Mattress Night

Mattress night!  What better way to start it off than a good fist fight!

Boy's Day

We started out this Boy's day going to Kroger to put Eli's coins into the machine that counts it and magically turns it into cold hard cash.  From there we headed to Toys R Us to pick up Batman for the DS (and try on helmets).


















If that's not enough to make a couple of guys hungry, I don't know what is...so off we go to Red Robin for lunch.

It was so hot today that it was almost unbearable to sit in the car while the AC cranked up.  It was actually kind of hard to breath.  At one point, Eli said, "Daddy, I can't smell."  I love that kid.

Our next stop was Lowes to get a filter for the furnace (and to try out several riding mowers, of course).


























We didn't eat dessert at Red Robin on purpose.  The plan was to grab a couple of hot fudge cakes at Big Boy in Independence, which is what we did next. 

We stopped to wash the car on the way home...of course spraying each other in the process.

Another successful Boy's day in the books!

Shelby's Birthday

Look Mom, No Training Wheels!

No training wheels...no problem!

July 4th - 2011

We had a family get-together at Sharon and Jerry's house for the 4th of July this year.  I was a lot of fun playing cornhole and watching the kids run around squirting each other with water guns.

Eli and Pa

Eli saw Shelby crying tonight.  He asked me why mommy was crying and I told him it was because she was missing Pa.  He immediately started crying and hugging me.  He was upset for quite a while.  We would try a couple of times to move on with our plans (mattress night), but he started to cry each time.  He said he wished he was in heaven so he could see Pa.  I told him that he is waiting for him, and when he first sees Eli he is going to yell, "Spike!!".
