The Fallis Family

2010-10-31T20:20:00.002-04:00

Matthew got his Bobcat award last week at Cub Scouts, he was so excited!

Happy Halloween!

New Pics of Jack

2010-10-12T19:47:00.002-04:00

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=149279&id=100001261312114&l=fca9ba9218

Sorry no posts for a while, I have been really good about putting things up on facebook. Here are some adorable 6 month pics of Jack!

First Day of School

2010-08-28T21:46:00.002-04:00

We have made it through 2 weeks of school and everyone still seems to be happy. Here are the boys on the first day!

We Love the Lynch's

2010-08-28T21:39:00.002-04:00

Thanks to our personal shoppers Tami and Erin (supported in spirit by Ken and Andrew) we were able to get have really sweet dreams the night before school!

Runaway Baby!

2010-08-13T07:36:00.003-04:00

I put Jack into his playpen so I could unload the dishwasher and when I went back to get him the playpen was empty. I was shocked and a little scared until I realized somehow he had wiggled himself under the padding. I was worried about suffocation and injury but he was happy as a clam. I am pleased to report there were no lasting side effects!

Shedd Aquarium

2010-08-07T09:23:00.004-04:00

Matthew has wanted to visit the Shedd Aquarium since he read a story about Nickle the rescused sea turtle in his Ranger Rick magazine almost 2 years ago (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyYLUwoQTrU).

Cameron got to watch stingrays get fed and I touched a sea star.

They had a great time but I think one of the highlights of the day was riding the train into the city.

Legoland!

2010-08-06T23:31:00.003-04:00

First stop in Chicago - Legoland. The boys loved it from the dorky rides to the 3d movie it was kid heaven. Mike just loved the gift shop and huge lego models.

Walter Day 8

2010-07-30T19:24:00.003-04:00

Walter is growing bigger every day.

He also has some friends the Walt-ettes

My little watermelon!

2010-07-30T19:14:00.005-04:00

For 32 years I have been trying to grow a watermelon... finally it has worked. Keep checking back for updates on Walter the Watermelon.

Walter - day 5

We are also growing sunflowers, cucumber, zucchini, beans and 3 kinds of tomatoes! Thank goodness the pumpkins, lettuce, peppers, blueberries, carrots and asparagus didn't grow, we don't have the room. It's our first garden, it's a hands-on learning experience.

Matthew's New Haircut

2010-07-19T17:47:00.002-04:00

Matthew decided he wanted a mohawk this summer. After mommy vetoed that idea he decided he wanted his head shaved. Mommy said fine after Uncle Chris' wedding. So today he got his first self selected hair cut. He has never had this little hair in his life!

Ode to Uncle Nate

2010-07-17T21:20:00.004-04:00

Cameron: Knock, Knock

Matthew: Who's there?

Cameron: Apple Juice

Matthew: Apple juice who?

Cameron: Apple juice poopie in my butt

(massive laughter from Mike, Matthew and Cameron)

Cameron hopes this will be considered for submission in the Dizasater Book of Poems: The Next Generation

Wedding!

2010-07-17T11:40:00.003-04:00

The new Mr. & Mrs. Kinison!

Happy 100th Birthday BGSU!

2010-06-26T21:30:00.004-04:00

We've spent the weekend celebrating the centennial at BGSU. It has been a lot of fun! On Friday evening we went to the reception at the Alumni Center where we met a lot of people and enjoyed some appetizers and drinks. We were up early on Saturday to participate in the 5K. Mike is really concerned because two of the people who beat us were 70 and 73, but they weren't pushing 3 kids.

Then we renewed our vows at the Falcon Flames ceremony that was followed by a great reception at the president's house. We wrapped things up tonight by attending the birthday bash party. Everyone is tired but happy!

T-ball!

