I'm Back!

By -
So it's been a crazy couple of weeks, but we're finally starting to get settled back into our home. I haven't even spent an hour on the computer since we've been home. I still haven't downloaded any pictures since we left England, so that will be coming. Please forgive me for my leave of absence. I hope you'll all still consider me a friend. Also, I'm afraid that because of my long break I won't be able to comment on all of the blog posts that I've missed, but I promise to try to read them all in time. It's good to be back!

Hooray, you're back! Did you hear that Jenni had her baby? Boy #3, and he is darling! Anyway, once she's recovered a bit, we'll all have to get together. (and maybe after you've had some time to recover, too . . .)

Welcome back! I'm sure you're glad to be back home in the states and able to see your family again. You'll have to give nick or I a buzz and we'll play catch-up. :)

Congrats on coming back. My parents said the blessing was very sweet and that it was great seeing you. You have such a cute little family. I can't believe you are on baby number 3. That is so great. She is adorable, and I love her name. Oh I remember the dating days of Clark and Amanda. How cool to see what came of that. Hope you are doing well back in the state.

Take care,

Bri

Chuck E. Cheese & Hannah's Arm

First, my apologies for the not so great pictures at Chuck E. Cheese.  I'm still trying to figure out photography indoors without a great flash. Man, Chuck E. Cheese has been around forever.  I remember going there when I was a kid.  In fact, I just remembered that I have a picture of my sister's birthday party from there.  I think I was 10 or so at the time.  (I'm on the right, my friend Katie on the left.) I'm pretty sure that is the very same Chuck E. Cheese that my kids just went to last week.  How scary is that? Anyway, Clark's brother had a deal for food and what seemed like a million tokens at Chuck E. Cheese, so he wanted to take my kids.  Our nephew was in town as well, so it was a good time for my kids to spend time with him. Here are a few pics from that night: Sammy at the wheel.  My kiddos with Uncle Andy and cousin Zander.  Zander, Kimball, and Sammy  Addi Joy  Kimball's really into basketball lately.  He...

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

The Best Train Track Ever

By -

Kimball was off playing with cousins today. So, while Addi took her nap, Sammy and I bonded creating the greatest train track we've ever built. It took quite a bit of time and a lot of patience on Sammy's part (which he had a lot of), but we conquered. Here is our masterpiece: We love these Fisher Price trains. We have four that use remotes (as you can see in the close-up of Sammy), and Sammy got the plane this year for Christmas. I'll tell you, I have as much fun if not more than the boys when playing with these trains. They have been worth every penny we've spent on them. I love this picture of Sammy. It shows his mild case of OCD. He has to have all the train remotes nicely lined up for easy access. So cute. By the time we finished creating the track, we didn't have much time left for playing. We had only enough time to learn that we need five people manning the trains and plane in order to keep them from crashing. Oh, but it sure was fun.
