We're gonna be famous!!!

Mom and Dad got us these drums. Now it's just a matter of time before we are full on rockstars!!!

TO THE GRADUATES!!!

Hey guys. It's me, Obadiah! This is me on the last day of school! I graduated to 2nd grade! To celebrate mommy dyed me and Malachi's hair green. You wanna know what's funny? She forgot to tell my Dad that it was permanent dye. Isn't that funny? Dad? You're not laughing Dad.



This is me with my best buddies Steven and Austin. They graduated to 2nd grade too!



These are my other best buddies and my neighbors, Coleman and Mason. Coleman graduated to 3rd grade and Mason graduated to 1st grade. We were so excited about our last day of school that we did a "LAST DAY OF SCHOOL DANCE"!!! Check it out!





This is my little brother Malachi. He graduated a few days later. He's going from pre-school into kindergarten! Way to go little brother! We're so proud of you!



This is from Malachi's graduation ceremony. He put on this crazy hat and him and his buddies were singing the craziest songs! It was way cool. After the graduation ceremony we went out onto the playground. It was so crowded that no one noticed that we went to the cookie table like 18 times! It was awesome!

Hi everyone, we went camping on Memorial Day weekend and we wanted to show you some of the pictures we took.



One of the best things about camping is burning stuff up at the campfire! My big brother Obadiah prefers his marshmallows WELL DONE!



Maybe the best thing about camping is just being able to eat all day long. I sure do love strawberries!



Obadiah likes them too!!!



Uh-oh, the old people are starting to eat all our strawberries!!!



Oh great. Now Dad got ahold of them. That's it for the strawberries.



After dinner Obadiah had the brilliant idea that we should tell scary stories around the campfire. I thought that sounded like an awesome idea!



Daddy told us a scary story that really freaked Obadiah out. I was totally cool but Obadiah was crying about how he was never gonna be able to sleep again. It's hard to get to sleep when there are peg legged prowlers with hooks for hands going from campsite to campsite to kill little boys as they fall asleep in their tents. (...did you just hear something?)

So, we didn't sleep that night but luckily we had the next day off. So we drove all the way home, locked all the doors in the house and slept the day away. It takes a long time to recover from vacation.

This is Obadiah and Zachariah... right before all the crying started.


Here I am, aren't I cute? I'm puttin' on my fight face. MOMMA SAID TO KNOCK YOU OUT!!!

rainy day fun

Have you ever heard of "Jowling"? That is when you get a digital camera close to your face and you shake your head super fast from side to side and take a picture. It usually makes your face look pretty distorted. Well, that is what we do on rainy days. Except we put our own spin on it, and we do it upside down!

This was dad's idea. We're not claiming this one.

Obadiah is a "NIFTY KID"!!!

Hi everyone, I asked my Daddy to come to my school today to take pictures of me receiving an award for being a "NIFTY KID"!!! This is when we all walked into the auditorium for the ceremony. You see that girl about three kids behind me? She's a little taller than the rest of us, and she's wearing a pink, white, and black top? That's Anika. She's SO pretty! I've got a MAJOR crush on her. One of my buddies told her and now her face gets all pink when I say hi to her.

This is when the principal called my name to receive the award. Everyone cheered SO LOUD! I walked right up to him, looked him in the eye, shook his hand and said "Thank you very much". Daddy says I should look someone in the eye when I greet them.

A few other kids got the award too. That's one of them sitting on the stage next to me. We sat up there while the principal talked about how great we were. I get that all the time, but it never gets old!

And here it is, the coveted "NIFTY KID AWARD"!!! I'd like to thank my parents, without you I would have never made it to where I am. I'd like to thank Anika, the future is looking bright for us. I'd like to thank Spencer, Simon, Gavin, Steven and Austin, you guys have always been there for me. I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody. (music starts playing) Thanks everybody! (much applause)
