While Millie was over at Angela's baby shower, my dad and I took the boys up to Camp Kiesel. We packed the BB guns, and introduced the boys to the joys of shooting a gun. They had a great time.

The very first shot Harrison took, he actually hit the cup on top of the wall and knocked it off.

We proped a soad can up and when we hit it we could hear the BBs rattling around in it until they came to rest on the bottom of the can. We spent an hour shooting (it was the fastest hour in our lives).
On the way home from camp the boys were making arrangment with Grandpa to go up again next month for more shooting.


Sneakily she crawled over to the Lazy Suzan and turn it until she found what it was that she was looking for. We hardly noticed what she was doing, until she was doing it for about three minutes. : )

Daily Harrison

The boys were outside in the front yard playing foam lightsabers with a neighbor kid.  I poked my head out the front door to check on them.  At the time I was eating a piece of chicken.  Harrison wanted to share a piece with me, so I tore him off a piece of it.  He quickly grabbed it and ran back to play with the boys.

As I turned back to go inside, I heard him yell to the others, "Now stop, I'm eatin' chicken here!"

Millie and I were spending a quiet afternoon with our children, when we began to hear the soft singing of the "Batman" song coming from Harrison, who was with his siblings in the living-room.  How cute! we thought.  The singing continued for some time, so out of curiosity I went to investigate what he was doing.  As only Harrison can do, he had climbed into this baby walker WITH Olivia.  When he saw me he quickly jumped out of the walker (like I would not know he was in it), leaving his sister with this expression on her face.  Olivia loves her brothers : )

To Make One Pause...

"The certainty that life cannot be long, and the probability that it will be much shorter than nature allows, ought to awaken every man to the active prosecution of whatever he is desirous to perform. It is true that no diligence can ascertain success; death may intercept the swiftest career; but he who is cut off in the execution of an honest undertaking, has at least the honour of falling in his rank, and has fought the battle, though he missed the victory."
-Samual Johnson, June 29th, 1751-

Just For Fun

Welcome

Welcome to my new family blog.  I hope to share information with you about the kids and what they are up to.  Also I hope this can be a place where we can share funny songs, movies (youtube), and stories.  Be Good!  WWJD : )!!!

Harrison

This morning we were sitting on our bed playing with Olivia (actually we were arguing as to who would feed Olivia her breakfast), when Harrison came in to join us. He quickly accepted the mission of going into the kitchen and getting his little sister a Graham Cracker.

A short time later we hear him struggling with a new box of crackers. The next thing we know the box of crackers popped open and fell to the floor and then "OOHHH! I didn't 'spect that to happen," Harrison exclaims.

We could hardly contain or even disguise our laughter as he came triumphantly back into the room with the broken cracker pieces in hand.

That boy makes me laugh.
