Wrestle time seems to be the favorite time of the day.

My 3 boys. The youngest is 38 weeks today.

Happy 60th Birthday, Mom!

Not my Mom
For my mom's 60th, just the girls spent the weekend at Chef Jim's Carriage House at the beach.

Me, Mom, Trish, Elise, MIA: Kristin.

The boys and the construction project of building a new river.

Nathan loves soccer and has been a Lil' Kicker for the past 8 weeks. He likes to "do big kicks and score it in the goal".


The Indiana State Fair is a highlight for Native Hoosiers, Nathan and Daniel. We only got to attend 3 times, which wasn't quite enough to satisfy our appetites for fun and corn dogs. We also did not get the chance to sample the fried butter and Krispy Kreme hamburger. Maybe next year?

Goodbye

On the brink of becoming a family of 5, we had to exchange this car for a larger vehicle. (I don't want to talk about it.) We owned this car for about 8 years and besides needing duct tape, it ran pretty well.

SLC or Bust. 2005


Everything we had in Salt Lake City for that year was crammed into this car.


More of Daniel's birthday


Very cool. Thanks, Dawson and Jamie!

Nothing better than a birthday dinner of hot dogs.

Daniel loves bugs and requested a green bug cake. We shared this creepy and tasty cake with his friends, Henry and Gerald.

More of the beach

Nathan was so happy to have Gram and Kerrie as playmates for the week we were camping.

Snack time with Aunt Trisha.

Uncle Harvey's corn was so good that we had to set limits on the allowable quantity consumed.


Nathan and Uncle Kurt's silly faces.

A sunset with Gramps.

Blueberry picking



I don't think any of the berries made it into those pails.

My years of experience in blueberry picking made me remember to bring our mini-toilet. This was a "private bush".

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Daniel turned 2 over the weekend and we've been celebrating for about a week now. We started the festivities with some camping.
