Born for the Beach

Nate wants to know when the next "bacation" is.....me too.

The Dogs...

Last year's litter...seven of the nine little pups. We did keep one...




I know...why doesn't someone come up with a spray to keep 'em that size.

Talents

The other day Jacob was helping "teach" Gabe how to fold a piece of American cheese into four even squares to make the perfect Ritz, cheese, and pickle sandwich. He turned to me and said, "isn't it funny that I am smaller than Gabe but I know how to so something that he doesn't know how to do?" I explained to him that we all have talents and it is good to share with others..and Gabe has many he shares with you (Jake). Jake's face lit up and he turned to me and declared with authority..."Dad, that means that I have 2 talents...I can fold American cheese and I can count to 100!" Jake...you forgot to mention that you know how to make your Dad laugh...

Game on...

So the wife has decided to start blogging....now I feel the pressure to actually make an occasional post so that my blog isn't the laughing stock of the family. Anyway, had to drop a few of the latest pictures. Happy November!

Here are a few of the latest Haloween pics...

Nate (skunk) and me (grease monkey)

Jacob (Buzz)

and Gabe (Lightening McQueen)

My favorite part of Halloween is pumpkin carving - I let the kids tell me what they want and then send them to bed. This year was not my best effort...but still fun.

Last year's were a little better....