2010-06-18T17:22:00.004-04:00

Matthew is partaking in America's favorite past time this summer and he loves it. He is on the green dragons. If you ever need something funny in your life go to your local park and watch 6-7 year olds try to play baseball - it is hilarious! They can't throw or catch and usually don't know which way to run, if they run at all.

A Month Later...

2010-06-07T21:58:00.001-04:00

Okay, I am terrible at this. Jack is now two months old and cute as can be. He has reflux so he gets fussy but not too bad. Big brothers still adore him. He smiles and laughs all the time!

Jackson is 1 month!

2010-05-09T11:35:00.002-04:00

It is hard to believe Jackson is 1 month old already. We are all adjusting to our new lives. The boys adore him, Matthew loves to read him books and Cameron helps give him baths.

Mike's 33rd Birthday

2010-05-09T11:29:00.001-04:00

It's a little late but here are some pictures from Mike's birthday.

How cute is he???

2010-04-20T11:53:00.001-04:00

Happy Birthday!

2010-04-13T22:47:00.002-04:00

Jackson turned 1 week old today! That means his father and I have survived one whole week. Although some of it doesn't count because we had such great help in the hospital. Speaking of which here are some pictures of the day we came home.

First Bath

2010-04-11T11:38:00.004-04:00

Mike always does the first bath at the hospital and Jack's was no exception. We were getting him ready for his hospital pictures and he had to look good!

Yellow Baby!

2010-04-08T09:02:00.003-04:00

Jackson had some problems with a high bili level and spent 24 hours on a UV light. As of this morning his levels are down and he is doing great!

Welcome Jackson Thomas!

2010-04-06T16:06:00.004-04:00

Our new little man arrived right on time this morning. Jackson Thomas Fallis was born at 8:27 he is 20 inches long and a whopping 9.2 lbs. Everyone is doing really well.

Easter Bunny Breakfast

2010-04-04T09:50:00.005-04:00

Yesterday we went to a local farm for breakfast with the Easter Bunny and other farm fun. The boys liked their cold microwaved pancakes (Mike and I not so much) and loved the farm. Cameron spent most of the time gagging and saying it was yucky but he did like feeding the animals and the barrel ride. We took a hayride to hunt for Easter Eggs, tried a straw maze and Matthew rode a pony. It was a great family day before the new addition!

Matthew & His Bike

2010-04-04T09:03:00.003-04:00

Matthew has decided he is ready to take his training wheels off. It has been interesting to say the least. We are staying close to grass right now to break the falls.

Brother's Transformers Party

2010-03-20T09:55:00.002-04:00

The boys family party was a lot of fun. They were very excited about their new beds, mattresses and sheets from the grandparents. We ate giant pizza and had transformers cupcakes. Once again we were so lucky to be surrounded by so many family and friends!

Matthew's 6th Birthday

2010-03-20T09:48:00.002-04:00

Matthew tooks cupcakes to his kindergarten class, had cake and got a pirate ship at home and went bowling with his friends to celebrate turning 6. He has been a busy and happy boy!

Name the baby!

2010-03-09T17:50:00.002-05:00

If you haven't had a chance stop by my dad's survey to cast your vote for the baby's name...

Cameron's Birthday

2010-03-05T18:37:00.002-05:00

Cam's birthday was over a week ago, sorry it has taken so long to get pictures up. I will put up Matthew's birthday and the joint brother party later this weekend.

This is Cam's famous "yes!" when he loves something!

An example of how real men eat cake!

New Pictures

2010-03-05T18:31:00.004-05:00

We had pictures taken for the boy's birthdays, they are pretty cute if I say so myself!

A quick shot of the ever-growing belly - just over a month to go!

The Olympics Inspire Us!

2010-02-22T19:25:00.003-05:00

Shortly after watching skiing Cameron decided to begin preparing for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. He is using top of the line equiptment; Luvs diapers for skis, a plastic construction hat, two pointers for poles and plastic goggles. He is currently looking for a sponser to purchase a uniform or else he will have to ski naked and that won't be good for his scores.

