Whose Your Daddy?

I caught up with Charlie's Primary teacher last Sunday. She and her husband teach his class and he is starting to like them. He really likes that she has video games on her phone and he tries to play them ALL the time.
I told her the story of him getting a hair cut and telling me that the lady that cut his hair looked just like his teacher. I kept wondering what he meant because he doesn't have a Latino teacher anywhere that I know of, and he told me that they had the same hair--that's how they looked the same.
She thought that was pretty funny and then shared this story with me. They were teaching a lesson about who Jesus' Earthly father was and she asked if any one knew the name of Jesus' father on Earth. Charlie raised his hand and says, "yeah, it's my dad." She thought that was cute and told him, "oh that's a really good guess, but let's see if anyone knows the real name of Jesus' Earthly father." Charlie started really thinking and then said, "oh, I got this. He's name is Brian Rolf."
What a funny boy he is. I guess that means that his Dad is the best one that he knows and thinks he's every one's Daddy.

Snaggle Tooth

This picture is pretty blurry, but I like two things about it:
1. He has lost 6 teeth, but only has 2 coming in the place of them. The two that are coming in on the top are also SO large that they are really funny.
2. He got a really bad cut on his eye the other week when he, his brother and his dad were playing basketball in the church. It turned green and black and blue. It looked so sick.

Chuck

This is what I found after heading into the bathroom after Chuck. He is learning at a young age that we read the Sports Illustrated in the reading room. (You might have to enlarge the picture to really appreciate it.)
I love that boy!

Sweet 16!

Brianna had a strange birthday this year. She had a volleyball tournament all day and didn't know when she'd be done. When she got home Brian was ready to have the party, so we hurried and wrapped the gifts and she opened them.
Brian and I did pretty well. We got a great dress, a denim jacket, a bracelet, sun glasses, and shoes. She liked most everything. We had only one major set back when the security tag was left attached. We had a big poly birthday party on Sunday and Brianna picked to have yummy cake that Grandma Eveline makes. When they put the candles on they read "61!" Oh my how fast she's grown up.

Brianna's New Adventure

Can you believe she's old enough for this???? There's nothing legal about it yet, because she hasn't gotten her permit. She's been out with her instructor twice already. I don't know what we'll do then the day comes!!!
For those of you that live close--you might want to stay off the road.

Family Pictures

So, my mom decided that she wanted to do family pictures before my brother Dan left for a mission in March. About a month ago when we talked about it before, I told her my high school friend could possibly do them--she has done photography for a while and does a really good job. (She also had a give away on her blog last year and I won a landscape picture that she had taken.)
My mom and I didn't talk about it again until a few days before Christmas. I told her that I would check with Jennie, but not to hold her breath. She wanted to take them with Pete and David still in town and before we all went back to school and work. My mom also wanted them to be taken outside. I called Jen that night and asked if be could take some family pictures the day after Christmas. She quickly agreed and we were set.
We decided to take them outside at a fun little park. Little did we know it would be the COLDEST day.
After lots of sadness about the cold and who had to stand by whom we finished the pictures in record time. Jennie just let me know that she had finished check them out at her cute blog here.

Bowling Trip

We took everyone bowling on Monday afternoon. We got there just in time, because after we started, the bowling alley got packed with all sorts of people.
I think Pete and Brian got the best scores, but Tom wasn't far behind. I did the worst, but like to think that after the first game I'd do better. Lucky for everyone else we only bowled one game or else I would have smashed all of them!
The boys love bowling...Charlie mostly loves the video games that are in the next room, but will bowl just to make everyone else happy. (Our camera is so slow that it takes forever to take the picture after you press the button, so I think they were originally looking at the camera for this one.)
For Charlie's happiness we played some video games after our game. Bree killed the dance-dance revolution game. If the said camera wouldn't have quit on me we would have pictures of everyone else playing games too. We had a great afternoon at Orchard Lanes!
