination! She also was in bed when I heard her crying. YIKES - I haven't had to clean up throw up by myself for a long time! Turns out - she misses her daddy and was hystarical. She is now in my bed waiting for her daddy to come home. She did get to talk to him and have him sing her good night song.

Moral of the story.... if you can't sleep, call us Jason will sing you the good night song.... nope that's not it - Ally loves her Daddy. She told me that she is his favorite little girl!

Would She Eat it?

Amy S for some reason HATES meatloaf. I don't really get her and this just adds to my pile of questions. Well last night we had meatballs. Would Amy eat those. It is the exact same ingredients as meatloaf, but in little balls instead of a LOAF (which is what grosses her out).

Just a thought for pondering... Amy you have any reactions?

Sale Barn

Most of you reading this have never been to a sale barn. I don't even remember if I have been to a sale barn. My mom is reading this going - gee wiz Brenda - you have many times. It has obviously not left a lasting impression.

Jason was the kind and brave husband on Saturday afternoon. He took BOTH kids to the Club Calf sale over an hour away. My dad was selling 3 calves to inspiring 4H kiddos for next year's fair.

I didn't go, but I hear that you get popcorn and other goodies and can cheer for your grandpa when he comes into the ring.

I enjoyed my time unpacking both kids' room and going to Bread Company for a warm and quiet bowl of soup and my favorite sandwich. YIPPEE for great husbands!

Muddy Day

Ally was having quite the day. We were unpacking stuff. Jason and I were working our best to keep them busy so that they wouldn't undo our hard work. It was kind of nice out side - upper 20 to lower 30s. We bundled the kids up and let them ride their bikes outside while Jason was hanging cupboards in the garage for his manly tools.

We are the last house on the street so the sidewalk ends into a muddy lot next to us. We got quite a bit of rain on Friday along with the water that Jason had put on the sod. Ally hasn't mastered stopping on her bike and fell off the end of the sidewalk.

Not the terrible part though. She sat in it trying to get out and sunk her tennis shoes in the mud. Scarred for the morning, she lost interest in the great outdoors and came into bother mommy who was trying to unpack the plethera of toys that we hadn't seen in 5 months!

The funny part came 5 hours later when she wore her farm boots out to go fishing in the yard. She marched around the house - I hope that she wasn't trying to knock down the walls! You can see the little footprints in the mud. Well yes again she fell down in the mud in the same spot as before. Trying to pull her boots out she sat down in the mud and dirtied another pair of pants - EEKS!

Oh well - this episod sent her to the couch to watch some tv - without her pants!

Bunnies!

Many know that Jason is deathly afraid of bunnies. No one can understand it. It has more to do with the scary stuffed animals rather than real soft cuddly ones. We went to the mall for supper. Drew and Ally saw the merry-go-round and HAD to ride it. Drew picked the animals and led Jason to the scary bunny.

Sorry the pict is so bad - it is from my cell phone.

Blayze

One of my crazy 7th grade boys decided to dress as a "nerd." He caused more of a distraction and laugh than anything which is typical.

Bad Mom! (and Dad)

Well, I think it is about time that I add to the Worst Mom of the Year sagas.

Yesterday I was putting the kids in the truck to head home after school. I had both kids buckled in and was getting ready to get in myself when I realized that I had hit the lock button on the car and locked my poor kids into the car buckled into their seats. Of coarse my keys were in the truck with my phone. I was also locked out of the school, but luckily a janitor had just come out into the hall and saw me.

I ran into the school and grabbed Sandi (a good teacher friend) and her cell phone. I tried calling Jason, but he didn't answer because it was a Miron forward and not his wife's number. Arghhhh what to do. Another teacher flagged down the principal on his way out and we stared at the truck wondering what to do. The kids didn't know what was going on and were laughing. Luckily it was also 65 degrees out instead of the normal November weather.

After about 30 seconds, Brad (principal) tried Drew's door again and it was OPEN!!! Drew had his socks and shoes off and was playing with the door locks! Ally was too. I felt awful. I am known (mainly by my husband) to lose my keys and lock them in the car. I guess we need to find the magnetic box and put in under the vehicles again.

Cell phone - Jason did answer the next call when I called him from my phone.

Silly Girl!

Most of you know that Ally is silly silly silly - or at least says very silly stuff. Here are a couple of the most recent sayings!!!

On the way to church, she was babbling like a crazy child. Jason finally asked her to sit still and be quiet for the last few minutes. Her reply to his request, "Daddy, I am not done talking yet."

Last night at supper she was drinking Kool-Aide. Hers was gone so she was asking for more. To show us shee needed more, she tipped the cup upside down and the left overs dribbled out the cup. Her reply, "I don't know why I did that....I sorry, sorry sorry" (covered with lots of hugs....)

When we went to bed we found Arabella (cabbage patch doll) and Little Kitty outside of Ally's door???? When we put her to bed they were tucked in under wash rags (her "little blankets for dolls" I am cheap and can't find all of our old baby blankets yet). In the morning we asked her what happened and she said she didn't want them sleeping in her room. Wish I could do that sometimes.

There are so many more. Look forward to me getting pictures from my mom about Love-A-Lots birthday party on Tuesday.

Sod!

The sod guys came and laid some sod last night. We have only done the front lawn and part of the back yard. The builder is suppose to come back in the spring and seed the rest, but we are checking into prices about more sod.

Shutters will hopefully get painted this weekend and put up. I will update then and give pictures of the inside. Right now it looks like WWIII. I got the kitchen 100% complete last night except for a box of rubbermaid containers that I can't find.

It took Jason over an hour to find the sprinkler. A lot of boxes untaped!!!

Home Sweet Home

I am not quite sure how sweet home is yet, but we are finally home! We moved today. I didn't have school on Friday (conferences comp day) and Jason took the day off to pack. At 8:30, the truck from STL arrived and the guys started unloading. Meanwhile Jason finished packing the truck in Brooklyn and by 11:00 he was on the road.

By 4:00, the trucks were unloaded and now we have paths between rooms. Who knows when I will ever park my van in the garage. I don't have pictures because I didn't take any in the confusion, but I will get some day light picts soon.

Now we need to get change of address cards out so that we are forgotten at Christmas! Ally was thrilled to get Quinn's birthday invite - even though she is heading to a calf sale that day with Daddy and Drew. We are pondering the noisy toy we can get him.

Off to put up a curtain so we don't scare our new neighbors!

Happy Halloween!

This year was a sad Halloween, but a lot of fun. We usually head off to church for the Fun Fall Festival - where it is warm, but that trek was a little out of the way this year.

We went to Victor with Grandma Rhonda to trick or treat. It was bitter cold with a little wind to top that off. This is their first house - an old friend from church, Ed! They were so excited. Too bad that they won't eat most of the candy! I still have candy from 4th of July!

Drew was so cute saying, "Tick or teet." and then his adorable, "tank ou." They were really great and enjoyed the cold night.

Ally was Uniqua from the Backyardigans.

This is obviously not my kids. My niece, Kaylee, is the bunny. Don't these kids look like they really are excited about Halloween and going to get candy??? Also if you notice in Kaylee's hand in a HUGE candy bar - I can't imagine that she is going to get to eat that one!
