We had a great weekend at the beach in North Carolina! We missed you guys. It's always a little sad to be left out when the family gets together, but mom's coming on Monday and I'm very excited. And Carl you can thank me later for giving you a week with out her! Just stay out of trouble.

I started my own blog following in Terra's footsteps so take a look at it when you get a chance!

deleeblog.blogspot.com (Creative I know.) Well keep the posts coming!

P.S. Yes Jaxson is wearing a girl shirt underneath his regular shirt I didn't know it would be so chilly and all he had was 5 girl cousins!

Saturday Night Fights

So when Neil got home from his mission, Carl challenged him to a wrestling match. Saturday night Neil got a chance to redeem himself now that he's worked off the mission pounds. Carl was one tough cookie and I don't think Neil will win the next match!

The funniest part was all the sudden they knocked Dad over in his lazy-boy. He just flipped backwards, chair and all! It was hilarious! I wish I had my camera then.

Dean's Graduation

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

We went to Busch Gardens a couple weeks ago and of course Jaxson loved it. His favorite ride was the ladybug ride, but we only got video of that one. He also loved the water spot . (The kid in the back ground is not seriously injured. No children were harmed in the making of this blog.) It's really humid here! There's also some pics of him and his friend Samantha in our backyard pool. We're hoping he likes taller, bossy women so they will get married one day! It's good to here from y'all. (We live in the south now.) Love y'all!

Dean the Green Bean Machine

Congrats, Dean! We love you and are so proud of you! Love, the Gerritsen's

Senior Ball and Senior Boards

Well, well, well I am graduating in approximately 10 days, and to be more exact, in 237 hours. Uh huh uh huh uh huh. It seems to be no coincidence that the most recent situations in my life directly pertain to my graduation. Senior ball was held the last weekend in May and it was quite splendid. For dinner a large group of fellow seniors and I cruised to Seattle to dine at the chic P.F. Changs, a gourmet restaurant specializing in Chinise cuisine. The food there was delectable. After dinner the dance commenced aboard the "Royal Argosy" a gorgeous cruise ship. It was a great experience. Near the end of the dance the DJ made a toast with the Class of 2007 and I must say I experienced such a feeling of joy and happiness that it is difficult to explain. I suppose the best way would be to compare how Harry Potter would feel after snatching a snitch to win for the Gryffyndor Lions in a quidditch match. It was that good. Next event was by far less extravagant, but nonetheless exhilirating. I performed a 12 minute speech to a panel of judges and recieved my ticket to graduation...a certificate saying I have completed my culminating project. This felt most like it would when Harry Potter was about to win the Tri Wizard Tournament...(although my results were far less dramatic). All in all I am on my way to being a learned man with an official high school diploma. I am speechless.

Does Blogging make us Blumberjacks?

Forest Grove, OR (AP) -- In an apparent Epiphany a few weeks back Jeremy Gerritsen, local optometry student, wondered if his recent posting on a family blog made him a blumberjack.
" I just thought it was a harmless posting, I never intended to switch my career on a whim like that" said Jeremy a 29 year old Utah native. "I have always thought I would be in the healthcare profession but I am concerned that my recent blogging activity has sucked me into the blumberjacking world."
Blogging, widely popular among young people today,involves free text writing on a website that allows all visitors to get a glimpse into the life of the author. Mr. Gerritsen's apparent confusion stems from the age old profession of logging. "so the way I see it if a lumber jack works with logs and logging a person that works in blogs or blogging must be a blumberjack. I mean the only difference is the B. log has no B, but blog has one, you can say the same about lumberjack and blumerjack! I am very anxious to get an answer about this."
Dr. K.N. Ownothing a Professor at Dunder-Mifflin Univeristy in Scranton, PA says "There's [sic]some things for Mr. Jarvison [sic]to worry about. Far as I can reckon [sic] Iran is a country in the middle of the East [sic], An iron is some tool the wife uses to do the warsh [sic], that's a big difference, just one letter but big. Mr. Harrison [sic] could be in trouble!"
Others familiar with the situation feel Mr. Gerritsen is making too much of the situation. "Daddy my wanna go outside...No, no do that on the 'puter" says Paul, the 2 year old son of Jeremy and Terra. Their 3 month old son lamented the situation "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" While little has changed around the household since infamous posting of May 2007, everyone involved hopes the situation can find some resolution soon.
