Yay!! We were having so many problems uploading pictures, it had started becoming a project to update the blog. Well, a phone call to SRT determined that we needed a new modem!! Now we can upload and upload and upload :) So there may be a few too many pics on here!!
I tell people Claire usually looks like a homeless child. She won't let us touch her hair, as you can tell she puts her OWN barrettes in...I don't even need to comment on her face!!
A log full of turtles at the lake!! We stopped the boat so the boys could try and catch some, but they all jumped back into the lake.
A picture of the really spicey nachos Nathan made us for our midnight snack.
Maybe I shouldn't have posted this........we made Jerry turn around on our boat ride after we had gone home to get my high zoom camera....earlier this guy up in Canada had been painting his birdhouse, up on the ladder in Speedos!!!! Funny :)

Kaydra 11, Jayden 10, Cole 9, joint birthday party at the lake
I'm not going to caption under all of these pictures....it because almost a joke at how many birthday pictures each person was taking.....and there were about 5 cameras going at once...When you come to any Wheeling function, you get a feel for the Paparazzi!!!
Kaydra got Hannah Montana...Claire & I have been watching ALL the time...I might have to buy Kaydra a new one!!
Vikings toothbrush
New Air Jordans
Cole was such a comedian....he took every clothing item and told us to take a picture with them. Which is why there are so many of pictures of Cole with his clothes!!
You may notice I've been experimenting with the new camera!
