I'm a Dork!

OK, so I didn't think to do the girls first and then announce my blog. So please start from the bottom of the blog and work your way up the page. Give me a break it is my first time! Enjoy! I was on my computer that doesn't have a lot of pictures on it, so I will get the ones of them when they are older later! have fun reading. Please leave comments so it looks like I have friends! Jo

Chopper

OK, here is Chopper. He thinks he is one of the girls! I put this video up of him to show what a dork he is! He hates it when they blow leaves and tries to attack to machine. He also hates squirrels and LOVES to chase them. But his favorite thing is his tennis balls.

Emily

Mimi! Our first born! It's hard to believe that she is 11 years old now! She is in 6th grade. That is middle school here. She is also on the B-team for Volleyball. Not many 6th graders made it. She is my GREAT helper. She is a lot of fun to be with and is always smiling and having fun. She always says it's not fair that she has to be the one to do everything just because she is the oldest. Jeff tells her he understands, it was the same way for him. I just remind her that because she is the oldest she gets to date first, drive first, and get out of the house first! She liked that. Of course I hope it was the driving first she liked the best. Em has many friends and is always e-mailing them. She wants a phone really bad for Christmas, who knows maybe Santa will bring it. Not! She really is a shinning star in our lives and keeps me laughing. She says she wants to be a volleyball player when she gets older, and hopes she will be as good as her mom someday. OK, I added that last part! She is already 5'4 and isn't sure how she feels about it. I keep telling her that when she gets older she will love it! She already passed me up. I was 5'3 going into 7th. Soon she will be babysitting, and she is very excited about. She has always been great with kids. I am so glad that she is in our lives!

Jessica

This is our little JRae! She is 9 now and such a joy to have around! She is just like her mother and does not shut up! Jeff has always called me his "Chatty Kathy" and after having her with him this summer doing bids on houses he says I no longer hold the title. Jessi does! She is always trying to help others, and KNOWS she knows everything. She is a great student and all her teachers love having her in class because she is so helpful, and will do anything for them. This year she is following in her sister Emily's foot steps, and is Safety Patrol at school. When I find my camera I will put up the pictures from the night the police came and swore them in. She is responsible for helping people on and off the bus and making sure everyone stays safe at school. She loves it. She is also a budding poet and writer. She says she is also going to be a volleyball player. I am loving that! I know in the top picture you can't see her, but if you notice the hand sticking up, that's her. She loves to laugh, and make us laugh. As I am typing this she is on the toilet with the door open talking to me. She has not stopped for the last 5 min. nothing gets in her way!

Ashley!

These are just a few pictures of how Ashley has grown up! As you can see from the pictures of her ho down at school that she is going to be Very tall! Look at the one of her coming in with the class, she is a head taller than the girl in front of her. She was taller than everyone in her class that year for Kindergarten, except for one boy. The day that picture was taken was the day she had her 6th birthday party. All the moms were asking me if she was turning 7 and a few asked me if she was turning 8! The rest of the pictures are just to show the different faces of our Ash. She is a nut, with a great imagination! She is always making us laugh. Just the other day she told us she wanted to be an only child. We asked her why and she told us because she likes to play by herself. i told her that if it wasn't for Emily and Jessi being born she wouldn't be here. She sat for a second then turned to me and said "That sucks" Nothing is better than when the next day Jessi came down stairs and told us that Ashley called her a turd. So we called her down and asked her if she called Jessi a turd. She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and said "Yes, but I used it in a sentence." So I guess we can call people names because we used it in a sentence. I like the logic of a 7 yr. old. We call these Ahleyism, she has so many that I have started writing them down. So expect a lot of stuff about her!

Surprise, Surprise! Yes I created a blog!

For a long time know everyone has been bugging me to do a blog, so here it is!! I hope I can live up to everyones expectations. I will let you all know that I am slacker, so no hateing on me for not posting things all the time! I will try my best! Since so many of our family live sooooo far away I thought this was a great way to show off my beautiful girls! Of course Chopper too.
