UH-OH Daddy's in Charge....

Turn on those speakers :-)

Yeah, most mothers would come home from a morning in the ballpark concession stand and find their kids napping or playing in the backyard with the neighbors....imagine my non-surprise when i turned the corner and saw this.....We are the family from the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen" (minus 9 kids)....the part in the movie when the lady says "those kids are all going to end up on milk cartons..." and not the Missing Child ones...THE America's MOST WANTED ones!!

Apparently, Ben is working on perfecting his victory wave....I am surprised he didn't blow all the ladies a kiss :-)

Happy 81st Birthday Grandpa Harold!!

Hmmm...81 birthday cakes....just imagine his stories :-) Cake...Cake...I wish for my 5:00 o'clock drink...NOW.

Grandpa..."what do you think it is??" I bet it's a computer.
Grandpa is a genius....and now he's one with a computer....he promises to read the e-mails and look at the pictures...but, don't expect him to type any kind of response! He also mentioned something about checking into those "dating sites"...look out girls...

Dylan loves his bugs....

Our entertainment for the Day....

Everyone say a little prayer for little miss brown eyes to learn how to use her contact lenses!!

Della, Jerad and Aunt Darlene... Where's Joe??

SHHHHHHHH......... Get out of the way of the TV............

Amy Jo was that your Ford in the driveway?

Game? Aunt Jill, give us all the dirt on Peyton but, don't talk about the "skank" in front of Emily :-)

Well 2 for 3 smiles isn't bad....we'll work on Papa Jeff.
Dad, "Please don't lose all of our inheritance on those Poker sites"!!

Ahhhh....There's Uncle Joe.....

We Love you Grandpa/Great-Grandpa Mendenhall!!
ENJOY.

Gracie's 1st day of Preschool was a breeze....

She jumped right into this boat and introduced herself to the others..... unfortunately, little brother did not feel the same...he cried from the time we got to her school for about 45 mins after we left her.
Gracie's first day of preschool..no problem....
