Drive In

Maddox hosts a drive in movie for his trains and Transfomer.

DVD Burn

Maddox gives DVD  burning a whole new meaning.  I had assumed the 2 scratches on Madd's nose were battle wounds from a fight with Griffy.  I did think it was strange that they were perfectly straight.  I thought I'd ask Madd what happened: he thought it was really cool to lift the lid on the portable player and watch the DVD spin.  Next he wondered what it would feel like.  So, he put his nose up to the spinning DVD, but of course once was not enough.  Sorry I asked! 

Mission Accomplished

So, the mission was accomplished a few weeks ago - I'm still catching up!  We love having a diaper free house!!!

Jump On It

The title says it all!  We took the kids to a room filled with trampolines and cut them loose! Yes, I'm still catching up from Utah, even though I've been back for a month.

The adults did a little jumping too.  Although, after this Mike needed  a little Advil, because he kinked his neck.  I guess we have been out of high school for over 15 years!

Old School Fun

While were in Utah this summer, I took the boys to a couple of the places I loved growing up.  First we hit Classic Roller Rink, now known as the Classic Family Fun Center (it's changed a bit - for the better - since I was a kid).  My most vivid memory of Classic Roller Rink was holding hands with some random boy during the couples skate, my mom walked in to pick me up and I was mortified!  

Next, we hit Lagoon.  I can still remember the day when I threw up all over my shoes after riding the roller coaster.  Those middle school years were rough!  Luckily, everyone was able to keep their lunch down on this day!

Happy Fourth

of July!  So, I'm a little late... I guess some things never change!

Maddox shares my fear of sparklers.  Why does no one else think it hurts when the sparks hit your skin?

Don't let it get you!

Xav & I also lit some awe inspiring fireworks in the street.  Evidently, no one thought they were cool enough to take pictures.  I guess we'll have to try some illegal ones next year... maybe that will impress our audience!

Thank Goodness For...

Long time friends!  We have all been friends since high school, some of us even longer than that.  I'm always guaranteed a great time when I hang out with these guys!  We spent the night at TGI Fridays, if you haven't tried their fried green beans, you're missing out!   Love you guys!
