Family update for those of our family that are across the country and across the ocean.
This is Gilly after he won this shirt at school. He also likes to post gang signs whenever he can. This kid hilarious. Every time I make mashed potatoes and gravy with rolls (twice a week) he tells me that I'm the "best cooker ever" and "mom, you should get a job at a restaurant cause you cook so good". Anyone who has had my cooking knows that isn't the case. Jeff has taught him to call me "pretty mama" and I laugh every time Gilly says, "Dad, we suuuuure love our pretty mama don't we?". Who wouldn't love that?
Emily. There are few things about this kid that don't make me smile. She carries around a bird guide and binoculars. Right now she can't wait to catch a frog, we go frogging on warm days. She loves trains, she can tell the difference between an SD70 Ace and an SD90 Mac.
My almost teenager Abby. The ups and downs have started. She is a fantastic girl that loves art. And her wiener dog. She is starting to find her own style and she is a great teacher. Right now she's trying to show Em how to draw dragons. And her addiction to Pepsi is almost as bad as my addiction to Mt. Dew.
This is her with her hair curled. I love when she wants her hair curled!
Maggie the Wiener
she eats poo and is pretty much a glorified pillow
but a part of our family none the less
I love this dog! This is Molly. She's Em's pup and besides ruining our backyard with her feces she is the perfect dog. On hot days she lays in the pond. Pretty much all of the Koi are dead.
Em being her silly self eating jalapeno string cheese.
Ahh, Jeff. I couldn't be luckier. In this picture he is showing Gilly how to spackle. I'm so glad that he has turned Garrett into his apprentice. They do everything together. Every project (and there are many) he includes Gilly and teaches him the little secrets to doing things correctly.
We call these two Dip and Dot.
There are so many more pictures to post but these were a few of my favorites.

Love the pictures and all the updates!!! I miss your chickens so much! Emily needs to come here and catch some frogs with the boys!
your family is hilarious. you are the perfect mother for them, pretty mama.
Thanks for the updates and the newest pictures! Can't believe how much they are growing! Tell them to stop!!! Or just bring them to Oz!!! Then Em could catch lots of frogs here, and snakes - but they are deadly so I wouldn't encourage the snake catching. Gilly and Jeff could help Daz with the many projects he has, he could use an apprentice or 3. And beautiful Abby...if the ups and downs get too much...there is always study abroad for a semester or year! :) Hope I can be as cool and wonderful as you pretty mama...Love and miss you all!!!
What great photos! Love the updates and seeing you all. It never is dull at your house.
