My lone blog visitor

Aaron just revealed that he faithfully reads my blog (but doesn't comment) - I feel special, now!

1st day of Spring = Smoothies

Kids were excited to have a spring break bike ride to Brittany and Bailey's and then on to Tropical Smoothie Cafe for Chocolate Chimp smoothies - that'll help em be monkeys for the rest of spring break . . .

TJ's spring break trip to the oral surgeon

He was a little out of it after they put him completely under just to take out a tennsy little baby tooth. He recovered quickly, tho, and is now a tough guy for future dental visits. The treatment was definitely worse than the 'disease'

Spring Training

TJ had a half day on Wednesday and Uncle Grant was down from Utah with some tix, so we went to an Angels/Royals game. It was hot, but TJ survived w/a misting fan. A perfect afternoon at the game ('cept the Angels lost)! Thanks, Grant!

Pinewood Derby Truck

TJ and I finally made a pinewood derby car together last weekend. He did a great job designing both on paper and the block of wood. He and Toby both helped cut out the shape with a saw and TJ used the dremel for some of the finer points. He picked out lots of stickers to put on the truck (thanks Aunt Sally for the stickers in the megablocks nascar racecar from Christmas) and he picked out the spray paint colors at Walmart. He even made the template for the "flames" painted on the sides of the truck.

Disneyland in a day

We saved the galaxy from Zurg!

TJ and I went on Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters ride and did a whole lotta shootin' to get these awesome scores! Too bad Heather was off getting her face painted and hanging out with princesses, we coulda used her help.

Toby tunes

Toby got his own 'ipod' - actually a cheapo sansa from woot.com - loaded with primary and disney songs

We made it home

But Toby still hasn't gotten out of the van - he's too excited to have his turn to watch a movie on the portable dvd player that TJ and Heather used :)

Nemo submarine line was too long at Dland, so . . .

TJ got to go on a REAL Russian submarine next to the Queen Mary!
