Teaching Digital Immigrants how to Use the Blog

Today I am teaching my parents how to post on the blog. This is the 2nd time I have taught them and I am hoping it isn't a case of "3rd times the charm." They think I am mocking them, but really I love them. :)

Above is a picture of the 2 illegal...I mean digital immigrants.

Smart Kiddos!

I am just bursting with pride...the good kind...for how well my kids are doing in school. They are so well behaved, and are smart and work so hard. Kate made the principals honor roll again and also got back some great standardized tests scores. Clair also did really well (no true grades for Kindergarten) and is just really learning and growing SO much! And, if I had to give Bowen grades for being my little helper at home...of course he would be making all good marks too! Way to go Bright kids...you really are...well...BRIGHT! :)

Thanks to our good friend for this cute photo! I will make sure you all get copies soon!

A few other oldies

My dad wanted me to post these other pictures from my cousin. I love them.

Call Charm X 5

My cousin Theresa posted this picture of my dad (the youngest...at the far end) with 3 of his brothers and his dad. I have never seen this picture and I just love it. I figure since not every member of our family has a Facebook account that I would post this on the blog for others to enjoy too. Since the Call men in our family (even younger generations)all talk about Call Charm...I thought the title was suiting. What handsome men, but shhh don't them that...it will go to their heads! :)

Rockin' New Years Eve!

We invited a few friends over (we had 13 people total) for a Beatles Rock Band New Years Eve party...or Ringo'ed in the new year! Get it Ringo...Beatles...ok...
So we set up a big screen in the sun room and KT and Creighton brought their projector and we rocked out and ate (we had SO much yummy food it was insane) for several hours. Here is one the the groups playing!

Here is some talking and eating...

Here is the all girl PJ band!

Here is all the married ladies...all the married ladies...since they liked it then they went and put a ring on it! Oh oh!

It was a fun night! Happy New Year!

After Christmas Sunday

The Sunday after Christmas I asked Stephen to take the kids outside and take some photos of them in their new clothes from Stephen's parents! They looked so cute!

Stephen was so frustrated because they wouldn't all look at the camera! (He's just now figuring this out?) :)

See the kids far away....that's them! :) (Look at the poor wind blown greenery on the front of the house! The wind had been horrible!)

Up close, but once again, not all looking! But dang they are cute!

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas!

Here are Bowen's gifts from Santa!

Here are Kate's (left) and Clair's (right) gifts from Santa!

Here are the three little monkey's waiting to see what Santa brought them!

Run, run, run to see what you got! Oma and Opa were left behind in the dust!

Kate so happy to get a DSi! (Sorry the picture is blurry...it shows her true joy!)

Bowen and his train and bike!

Clair and her beloved violin! She loves it so much!

Yoyo Stephen playing Bach's concerto in G minor!

Clair just loved her violin! She wants to play it all the time!

Look at those eyes! She can't get enough of it!

Bowen watching his train go through the tunnel!

It was a great day! The kids were happy, and the parents were happy! What a great day! The only thing that would have made it better would have been having Mimi, Papa, Emily, Joel, Britni, Jack, and Brooklyn with us!
