What We've Been Up To

Ryan and I went on a date to see Avatar and I talked Ryan into posing in this so I could take his picture. Isn't he cute?One day at dance class the boys were all staring at the girls dancing.
We take our kids on dates each month, but I rarely take a camera. So I did this time with Cody. He wanted to go to Krispy Kreme for some doughnuts.

Then we went to Cabela's to just look around at all the animals. Best date ever.
Uncle Cameron came to town to visit. Here they are talking to Rachelle on the computer.
We try to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's once a year during winter time. We wash our hands for hours when we get home, but we always have a good time.


Kathleen has been too afraid to get her ears pierced, despite our best efforts to convince her. But she got some sticker earrings at Chuck E. Cheese's and was pretty excited about them.
Cody had his first visit to the dentist.

The kids all got t-shirts. The next day they all went upstairs to get dressed and came down in their matching shirts all excited and proud of themselves.
We had a fluke snow storm and the kids had a blast playing in it.
Ryan has been playing basketball at church. He was awesome. He made about 1/3 of their teams points, which is especially impressive when you consider that he isn't super aggressive and doesn't hog the ball. I guess he just got lucky with his shots. Or he was trying to show off for his hot wife.
We built a massive fort that stayed up for a week.
It was super spacious. I took this picture while sitting inside the fort.
We are reading one of the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" books. We read a few times inside the fort.

I'm a little (as in very) disappointed in the lack of pictures of me from my visit. I was there for 4 days and 3 nights, and there was only one picture and none of Rachelle! When Alyssa visits you, there are dozens of pictures of her. That's the last time I ever come visit you.
