The latest addition to Charlee's shoe obsession.

Fondue For Two

Actually it was three, but that doesn't really rhyme.
Travis and I took Dillon along on a date night a few weeks ago and we went to The Melting Pot, a good fondue restaurant in Legacy. Travis thought Dillon would enjoy the whole dipping thing.
It figures that out of the few hundred restaurants within a mile or so from where we live we had to pick the only one that hands your four year old long sharp dagger like forks.
Dillon is always a lot of fun and we had a good time, but I think next time we'll steer clear of fondue.

A Green And Brown Thumb

Oddly, I love working in the yard. I say oddly because when i was growing up my dad use to wake us up at the butt-crack of dawn, in his words, to pick weeds in the garden, I was definitely not feeling that. But now, as an adult, I officially love working in the dirt. This garden is one that we have just for the kids. It's where we grow our veggies, fruits, and any flowers they take a liking to.


I'm a big fan of mulch, or beauty bark as we call it on the west coast. As you can see it makes a huge difference in the look of the garden, but it also keeps a lot of weed seeds out, and when it comes to weeds, I don't really like working in the dirt.


Charlee's a pretty big fan of the mulch too.

ERrrrrr

You might be wondering why a posted a not so good picture of some silly stickers, and I'll tell you why...
To remind me of the night, last night, that I didn't get to bed until 4am because I was in the ER with my daughter due to some SERIOUS constipation coupled with a temp of 103. I am happy to say that things are fine now, and I even managed to make it through the day with my eyes open, at least mostly open. If nothing else, it was nice to spend some "alone" time with my first born, what an amazing girl she is growing up to be.

Separated At Birth

A Tale of Two Ships

We had a great time touring The Steamship William G. Mather Museum. It's a good family outing, although our younger ones got a little restless.







We enjoyed, even more, The USS Cod Submarine tour. This tour is self guided and really cool. It's worth every penny and great for all ages.




(I think Dillon was in heaven)

S'more please

My mother-in-law picked up a few treats for the kids while she was here recently. Among them were these. They really do make great no-flame s'mores.

So thank you Sheri, I guess.
