Old Faithful

You have to go to the sandsbox blog to see this entry (check out the blogs under our picture).  They are not my words, but Corrie summed up the last 7 years pretty well.  

Thanks Corrie!!

More designs by DJ

DJ has really been wanting to invent something real... he has asked me every day, "when will I invent something?"  So, today was the day to invent something real! All his idea, no help from anyone... it's "the wheel turner 3000" 

Watch for it in stores!

Tradition!!

DJ started 2nd grade on August 18th.  

It has been our tradition to go out to ice cream on the 1st day of school. It's a special treat that I, for one, look forward to every year!  This year we visited the little mexican ice cream store near our house... the boys were in a little bit of heaven. (so was I)

Last days of summer break

All good things must come to an end... this was our last outing of the summer, before DJ started 2nd grade!  What a fun day with friends!

The Train

We took the train to Hanford last month to get the best ice cream in the world! (Superior Dairy) 

The boys all had a really great time it was a first for all of them.  Definitely something that will be repeated! Nick is still talking about "the best ride ever to get ice cream!"

Nick is 3!

Nick turned 3 way back in July... It was a Thomas party... as all good 3 year old boy parties should be!

DJ the contractor...

I built some shelves earlier this summer, and there was some wood left over.  DJ said, "Hey Dad, lets build a bird house!"  So today, we did.  Nick helped a little as well.

Tomorrow, after the glue is finished drying, we'll paint it.  I'm sure that will be even MORE interesting... especially for Dad!
