Lots and lots of pictures from our trip

Our trip to Two Rivers was a blast! These cute little cabooses can lodge up to 6 people. Rooster took a lot of pictures of the inside cabin. I hope to put them on her blog soon. So if you are interested in vacationing there you can check out the accommodations for yourself.
If you look closely you can see Big Dog looking out the window:)




GH was excited when we got inside the caboose.

We climbed up to the top of the caboose. The kids loved playing up there. Rooster loved playing with the lights.

I love this photo!

Time for smores

Rooster took this picture of GH and I.

There was tons of playground equipment at this state park.

Captain Awesome said this was easy.........










but, this was harder.

We spent time outside of the caboose blowing bubbles and playing catch.

Rooster and Big Dog enjoyed the lake.

GH did not like walking in the lake water.

But, GH did like splashing in a small puddle at the lake.














Look what I took a picture of;)

We threw some rocks in a lake. Rooster loved it!

Rooster and Big Dog hangin' out.

This is a picture from the dock at one of the lakes. We met a really nice guy there that had caught two fish. He let the kids look at them. The kids were pretty impressed. The fish were much more interesting than what we caught:)

Big Dog enjoying his breakfast

I was packing things for our camping trip and I found Big Dog gazing out the window enjoying his breakfast. If you can't tell he has a powdered donut and a little play cup with water in it. Isn't he precious?

May Crowning

We had our May Crowning this afternoon. I threw out my back so I was in no shape to do our outdoor Mary's. But, we still had an enjoyable ceremony for our blessed mother. Rooster put a small flower crown on one of our Mary statues.


Rooster loves Mary very much:)

I saw a really awesome idea on a blog. (Sorry I can't remember which blog it came from) The idea is that you say a decade on the rosary. For each Hail Mary you give a rose to Mary (it's suppose to be symbolic of sending your prayer to Mary) I cannot croquet pretty roses. But, I saw a rose garland at a local dollar store. There are two roses in each part of the chain. So I cut off ten sets to represent a decade of the rosary. Instead of using our rosary we used the rose garland. As we said a Hail Mary we took one rose, and gave it to Mary. GH took a few roses off the end. Rooster was not pleased. She whined "No Henry those aren't for you. They are for Mary".

Playgroup and potluck

Briana put together a great playgroup this week. We went out to her farm for a pool party and potluck. The kids had a great time and so did the mommies.

Where did Big Dog go?

Random pictures

I took this picture last night. I think I have a pretty good looking family.

We spent some time outside today. Rooster takes sports to the extreme.

I asked Rooster if she could see any stars with her "telescope". She told me "No, it's the daytime." I asked her what she saw. She informed me that she could see birds, yellow warblers to be specific. She is all about Yellow Warblers.

The other day she informed me that Woodstock from the Charlie Brown shows is a yellow warbler. One day about a year ago she told me she wanted a yellow warbler for a pet. I'm still not sure. But, I don't think a yellow warbler would be happy to be domesticated.

See you later partner

Tuesday Night Lights

We went to see Presto's ball game last night. He did great. He had two hits and scored once. He also got to play third base. Which I'm told is a pretty big deal on his team because his team is very good. And they did play great last night. Not to brag or anything (although I'm entitled because he is my nephew and godson) but, they beat the other team 25-1.

Presto is going to be ten years old this summer. I can't beleive it. It doesn't seem that long ago when I saw him in the hospital after he was born.

Here's some pictures with his mom Crystal.

He wanted a funny picture:)

It's time for an old fashion beat down!!!!!
