September 23, 2009

Math homework before playing. All 3 questions and 7 minutes of it. (And that includes the pencil-related arguing and stomping).

September 22, 2009

What's on his grocery list? Mac and cheese and apples.

September 21, 2009

Gymnastics is now on Monday night. That means that Jon isn't home, and the boys go with us for an hour or so.


I miss Tuesday night gymnastics.

September 20, 2009

Sunday was a big picture day around here. First of all, Ellie lost a tooth on Saturday night.

On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa Wilson were here to watch a football game. And a little pre-game gymnastics exhibition.
Ellie and Rowan don't care too much for football games. They live for the ones that happen during nap time.
Conor played defense for the first half.
And quarterback for the second half. (Recognize the guy in the shades, holding the down marker thing?)


He threw for 2 touchdowns, so I'd say he was a pretty good one.

September 19, 2009

Jon and Conor went to the UNI game tonight. The Panthers won, of course. 30-0.

September 18, 2009

Ice keem cone.

September 17, 2009

She's a fabulous gymnast. Maybe that's why she has such a cute throwing method. That leg kicks up every time.

September 16, 2009

This girl really likes Taylor Swift.
When you couple that with the fact that Jon is their father, you get this:



(You wear diapers, I wear T-shirts).

September 15, 2009

Rowan's baby.

September 14, 2009

Pretty much every morning, as he's trying to get out the door to work, Jon hears "You want to play a little football, Daddy?" And while he wants to every morning, he does play a little most mornings.

The camera work is shoddy at best, so I hope you don't get motion sickness. Even if you do (I did), I think it's worth it!

September 12, 2009

Ellie's newest trick. That I don't let her do anymore. Notice the picture perfect finish.

September 11, 2009

Popcorn chicken, french fries and lemonade. And a pop for Mommy.

September 10, 2009

Ever heard the saying "Sell crazy somewhere else. We're all stocked up here."? That's the slogan for our house lately.

September 9, 2009

Conor got a new mouth guard. And he loves it. Really loves it. Like, "have it in his mouth all the time" loves it.

September 8, 2009

New DS games!

September 7, 2009

On the way home Monday, Rowan slept for about 45 minutes. He rested for a bit that afternoon, with his juice and his "football blanket with Wo-wan on it".

September 6, 2009

More lawnmower driving. This time to get the roller coaster!

September 5, 2009

I love the lawnmower party. Really, it has everything.
Cousins:


Grandpas and tractor driving:

Hanging out in the driveway with a beverage:

Chatting in the driveway with snacks:


Stuffed animals that fall from the sky:



And old men singing songs:

September 4, 2009

All three kids and their cartwheels of varying skill. Ellie and her newly learned hand gestures, Conor and his boy cartwheel, and Rowan's "cartwheel" with turtle-like dismount.

Unless you truly enjoy the sound of cicadas, turn down the volume.

September 3, 2009

The Panthers played today.

Cheerleaders and all.

September 2, 2009

Sonic has half price drinks every day from 2:00 to 4:00. Every once in a while we swing through after school for a $.50 slush.

September 1, 2009

No videos for awhile. My camera is slowly dying. It still takes pictures, but I don't know how long that will last! I'm hoping a very, very long time.



Jon and Rowan replaced the tires on Ellie's bike. I'm sure Rowan was a ton of help.

August 31, 2009

Conor's Sports Illustrated for Kids arrived yesterday. That means he's unavailable until he's read it completely. He's pretty upset by the injustice of that fact that his comes monthly while Jon gets his weekly.

August 30, 2009


Rowan found Conor's belt and had Ellie help him with it. That can only mean that he's going to work. (Seriously. That's what he thinks it's for. Work.) Add in his "work" shoes, and he's set.

August 29, 2009

Ellie found some books in her room that she wanted to give to Rowan. Which is good, because he only has like 4, 583.

August 28, 2009

Rowan is 2!!

August 27, 2009


I know there's been a lot of Conor here lately, but this is actually a good picture of him!
