Back 2 School

2009-08-23T11:30:00.003-06:00

Is it really coming on fall? Demi started back to school and loves it. Gage isn't too happy about it but he's being a good sport. He likes to take and pick up sis.

Happy 4th Ya'll

The Stadium of Fire was awesome. I was so happy to be able to celebrate the day with my family. Demi grooved to the Jonas Brothers and SheDaisy. The ginormous flag was retired. It was a great day.

Between FB, work, play, email, cellphone... the blog is the last one the list. Summer is here! Yippy. The kids are loving swim lessons. Mountains, camping, Timp Cave- here we come!

waiting for Spring

2009-03-29T13:51:00.003-06:00

We had 1 weekend of nice weather that tricked us into thinking spring had sprung. Matt competed in a disc golf tourney and the kids and I hit 4 different parks. Then the snows came... so we had to keep ourselves entertained. I can't believe how much my kids love target practice.

Happy Holidays

2008-12-20T00:01:00.003-07:00

I can't believe the year is almost over, time flies! Thanksgiving was nice, I had to work that night so we stayed in Utah and deep fried a turkey as well as a traditional baked one. It was so good, I think we're going to deep fry next year.

Demi is very excited for Rudolph to visit, she made him a neat hat. I thought that was very thoughtful. Santa always gets cookies, but who remembers the guys doing the hard work of hauling him around?

Gage has broken 6 ornaments and the little Santa. He rearranges the navity daily. He loves, loves, loves anything chocolate.

We're going to have a white Christmas-- deep pow baby!
Happy Holidays!
Love,
Matthew

Star Wars Halloween

2008-11-02T21:07:00.008-07:00

Demi and dad carved some awesomely scary pumpkins.

Gage, Matt, and I watched Demi's class parade their costumes for school.

Princess Leia and Chewbacca hit the pavement for about an hour on the warmest Halloween we've had in years. One of the houses on Redford Rd had a motion sensor fog machine and it spooked Gage pretty good. A welcome sprinkle of rain started as we finished Osmond Ln and packed the kids up with their spoils.

Oklahoma

2008-10-21T13:50:00.008-06:00

Oklahoma and
Texas were also great. Demi, Grandma, and I worked it out on the Wii-- I have to get me one of those!

Juli prefers disco therapy. And Jon and Suzy introduced me to the disturbing and hilarious world of animated metal.

In Dallas, we got to reunite with tons of relatives. Congrats to Asher and Mindy- they've set a date for the wedding. Canita, J, S, & I had a blast getting lost and found.

Gage and Demi loved splashing in the pool, playing with the cousins,and spending some quality park time with Grandma and Grandpa.

I'm so glad to see everyone doing so well.

Ohio

2008-10-21T13:33:00.005-06:00

We had a great time hanging with the Campbells and the Clines. Matt reconnected with childhood friends.

We toured downtown Steubenville, home of Dean Martin. In fact, Pap pap Bubblegum rivaled him for Grandma Swinger's affections.

He doesn't hold a candle to you, Pap.

The Wedding

2008-10-21T13:18:00.004-06:00

Despite the power outages from hurricane Ivan, the wedding went off without a hitch. Demitria loved being part of Jennifer and Dustin's special day.

Ohio/Oklahoma bound

2008-09-08T09:41:00.003-06:00

I really hate packing but it's a necessary evil for vacationing. We're headed to Ohio for Jennifer & Dustin's wedding. Demi is beyond excited to be their flower girl and to see pap-pap bubble gum and grandma swinger.

Then the kids and I are off to Oklahoma to the grandparents while Matt hangs back in OH for some fun in the woods.

Now entering the blogosphere

2008-08-30T19:56:00.000-06:00

I'm not sold on the whole online diary thing, but here's to the experiment...

Matt is in the midst of the annual Full Throttle Disc Golf Tourny at Solitude-- tied for 1st :)

Christina is getting into the back to school routine.

Demi is experimenting with first grade, having tested out of kindergarten. Her first week was a little rocky so the jury is still out- we're giving it a month or so.

Gage has two speeds: mach shnell and zzzzzz. He's getting bigger and faster everyday and his laugh is too contagious.

TJ is the most adored cat on the planet.
