Payton and callie

Me and Mr. Parker.... introducing.... I FOUND MY TONGUE!!


They were eating...well the boys were eating, callie hates to eat!
So a big thanks to allison for coming on a last min. notice. That is how you know you have been friends for a long time! Ever since 3rd grade! We still talk all the time! Her boys are so awesome! Callie met her match when it came to payton! Dave had alot of fun with the kids, He let them wash all the cars, dog, and anything else outside! Then he let them drive the car!!!!!! HUH? That's right, he let them drive the car down the street. ( yes he was in the driver seat with them to) But they thought, that was great. Less then 24 hours later they had to get back in the car and go home. It is always sad to see your friend leave, but i know i will see her in less then 3 months!!!!!! YAY! LOVE YOU GUYS!! and THANKS FOR COMMING!!!

Goin on a Bear Hunt.....

HAHA....Dave has been working so much lately that the kids rarely get to see him, he came home one night so exhausted and while I cooked dinner, I noticed that there had been no noise from anyone for a while so I went to investigate. I found all three of them in Callie's room on a BEAR HUNT!!! What a great dad to be so exhausted, but still make the memories your kids will always remember. ( not to mention it was really really nice to not have someone under my feet while I was cooking).

Dear Manager

So Callie and Dave went to the store today, and as they were loading up the car with groceries a guy pulled up behind him and said " Hey you might want to check your little girls pocket" Yep, there it was a pack of Orange gum. Dave made her take it back in, told her she broke the law, so on and so on. So when she got home she came running to me with tears and tears of sadness, telling me something about gum and the law and the police, So she went to her room, Dave and i talked about it and here is the Punishment...... She had to write 20 sentences saying i will not steal. Of course i wrote the top one so she knew what she was writing. and then she had to write the manager a note ( Dave couldn't find him when they went back in so he just made her put it back) So told her she had to also write a letter to him. No t.v. for the day and no going outside for the day. ( and it sucks because its a NICE Day, and it's her fav thing to do)

Here is the note she wrote to the manager... :) Yes i wrote dear manager at the top.
It says- " Dear Manager. I am sorry i stole gum. Love Callie. I will never do it again, please don't call the police"
