Hi, this is T.J. This is a picture of me. I called it "War Soldier" because I like the name, and that actually is a war coat I am wearing. It was for my History Project. I really liked the project. It was fun doing it. We did a guessing game about my Grandmother, there was a picture on the right side of her and Grandpa. She was at the History Fair people had to guess her name. My project was on World War II, and how my Great Grandfathers Fought in it. If you have questions you can ask me.

A Different School a Different Teacher

While in California last month, the boys got the chance to visit their Aunt Kayce, and see her classroom. At first they were a little shy walking in to a room filled with kids, but it didn't take them long to enjoy being the focus of attention. They got to "interview" and be "interviewed" by her students. It was fun to compare the classroom environment to our experiences at home.

The Count Down has begun!

Cold weather or not, we are counting down 'til summer break! I don't know who wants it more Mom or the kids. We are getting down to the nitty gritty - most of our fun activities have come to an end. No more bowling, no more field trips, only one more roller skating, so now it's just books - we are anxious to get through them and get outside! Our goal is Memorial Day (Dad's birthday).

Ahhh Spring! The birds are chirping, the air is brisk, the tress are budding and the snow is falling! There wasn't much color to our spring day yesterday. We woke up to several inches of snow, and it didn't stop coming down until evening. Snow plows have all been converted to lawn mowers, so there was plenty of hand shoveling of the church parking lot. Guess we have a few more weeks before we can put away those winter coats!

A father can dream about the day when his boys can carry him up to the top of one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. Ok, maybe not carry him up, but they'll definitely have to carry up all the stuff.

Big Mak-Attack sighted in Yosemite

Giant child collects adults for show and tell. Watch out for this hyper-active kid. Do not feed him. This only encourages his volatile behavior.

Go climb a rock! A little boy's favorite dream.
The bottom of Yosemite Falls. They totally redid the walk up to the falls in the past year. Much cooler and a lot less damage done to everything.

Getting every last ounce of use from those boy's wedding suits.

First Official Family Blog

Coherency is not always a given in our house. 4 children and rest do not go hand in hand.
But, we have fun, we fight, we eat a bunch, we talk, we play games, we learn, we grow, well, we manage to keep busy. So we are probably crazy to do this blog.
We have good days and bad days. You'll hear about both from the literate members of the family.
Enough, time to try and post some pictures.
