We’re Living The …

high normal life! We finally, after buying this house two years ago bought a dining room table! Yay for us! We had a small table for the kids to eat at but, nothing for the entire family to sit and eat at together…This is something we have sorely missed.

The kids missed it too…

This doesn’t look as good as it tasted.

Even Grissom ate  one and a half

pieces  of this chicken, not no stinkin’ chicken

nuggets, real chicken and to top it off (I thought for sure his body would go into some sort of shock) he even ate some asparagus !  This was so great !

Who would  have thunk  it?!  Ok ok, I know the cute veggie eating boy has no shirt on at the table…one step at a time folks, one step at a time…

To think, I really considered  naming our blog  “The Redneck Roses”, might not be a bad idea after all.

We Love Our Wii

We bought a Wii…and is it a whole lotta fun! The entire fam has been playing for at least four hours…non-stop! Great exercise I might add…we are all in need of a bath…stinky and sweaty. Yuk!

I would definitely recommend a Wii to everyone !

I wish we had more fam and friends to come over…p.a.r.t.y time!

Anyway, I need to get back…the kids are starting a game of golf!

Apple Blossom Kids Parade Part I

Maddie and Sam

Mallorie waving hi!

Quick pic I took this morning…
They are looking so much older!

Part II

The kids getting ready for the parade…Grissom bought a monkey!

Grissom talking to his Mom on Dads bluetooth… Grissom waiting and waiting for the parade to start.

Weekend!

Thank goodness it’s Friday!
This week went by so fast…and pretty boring uneventful as well.

I am currently working on a painting project:
sanding, painting and staining a couple of end tables…
I am extremely happy with my first table and will take
some pics soon. It looks so cool, I can’t wait to get the
second one done.

Grissom and daddy having some boy time…shaving! Too cute!

We have a busy weekend ahead of us, Madison, Sam and Mallorie
will be in the Apple Blossom parade tomorrow…I’m sure pictures
will ensue. The carnival is in town, so I’m sure will go…the kids
won’t shut up let us forget about that one.

Lots and lots of yard work needs to be done as well…if weather permits!
That’s asking a lot, around here. (Cody is secretly hoping for rain, I’m sure! Hehe!)

I need to put bark out around my roses in the front yard…they are looking
beautiful already…I’ll have to take pictures.

Well, I guess that’s all folks…have a glorious weekend y’all!

A Year Ago…

These were taken April 7th of last year…

They grow so fast…I’m going to stop blinking…
maybe that will help!

Keep going there’s more from today!

Our Annual Day at the Park 2008

Group shot by my favorite tree.
Sam was less than thrilled…can you tell?
Mom, we’re tired of taking pictures!

Grissom in action…he’s a Ladies Man, it says so on his shirt!

Mallorie, Sam and Madison horsing around…
Somebody is going to get hurt!
Sam poked Maddie in the eye right AFTER I said that!
Of course!

Cody & Cooper…yum can I have some of that?

Part 2

Beauty

These two middle kids…too cute!

We have first and last…too cute as well!

This pose was Sam’s idea…it turned out
sweet!

Part 3

Having some yummy lunch…

Look at that Cheeto mouth…the river in the background.

Grissom was pretending to be a dog…good boy!

Trying to get a shot of Cody…he wasn’t very cooperative.

The day (it got to 71 degrees) was gorgeous and we really
needed to get out and enjoy it. Even Cooper had a great time.

It’s Never Too Late…

in life…to learn new things. I have been on my friend’s waiting list for weeks now to have our blog design changed. Cody and I really enjoy doing this blog stuff together and the girly blog that I had before wasn’t doing it for Cody.
Anyway, I started poking around here and there and got it in my head that I could learn how to make my own blog design…ya know what? I did it! I have learned so much in the last week or so…I’m just a little excited! I have so much more to learn and am looking forward to it all!

So beware…I’m a changer…you’ll never know what to expect when you come to The Rose Family Blog.

We are still on our spring BRReak (did you catch the brr? It’s still freezing up here!)and trying to enjoy each other and have some fun…relax a bit. Actually, I’m pretty sure Cody is itchin’ to get back to work…seeing how crazy it can be around here! Hehe! Take me with you!

Lot’s of things to post about…on Monday!
