Kiddos with grandparents
He might be 13 but he'll still get on granddad's lap
Granny and her babies...she makes them rotten
Grandad made a video of them screaming and now they are watching themselves scream...ugh
The kids with Granny Terri, Granny Brown and Caroline...I have never heard her called anything else but she is a granny too. We will give a shout out to Steve for lunch...he fed a big group!

I promise to take pictures of the kids soon. We will all be together in Texas this week and I will get some new ones up. We have done nothing but GO and go some more. I told Jeff today that I am so ready to get away for a few days with the kids. Either they are with their friends or we have a house full of boys so it feels like I don't get to spend time with just them anymore. So, I promise to have something up soon....
We are done with basketball. We lost again today but the boys have come so far this year. When the season started they were still a little timid and by the last game I think they invented the sport of tackle basketball. When they fouled they made sure it was worth it. It was great! Next year is the first year for full court, I'm excited to see that.
Tallyn is refusing to play baseball..he says he will just wait till football. I think it's so he can skate all summer. Suits me just fine!
2 weeks till we go to Texas...see ya soon Mom!
Dustin....can't wait until you come home...we miss you so much.
One more thing..I was getting on to Rebel last night and noticed that he was eye level with me. This growth spurt is out of hand!!

We lost the last game. It was back and forth the whole game. I so wish they would have played like this all season. Tallyn made some really good shots. The last 2 games he has hit more shots than he has the entire season put together. Our next game in the tournament is on Sat. I will let you know how it goes....
Rebel
Rebel and John, his guitar teacher, after practice. I love the fact that he comes to the house. Rebel is enjoying lessons and seems to be coming along. John is a very good teacher but I wanted to kill him when he showed up with his lip pierced. Rebel thinks he should be allowed to do it and points John's out never mind the age difference. To think...I have 2 more kids to fight about everything with!
Ellie
At ballet class this morning
They got their dresses today so we had to come home and take pictures. Ellie calls it her "fancy dress".

Tallyn
We have a tournament next week and that is the end of basketball season. After the game last night they all went to a lock in at the community center where they did not sleep at all. He came home this morning and went straight to bed. This is a really great bunch of boys!!
They do have a serious team picture but I like this one the best.

Sorry.....
I have not had time to post any pictures or update anyone. Since I'm at work I can't get any pictures up. I will as soon as I have time.
The kids are doing great.
Tallyn had two games this past weekend. Like I said before it has not been the best season. This weekend made up for the entire season. They lost the first game by 4 points but the boys played so well together. They pulled out all these plays and awesome shots. I think Tallyn found his niche, he played defense so well. The second game they won by 2 points. It was a really good game. Is it wrong to like hearing "get 23!!! hit 23 in the chest!!! stay on 23!!" Did I mention Tallyn is 23? One more game then it is off to the tournament. When I get a chance I will put up his team picture.
Rebel is a master texter. I think he has forgotten how to communicate using words. He spent the weekend at church they had"vintage weekend". They do this every couple of months. He really likes his youth pastors, he is helping one of them move next weekend. He is still trying to talk me into letting him go to the movies with a group of friends that his girlfriend happens to be going with. I can't remember when I got to start going out with a group of friends but he can't for a while longer. Again, I'm ruining his life. I'm getting pretty good at that.
Ellie...what can I say? She is Ellie. She is feeling much better than she did. Her rash only lasted a couple more days. She is getting ready for her ballet recital. They will have their fitting next week ,I think. All the little girls look so sweet doing their little dance. They will not have the show until May.
We are excited to go see Granny on Spring Break. Other than that we are just busy with the kids. I will try and get some pictures up as soon as I have a chance.
If any of what I said makes no sense it is because my boss' grandson is behind me and making so much noise playing with tools and trying to make music that I can hardly think. He's 24 and he is louder than the kids.

When the tornado hit yesterday and we took all the kids in shelter I was holding Ellie and noticed she looked splotchy so I looked at her belly and it was covered in bumps. So I thought she had the chicken pox and was infecting all the people around us. I could not take her to the Dr. because that side of town was being hit really hard and there was no way to leave. So I got her in first thing this morning and he said it was not the chicken pox. She is allergic to penicillin. She was given that for pink eye. I knew I should have pushed for the eye drops but who knew. Anyway now we know that she will have a reaction and to not treat her with that. She looks worse than she feels. She has been a really big girl about the whole thing.
Update on kids
Ellie:
She is still getting up in the middle of the night to get in bed with us. At least she goes to bed in her bed.
She loves the movie The Nutcracker..the barbie one. However, she calls it The Nutcrack and cannot understand why that is funny.
She just got over pink eye but we are still on the medication. One of the joys of going to daycare. Like the rest of us she is ready to wear flip flops again so we are waiting for summer already. It only took one ice storm.
Tallyn:
He did much better this last game. They still lost 21-15. Tallyn scored 5 points.
He is excited about a boys lock in at the end of the month. I think there are like 8 or 10 of his friends going.
He had a great report card...principals honor roll.
He is looking forward to spring break and warmer weather so he can skate.
Rebel:
He also had a great report card. He got a C in science which kept him off the honor roll but still some great grades.
He has another girlfriend...this is exhausting.
He is still doing great at guitar lessons. The instructor parks far away from my car now.
He has a lock in at the church at the end of the month also.
He is putting effort into not having the crappiest attitude around...that is what he says anyway.
He is also ready for his spring break...any reason not to go to school.
He would kill me if he read this but.....he is getting a hint of a mustache. This is all coming way to fast!!
All in all we are just staying busy.
OH!! Jeff passed his level II electrical test making him a IE Tech II. We are all really proud of him. It was a long year of studying.

Flag football
Our church had a flag football game today after church... Jeff is the one in the white shorts and red shirt. There were 6 teams of guys. They all had a lot of fun. I'm sure most of them are home now with ice packs watching other guys play football!
Ice Storm
We were iced in for a few days and loved every minuet of it. I think I gained 10 lbs because we baked so much sweet stuff. We played a lot of Wii (Jeff is a pro bowler now) and Guitar Hero.
I finished "Eclipse" and started "Breaking Dawn". I can't believe I got addicted to that series but I did and I love the Cullens!!