Why Mike is Crazy!

2010-02-09T17:30:00.003-05:00

A few weekends ago I met my friend Amber for a day of girl time. While I was gone Mike took the boys to Chuck-e-cheese. The boys had a great time, they haven't stopped talking about going back since then, Mike on the other hand may never be the same!

Congrats Jeff and Bre!

2010-02-09T17:25:00.004-05:00

This is a little belated but heartfelt nonetheless, Jeff and Bre got engaged before Christmas. We couldn't be happier about adding her to the family. We wish nothing but the best to them both. The most important event of July 2011 - their wedding - we can't wait!

Too sick to post

2010-01-25T18:30:00.002-05:00

Sorry there haven't been any posts lately, we have been sick. Mike has mono, all four of us had the stomach flu, I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and tired. It is a miracle if the laundry gets done (currently it is not) and there is food on the table (Cameron ate a bread stick and 2 biscuits for dinner last night). We will keep you updated on our ongoing struggle! love you all...

Imagination Station

2009-12-31T17:26:00.002-05:00

I took the boys to Imagination Station, a science museum, over the break. Everyone had a great time playing!

Cameron climbing the bridge while Matthew puts out a fire

Cam loved his dippin dots and Matthew got caught in a tornedo!

Just a few more...

2009-12-29T15:55:00.002-05:00

A few more adorable pictures from Christmas!

Merry Christmas

2009-12-29T15:36:00.002-05:00

Once again we were lucky to spend the holidays with our wonderful families. It was nice to see everyone and equally nice to get back home!

Ho, Ho, Ho

2009-12-17T18:17:00.002-05:00

Merry Christmas!

The Circus

2009-12-05T11:56:00.003-05:00

Mike and I took Matthew to the circus a few weeks ago. We had a great time, Matthew's favorites were the elephants and the clowns. If you have never seen a big circus you have to go!

It's a...

2009-11-18T21:57:00.002-05:00

BOY! Big surprise, the Fallis family will welcome another boy to the house April 7th!

Trick or Treat

2009-11-04T19:04:00.003-05:00

Happy Halloween from our resident bat and pirate! Hope you got lots of candy.

Picking a pumpkin

2009-11-04T18:34:00.002-05:00

Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch!

Why we haven't posted...

2009-10-03T09:12:00.001-04:00

Sorry there hasn't been a post in a while but we have been busy...
We are pregnant! The 3 Fallis baby will arrive sometime in early April.
Pictures of all the kids soon.

Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

2009-08-30T20:44:00.002-04:00

At the recommendation of a colleague we took the kids to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo the weekend before school for a little family time. It was great! There were rides, a seal show and the boys got to feed a giraffe. It was nice to spend a little quality time together, at least until Mike's car broke down in the Friendly's parking lot and it took almost 3 hours to get back on the road. Oh well, it was still a great day.

A Fair to Remember

2009-08-30T20:12:00.003-04:00

This year's fair was extra special because Matthew entered some art and cooking projects for the first time. We had a lot of fun doing them, especially since Matthew came up with the ideas and did everything with a little supervision. From painting with food coloring gel on his marshmallow snakes to pounding dozens of nails into his rain stick. We didn't want to be stage parents! We were shocked when we got to the fair to realize that he ended up with 2 blue ribbons, a second place and a third place! We did the usual fair things, rode rides, ate cotton candy and saw the animals but this made it even more special.

Kindergarten!!!

2009-08-21T15:00:00.003-04:00

Here is Matthew outside his new classroom!

More first day of Kindergarten later!

Hooray!!!

2009-08-07T18:20:00.002-04:00

My brother proposed to the most wonderful girl in the world last night... and she said YES!!! Congrats to Chris and Amanda, we could not be happier to officially add her to the family.

