surprise from Dad

Surprise,I am trying new things,Blogging,paintballing,and free time.I know I don't share my
feelings,and to write them on a site for all to read! Well let's just say this is totally out of the
"box". I had a great time at the cabin. To get a direct hit on neil in the canoe and to hold
my own at the home run durby was exciting with the boys. Jexon was soooo fun to get to
say words and do "woop-e-doos"I'm not sure if he was laughing at me or with me. Paul was
a delight to putter in the garden with,and eat berry's. then we would check for eggs.Sam was
special to hold and I wonder what a wonderful "little person " he will be like.He laughs at me too.To my wonderful Daughters who reminded me of so many fun and special times we had
growing together.You are wonderful Mothers.(hang in there).This year has been so enjoyable
(because last year a worked 18/6 on the kitchen) So my thanks to all. my advise to you is...
Each of us has to accomplish our own life list,mix it with love and family and it becomes your ....

Love Dad

Good Times



Thanks for the GREAT time! What great memories we made! We missed you at the Cabin, Carl. It was great to see you, though. I can't wait until Christmas! I think this picture of Mom explains it all! Go Mom!

Our Family Vacation

Family Fun

We had so much fun on our trip to Washington. Everyone was there, except Steve was missed. Here are a few highlights (and lowlights) from the trip:
1. The forever long train ride and Paul yelling "choo choo" on board. (Cleaning diarrhea in the bathroom on a moving train was also memorable.)
2. Carl "running" off to Wasl an hour early. ;)
3. Delee and I doing our bedtime chat with Mom at Girls Camp. (Throwing up at Girls Camp was not fun, though.)
4. Seeing Hairspray with Aunt Kathy, Mom and Delee.
5. Attempting to shop at the mall alone with 3 little boys--Jaxson runs way fast through clothing racks and he and Paul look great wearing beaded necklaces.
6. Jaxson yelling "doggie" and laughing at Meg.
7. Paul helping Grandpa mow the lawn.
8. Carl's amazing 131 push-ups--more than all the guys combined!
9. The guys playing on the lake and Neil lifting the canoe over his head.
10. The endless competitions, with Neil almost always winning.
11. The ping-pong tournament.
12. Having smore's around the campfire.
Thanks for the great time!

So, I hear Carl beat Dean in a wresting match... Care to elaborate, Carl? Oh, wait you don't blog so I guess I'll get to hear Dean's side of the story!
Miss you guys!

Time for a blog!

Time for a blog...I don't feel like I have too much exciting news lately but alas, a new blog has been long over due. Nowadays my time consists of working for a full day and coming home to eat dinner and then either going to a young single adult activity or chillin with friends for a couple hours, then sleeping and waking up to do it again! It is quite different to have this whole "working experience" this summer. I usually put in over 40 hours a week. I realize I have never had a real job in which i work at the same place for more than a day or two. I must be becoming a man...or just boring i don't know! But the house is coming along great! It will be done in the next two weeks! In other news I recieved my AP scores and I passed all three!!! I was very excited and this great blessing means that I have 20 credits at UW already. So maybe I won't have too many classes with over 100 students! Recently I just saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix and it is a great movie you should all go see it. I wish I was a wizard... So all in all I am thoroughly enjoying my summer although it is different from the kind of summer I am used to!
