Wow, I don't know how I'm doing it, but apparently it's just in my nature to kick all of your trash.
Remember, next week is the official weigh in to decide August's biggest loser and who will not have to pay the $5, so come on team, do you really want to live in a world where I have statistics to talk trash to you? I need someone who's going to challenge me or I might get bored and have to challenge myself or something. Come on, pick up the pace!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

As Steve so lovingly put it: " It's hard to believe I've been married to you for 1/3 of my life!" I love you too!

So, here's to the 10 years we've done and to the next 10 to come. Happy Anniversary to US!!!

Moulton Falls

Mom and Dad (Jones) were down here last weekend and so the kids and I took them to Moulton Falls. We took a picnic with us and spent the afternoon playing in the woods. It still amazes me what you can find around here just minutes from home!

We caught bugs,

Played in the river,

Watched the cliff jumpers

from the bridge

and hiked in the woods.

Kaden had a great time

And Emily left an "X" every 3 feet or so to make sure we could find our way back.

It worked.

It was a good day.

In the last month...

Kaden learned to feed himself (in very general terms!) with silverware ...

The girls got new, bigger bikes...

And Kaden, who has always had a love of music, discovered that it is twice as enjoyable when hearing it through earphones ...

...while talking on the phone!

Seriously, he LOVES this. He will come into the room, grab Steve by the knees and spin his chair around to face him. Then he will climb up onto his lap, put the earphones on, point to the screen and start dancing in Steve's lap waiting for the music to start. Once the music is playing he will reach for the phone and proceed to push as many buttons on that, as fast as he can, stopping periodically to shout "HI" into it. It's the only time I've ever seen him sit in the same place for more than 2 minutes! Just a little bit frightening if you ask me.
