Fun With Friends and Family
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
We have had so much
fun spending time with friends and family this
summer. It's nice to have the time to hang out with
people you like. Skyler has more girlfriends than
the law allows, though. I will have to have a chat
with him soon.
Being Silly
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
After Skyler spent a
long time making a "playground park" on his bed, he
decided to make a pig face in the dirty window.
Once I thought the silliness left him, we went
swimming, but the water always makes Skyler go
crazy. We had fun together!
Our First Launch
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Last Saturday, Skyler
and I took my father out to test the first launch
of our Titan Blast Rocket. All it took was some
water and a lot of sweat in the 113 degree Phoenix
desert. This week, my summer school class has
worked hard and had some eventual success. I've
been reminding them about the shuttle launch on
Thursday morning.
Watch Our First Launch!

Cow Appreciation Day
Friday, July 10, 2009
Skyler had fun playing
and swimming with Macy and Brody this afternoon.
But, when it came time for dinner tonight, I read
about Chick-fil-A and their 5th Annual Cow Appreciation Day.
Skyler and I dressed like cows to get free
meals. It was a fun ending to a great day!
Up and Ice Cream
Thursday, July 09, 2009
Today we saw the new
movie, Up. It was a very good story and
another great Disney Pixar film. Last night, I
saw a teaser trailer for Toy Story 3,
which comes out next summer.
After the movie, Skyler remembered the ice cream sign he saw on our way in, so we just had to get some! He had fun making his tongue (and face) blue. Renea even joined in!

Safety Latches and Knobs
Wednesday, July 08, 2009
Yesterday, my uncle,
Chris, installed knobs and handles in our kitchen,
while Renea worked with my aunt, Susan, on a
computer college course (very difficult and lots of
work). The new knobs and handles really change the
look and feel of our kitchen and pantry area.
Skyler and Lukas played all around the house and
then later everyone went for a nice swim.
Earlier in the day, I thought about when I installed some cabinet latches because of Skyler and how I had to remove them now. He is growing so big and is learning so much each and every day.

Fireworks 2009
Tuesday, July 07, 2009
Why not spend the entire weekend celebrating the
greatest country in the world? Great idea! Friday
night, we went to Anthem and saw fireworks
after Skyler's swim lesson. Saturday, we
spent the day at two parties and went
swimming. Sunday, my parents and brother
stopped over and we played Wii bowling.
I tried avoiding any conversation or thoughts about Michael Jackson and focused on the men and women who've fought and currently fight for our independence and freedoms. God bless America!

Elsie's Birthday Surprise
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Last weekend, we celebrated my grandma Elsie's
birthday. She wasn't expecting all of us from
town and out-of-town to surprise her, so it was
very exciting for everyone. After getting group
photos at her home, we went to Arby's for her favorite
lunch. Then, we traveled to our house for
Wii videogames, swimming, and a cake. Later
on, we went back by her home for Uncle Sam's Pizza and
celebrated once again. It was a great day
and everyone had a good time.
