WOW! This picture is of Lilly and Todd when we lived in Virginia. Todd's parents came over to watch a movie with us. They are the ones that got us hooked on subtitles....as you can see in the back ground on the TV screen.

Out and About

Today we went to Smith and Edwards in Farr West. Clint needed to get some ammo for his hand gun and I wanted to get a wheat grinder for our food storage and of course Lilly wanted to get her candy. The boys were excited for the shopping too!

After we got our things, we decided to go to Sams Club. So that I could get my ingredients for my freezer swap party. Lilly by then was all hyped up on candy that she was a wild child in Sams. She prefers to walk instead of ride in the cart so I told Clint that he was in charge of her. I went my way with the cart and the boys and Clint when his way with Lilly, I got alot done faster while Clint and Lilly were tasting all the free samples. Then Clint pointed out to me that one of my Weber Buddies was there and we chatted for bit.

Then at the check out a guy came up to us and said how fun it must be to have twins, boy and girl he asked. Clint said no, both boys. The guy said he had a twin sister and that people have asked him if he and his sister are identical! We are used to people asking if they are twins, not if one is a boy and one is girl. I know that Deacon has long hair, but I just don't have the heart to cut his pretty curls.

It was a fun day!

Another Win Another Ring

GOOO STEELERS!!!!!!!


In 2006, when we lived in Virginia, The Camarena Family came over to watch the Steelers win the Superbowl.

January

This is what we have been up to this Month


Trenton.......my glasses........ need I say more.

The girls and......the twins.


Kate, Trenton and Deacon hanging out at Grandma G's house.


Clint had surgery to remove a mass. It was a bit scary to think that he might have cancer, but we both felt like the mass would be benign, which we just found out it was benign. (Sorry Clint, no super bowl trip for you)


The boys

Stop Arboring

Lilly enjoys watching Word World. And I am totally fine with it because it is educational. The other day, Lilly was watching an episode that featured three little pig brothers who were trying to build of fort. That is about all that I saw of it while I was folding laundry. I went about my other activities, Clint was home and was feeding the boys their lunch.

Clint and I argue over stupid things. We happened to be arguing about something, I can't remember even what it was, but Here comes Lilly and she says to Clint and I...."ARE you Arboring?" I wasn't sure what she said, but then I quickly figured it out. What she really meant was arguing. All I could do was laugh. I said where did you learn that Lilly. She said "When pig was building a fork...(she really meant fort but said fork) with his brothers and they kept arboring. You shouldn't arbor MOM!" It is amazing how children can be so aware of things around them.

So now when Clint and I argue and we just can't solve whatever we are arguing about we say "Are you arboring with me?" Some how that makes everything all better.
