Playing around

The kids did so good while we were getting Noah's pictures taken so they got to go "ride the rides" at the mall :) They seriously think this is the coolest thing, I'm not sure why, but they actually remembered this part of the mall, and were anxious to be good and be able to go ride the toys.

Kelly and Brad were so proud that they could stand while it was moving :) Kinda cute "look Mom! we're standing while it's going!"

Charity got in on some other girl's quarters :) She's such a goof. (Can you believe these things cost 75 cents now!! Holy MOLY! Didn't they used to be just a quarter??


Here's Luke at "Mick O'Donnels" (that's how brad says it :)). He was so scared on the "rides" I didn't get a picture of him, so this seemed more like him anyway :)

Even when she's sick, she still looks pretty. (and if she's so sick, why isn't she in BED!)

About 2 weeks ago Nate received a letter inviting him to a lunch for the people who made the Chancellor's List (I think that's how you spell it) on March 5th. Since we couldn't afford to fly him back for the day (yeah right), I decided that I would just surprise him on that day and take him out to lunch myself. Well, after a few little hang ups, we ALL ended up going down and surprising Daddy, and taking him out for lunch. It was a little different than I had planned :) but it was fun. We stopped at Kiddie Kandids on the way to go get Nate and had his pictures taken. They turned out okay, but I was mostly just amazed that I had done it with all the kids there. Then we went and got Nate. We had a good time at Noodles with Daddy, then took him back to work and went to McDonald's for some fries, ice cream, and running around. It was a good day. We're so proud of Nate and all of his accomplishments with school. He's amazing.
