Summer Fun

Summer is not complete without Otter Pops.


Drew channeling his inner superhero.


Dad mucking out the pond. I can't imagine the work he put into that project! The fruits of his labor sure are beautiful though.


The boys had such a great time with Josh (with only 1 brawl). This is on his last day here. They sure were sad to see him go. We miss you Josh!


Dad got the waterfall working again on the pond. Mom took Liv for a dip in the upper pool.

Oh What A Day

Today is a day I'm thankful is over!

This morning Ryan decided it would be funny if he punched my nephew in the face. This resulted in a huge bloody mess and angry parents. Josh was fine thankfully but now I feel completly awful! I was inside and heard him crying...when I come out Ryan tells me not to worry that it's just Strawberries. STRAWBERRIES!! I was fuming!

Thankfully I went to work. Later I'm home chillin on the couch and Drew comes in to tell me his tummy is sick. We sit and chill for a few minutes and I get him a drink of water and lay him down. All of a sudden he is writhing in pain and throws up all over his bed. I pick him up trying to hurry him to the bathroom when he projectiles all over the floor in his room and then in the bathroom. Poor kid. After that he is just fine.

Well the fuss Drew was making of course wakes Ryan up and he gets out of bed and looks at me. He tells me his pants are wet. Crap. Well we were already giving Drew a bath might as well throw Ryan in there as well.

On the bright side Liv slept through it all. Let's just say I'm glad the day is done!

A Poem

Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
-William Shakespeare

Buckle Up

Why do we wear seat belts?

Ryan: So we will be safe.

Drew: So you don't stand up while you drive. Oh and so we don't blow away.
