Mmmmm

I have a new food addiction....sushi!!
I love it with raw veggies in the middle! I'm not brave enough to try it with raw fish yet (known as sashimi) , maybe someday :)
Red and orange bell peppers. Normally there would be avocado and a crab stick but our small town grocery store doesn't carry these items.

Sticky rice coated with rice vinegar and sugar.

Yummy, I LOVE sushi!

Brothers

They start off innocent enough...

...they look like such good boys...

...don't do it...

STOP!

Good thing Jack is big enough to hold his own. Some days I feel like I could be raising the next generation of Ultimate Fighters.

A Very Merry Christmas

Quite the artist in the making, Wes decorated this all by himself (frosting courtesy of Grandma)

Turkey Trot

Molly and her friend Rachel from running club.

Early Thanksgiving morning I had the opportunity to watch my sister run in a 5K called Turkey Trot. We headed to the Target Center at about 7am that morning - I'm am so glad that the weather was nice out!

Crazy runners dressed like turkeys. I actually saw two girls dressed like drumsticks but didn't get my camera out in time.

The goal was to 'stuff the streets'. Thousands of people packed the streets ( I've never seen so much spandex in one place before!).

There's Molly!!

Hurray! She finished with a great time. Good job Molly!

Happy Birthday Jack!

The Birthday boy!

It is also Grandma Kathy's birthday, so we all celebrated together.
I caught Wes starting to open the presents - he wasn't sure if they could open presents without his help.

Typical.

Jack and some of his new toys. He LOVES to play with balls.

Birthday cake! Not too sure at first.....

...maybe I'll try some....

...mmmmm...

...stuffed!

With all the excitement going on we had forgotten to give Jack the present from us! Here his big brother is showing him how it works.

You Can't Beat Free!

Here at the College we were able to get the kids photos done for free during a Family Fun Night event. Not the best but, it does help when things are free!
Wes is at the stage where he doesn't want anything to do with his little brother. I wish we could have gotten them together but it would've ended in a fight of wills so I let it go!

Always in a happy mood - most days anyway : )

Typical ham ( I wonder where he gets it from??)
