Surviving the heat

Its the reverse of Alaska and weird to have "cabin fever" in the peak of the summer when its gorgeous out, but the heat has driven us indooors where the early afternoons are spend relaxing in the AC.

The FISH SHACK

If you all could only hear the harp music that should accompany this title. Sean and Graysen got the detailed tour of the fish shack that was built from scratch by Doug. I however had the opportunity to actually go fishing in the fish shack over Christmas. Maybe next time boys! :)

Prospective house

Here is one of the houses that we are looking at. Its a repo from the builder so we have our fingers crossed. Its not every day that you get a chance to get a repo that has never been lived in!

Who's the big guy?

No trip to Mary and Doug's is complete without the traditional picture in front of the bear. I had tried to convince Mom to put a name tag on the bear with the name "Jinxie". There were a lot of "Meet the Fockers" references this weekend!

Boys will be boys!

The guys all had a great time playing football in the back yard. I bet all of them will be thinking again before taking on a 9 year old in touch football!

Practical Streak

Well, if any of you are in doubt, you can see where Jennifer gets her practical streak. After a hard afternoon playing on the grass, Graysen gets a scrubbing lesson from Mary with the help of the bidet. We didn't share what it is really for, all of us were glad Graysen didn't think it was a water fountain!

Mother's Day 2008

Mary, Grandma and Jennifer

More Snow in Seward

We all got a chance to ham it up in front of the camera thanks to Jennifer's very handy birthday present!

Graysen in the snow

Graysen did not know what to do in the presence of so much snow! We had been wearing shorts the day before at Doug and Mary's. He DOES know what to do when placed in front of a camera though!
