Aren't they cute.  They're just like their father. :)

Joeseph Ross was born on November 20, 1989 after many hours of labor.  Isn't he cute.  He is named after my grandfather Ross and Rodney's father Joseph, but we call him Joey.  There was quite a lot of anticipation before this little guy finally came into the world.  The waiting room was filled with family, Rod was called away from the delivery room many times to talk to his mom on the phone and my mom drove through a blizzard to be there in the room.     Now I'll openly admit here that I was not really prepared for what was ahead of me by being a MOM.  I gained a great deal of my respect for my mother after Joey was born.  He was a handful, but it has been wonderful and entertaining the whole way.  Looks like he's been into Granny's flour in this picture.  But see the look of innocence on his face.  He's ten now and he can still look that cute and innocent.  Blond hair, blue eyes, and that innocent look......look out girls when this one starts dating.  Joey is a pretty typical 10 year old.  He's smart, but he really doesn't like to do his homework.  He loves digimon and pokemon.  You see, I know he's smart, because he can name every pokemon and what they all evolve into.  I can't remember five of them.  He's definately more like his father than me.  He's always making jokes and singing songs.  His jokes also include sneaking up on his mother to see how high she'll jump.  He does have his Mom's interest in computers though.  If I'm not on here, he usually is.  Lately he's been asking for help to start his own web page.  I can see him making a better one than me and a lot faster than me when he finally gets into it.  This was Joey's first Halloween.  His Aunt Deb made his constume for him.  Thanks Auntie!!!!!!!!!    Considering his unending sense of humor, it looks like we picked the right costume for him.  This year he and his brother are going as the guy in "Scream".  They have both been warned not to dress up and wait in the garage for their mother to get home from working the night shift.  You have to stay ahead of these two characters and that's not easy.  Isn't he cute. 

Darrell Allen was born January 21, 1991.   Isn't he cute too.  Darrell is more like me.  He can be a very serious little boy.  Don't get me wrong.  We both know how to have fun, but we do have a tendency to worry.  He's nine years old and he's already worried about what he's going to do for a living.  The latest thing he came up with was he wants to work at the cheese plant with me.  He thinks it would be cool to run the machines like his mom.  I don't even want to think how old I'll be then.  These guys are growing up way too fast.  Where does the time go?  Darrell also likes his mom's music.   Prozzak is his favorite right now.  He can ride in the back of my Mustang with the stereo blaring and still be asking me to turn it up.   He's a rocker.   Darrell also loves anything to do with Digimon and Pokemon and playing on the computer.  Needless to say we have unlimited internet access in our house or it would be impossible for his dad to do his courses.  This little clown looks like he's done for the day.  He's so adorable.   Thanks again to Auntie Deb for making the costume!!!!!!!  Darrell also has his mother's love for animals.  He has his own dog, Sarah, a yellow labrador retriever and he and Joey share a cat named "Mew" and a kitten they named "Snoogy 2" in honor of a cat I had long before they were born.
