Happy Birthday KOLE and CLOE!!

We sure love you two!

PiZzA, YuM!

Dad is making his pizza so yummy!

Kole is being so careful!

Emilie and Golden are fixing up a great batch of pizzas.

They must be good!

Food, to Joey, is serious business.

Jimmy is enjoying his too!

(Is that Cloe's milk?)

Cloe's pizza?

I don't want pizza!

Thank you! That is what I want.

Well, maybe.... I'm not sure about this.

Hmmm... it smells ok.

Hey! That was pretty good!

Waitng...waiting...waiting...

While we waited for our pizzas to cook, we did a variety of other things...

get Tony,

get A.J.,

play with Legos,

sleep,

play with toys,

and get other people when they aren't paying attention!

(Hehehehehehehe!)

And Tony wonders why the Uncles get him...

Tony thinks because he is smiling and laughing, Jimmy won't get him.

Boy, was he wromg!

You got got dude.

So now, he tries Golden. (Does he think he is going to get a different response?)

Unlikely. But what does Joey think he is doing?

Truthfully, he got them both.

Katina coming to help? Unbelievable!

(Usually she is the one with the cup full of water!)

The attack!?!

Kole is thinking of something mischevious. Can you tell?
Jimmy is suspecting it is something concerning him...
Hey now partner...
I'm going to get you first!
Take this!
Who's got who?
Jimmy can take him one-handed!
Kole is done...

Talking to Aunt Staci, Lilly and Madi!

Bethani is trying to figure out why she sees

Aunt Staci in one place and hears her in another.

Jabber, slobber, jabber, slobber...

A.J. is talking and Trinity is busy making her book for Lilly while she listens.

Ummmm... what shall I write now.

Hey Lilly! I see you.

My turn to talk.

Reading her story to Lilly.

Painting!

For an activity, we decided to make paint, (in case little ones ate it),

and of course, then paint with it. Bethani is helping mommy and Aunt Emilie make it.

Cloe is getting her painting shirt on.

"Ewwww, how do I make this work? It's all sticky!"

Dot painting?

"Whatcha doin' ?"

Kole got into it!

Cloe liked painting, she didn't like the shirt though.

Some of our history

As far as I know, most of the Golding family records were burned in the Civil War. From doing a quick search I have found them coming to America from several countries, Russia, Germany, England and France to name the most common. The Burnett's have a little more general information, one source saying the name is a Scottish and English name derived from an old French word 'brunete' meaning brown. I also found a cool book, "The Burnett Name in History". It has facts, statistics, and commentary about the name "as far back in history as possible". Whether it is about 'our' Burnett's or not, I guess remains to be seen. The Shelton side, is mainly Danish and some Scottish. The Pickering's are English; and the Smith's are Irish and Welch. What a mix we are! But that is what makes us the crazy, lovable family we all have grown to be. More recently, Dad's side is from Utah through and through. Mom's side is mostly Utahn, with just the one California renegade. :) Amazingly enough, we have great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers from Alabama(Dad's side), and Pennsylvania (Mom's side). I'm not exactly sure where in Alabama, but Mom's ancestors are very close to where Staci and Isaac are. Kind of interesting how things revolve around the past isn't it? So there's a little history in a nutshell, and hopefully at some point there will be lots more to come!
