This month Tony is working in the Intensive Care Unit; his time at work is both physically and emotionally draining. To help balance things out we are taking special care to ensure that the time we have as a family is fun and relaxing for everyone!
Mid-day Saturday took us to the river to do a little exploring. Seth LOVES collecting sticks and the ones he didn’t throw into the river he promptly put in the car.
Joseph had fun eating the sticks. Hang around Joseph long enough and you notice that EATING is a theme when it comes to things he likes to do. You would never know by the looks of him though, right?
He’ll be burning calories and shedding the pounds before we know it once he gets steady on his feet and can walk around without us helping him shuffle along.
Our usual weekend quandary of “what to do” was happily put to rest when the Rowley’s suggested we go bowling together Saturday night. The plan was to go to Subway for dinner and then go bowling, but we quickly re-adjusted our plans so we could partake of the “ALL YOU CAN BOWL and ALL YOU CAN EAT PIZZA FOR TWO HOURS” for 15 bucks a person! We were a little worried about how edible the pizza would be, but apparently it was good enough for us to require the waitress to bring out at least 3 rounds of 6 slices. The Rowley’s planned ahead and made sure that they were all wearing pink (yes, Scott too) they were going for the team intimidation factor. Which did prove to be a smart move as they left the victors of the second game with Scott not quite at his personal best but still a solid score of 136.
Seth proved to have advanced bowling skills that required that he get his own lane right next to ours so we wouldn’t get in his way.
That night Seth sported his snazzy new band-aid that covered his fresh scratch and goose-egg that he acquired at our earlier trip to the river! Sorry, no pictures of Jospeh. He just hung out happily eating, pizza crust, after pizza crust, after pizza crust, after pizza crust…
I love my Tony-man! He is so fun to be with. We have been married five fabulous years and I feel like our adventure has just begun! Speaking of adventures…a couple weeks ago we had a chance to get out on a bike ride together without the boys. We rode the Olentangy River trail a little past Antrium Lake and back again. It was a beautiful night and a fun ride. On our turn around Tony had a bee fly in his helmet which sent him into a wild frenzy flinging off his helmet, jumping off his bike, then wildly brushing his hands through his hair to help ease the pain of the sting left by the sneaky bee. Helmet strapped on and ready to re-mount he suddenly lept back in pain grabbing his right calf as he tried to ease the pain of a killer charlie horse. It was quite the sight to behold those two incidents right in a row. Thankfully no one else was around and he eventually got back on his bike and rode on like nothing happened–I however did a get a good little chuckle!
When I was doing some vocal warm ups the other day Seth yells at me, “Mama, mama, that’s too loud! I need my hat to cover my ears.”
Abruptly pulling Seth back up on a the chair so I could put his shoes on before we went to church Seth said, “Mommy, you broke my heart. Pick it [...]
Here’s a note to all our loved ones at this time of year when we remember our Savior’s birth and try especially hard to follow his perfect example. As many of you live far away from our little family, a brief (or not so brief) recap of the major events of the [...]
This red bench was the perfect place to plop down after our little Hocking Hills Santa Claus train ride this past December, 2009. Tony got some fun footage of our family trip on our video camera and is editing it together for our up-and-coming release of “Train Ride, 2009″. Stay tuned for [...]
This is a video of our ward’s pinewood derby. Most of the event is the usual pinewood derby that cub scouts and former cub scouts around the country will remember with fondness–you know, watching your dad make your car, being privileged to add a sticker here and there (if you were lucky) while your dad made [...]
This past Christmas Eve was spent digging in the sand, watching Aunts and Uncles diving in the waves, playing sand volleyball, and soaking up the sun on the beautiful beach of Waimea Bay. [...]
A couple weekends ago we had the chance to join Jeremy and April for an over night stay at a beautiful cabin called Hickory Acre Farms, [...]
