garden post

Garden Post:



So on this post I wanted to include some pictures of the Garden. We haven’t had the same success with our squash and zucchini this year, but you can see that we do have some stuff growing. Faye loves to eat the flowers off of the Bok Choy. Lori took a video of her stealing some and running away to her special chair to eat them.

There are some pictures of our strawberries, peaches and the beginning of some sunflowers (Lori is hiding in the background). Lori had a salad that she liked so much she had to take a picture… so that is included in the slide show too.

We enjoy the garden. Lori spent a lot of Sunday on our picnic blanket in the shade of the fruit trees reading a book today while Marley and Faye hunted for sweet peas. Hopefully by the time the snow reunion comes we have some veggies to share… Grandpa Alan style.

I also added some pictures of the Cottonwood fluff on Sunbrook GC when Faye and I went this weekend. Allergy suffers BEWARE! The fluff was about 1/4" thick on some fairways.

Faye's first stiches

On Saturday Bret was in charge of getting Faye to her Dance class. He helped her dress in her leotard and left early with a pre-planned route that avoided the ironman traffic. She got to class a little too early so she and some of her friends in class began to fool around on a trampoline (the small exercise kind). She ended up falling of and hitting her head on the corner of a wall.

The blood started pretty quickly, so Bret took her to the bathroom to sort out her hair and find the cut. Faye was screaming pretty frantically. It was split pretty good so Bret rushed her to the insta-care for stitches.

The doctor didn't want to have to cut her hair and Faye didn't want that either. So They chose staples.

See what happens when Lori leaves Bret and Faye alone for a few hours?

Happy Mothers Day Lori! We love how you keep us out of trouble and out of the hospital.




oh yeah... today I was asked by someone, "who is Cee-Lo Green?"
Well in reponse here is some Gnarles Barkley, that means it is Cee-Lo + Danger Mouse (the guy that produced the Gorillaz beats). Check the awesome videos for a sample. The video is a promotion of the Odd Couple album and that is why Cee-lo is dressed as Darth Vader and Danger Mouse is dressed as Obi Wan.

Heavy Metal Wizard Christmas

So this is another post, yup... two in a week! I just got our photo's off of the camera from Christmas so I thought I would share with you some of them.

Some notes... Yes there is a Christmas picture with a heavy metal wizard telling a Dungeons and Dragons style of story. There is a Christmas elf with a big, live bird. And a Greek, Red-head Mrs. Clause. There are a few of Holland, Arti and Jim. Oh and check out the matching dresses and PJ's that Faye got for herself and her doll/baby. Some snow pics with Marley and some tumbling class pictures also made the cut.

What happened in March

First of all I missed the music player that I used to have on here, but often didn't work and was kind of annoying sometimes... So I have a new section of the blog called Sweet videos. You can find it in the top right corner of your screen. So go check out Jimmy T's "One More Try" and go ahead and steal the dance moves...

Here are some March Pictures. It was Bret's birthday. We had an AGGIE birthday and filled out our final four brackets, played pin the tail on BIG Blue and had Grandma and Grandpa Snow over for ice cream cake.

On the night before St. Patrick’s Day we rigged up a completely-functional trap at the end of a finger-painted rainbow complete with fake gold coins to try and catch a Leprechaun. We missed but he left us some candy in his pot and a pair of green gloves instead.


We've been having fun in the garden too. Faye is great at planting seeds and we are already eating our radishes, mustard greens and bok choy.

Bret bought a wood chipper because Lori wanted wood chips in part of the yard and the chipper would cost less than the chips... Well now he spends a portion of every week chipping wood that he gathers from around the neighborhood. A few pictures are included of him chipping up the neighbors trees.

He also decided that the string on the kite winder was not of good enough quality so he used a drill to remove the old string and replace it with new string. Lori thought this was a crazy idea...

Finally we found a dance class that was right for us. Faye will be a star (she plays a star in the night sky) in the troupe's (is that what it is called?) production of Peter Pan... I can't wait.
