Breakfast with Santa

Pretty funny how Mr. and Mrs. Clause know the boys by name, it always trips them out. Not sure who we were sitting next too, but that lady was, umm, something else.

Uncle Buck

Took Jordan hunting for the first time. He actually got a to shoot at a buck before I did! He was on a dead run, we both missed. No luck for Grandpa either.

Knoebels was kfun

What can I say, it's always fun. Too bad our camper crapped out, but the tent we got was actually really nice. It was cool hanging out with Derek for the day, I know the boys enjoyed it too. Jesse's favorite ride had to be the Flyers. Jordan was digging the roller coasters, he even went for a night ride on the Twister. I hear Ruthie went on a few rides too! I wish Cesari's was closer, we could eat their pizza everyday. Home now, time to recoup.

Football

Another season begins. Let's rock.

Lucky Number Seven

Happy Birthday, Jordy. We had his party the same day as our July 4th Party. He was amazed how many people showed up for his birthday party, lol. BB's. Tons of bb's. I have a feeling there won't be many cans in the recycling bin any more.

July 4th Party

Moved it to the weekend this year (and from now on). A lot more people were able to make it which was great. Hope everyone had as good of a time as we did. See ya next year!

Welcome to the lake, memories made here

We absolutely love going to the lake. Everything about it is great. The drive is so relaxing, the area is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the time we have is second to none. Jordan tried skiing! Aunt Vicki and Uncle Ray still got it. The rest of us took our turns at tubing, except Jesse, who would rather take a boatnap. I think the boys fished about every waking moment they could when we weren't making them have fun doing something else. This is the only place I've ever seen the boys cry that they didn't want to go. Neither did we, I've never wanted to have a place somewhere as much as I do there. Thanks again for everything.

Rabbits

Got my rabbits, all are purebred New Zealand. They seems right at home.

Ocean City, NJ

Awesome. Took the boys to the beach for the first time, they had a blast. Surf, sun, seashells, sand castles, crabs and swimming. What more do you need? We stayed right on the ocean front not even a hundred feet from the boardwalk, it was great. Next trip to the shore will have to be VA, though. No substitute for the best!

Pond

The pond is done. We can't wait to go swimming and fish and kayak and build a dock. Hurry up and fill already!

Hazel

It's official, we got a puppy. Hazel is an eight week old golden retriever. The boys went bananas. Welcome to the family, Hazy.

Bowling

Met up with the Kaufmann's for dinner and took the kids bowling then to Mickey D's playground for a bit. It was a good time and something we should do more often.

34th Annual Coaches Clinic

Wow. I learned a lot, met some cool people, and learned a lot. Jon and I had a good time too. Lots of ideas, lots of things to do, looking forward to getting next season started!

Treasure Chest

Pipa had a surprise for the boys tonight. He made them toy chests from the cherry tree that fell down across the street. Good work, Pipa.

Only Three...Already

Happy birthday, Jess. Hope you had a good day, we're pretty sure, positive actually, that your favorite gift was the football from your brother. We love you, buddy. - Dad, Mom, Jordan

Camo

We just camo'd the a wall in each of the boys' rooms tonight. Looks pretty badass.

Super Bowl XLVI

G-men! 21 - 17 over the Pats, it was a great game. Madonna at the half was pretty mediocre. Ready for next year!

JoePa

It's the end of an era. One that will never happen again. Thank you for all you did. WE ARE...
