Cub Scout Kite Flying Day!









Noah's Cub Scout Pack had its 3rd Annual Kite Flying Day on Saturday. It was lots of fun to spend time with the family, but the winds were very low and it was difficult to keep the kites in the air. Samantha had the best luck with her simple (basic) kite! Luke probably had the most fun, as he had never got to walk with such freedom in such an open and expansive field. I can't wait to see him in Ohio!
Noah got a little bored with the endeavor, so he found his way to the picnic tables. Let me just say, mama wasn't too happy when she discovered he brought his PSP. I was giving him a little leeway to hangout with his friend who was temporarily confined to wheelcheer (due to a recent trampoline accident and surgery). I just didn't expect them to both be sitting there playing electronic games. What happened to conversation, common courtesy and enjoying a beautiful day outdoors? Can you tell this is a pet peeve of mine? It is frustrating when kids totally miss the point!

My Perfect 10!


It's hard to believe that Noah is 10 years old. He is so fun when you are not fighting against that "strong will" of his. He is a huge flirt and has a natural ability to make fast friends. He does not like to be kissed (at least by his mom) in public, particularly if she is wearing lipstick. On the other hand, I love every kiss that I can get from my favorite 10 year old.

Precious Moment Between Father and Daughter!


Evan and Samantha had lots of fun dancing. It is hard to believe that "Daddy's little girl" is going to be 13 next month.

My Two Favorite Tweens! 6/13


These pictures were taken before cousin Katie's Bat Mitzvah. The kids had a great time at the Bat Mitzvah! They are a bit envious of their Jewish cousins!

Berry Picking! 5/25












Blueberry picking was a fun family experience. We discovered that Luke can pick and quickly devour berries! Apparently, he loves them! Yum! Yum! After the berries were boxed and bagged Luke was yearning for another new taste. Check out the video to see what else he tried.

Disneyland & Uncle Terry's Birthday 6/7





We all went to Disneyland for Uncle Terry's Birthday. It took a bit of bribery, but Evan and Noah both rode Space Mountain for the first time. They both loved it!
