it's official--he DOES have a brain!

David participated in some psychology tests at the U of O, one of which included having an MRI of his brain.  Cool, huh?

heart attack!

For Family Home Evening, Nelson, David, and I "heart attacked" Heather's and Aaron's doors.

I LOVE my kids!

oh, no!

So, Heather comes home from school this afternoon, all upset because she was in a little accident.  She said she was at a red light, thought it turned green, started to turn left, and got hit on the driver's side.  Everyone was OK, but the other car's front looked pretty smooshed.  She gave them her information and got theirs.  I just knew it!  These car things come in threes and I've been waiting for another mishap.  It's going to be just like a few years ago when we had the pickup and the Plymouth and I was on the phone to the insurance company every other week.  So, she takes me out to the car to see the damage.  Here's a link to the damage pictures.
  She got a good spanking afterward.

bowling

So, we went bowling for some "wholesome recreational activity."

 

 

As you can see by the scores (and Heather's face) we're not quite ready for the leagues. 

I think we'll stick to Wii bowling for the time being. We are much better at that.  :-)
