Fish, Worms, Kites...Boys Boys Boys

What a great weekend. I have to admit, boys are pretty fun. Good thing, as I will be outnumbered soon. We spent all of Sunday fishing and playing. We went to 2 different lakes! We played with Daddy's fishing worms, and even caught 2 fish! David stuck his finger right in the mouth of the small mouth bass without hesitation. We flew our kite and ended the day with a few pushes the swing. What a great day! Love them boys!

And...the cat came back, he couldn't stay away!

Our beloved Morris Kitty has been gone most of the winter. At one point, we even posted a "lost cat" notice on the local animal control web page. We even thought that maybe the harsh winter had done the poor kitty in. BUT NO ! We spotted him down the street a few weeks ago. He apparently is mad at us again and has taken up temporarily with new friends. He did grace us with his presence 2 whole days in a row . So we grabbed the camera to record this most historic event! Unfortunately, we only got a couple of shots as Morris darted out the door, back to see his kitty buddies down the street.

The Sun! The Sun ! YIPEEE!

It only lasted for 2 days, but we were happy! The warm sun came out and we had near 80 degree weather! We even considered putting on sunscreen! David grabbed an orange popcicle, some yogurt, juice and other various snacks, along with his chair and teddy. We headed out at 10:00 in the morning for some "sunning" on the front porch. He proclaimed that he needed his "shades", hence the cool dude look. COME BACK WARM SUNSHINE !!

What's Up With the Weather !!!

Ok, so 2 weeks ago, we had a minimum of 5 inches of snow. Cold, blowing, deep snow. David and our neighbors, Zhara and Imani, built an 80's retro pink haired, punk type snowman, went sledding on the hill, and did a little work with the daddys and a shovel. Best part of the day was coming inside and sharing hot chocolate and girl scout cookies! We want warmer weather please!

Luray Caverns, A Bag of Rocks and a SNAKE !

We had a fun 4 day weekend over Presidents Day. We decided to venture to Luray, VA, about an hour or so away. There is a natural caverns there, similar to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. We took an hour long guided tour down in to the "cave" , as David called it. David's favorite part was getting to buy a bag of different colored polished rocks, and then a "pretend" rattlesnake. Upon leaving the "cave", we went outside to discover SNOW ! What a fun day we had!

David loves to play in the snow, no matter how cold it is. He also likes to make snow angels, as seen in the second picture. Unfortunately, he likes to lay on his tummy to make them vs. his back. Makes for a cold nose on the angel when all is said and done. Notice that he again was very fashionable by wearing his helmet on one of his outdoor adventures.

David recently has grown quite fond of wearing his bicycle helmet. He felt very "fashionable" this day with his helmet on, a bright gold shirt, thermal pj bottoms and one sock. Maybe he's on to something here..........We think he looks awesome!

Horseback Riding with Margie

Margie is a WONDERFUL horse rider! Her regular horse, Dancer, was very tired this day, so she rode Bell instead. David got to ride Bell and fed her some carrots and apples. Margie and David then went and gave Dancer a few treats too. Thank you Margie for a fun time riding horses!

Fall Fun

Leaves leaves everywhere! One of the "perks" of living in northern Virginia. A FOUR HOUR adventure. Matt blew the leaves into a pile that was near chest high. And note that this was not the first time the leaves had been cleaned up! David saw quite the opportunity when that big pile of leaves "appeared" in his yard. Unfortunately, when we tossed David on top of the pile, he SANK TO THE BOTTOM! Scared us all for a second, but he quickly recovered and stuck to riding on the smaller pile in the wheelbarrow! Fun times in the fall at our house!

Lions and Trains and Rock Stars, OH MY !!

Halloween 2006. David decided to be Thomas the Tank Engine for Halloween. No surprise. But then, he spotted the lion costume. The decision was a tough one, but Thomas won out. We had so much fun going trick or treating with our neighbors, Zahara and Imani, the rock stars. And Grammie was a champ. She stayed at our house and gave out candy to all the goblins that came by. Next time you call us, ask David to give you his best , "TRICK OR TREAT" !!!!! Sometimes, he'll even be a toot and say, "smell my feet, P.U." Happy 2006 Halloween!

Albuquerque Balloon Fest with the Guldes!!!

We spent a wonderful morning in Albuquerque with the Guldes (Jennie's Fam.) at the annual balloon fest. It is the largest international ballon fest in the nation! INCREDIBLE. We drove from Santa Fe to Albuquerque on Friday night, did a little swimming with
"O Jeff" and Jacki. David calls "Uncle Jeff, O Jeff". FUN FUN! Then we got up at 4:30 in the morning to head out to see the balloons. Rain caused a delay, but up up up went most of the balloons!! What a great time! Thanks, Guldes, for sharing this SUPER COOL day with us!!!! We had a BLAST !!!