Family Vacation, Pt. 2

2009-08-04T09:37:00.004-04:00

Our vacation wasn't all caves, we also went to the beach, visited the Corvette Museum, spent time in Bowling Green, KY, checked out a train museum and saw Abraham Lincoln's birthplace! It was a busy few days and we were all tired when we left but it was a lot of fun!

Family Vacation, Pt. 1

2009-08-04T09:22:00.003-04:00

We went to Mammoth Cave National Park on vacation this summer. The caves were amazing, Mike and I spent over 8 hours on cave tours exploring places called Fat Man's Misery and the Mammoth Dome and even eating in the underground cafe in the Snowball Room. If you have never seen it - go!

Our Fort

2009-08-03T13:34:00.001-04:00

We decided to move the furniture today and build a fort!

Fallis Family Rock Band

2009-08-03T13:26:00.002-04:00

Mike brought the boys guitars back from his trip to Nashville. I don't know what possessed him to make this purchase, the boys love them, mommy isn't so sure!

Our 1st Emergency Room Visit

2009-06-28T21:02:00.004-04:00

This is what happens when you get pissed at your little brother...

Matthew didn't want to watch Monsters, Inc again so he climbed our bookcase to get a different movie and somehow (Mike and I didn't see what happened, we were finishing dinner) fell off and busted open the corner of his eye. Mike took him to the emergency room where they glued his cut shut with "special doctor glue" and he got popsicles and lots of stickers. He is okay now and very greatful he didn't have to get shots.

Magic Treehouse & The Art Museum

2009-06-27T19:03:00.004-04:00

Matthew has become obsessed with the Magic Treehouse book series by Mary Pope Osborne this summer, after reading one of the titles Mummies in the Morning we took a trip to the art museum to learn more about mummies and Egypt. We had a great time learning and then playing in the children's center. Some of the biggest hits were antiques such as the typewriter and the Polaroid camera!

mmmmmmm.... Swensons...

2009-06-21T19:24:00.002-04:00

need we say more?

Becky's Birthday!

2009-06-21T19:05:00.003-04:00

We celebrated a very special birthday with Mike's mom last weekend. It was made even more special because Kate, Jeff and his girlfriend Bre were able to be in town for the event. We had dinner on the Nautica Queen, everyone had a great time!

Legos!

2009-06-21T18:53:00.002-04:00

The Lego legacy continues. Mike and I grew up loving legos, Mike was the bigger nerd than I was - but that is another story for another time, and Matthew has discovered and fallen in love with legos as well. We spend a lot of quiet time in the afternoon and before bedtime building amazing creations such as houses, cows, motorcycles, airplanes and trains.

Last Day of School

2009-06-10T14:53:00.004-04:00

The boys celebrated their last day of school on Friday. For Matthew it was the final day of Preschool, in the fall he will start Kindergarten at Mommy's school! It is hard to believe that he is that old already. For Cameron it meant saying good-bye to Miss Shelia again. Lucky for us it isn't good-bye to Discovery Kingdom, we will be back in the fall. Matthew will attend their half-day Kindergarten program and Cam will continue to spend time with his friends in day care. We are so lucky to have found a group of people that love and care for our children so much!

Queen of Mulch

2009-06-10T14:03:00.004-04:00

I was tired of looking at our sad little flower bed and waiting for "someone" to come and mulch them so I took matters into my own hands. I called the local nursery, ordered a dump truck full of mulch and did it all myself (honestly I did, Mike only helped with three wheelbarrows worth). I also moved and replanted 3 Hostas, bought 3 weired berried/flowered plants and got those planted and then got 3 new roses and planted those. It was a good first day out of school!

Kind Kid's Book Club

2009-06-05T22:27:00.002-04:00

Matthew joined the "Kind Kids Book Club" this winter. It was a program offered through the local humane society that gave children a list of books that had kind messages about animals and based on the number they read (or had read to them) they got prizes. Matthew and I read 20 so he was invited to take a tour of the humane society, got a puzzle and a stuffed animal. He wasn't sure about the place but he loved the bunny room!

