What it Means to have BOYS...

A new love for diving must be practiced daily. There are no indoor pools here, so of course it makes total sense to "dive" off the couch!

Over and Over

And Over Again!

Grandpa's old hard hat becomes a treasured keep sake. Favorite Books Include Captain Underpants. All cables and cords are saved FOREVER because " someday we may need them for SOMETHING!!!" (These are truly Alton Turner's great grandchildren.)

This is the reason that NO ONE can ever find their SOCKS..

Boys: " Mom, I don't have any socks."

Mom: " Go look in your sock drawer"

Boys: " I just looked, there is nothing in there."

Mom: "I just gave you socks to put in the drawer yesterday, where are they?"

Boys: "I don't know."

Mom: " What is all this? Where are your Socks?"

Apparently, one can NEVER have too many Footballs, Basketballs or Baseballs!!

A cardboard box can be made in to anything, including a race car, COMPLETE with STEERING WHEEL.

Awesome Race Cars that Corey and Caleb made out of a Hammock Box.

Oh! We cannot forget the Bounty of Dirty Socks! These things could stand up and run away from me at anytime, I am sure of it. They are crusty and smelly and EVERYWHERE! This is the other reason no one ever has socks, they are thrown all over the place!!

Sunday Dinner... when company comes to visit!

His first trip to the Temple!!

Please Excuse the garbarge on the trunk of the car. I considered cropping this picture, but hey... This is real life. I do have to drive my garbage to the dumpster, EVEN on the way to take Caleb to his FIRT TEMPLE TRIP!! Iam so proud of you Caleb for being worthy to enter The House of the Lord. My prayer for you is that this is the first of many trips that you will take throughout your time here on earth. I love you.

He looked happier in the picture that I took of him ALONE!! :)

Florida vs. New York

Okay... So in the first picture... Mia and I are hanging out in a hammock at Eric's place in Florida on the lake. The date: 01/10/09. The other two pictures were taken 6 days later on 01/16/09 at Cliff's place in New York. Hmmmm.

We all had a wonderful time. Caleb and Corey LOVED the snow. These pictures were taken just after 9am on our first morning there. We hated that Christian was not able to come with us but hopefully, he will be able to check it all out soon. I should have taken some pictures at the pool. They were able to dive at RIT twice while we were there. Andi, Cliff's mother took them to the science museum, TWICE. I of course just enjoyed spending time with Cliff and the family. We will certainly have to LAYER because it is freezing there but hey... Who doesn't like to layer?

We are certainly looking forward to all the changes ahead. We have a lot to do and we are all very excited for all of it. I am sorry that I have been a total Blog Slacker. I will work on it around my phone calls with Cliff!
