Harley Momma

This our neighbor girl Taylor. She sat on Bud's Harley the other night and honked the horn. I think she even told Bud she would like to ride it. She is so cute. Nick just loves her.

Hillbilly Washers

Ryan and I along with Uncle Steve and Taylor are going to the Michigan -Illinois football game next Saturday. Ryan got the great idea to make a washer board game like my brother has. We went and got all the materials and Bud helped Ryan figure out how to put it all together. We have to paint it and all. I will continue to keep you posted on the progress as we advance. We are taking it to the game because we will tailgate before hand. I cant wait. It should be a lot of fun.

Way to go Linda

A lot of you have probably not seen Linda much since she started her liquid diet months ago, but i wanted everyone to see her progress. She looks fantastic. She is just starting to eat again. I believe she has lost close to fifty pounds. AMAZING!!!!

What Big Eyes You Have

Nick has an obsession with grandma Linda's reading glasses. We put them on him once and now he thinks he should wear them all the time. He looks intellectual doesn't he.

Here Ducky Ducky

I finally convinced Ryan to go with Nick and I to feed the ducks at Long Acre Park. I am almost positive he had more fun than Nick.

Nick's Pet

For those of you who don't know...Nick has a pet turtle. He calls him Turtur. We set up a 10 gallon tank for Turtur equipped with a log for hiding and a heat lamp. He is set up by Nick's bed so that he can see him when he wakes up. We often get the turtle out so he can walk around on the floor and Nick chases him. The turtle has been launched a few times, but we are teaching Nick how to be "easy". It is a great pet because there is not much clean up and he eats fresh fruits and veggies. Unlike his father Nick does to.

New Toys

Yesterday i was trying to clean the house and Nick wanted to help me. Every time i would get the clothes out of the basket, he would crawl inside and play. He even took his bowl of cheerios with him at one time. As you can see he really wanted to learn to sweep as well. I thought if i put the basket away he would forget about it. Boy was i wrong. He brought it back out again and has played with it all day. How funny it is that we buy him all these toys and he gets the most enjoyment out of a clothes basket.