Cam's New Bed!

2009-06-05T22:11:00.003-04:00

Thanks to Mom-mom (with moving support by Poppy and Grammy Moving Co.) Cameron got a new bed last weekend. That's right, our baby is out of his crib and into a "big boy bed" of sorts. This isn't just any bed, it is a toddler-size fire truck complete with lights. We were very worried that he wouldn't stay in it but he doesn't seem to realize that he can climb out of it. In the morning he just lays in it and yells for one of us. It has been interesting to say the least!

Happy Anniversary!

2009-05-28T21:58:00.002-04:00

Mike and I celebrated our 7th anniversary last weekend by painting the boys rooms. It doesn't sound romantic but we had a good time. We did enjoy an amazing dinner at the Melting Pot (thanks for the recommendation Jeff)! Mike surprised me with the beautiful flowers.

Relay for Life

2009-05-20T20:29:00.003-04:00

On Friday the boys and I went to Relay for Life as a part of the Conneaut Cats team. This year not only was I a member of our school's team, I was the co-captain. The weather was horriable, cold and rainy, but the people were fun, the teams amazing and the individuals inspiring. So once again I ask myself the same question I ask each year, why do I Relay?

for grandpa

for auntie

for Tami

for the hundreds of survivors I watched walk around the track
for hope
for a future

for a cure

so my children never have to walk for me

My husband is not very smart...

2009-05-18T22:59:00.003-04:00

but according to Matthew he is "awesome!" That would be because Mike took Matthew on the roof this weekend, which Matthew proclaimed as "amazing" and "cool." I was just there to take pictures and act as the potential emergency room chauffeur.

Our new camera

2009-05-16T21:19:00.001-04:00

We got a new camera, as soon as I figure out how to hook it up to the computer I will post some new pictures.

For those of you wondering, no I am not an idiot, I am just a tired mom with only 9 more days left to teach this year!!!

Easter

2009-04-20T18:27:00.006-04:00

Eggs, and chocolate and baskets oh my!

Mike's Birthday

2009-04-20T18:04:00.004-04:00

Since I am home with Cameron I thought I would get caught up with my posts. We celebrated Mike's birthday twice, once at my parent's before Easter and then again on the actual day. He was suprised at the first party with a Wii, which made Easter weekend a lot of fun, everyone played.

Then the boys and I took him to Henry Ford for his birthday on Saturday. We rode a train, looked at lots of cars and even saw a 3-D IMAX movie. It was a great day!

It is a good thing Mike is cute because he sure is spoiled!

Cameron's Surgery

2009-04-20T14:32:00.003-04:00

Cameron had his surgery today, tubes in his ears, adenoids out and sinuses irrigated. He did great and is at home resting now. Check out the great teal socks to keep his hospital id badge on his foot beacuse he had already ripped it off his hand!

Play-doh

2009-04-08T21:18:00.003-04:00

Hanging out on Sunday, playing with Play-doh

Author Day

2009-04-08T21:08:00.004-04:00

For the third year in a row we went to BGSU's Literacy in the Park event where they bring in a children's author and have lots of activities that go along with reading. We always have a good time and it is a free event and nothing is more fun than that! Matthew and Cameron loved the puppets and the crafts - Mike loved the hot dogs!

Judge Fallis

2009-03-22T16:29:00.004-04:00

I waited to post these pictures until after Judge Fallis had attended Judge School, it seems more official now!

Bowling Party!

2009-03-03T21:28:00.003-05:00

Matthew had his first "friend" party at a local bowling alley last weekend. He invited 3 girls and 2 boys for a game of bowling, pizza and cake. Mike gave bowling lessons and I dried tears, it was an interesting experience but all the kids seemed to have fun.

Volcano Brother's Luau

2009-03-03T21:16:00.003-05:00

We all survived the Volcano Brother's Luau this weekend. The boys donned their hawaiian shirts and we spent some quality time with family and friends. It was overwhelming and fun and exhausing and very worthwhile! Thanks to everyone who came or sent happy thoughts, we love you all!

