phone picture post of randomness

Natalie and Nichole had heard about this really good sale that was going on at JCPenny's.  They had all of their formal dresses on sale for 20 dollars.  They both were able to find one that they liked.  I don't have a picture of Nichole in her dress but I was able to snag one of Natalie off of her instagram account.

While Natalie was at the high school doing her office job for the summer she reported to me that the state trophy for track had finally made an appearance. She called to tell me this information and wanted me to come and look at it but, refused to show her face in the picture,  Ella was happy to oblige. 

Who can resist these eyes!

I took Tyler school clothes shopping.  Afterwards we went to Bear's Tooth for lunch.  I love my one on ones with my kids.

During our lunch I caught him licking his whipped cream on the top of his chocolate shake.  He then turns to me and says "I just want to eat my whipped cream in peace".  Funny kid,

Ella had to go in and have some testing done over the summer.  They released her to me for a 1 hour lunch break.  I let her choose where she wanted to go.  Her choice of course was McDonalds.  Her happy meal came with these fun little glasses that you can hook to your straw.  She asked me to only poke out one eye because she wanted to be a pirate.

Nate, Tyler, Ella and I went to go and see a movie in 3D.  Tyler brought home his glasses from the movie and pushed out the lenses then turns to me and says, "I am completely blind without my glasses."  Tyler and I then went on to  have a "Who wore it best" contest.  I think I won and he thinks he did.

Nate has several days a month that he is on call.  During those days we don't seem to get much done.  As you can see from the photo evidence I managed to take a selfie that day and Nate managed to pass several levels on his computer game.  We are such "Noobs"

Just an early morning waiting at the bus stop.  Ella loves to climb this rock and then tell me that she is taller then me.  Its okay with me that she says that because I know she will never be as tall as me.

Nate and Nichole had a leg war.  I wish I could post the hilarious video that I have of the two of them doing this leg war but I was told most sternly that I was not allowed to do so.  It is so great to watch Nate bond with the kids.  Even if he is forcing them to touch his feet.
