Up late

 

The other night Joey decided he wasn’t sleepy.  So, he got up and was helping daddy work.

 

 Apparently, daddy looked like he was really working hard.  So Joey thought maybe a few dinosaurs would make the job easier.   Oh yea, and a bulldozer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On another note, I love listening to what is going through Peter’s mind.  On the way home from the store today, Peter asked, “ Mommy, is 30 in the middle?”

I replied, “In the middle of what?”

“In the middle of all the numbers.”

My response, “Well, I guess it’s in the middle of 20 and 40.”

(small bit of silence)

Peter, “I think it’s just in the middle of all the numbers.”

“ok.”

 

(I’m learning sometimes it’s easier just to agree than try to explain.)

 

What’s new with you?

Summer is in full swing around here









Little boys in wagons

Our last T-Ball game

Joey figures out that if you wake up early enough you can steal daddy’s breakfast – egg sandwich anyone?

Oh yea – one more thing.  The boys are very excited to be big brothers on (or slightly before) January 14th!

Bunk Beds

We brought back Jenna’s brothers old bunk beds from PA for the boys.  They LOVE them.  One Thomas bed and one Lightening McQueen bed.

PA – Part 2

 

Swimming in the pool – the first day was a bit chilly.  Peter was all ready but never got in :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We celebrated birthdays for Harrison and Caroline.

 

Our camping trip was moved inside because it was raining.

 

Ruru and Pop Pop have 8 grandkids (and one in the oven)

 

 

  Ashley is the oldest and Everett is the youngest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Boys – Joey, Adam, Everett, Harrison and Peter

 

The girls – Meri, Ashley and Caroline

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whole gang

 

By the last days, the pool had warmed up so Joey could go ‘wimmin’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One more birthday!  Hope it was a good one aunt Kimmer!

We enjoyed a day at the Detroit Zoo with friends last month.

And what’s a zoo without a ride on Nemo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A great day with a great group of friends.

 

 

No Excuse

 

It’s been forever and I have no excuse!  So much has happened and I was lazy with carting around the good camera so most of these came from the phone.

 

Peter’s class went on a field trip (across the street) to the fire dept.  (Joey tagged along) Parker’s dad (Peter’s class mate) is the fire chief, so they got to do cool stuff like spray the hose. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Joey was a little concerned when touring the ambulance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And T-ball started!  Peter is number 6.

 

 

Go Peter!

 

           Waiting patiently for his turn to get the ball   (and holding in the pee)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When do I get to play?

We’re going to the Detroit Zoo tomorrow so hopefully I’m not so lazy early next week :)
