Jill was sitting in her office and overheard the boys trying to decide something.  
Grant came up with the idea to draw straws. 
The next thing she heard was Grant telling to Alex to get the pens and he 
would get the paper.  Grant then said whoever
drew the best straw would win. 
HAHAHAHAHA
He thought drawing straws actually meant drawing straws.  
I asked the kids to draw straws for me.  Here is what they drew. 

Alex drawing his straw. 

Alex drew 2 straws.

Ethan's straw.
He drew his straw in a glass. 

Olivia drawing her straw.
Olivia's straw.

Zumba Party by Michelle
I have been going to Zumba since February 2011 and have dropped
30 pounds.  Scott wanted in on the party so he started going with me and he has dropped 20 pounds.  Zumba just moved into an awesome new studio.  
Below are some pictures of Michelle shaking it.  
By the way Michelle has lost an amazing 100 pounds by working hard, 
eating right, and shaking her booty.  
Michelle showing us the moves. 

Michelle is the one in the black pants and blue/gray shirt.

 Mom's 70th Birthday Bash.
My mom wanted to have a birthday party to celebrate 70
years of living.  The invitation said to wear pink or lime green and to wear
wacky sunglasses.  Notice the different sunglasses my mom is wearing.
King and Queen of the Castle, Don (aka Dad) and Linda (aka Mom).
My mom's glasses definitely reflect her personality! 
Mom and Jill.

Ryan loves his shoes so much that he wears them everywhere.  
He wears them when he is taking a bath, running around in his birthday suit, napping, swimming, etc...
If you take them off he yells SHOES! SHOES! SHOES! until you put them back on.
