OK, when Kaleb likes his food he REALLY likes it! We finally caught it on camera, he eats like a shark! When a shark takes a bite of something, it's eyes roll back in it's head--like this. The only thing we couldn't capture was the humming sound he makes. So funny! :-)

I have taken up sewing. I made each of the kids an envelope back pillow case. With Shelby's left over fabric, I made her an apron. She loves to help me cook!

Jim came down to see us Friday after Christmas to hang out and exchange presents.

Shelby's learning to ride her new big girl bike Christmas morning!

Matthew got a guitar for Christmas, and will be starting lessons! Our budding musician. :-)

Chandler was trilled to get his Nintendo DS. Now he and the neighbor boys can chat!

Here's Kaleb opening up his new Webkin.

The kids on Christmas morning, anxious to open their presents.

Here's Klaus, the star! The funny thing is, Shelby put these on him and he didn't even care. He just sat there like it was totally natural. Too cute!

Shelby, the diva, already posing for the camera.

The boys were in the Christmas Parade for Cub Scouts. They had a lot of fun riding the float and throwing candy out to people. Kaleb is the one hiding behind the candy bag! :-)

This is our other dog, Jasper.

Our kitty Nermal.

This is our German Shepherd, Klaus. My, what big ears you have!

This is one of our three cats, Garfield.

Here's Shelby getting ready for her dance class. She loves dance! So cute. :-)

Wow!! I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted anything on our blog! Time sure does fly by. Well, here are some new pics that I hope you enjoy seeing. We had a lot of fun at the Tennessee Aquarium and Tallulah Falls this past spring.

There was a butterfly room at the Tennessee Aquarium. It was beautiful! It was a bit difficult to do, but each of the kids succeeded in catching and holding a butterfly. That was a lot of fun!

Matthew and Chandler got to "pet" the fish.

I had my turn to swim with the fish too!!

The kids are in a tube where they are surrounded by a large fish tank. They had a good time "swimming with the fish"

This is a seahorse at the Tennessee Aquarium. Everyone thought the seahorses were really neat.

Our cat Nermal just chillin'. He's one cool cat!

We had a stray cat that Cory got from the vet's office. We only had him for about a week though. He didn't get along with our other cats, so we had to return him to the vet so they could find him a more suitable home. Anyway, this is him making himself at home in the bird's cage. And no, the bird was not in the cage. ;-)

Here's Matthew after his new haircut. Our ten year old sure is handsome!

Chandler at his 2nd grade field day. So cute!

Kaleb at his 1st grade field day in May. He sure was trying hard!

Me, trying to hula-hoop at Kaleb's field day. I didn't do very well, but I blame the hula-hoop--it was too small. ;-)

Here's Shelby and me with our friend Kim. She came down from Illinois to see us. We all had a great weekend. We miss you Kimmy! :-)

Here's our family at the Tallulah Falls State Park in April 2008. I believe our good friend Kim took this picture. :-)

More pictures of Historic District Savannah. Savannah is just beautiful! Hopefully we'll go again soon. :-)
