Memory Lane!

Brooke and I were remembering old bands that we liked and decided to take a walk down memory lane and relive those momements via youtube.

1. Nelson - After the Rain
You have to love the long, blonde hair - classic.


2. New Kids on the Block - Please Don't Go Girl
Great song. Loved this band. This song was pre Joey voice change.


3. Cinderella - No Body's Fool
We used to lipsink to this one. I think my mom still has the video of us with our tennis rackets. That would be a great one for youtube. What is funny is that I still remember all the words.


4. Journey - Don't Stop Believing
We drove home and saw this on a billboard and it sparked or conversation around classic bands. I love the tight pants - cheetah shirt look. I am all for the mullet coming back. I would even have to grow one out again.

Ethan is 18 months! Yes.

Ethan went to his first day of nursery. That makes dad happy!

Track, dragons, wheelbarrow rides, and great finds

Avery had her first track meet of the year. She is really enjoying. She was very excited because this year they get to do field events, such as, high jump, long jump, and throw the softball. Jen was telling the coach about Brooke and her glory days, so he invited her to come and coach the kids on high jump techniques. Brooke had a great time, but said her back hurt when she was done. She didn't lace up the shoes or take a full jump, but did do some back flops onto the pad. Avery was even more excited to have mom there.



Liam the dragon showed up for dinner the other day looking like this.


I was pulling weeds the other day, and the boys really wanted to help. They both had their own shovels and were helping pull weeds. The best part was their ride to dump the dirt and weeds in the neighboring fields.



We have found a couple of good finds lately - a bike trailer and the tent. We have been looking at Costco Land for a bike trailer. Brooke stopped by to see if they had them in yet. The lady said no, but that she saw one at Goodwill that was in great condition. Brooke called the Goodwill's and found it. It still had all the tags on it and everything. The second great find was the tent. The boys spend a lot of time playing in that thing. Liam has even taken to sleeping in it.
