What do you remember about us?

a sweet friend of mine had thison her blog and it looked like fun!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (jeff or Heidi). It doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Garfield


We got garfield not long after we got to Germany. The kids

really wanted a kitty...we watched the paper for months and found nothing. Ty kept saying he wanted an orange kitty. Jeff finally saw a kitten for sale in one of the papers and we went to pick him up...it was our lucky day! he was orange! whew. So the kids named him garfield and he has remained true to his namesake...fat. lazy. onery. and yes, he even likes pasta.

SADIE


Sadie is our Great Dane that we rescued while we were in Germany. She is 2 now, She was 86 pounds when we got her (she should have been about 115) and she is about 105lbs now. She is a Huge part of our family...literally. She thinks she is a lap dog and wants to be where we are. The kids climb all over her and i think she loves it? She is rotten like the rest of our kids! (obviously by the picture)

Tyler


Tyler.

i have to stop and think of all the things i can say about this one! He is definitly his fathers son...the apple didnt fall far from that tree. Talk about a clown! this kid will keep you laughing for days! if it isnt his silly faces its the things he says that come from nowhere. He is 6 now and in 1st grade. He had a rotten kindergarten year so we were a little worried about him this year but he loves his teacher and seems to be having a great time in first grade. He is definitly our most affectionate child, he always has his arms around you, touching or kissing you...that wont always be a good thing i am sure! i keep waiting for a call from his teacher....

Alleah


Alleah is 2 1/2 now....(wow, a 13 year old and a 2 year old, at the same time! YIKES!) We call her AlliCat, Stinky, alli, and most of all TROUBLE. She is SO much fun, you never know what she is going to say next, and most of the time when she is doing something naughty...she knows it and she will bat her big blue eyes at you and smile her mischievous smile and all you can do is laugh! She is WAY to smart for MY own good...and hers too. Alli loves her brothers...Zach especially because he gives her piggy back rides everyday. she loves to be outside (you can tell by her mosquito bitten legs!) and would rather be naked than have clothes on any day! We love her beautiful red curls...although its not so fun to comb them! last week when we were getting ready for church i was combing her hair as she was running away from me and screaming at me saying "STOP BUGGING ME!!!!"
She is super snugly!

Zachary


Zahary is 10, and SO smart. He is in 5th grade this year and is our math wiz, (sometimes he answers his sisters math questions....which doesnt make her happy!) He started playing flag football this season and seems to be having a great time. Zach is our "thinker" he is always coming up with new things to invent "when he grows up" and never fails to tell us how something might work better if we do it "this way". One day i think he will be a doctor or do some breakthrough research that will change the world!

Sariah


I never thought a teenager could bring so much joy into my life...but this one does. Sariah is still my angel...my princess...my girl!

She is doing awesome in school, couldnt ask for better grades, and she seems to have chosen a good group of friends here.

Intead of soccer this season she chose to tryout for cheerleading. (much to my dismay). I wasnt really sure if she would make the squad since she is a "soccer player" not a cheerleader...they are a VERY different species you know! but we rooted her on, she tried out and...SHE MADE IT! She is having a great time and again...much to my dismay...she is starting to "move" like a cheerleader. GGGGRRRR. But if you ask me...she is definitly the cutest girl on the squad...i could be a little biased though! Any how, thank goodness she is a good girl, thank goodness she is who she is...I would love her with all my heart...even if she wasnt!