Goofball Cameron

2009-03-03T21:03:00.002-05:00

Happy Meals make me happy!

I Am Octimus Prime

2009-02-25T21:04:00.003-05:00

Matthew is obsessed with Octimus Prime (yah, I know his real name is Optimus Prime but Matthew insists it is Octimus). Our good friends Paul and Eli were kind enough to let us borrow this great Transformers toy that brought a lot of fun to our house!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

2009-02-23T21:13:00.007-05:00

Happy Birthday to Cameron! I can't believe that two years has gone by so fast. You are your own person with out a doubt - intense, rough-and-tumble, all boy and independent to a fault. I have never met anyone who enjoyed snacks so much! I feel so lucky to have been given you as a part of my life. I hope this year brings lots of new words, we know it is going to bring your first surgery (ear tubes), and successful speech sessions so we can know what is going on in the busy head of yours. I love you baby boy!

Matthew said it was a good day to have a cup of coffee and he must have been right. Matthew got his brother the coffee pot as a gift!

Birthday Pictures

2009-02-08T19:12:00.003-05:00

We took the boys to get birthday pictures today. For your viewing pleasure here are some of the images that didn't make it...

Swimming Lessons

2009-01-28T10:14:00.003-05:00

Our daycare/preschool offers swimming lessons which Matthew has taken several times already. I never thought Cameron was ready but now that he is almost two and has a mild fear of water I figured it was time. Yesterday he had his first swimming lesson and he did great! He was scared at first but he quickly relaxed and was blowing bubbles and splashing with his classmates. Matthew does great in the pool and wanted everyone to know that he can hold his breath longer than anyone else in his class.

Our "special" son

2009-01-28T10:11:00.002-05:00

Is is a cause for concern that our son takes his clothes off almost every night so he can sleep like this????

Snow Day

2009-01-10T16:26:00.002-05:00

The snow slowed down a bit this morning so Mike and the boys could go out and play. It was Cameron's first time playing in the snow! I'm not sure what he thought about it. After pulling the sleds around outside Mike and Matthew ventured out to the sledding hill for a while and Cameron stayed home and cried because he was too little to go.

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T16:37:00.003-05:00

Merry Christmas!

2009-01-01T16:29:00.005-05:00

We had a wonderful, although hectic, holiday. After eight days of traveling to Akron to see Mike's family and then to Euclid to see mine we were ready to be home again. Thank you to everyone for the thoughtful gifts and wonderful time spent together (the best gift of all). Matthew got 7 webkinz (almost the 20 he wanted) and Cameron got lots of trucks and cars!Unfortunately Matthew got the worst parting gift - pneumonia for the second time this year as well as sinus infection. He will be seeing a pediatric pulmonary specialist in Feb. for all his "issues." Oh well, things could definitely be worse! Hope your holidays were just as wonderful.

Discovery Kingdom Holiday Party

2009-01-01T16:26:00.002-05:00

The boy's school had a wondeful holiday party where both boys refused to sit on Santa's lap (Matthew wrote him a letter instead). While enjoying dinner Cameron discovered the wonders of chocolate covered strawberries!

Story Time with Santa

2009-01-01T16:14:00.003-05:00

On the Saturday before Christmas Matthew, Cameron and I went to the library for story time with Santa. We listened to the librarian read two stories and then right in the middle of Santa Claus is Coming to Town Santa came jingling in! He read Twas the Night Before Christmas and when he asked who wanted to sit on his lap Matthew was the first one in line (much to my surprise since Matthew had refused to go near Santa at his school's holiday party the week before). After the stories every child received a Christmas book and a bag filled with fun treats to promote literacy - it was my kind of event! Cameron wasn't sure what to make of the whole thing, but he was fairly content to sit on my lap and watch what was going on.

