Chance Facts:

You know your ears are different sizes.
If your right ear is bigger than your left you are going to be better at math.
If your left ear is bigger you will be a better reader.



By the way Jax really enjoys Chance facts!

Chance is too funny

Chance was too funny today so I had to take time out to post before I forgot. I took Chance to the dr today due to a spranged ankle. On the way their Chance said,"Ya know you can find strength in the bible."
Very much in anticipation of his response I said,"Really, where did you figure this out".
Chance- "It says in the bible, If you find the ant...you will find your strength".
"Wow", I said.
"Yep, you know one of those four guys said it...in the bible.....like Matthew or someone"-Chance.
"You mean Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John"-Cindy.
"Yeah, them guys....but I am almost positive it was Matthew"-Chance.
"How did you find out about that?"-Cindy.
"It's on the back of my ant farm box!....Find the ant and you will find your strength....cause ants can lift 10x or more their body weight....they are the true EXTREME animals....."
This continued on for a while and I have to say it was quite interesting.

After the dr appt I asked Chance what time he had lunch.
"HMMMMM, I don't know...Do you have Mrs. Peugh's cell number so you can call and ask her?"
"No actually I don't but we will ask the secretary when we get to school."
Well, apparently he did not here me ask the secretary because I got a phone call at 12:00 from the principal.
"Hello, Mrs. Garrett?....This is Mr. Martin from Moss Elementary. I have your son here and he said you needed to know what time he went to lunch......."
CAn you imagine?!
I asked Chance when I picked him up if he had talked to his principal today.
He said, "Sure did.....I went to him and told him my mom, Cindy Garrett, needed to know what time I went to lunch and you can call her on her cell."
At least we know now he doesn't play around with a chain of command, why mess around just go straight to the top!

We had a good week. Everyone is finally getting well. Jax still has a little cough but seems fine other than that. The boys are good, including Gregory, and I am trudging along with school work. Not too much to report, which could be a good thing! : )

Princess' new best friend

I would like everyone to meet Toby Tyler, Princess' new B/F. Did I mention how happy she is that Toby Tyler has come to stay with us. Toby is about an 8 mo. old Beagle with a great personality. We acquired him without cost from a very nice country couple. They were unsure if he could make it here in the "big city" so we are on a trial run.

Crazy Cat

I told you my cat was crazy!

Had to post.

Hiding for Vanny



It worked!




Pure look of accomplishment.

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry I have not posted in a while, I go into further detail lower in the blog. I will probably only be able to post on the weekends now that we have all gotten so busy.

I thought this picture was too funny. I snapped it at the right moment to get a clear reading of the package. Jay was literally in my face wanting to eat chicken patties, his current fav. I can't complain, this meal he can actualy microwave himself. All the fuss was due it being a new package and the alarming thought of not being able to open it.

The boys waiting for each other to finish their games. We have games every Saturday, up to three a day, and an occasional game Tuesday evenings.

This is a picture of Nana's last visit. We miss you!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some pics of grandparents in action. G-daddy and Gramommy at their best. To the far right you will notice a group of very concerned young adults crouching for the timid Vanny. What we won't do for our pets.

Sorry guys! I know I have not posted anything in quite a while. We are super busy. (By the way, super has been my new word since our Labor day trip)
The boys have began soccer, my school is really getting into high gear with tests every thursday, Greg has been working tons of overtime, and Jax has not been feeling well. Weww, made me tired just typing it. : )

Greg's birthday was this past week. We did not do much, but we did get to sing happy birthday and eat a variety of cheesecakes (thanks to our local wal-mart).
