Erin, Caleb, Abby, Zach, Macy, JT, Alyssa, Evan, and Lizzy

The guys!

The girls!

Have a great time guys!

Graham and Desire' didn't go this year because Graham has been home all week with the flu. He is feeling better and Desire' came over to hang out and watch movies with him. Last year they didn't get to go either because...yep! you guessed it...Graham was sick:( These pictures were taken on New Years Eve at Desire's house.

Doug and Vladimir update:

Doug

Vladimir

Todd's cousin's daughter, Lindsay, is a dog groomer (a really good one too!) and I took the boys last weekend to have them groomed before they were neutered. They came home worn out! Well, they did go to the vet this past week but not to get neutered. They got the flu (or maybe it was all the dry wall dust they were eating!) and had to get hydrated after having explosive stools!! Yuck! So, needless to say I had to give them a bath yesterday:)

awwwww...Doug!

and Vladimir:)

So good to see all my boys feeling better!

things i miss...

I miss playing games with Paps. We used to play card games and board games all the time. He was so much fun to be with:) Below are the last scores from when Graham and Paps played darts in the garage. Chuck and Bud sure had some good times with their Paps out in that garage.

 

I even miss seeing his handwriting. I took this picture after his funeral.

As you can see one dart board wasn't enough=) Today would've been Paps birthday. Graham came home from school and said that he went to write the date on his algebra final and it hit him. Then he said they used an example of playing pool in a story problem...that was another favorite game they loved to play! We all miss you so much Paps!

potty/party time!

Soooo...this is potty training time! These boys LOVE the snow! They would much rather play than potty:)

Every time I tried to get a picture of the front of them they were off and running!

Here is Doug trying to get up the front step.

Vladimir's attempt at the step.

Well, they might not be able to get up the front step, but they have mastered the dishwasher door!

On another note...this is the AP Government study group studying for finals!

Looks like party time to me! Molly, Autumn, Chili, Chase and Evan, I hope you do well tomorrow on your final exam and don't miss it due to sickness!!! Oh, and yes, this is the same group that appear frequently on the Facebook videos!

7:30 p.m. (1:30 on the 20th)

Starring:

Evan McMullen as

Friedrich

Evan auditioned for the musical The Sound of Music and will be acting out the role of Friedrich, the oldest son of Captain Von Trapp. The dates and times are above...I hope you all can make it! Also, making their big debut yesterday are Vladimir (Evan's dog) and Doug (Graham's dog). They are 11 week old black teacup poodles. These brothers are as different as day and night but absolutely love one another.

I put out two plates of food for them...silly me! They both ate off of the one and then moved on to the other:) Look at that cute pink tounge!

Evan and Vladimir

Graham and Doug

They sure love to play!

Tennis anyone? This was the only "toy" we had for them.

After church I stopped and got them chew sticks and a little hippo.

New chew sticks one for each of them, but...eventually...

...they just fought over one...brothers!

Awww! They are all worn out!

That's why they call it puppy love!! This is just one of many posts to come about these two boys. By the way, what was I thinking when I got two more boys?! I must be out of my mind;-)