Happy Halloween

Mike brought it to my attention that I never posted pictures of the boys from Halloween, so here they are...

Thanksgiving

2008-12-10T20:03:00.004-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving! We made stuffing, sang a song, and saw a parade but mostly we thought of how thankful we are for all of you.

Oh, Breathing Machine

2008-12-03T21:43:00.001-05:00

"Oh, breathing machine, I hate you" were the words of my 4 year old today as he sat to do yet another treatment. We are now using an inhaled steroid as well as the Albuterol, the steroid requires that he wear goggles or sunglasses to keep the steam out of his eyes. The picture is worth a thousand words...

The Most Beautiful Christmas Tree Ever!

2008-12-03T21:33:00.001-05:00

The weekend before Thanksgiving we went to Alexander's Tree Farm for the 10th tree we have gotten there! After much searching Mike found the perfect one. All of the boys worked together to cut it down, this was the first year Cameron was big enough to help and he couldn't wait to get right in there with his big brother. Matthew helped Daddy carry the tree all the way back to the car!According to Matthew we have the most beautiful Christmas tree ever. I think Cameron thinks it is the most beautiful tree of toys he has ever seen. Broken ornament count so far... 2.

Election Night Message

This message has been approved by Matthew's parents!

Joe Biden Comes to BG!

2008-11-02T09:08:00.003-05:00

Mike and I got to go the the Biden rally last night and thanks to a former student (thanks Nick!) who works for the campaign we got to sit in the bleachers behind the next VP and his wife. It was an amazing night topped off by getting to meet him and shake his hand. We were on the news and had a ton of fun. Special thanks to Mom and Dad for watching the boys!
Here is a link to the video we are in, look right behind Joe to the left and you will see us!

Kalahari

2008-10-31T21:32:00.003-04:00

We spent time last weekend at Kalahari with Mike's mom. Everyone had a great time relaxing, plaing in the water and of course eating snacks!

New Hire

2008-09-28T14:51:00.005-04:00

Mike's Lawn and Garden Service would like to welcome their newest employee Cameron. He will be working mainly at grass cutting and picking up apples, next year hopefully he will graduate to brush clean-up as well. I hope you will join us as we congratulate the new member of Mike's team!

The Zoo

2008-09-28T14:46:00.002-04:00

We visited one of our favorite places last weekend, the zoo. Everyone had a great afternoon, Cameron even got his first ever ride on a carousel. It was a nice change to have Mike there to help pull the wagon up and down the hills!

Black Swamp Arts Festival

2008-09-28T14:41:00.002-04:00

Many people visit black swamp to see art, we visit so Matthew can create art. His two favorite things this year were making his own tie dye shirt and his butterfly wings. Cameron didn't make anything but he really liked eating pizza and rocking out to the bluegrass band that was playing while we ate lunch.

Out of the House

2008-09-03T21:07:00.002-04:00

Mike and I got out of the house for the night to attend a very special wedding and we were looking pretty good if I do say so myself!

The Boys Adventure

2008-08-27T23:36:00.002-04:00

While I was getting ready to go back to school Mike and the boys took a trip to Providence Metropark and went for a ride on a canal boat (which Matthew later raced) and visited the village there. Matthew loved Molly and Sally the mules!

Camping

2008-08-27T23:32:00.001-04:00

We had a great weekend camping with the family and everyone's significant others. Mike was just greatful for pie iron night!

Matthew Goes to Time Out!

2008-08-18T20:58:00.003-04:00

Cameron decided that Matthew needed a time out last night, so he gave him one... in the laundry basket!

(See Matthew underneath???)

Back to School!

2008-08-18T20:50:00.003-04:00

The boys went back to school last week, Matthew is in Preschool again and Cameron is in Infant 2 for a month before moving up to the Toddler class. I can't believe a year has gone by so quickly. This time next year Matthew will be off to kindergarten!
After school they got smiley cookies for a special treat!
