Schools Out!

I can't believe that another school year has past.  Emma graduated from Gateway Preschool and is heading to kindergarten.  Derek is leaving junior high and will be a Richland Bomber next year. Christian will be in 4th grade which is reaching top dog level for elementary school.  Every year we host the annual end of school year party.  This year Christian had a party that included a bouncy house and inflatable water slide, complete with pizza and water balloons.  It's a good time!  Derek also had a party.  His turned into a all day event.  It started with the inflatable water slide.  We quickly found out that they aren't made to withstand 14/15 year old boys.  After the slide popped we resorted to a make shift water slide.  The party continued all day with swimming, board games, Guitar Hero and ended with a cold cereal buffet dinner.  You gotta love it!!   What a great way to kick off summer.

Brett the Clone

 

Brett just got a brand new toy today. He hasn't taken it off. Here's a video of his one of his first "encounters".

Finally....

So....I'm finally getting around to "blogging".  I was resistant to the idea for quite some time, but my kids started to demand to be "blog represented".  So here it goes....  maybe we'll shoot for the stars and I'll do Facebook next....

The Adventures of Spiderman

Brett donned the Spiderman suit for Halloween and hasn't taken it off since...Being that he is child #5 and my standards for suitability  in social situations is pretty low these days...let's just say that he attracts a fair amount of attention as he is perched on the edge of the grocery cart trying to shoot his spidey web at everyone in sight.   Brett also has a knack for putting together some odd clothing choices....Derek decided to chronicle his adventures.
