EARTH HOUR 2010 8:30 LOCAL TIME Show the Earth some love!

Show you care!

Join people around the world in showing Mother Earth some love.

Turn everything off for one hour beginning at 8:30 (your local time!)

No laptops, no TV, no iPods.

Let's get out and enjoy nature, enjoy the family and enjoy our world.

We're shutting off power to the whole house.

What will you do?

Random photos and the start of our garden . . .

Since I haven't updated in a while, I thought I'd throw in some random photos of the fam . . .

Sadie Lady. Happy to be back to being the only pet.

Turns out I was allergic to Coco and Brownie.

But we found them a very good home.

Which was probably best, since I was really the only one who paid any attention to them.

My little monkey.

Chloe got to get all dolled up and celebrate Sophie's birthday at Cheesecake factory.

This next picture cracks me up. Logan has been constantly asking to go buy new toys. So I told him. He needs to pick out at least 5 toys to sell at the upcoming neighborhood garage sale before he can get any more toys.

This is what he came up with.

What a sacrifice he has made. Did I mention that two of the three items are his sisters.

And we're very excited that we are FINALLY starting our garden.

Craig framed everything out last weekend and we're going to get the dirt and seeds today.

Wish us luck!!

Like Father, Like Daughter

Remember this,

Well, Chloe must have thought that it looked really fun . . .

Yep, she's now sportin' the latest in cast wear.
She slipped on the side of the pool and hyper extended her toes. She said they hurt but nothing was red or swollen so, Mom of the Year here, sent her off to school the next day with a stern, "Suck it up Girl". Later that day I got a call from the principle advising me Chloe was going to need help getting off the bus, since she could barely walk. Sure enough, she came home in tears with a very puffy foot. After a quick trip to the doctors and an x-ray we learned she has a buckle fracture. After all the flips and cartwheels this girl does EVERYWHERE, she hurts her foot walking!?!

Of course everyone has been commenting on how fast she gets around on her crutches and boot. She was even out playing basketball last night with Daisy.

Nothing' slows my girl down!

Breakfast with Jo!

On our way home from Iowa we were able to meet up with Aunt Joanne in Chicago for Breakfast.
It's been way too long since we've seen her.
We love you Joanne!
Thanks for breakfast.

We hope to see you again very soon!

Maybe for a wedding . . . .
