Home Town Idol!l

How fun to have someone from our town on American Idol. She did a great job tonight. We voted a ton for her! Go Katelyn!!!

cooking lessons......

every night the kids ask me if they can help cook dinner......the problem is....my mom never taught me how to cook, she only taught me how to shop! I guess what I am saying is I am not the best teacher. I am more of a casserole queen!

Grant and Caroline making pancakes and hash browns.

A perfect one.....

Well......didn't turn out that perfect.....oops......

I could eat this whole pan!!!!

Voila.......they were quite tasty!

a few funny stories......

Caroline saw Grant in the hallway at school the other day and hugged him............a new girl at school said......"is that your boyfriend? NO, its my brother........HA!

Jim's TV stopped working in his man cave. Lets just say....we don't want the same shows, he goes downstairs, and I stay upstairs. The other night he was sitting on the sofa with me wanting to watch MY tv........my dad pulls up in the driveway, and sees us sitting close to each other......he walks in the door and says "what are you two lovebirds doing?".....guess it is very unusual to see us sitting together!!! HA!

We do impounds for the City of Des Moines. Some customers were coming to get their personal belongings out of their car. They had about 10 speakers in the back....a box.....and a few other things. As they are walking back one of the guys started losing his pants........I couldn't help myself...I started singing.......pants on the ground, pants on the ground....looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.....HA!

why.....why.....why.........

Ali.....why did you leave.....you were my favorite, and now you're gone!!!!!!

Please come back next week!!!!
