Mitchell's Birthday!

Not only was it Memorial Day, but it was Mitchell's Birthday party also! This was a busy day. well, let's see what he got.

We started out ,as my wife put it, boring. We got him a shirt...

A yo-yo.....
Lego's...

and more Lego's. If you guessed that this was a Lego birthday, you guessed right. Mitchell loves to build stuff and he's good at it too! There were other presents also, but we couldn't get pictures of everything could we.

Memorial Day Parade

Horray! It's the Memorial Day Parade! Lexy had a great time watching her brothers in the parade. Take a guess who else had to march in the parade.

You guessed it....me. Mitchells coach was out of town and he asked parents to walk with the kids. I was the only parent who was willing to do it. (I'm the guy in the background win the brown shirt.) Kinda brought back memories of when I used to march with baseball and cub scouts.

Lori was able to catch Carter marching, but he wouldn't look at her!

When all was said and done, we found out that Lexy is a tree hugger! Who'd of thunk?

Well, at least she gave us a beautiful pose in the end.

You won't believe this!

Do you see what we saw? My father and I went camping together last weekend to reconnect because life gets in the way and we haven't spent much time together lately. So anyway, we got up after the first night and I went to go to the bathroom and as I walked by the end of my Dad's Jeep, a robin flew out from the wheel well and almost scared me into not needing to go to the bathroom. Well, other than being scared, I didn't think much of it then. But as I was walking up the road from the bathroom, I noticed something on the tire. When I looked closer, I saw this...

This picture is of the nest after we took it out. I just could not believe it! These birds build a home fast. Either that of they know a good contractor! Either way, they built it between 6 PM the night before, and 7 AM the next morning. That's fast!

Well I'm not feeling good today so I gotta go. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight!

Playin' around!

Those of you that know me know that I have an outdated computer, hey we all do after a week of owning one. But recently I purchased a brand new laptop with Windows Vista on it. So, it has taken me a while to learn the operating system but in the process, I found the built in web cam and did some playing around with it. The following pictures are of said playing around.

Every Father Loves to have his kids near him. Weather in spirit or body.

I've heard of having a split personality but this is crazy! Oh come on, we all have conversations with ourselves.
I wish I had a brain big enough to need a head like these two pic's, but the truth is that if our head grew to the size we needed to hold our brains, my head would look more like...


This!

At church I work under an awesome Pastoral team who also happens to be my friends :) Hi Seth and Tarah! I need 2 heads to keep up with Seth. Hey, everyone knows 2 heads are better than one. Anyway, now because of technology, I finally have 2 heads to work with!

Seriously though...

I 'm just a goofball at heart! Well, I gotta go for now. Gotta go to church and put together a ping-pong table for the kidz. Can I just tell you, I joke about what I do at church, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! These kidz are the future missionaries, preachers, children's pastors, youth pastors, presidents, and last but not least, world changers, history makers, children of God!

(Do I get credit for remembering that phrase Seth?)

Mondays!!!

Mondays are usually a drag for me because I have to do all the work that I think I shouldn't have to do on weekends. (Ha-Ha) Well, this Monday is no different except that Lori and the boys cleaned up Sunday before her parents came for a Mother's Day steak dinner! So, the house is a little cleaner than it usually is. This Monday, is a little better than usual because I got a good nights sleep last night. (I haven't been sleeping well, and I had a full schedule Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so I was tired!) So, I was much more productive than usual. I got all my laundry done and had a load of dishes in the dishwasher by noon! So, I sat down to answer email and stuff when here comes Alexys, who is seemingly confused about the weather. (Who isn't this year!) Anyway, I snapped a picture of her confusion for all to see.

Well, I gotta go for now. Gotta go and make lunch. A stay-at-home-dad's work is never done!

Dress-up Day

Do you ever remember having what mean kids in school called "Dess-up Day?" This usually happened only when a girl had a dress on, someone would lift her dress and say that it was dress-up day. Very ungentlemenly like and mean! However Alexys was doing this to herself but it was a nightgown, and thankfully only the first, sheer part of it, but it was cute the way she smooshed her face in it. Have a look-see at the pic's. (I had a video but it wouldn't play it. Blogger said it was unavailable! Grrrrr!)
