Toy Run

We just finished with soccer and I saw people lined up on the side of the road.  I had totally forgotten it was the Toy Run today and guess who would be riding in it?  Grandpa!  30 minutes of all shapes and sizes of motorcycles = Thousands of bikes for a great cause!

Woah! What a ...FROG!

This big guy came into the garage one night and has been visiting regularly since!  I thought it was the birds eating the dogs leavings, but maybe this guy has?  Tanner was brave enough to touch him, but even he wasn't so sure!

Grandpa and his girl

A Van Milestone

The van has hit 100,000 miles!  We bought the van with less than 300 on it, so you can tell we have been going, going, going with it!

Lunches, Lunches, Lunches!

The kids are participating in a gymnastics camp this week and everyday they are to bring a lunch.  This will be what it is like once Tapanga starts going to school!

A Walk in the Park

It was just Tapanga and I tonight, the boys were away in a boyscout camp out. After going out to dinner with my parents I asked Tapanga if she wanted to go to the greenway where I can walk and she can ride her bike. We had a nice time walking even seeing deer along the way. The deer was so close we could almost reach out and touch it! As we were walking I kept looking for markers that would tell us how far we had gone but I didn't see any. We turned around on the bridge and on the way back Tapangas bike broke! The chain came off. I tried to fix it with no luck. Of course this is when I notice a marker. We had gone over a mile! Which now means... I will be carrying her bike for a mile to get back to the car! All in all it was a beautiful walk with nice weather and scenery!

Muddy boy

We spent the afternoon at Susan's house. The big kids played in the pool which created a small mud pit that baby Jax found!
