What I learned today.....

I'm always amazed at what the boys teach me...

1. Poison Ivy is NOT fun, it is so disruptive at school, he had to go to the nurse's office TWICE in one day. He thinks he should just stay home tomorrow.
2. Eating some things are really difficult when your missing two front teeth, just drink Instant Breakfast all day long.
3. The refrigerator is not alive. A certain unnamed Grammie put a very favorite bear-bear on top of the fridge one day when Tyler was being bad. (Imagine that!) Well, Tyler was being Tyler today and I asked him if he wanted bear-bear to sleep with the refrigerator tonight and he said "The fridge doesn't sleep, its not alive." Duh!

Its nice and toasty out there today, we're doing inside chores and really enjoying the A/C!

Memorial Day 2008

It certainly was a "Memorial Weekend" for us this year. Isaak played in a soccer tournament in Columbia, MD, we went to PA to visit Pappy D and MeMa, and helped Uncle Ron celebrate his some-odd-number birthday. Grammie and Grandad West took Tyler and Lukas to "Grammie Camp" from Friday - Sunday. They met us Sunday afternoon and we went on to PA where we met up with Tim. Tim went to PA on Saturday so he could be with his folks when Hospice came for the first visit. We also got to spend some time with Uncle Dan, Kate and Zolani. Isaak enjoyed planting a garden at Pappy's house with Uncle Dan!



Isaak and his team running back to the center after Isaak scored a goal, ended up being the only goal scored that game. (Mom was just a little bit happy!)


I love this action shot of Isaak. I think he wanted to get another goal in the same way!



Deliah (Uncle Dan's dog) and a wood chuck have a few words with each other. When the playdate was over, the wood chuck returned to his home.


MeMa trying to get some corn on the cob unstuck I think!


Alexis, Robert, Ron and Ian singing happy birthday! Can you believe how OLD he is?


Uncle Dan tries really hard to pull that tooth of Lukas's. They bribed him with all sorts of money and all he wanted was for "Gramma" (the local babysitter) to pull it. We had to visit Gramma when we got home!
