Friday Night Bowling!

On Friday nights, I (Renee) bowls in a league at Northwest Annex (the base Luke was stationed at).  While I bowl the kids have to entertain theirselfs and so far so good.  There are other folks there with kids and they all seem to play well together. 

Here is how they entertain theirself most of the time...

Casey, Chester (beside Casey), Justin (across from Casey) and ?

...by playing their DS's.  I know, it isn't the greatest way to spend time together, but if they are happy, then I am happy.  HAHA!

On this past Friday night, Luke was teaching Justin how to play a new game he got for his new DS.  I am happyy that he knows now, so next time, he can be happy playing with the big kids...haha.

Toilet or Toy?

The start of the breaking of the toilet Maybe if I throw rocks at it, maybe that will make it break???

Well if the other two things didn't work, maybe the pitch fork will???

Oh yeah, knocking it over worked.

*Dad let Justin break apart the old toilet and he had hours of fun. He got the tank broken apart, but not the bowl. Well we haven't hauled off the old toilet yet, so maybe he can keep working at it until he gets the bowl broken.

Fondue is Fun!

Renee feeding Luke with her long fondue stick! HA HA! Bubba feeding Casey. WOW - look at that big mouth...haha! After Luke was all done, he gave Hershey a bite.

*Pizza Fondue (From Luke's Dad, but also made by Luke's Mom)

15 oz of Tomatoe Sauce

4 oz of Mozzerella Cheese

Heat and serve with chunks of French Bread

Heat very slowly or in crock pot, it sticks on bottom of pan - stir often

Their NEW Pool!

We got this new pool for the dogs, but the kids enjoyed it more, then they did thebig pool the first day. Luke came in the house and said we need to sell our big pool. I was like why, he said the kids enjoied the small pool just as much as the big one...haha. Denali will get in the little pool, but not Hershey. They both like going swimming in the river, but only Denali likes getting wet at home.

Memorial Day Weekend

This past weekend, we had lots of fun....

...having fires in our fire pit

....boating

...getting in our pool

...going to the beach

It's a.....Boat!

Luke finally got a 'toy' that the whole family can enjoy and we sure have enjoyed it already. This past Saturday was my first time going on the boat, since I was gone when Luke got the boat. I really enjoyed it, but just a bit scared to drive fast (30mph)..haha. Justin was a better driver then me, of course when you are a child - you have no fear. He drove while sitting in Luke's lap and was just so happy. I will try to get some pictures next time.

I had to make one rule while on the boat and that is kids and adults cannot fish at the same time, cause it becomes crazy! Luke did teach the kids to cast really well while I was gone, that's good he can handle the craziness better then I. :)

Bear Day (aka Field Day)

Go Casey Go!

Today was Bear Day(aka Field Day) at NES and as always Justin and I joined in the fun. I didn't have as much fun this year as I did last, since I was not feeling well. I am just glad both the kids felt well enough to have fun.

Strawberries

The fun just started! Today, the kids and I stopped by the Strawberry Farm on our way to the softball game. We picked us 10 pounds of strawberries. It was so much fun, that we might do it again. We didn't even know we had 10 pds until we went to get them weighed. I might freeze a few and give some to the neigbors, but no matter what we have some good fresh strawberries. Justin looking for the 'perfect' one.
