It seems like just yesterday that Grandma Rindy was with us.  Can you believe it has been a year today?
3-12-13    This pictures is of AJ and Aarons birthday party in May of 2012 and I think she started going down hill after that.  We all miss her that is for sure...  I know for a fact that the men....Paul and Lynn miss her very much too.
They are still trying to adjust to farming without her.  She was a saint to feed them almost 3 meals a day for six days a week for pretty much their entire lives except when they were on their missions or maybe in college.  Bless her heart.  I am sure she is happy with grandpa Rindy once again.
Grandma we all miss you!!

Oldie but Goodie

Can you pick out your kids family similarities?

Spring Spectacular's

I thought for this month it would be fun if we could focus our energies, stories, musings, or whatever you call your writings on what you all have going on during your respective Spring Breaks!  I think between six families and a mom and pop we should have some fun things happening. 

I know ours will be fun simply cause Judge's birthday falls during it. 

And whose March isn't going to be fun with the knowledge that Daylight Savings will be commencing next week?  Anyone?

So let the good times roll and don't forget to share!!!!

This is my first official blog for my family.  I have had a great and terrific wife that blogs regularly, but I didn't even know how.  Behind the time on technology with blogging I suppose.
Here is a bit of info from us to you.
Kristie is working away at her Masters. Hurray!!!!!!!! We are in her final semester and it is awesome.  She has been very diligent and has done well.  I will one day be as good a teacher as she is. :)
Reagan is loving dance.  She has a recital coming up in a few months.  She would dance her feet off everyday if we would let her.
We just signed Koufax up in Soccer and he is psyched.  I hope he plays better than I did as a kid... Thinking back, I remember picking dandelions, and playing tag with my friends.  That is what soccer is always about.
I am just ticking away as I always do.
I know its not much for now, but now I am on the blog and can add to it.

OK, OK...DON'T PANIC...I WAS NOT IN A WRECK....JUST A FLAT TIRE...
BUT............
This happened on Thursday night at around 9pm.  I thought my tire looked alittle low when I went out to the parking lot from work.............I started home and about at Peteneet I heard a funny noise but still nothing...............It wasn't until I was about at the road to turn to Andersons when I heard this terrible sound and I knew..............I knew.................. crap...I had to hurridly find a driveway to pull into because I did not want to park on the side of the road...........it was dark, cold,wet..........need I say more.
I pulled into Gordon Turners driveway and made the dreaded call..........first the home number......ring, ring.....no answer..........then the cell number...........ring, ring........no answer..........then the farm number............ring, ring.........no answer....WHERE WAS MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR WHEN I NEED HIM...............I calmed down and called the home number again............this time....................Rindlisbachers..........Honey, I have a flat...........a big sigh on the other end.
could you come get me.........  yes, yes..after a lengthy conversation he came and we left the car there overnight............oh, my baby in someone elses driveway...........she must have been scared......ha ha
Friday morning after chores we got it fixed and she is mine again...........I am a happy driver.............
now all I have to do is pay the piper.....

p.s.  this isn't my actual tire but this is what it looked like.....no fixing that one!!!

Elocution in P*town

AJ: "When I grow up, I'm going to get married to pizza and have pizza babies ... and then EAT them."

"When I grow up, I'm going to be in the Olympics. ... probably for America."

(In his prayer after President's Day): "We're thankful for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln." {Thank Heavens he didn't include our current Oval Office Occupant ... Adam and I wouldn't have been able to say 'Amen'.}

Aaron: "I'm going to name my kid Tyrannosaurus Rex."

(In his prayer): "Please bless that the dinosaurs will be nice and beautiful when they come back to life."

(When I asked him why he wore white socks with his suit on Sunday): "I wanted to look holy. Black doesn't look holy, but white does."

Melia: (Playing by herself with dinosaurs and Troll Dolls): "We are not evil, we are protectedly evil!"

"Mom, I had a bad dream. I already said a prayer, but Jesus is busy with AJ and Aaron!"

"I want everyone to think I am a 6-year-old, so will you call me '6-year-old Melia'? (Then later): I am 6-year-old Melia. Or maybe 10-year-old Melia...." (Deep in thought)... "How about 15-year-old Melia. Yes, that's it."

Prolific Peacocks

Nia: AAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!  In a very high pitched yell....'nuff said!

Jenner:
He told me the other day...."Mom you need to have a baby for Nia.  She needs to have a baby too!"

Look Mom!  It's t hundred!.....too

Ender:
I'm going to create a NEW planet...planet T...(said in a creepy Gollum voice)...the black planet of death!

That is making me soooo FUSTERATED!

Judge: Well I think he wins with his wonderfully literate phrase of "You born me that way!"

Awkward!........that's it....just that word thrown out at weird intervals.

Raiden: I akema Udgeja adma yba peekingsa igpa atinla!  (of course this makes mom and dad mad)

omma, omma, ahhh!....sounds a lot like the cry from Dragon Ball Z.

Hallie: Well I didn't think I would be putting one for myself...but wouldn't you know...

Ender wanted to say the prayer in primary on Sunday and wanted help to get started though...so I helped him by saying...We believe in being......and that is when I let daddy take over....

Kale: Xishuangbanna!   (the new cool phrase...everyone is saying it!)
