I just love the look of complete concentration here...

Good morning, Daddy... happy golfing... :)

Two big boys -- just hanging out. :)

Thank you, honey, for the flowers. :)
Funny story... Kate walked in and said "Hey, where did those flowers comed from?" I said, "From Daddy." "Why?" "Because he loves me." :) She said, "What did he got for me?... he loves me too."

Aww - aren't they cute? :)

Come and get it!! Picnic time! :)

I know it's nerdy but, hey -- as a mom, I LOVE it. Safer (and quieter) than an ATV and the kids still think it's FUN!! :)

Obviously not quite "sitting up" yet ;) (btw, the jammies used to be Jesse's... awww...)

Here's the other clip...

Hootenanny on the piano

Ooohhh... my boy...

Love this one too (even though it's a little fuzzy)

love this picture...

The official "2007 Easter picture"...

and I have to mention that Ben DID have a cute outfit on at one point but you know how newborns can be with those diapers (sigh) and all I had in the diaper bag were pajamas! (5th child... poor thing)

Another "Happy Birthday Isaac" picture. :)

Good thing I got a spring picture before it started SNOWING in Columbus!!!

Kate to Daddy:

"Remember when you ranned over my pink bike?"
Daddy to Kate:

"Remember when you left your pink bike in the driveway behind my car?"
(but Daddy still caved and bought her a new bike - purple this time... maybe we'll have better luck with purple) :)

nice...

Oh!!... now I get it!! :)

Huh? Are you trying to tell a joke? Is it supposed to be funny? I don't get it...

Happy 10th Birthday, Isaac Timothy! :) Our "family tradition" is that the birthday boy gets to skip school on his special day and go out to lunch with Mom and then go shopping to pick a birthday present (within reason, of course). Now, this was a GREAT arrangement in Oswego b/c there were no Chuck E. Cheese's or Magic Mountains nearby... but here in Columbus... ANYway... Isaac got to go to Magic Mountain and ride the go-carts. FUN! (for him) (but at least it's not Chuck E. Cheese's, right?) ;)

This outfit has sentimental value... Kim and I bought it for Charlie when he was born - then Kim's Benjamin wore it - and now my Benjamin gets to wear it. And notice Ben's face... it's like he's trying to understand the history. :)

Isaac begged and begged for me to bring Ben in for "show and tell" -- here he is "showing" while Ben is "telling" (he fussed the whole time... the kids obviously don't seem to mind) :)

Isaac and Kate helping in the kitchen

venting...

forget this!!... I just took almost 1/2 hour to post ONE picture... and right at the end, I clicked "post" --- and it didn't post!! Tried to hit "back" and it took me back to a blank page with the pic not loaded! Aaaaahhhh! (that's a loud scream) Maybe I'll try again tomorrow (ugh!!) Until then, it's the thought that counts, right? Please, enjoy the THOUGHT of new pictures...
