Odds and Ends

Tyler turned 10!

We fed Lydia to the shark.

Tyler is quite the dare devil.


Our little family at Thanksgiving Point.


Casey and those glasses!


Lydia turned 2 on may 31! No more baby!


At Karate I had a board drop on my foot. It wasn't broken thankfully, but bone bruises, really hurt!


This is the look Isis gives me when she wants me to stop taking pictures of her.

Can't beat cake mix! Lydia helped me make Russ's cake.

This is the cake that Chelsey made for my birthday. It was so cool!

We don't often get rainbows, not to mention a double rainbow! Fun!


Tyler is doing really well in Lacrosse this year!


Ouch!


Well, for Family Night on June 29th , we decided to go play baseball. As Tyler and Aly were walking out to the field, Tyler picks up his ball, throws it up in the air, and swings, hitting Aly who was 2 steps behind him. It all happened so quickly that I couldn't believe my eyes, but the sound it produced made me sick to my stomach. I was behind the kids and I was just so terrified that he had hit her nose or temple. Thankfully he hit her in a pretty sturdy place. but it swelled up to about a half golf ball size.


This is the morning after it happened, June 30th. The swelling on the eyebrow has gone into her eye lid. She was very excited that she could open her eye just a little. Casey reminded her that "at least she still had one good eye." Tyler was just mortified when it happened. He still feels just awful. Aly knew it was an accident and hasn't held it against him. She is very forgiving and when people ask what happened she is very honest but kind about the whole thing.

Quarterly Review,

Lydia is the typical two year old. She repeats everything you say and throws tantrums when she is getting the short end of the stick. Full of energy and addicted to Dora the Explorer!

Aly is my mini me! Here she is clipping things from the sunday newspaper. This activity occupied 1 hour of her time! Wow.

Dalton had a great day at Chuck E Cheese! He hit the bonus of like 200 tickets. He was so excited!


Tylers derby car won first place! He was ecstatic!


Aliens landed. Lydia was the only witness.


Alyson stuck these tweezers in her night light plug pass. She got shocked, but I think because it was thru the night light, a bit of the voltage was diverted away from her. Scary! See the melted tip?


I cut my hair, and it has been great!


Casey has been falling apart, yanked teeth, cavities, broken thumb, split open chin! Lots of doctor bills!
