Both Isaac and Lexy have had a BLAST at the Fuller's place. They have a sweet play house with a rope swing and zip line. The rope swing is super fun. Here are some little videos of the kids riding it.

Rib Fest Videos
So here are the uploaded videos of Isaac from Rib Fest in Huntington last weekend.
He climbed all three sides of this rock wall. The other kid had like a 30 second head start on Isaac. I thought that he was going the catch and beat him. It was close. I love Isaac's smile at the end.
This is the bungee cord lanes. He made one cord look so easy that they hooked two cords up to him. As you see he had to work, but he still got the job done. Good Job Isaac...!!!
This was his highlight. He loved these balls. The other boy in the video is Isaac's friend from hockey Will. They had a blast in these balls. Isaac has been looking online to find one to buy.

What Has Lexy Been Up To...???
So what has Lexy been up to...???
She has been busy. And she hasn't skated in nearly a week. Weird. Good thing she has a Ms Mischa lesson tonight. On Monday she got to go to the birthday party of Sophie Johnson. They did some fantastic face painting. Super cute, huh?
Later that evening the Payne girls came to our house for dinner and playing. We hadn't been to our house for 5 minutes and here they came with lip stick on. So we had to get a picture of the pouty lips. Then I demanded that it got put away, no more makeup...!!! 
They ended up painting nails. Lexy got a new box to keep her fingernail polish, etc in. If you look close on the table you can see it open there. It's got pink designs and a clear lid. She has clippers, files, polish remover, cotton balls, Q-tips, and about 6 colors of polish... and counting.
By Tuesday she needed more polish. So at lunch time we grabbed some more to match her cloths. Here she is waiting for her chicken nuggets and painting her nails.
Lexy got a bit board at my office in between movies. So she was drawing dresses and this flower was so cool that I had to take a picture and share.

Rib Fest 2011
Rib Fest is a holiday at our house. Especially for Isaac. He LOVES ribs. So when we missed the Charleston Rib Fest, due to being in Utah. We went to the Huntington Rib Fest this year. I let Lexy off the hook, she hung out with her friends instead.
Here is Isaac just inside the gates.
Must have an action shot... Mmmmmm R-I-B-S...!!!

To tell the truth, Isaac was disappointed in the ribs this year. They had been cooked enough that the cartilage and bones were falling apart and he ended up with too many bones in his mouth. But he loved the rest of the event. We invited the Fuller family to go with us so they rode with us. We all piled in the truck and off we went. They are a lot of fun. Just to catch everyone up, the Fuller family is part of our Hockey Family. Will is the goalie from Isaac's team last year.
The kids tore up the games. This is Isaac running the lane with 2, yes 2 bungee cords strapped to his back. The little guy ran it so fast with one that they had to strap a second bungee cord to him the give him a challenge. He mastered it with two as well. The object was to grab the black balls that were at the end, then put them back. He got them all. I will try to post some video later. He was an ANIMAL...!!!
Isaac mastered the climbing wall. It was kind of steep on the price at $5. But when he hit the top and they let him go again, and he hit the top a second time, and they let him go again. I was OK with the $5. He got to the top of all three sides of the climbing wall. GREAT JOB Isaac...!!
Finally, here is a picture with Will too. These balls were one of their highlights of the night. They put the boys in the ball, blew it up with a leaf blower and turned them loose in the water. The has so much fun. Again, I will try to post video later.
The boys both got silly glasses with flashing lights and stars and strips blow up machine guns. they looked so cool and had a blast with them. Here the boys are together enjoying the Joe Diffie concert at the end of the day. If you look close in the upper right hand corner you can see Joe Diffie on the stage rockin' a little 'Third Rock from the Sun'. 
Here is a fuzzy picture of the boy and I. It was such a great time.
Jamie and Amy didn't want Lexy to be left out of the fun, so they bought her some silly glasses too. She loves them, no surprise there.

HB 2 Me
If you know me much you know that I don't like any fussing about my birthday. Well I kept things pretty low on the radar. There were some leaks on FaceBook, but I them shut down in time, but not before some of my family (church family) here in West Virginia got a hold of it. So before I knew it we were headed to the Payne's house to play games after dinner. The kids and I had made a cake, so we took it to share. 
Our cake got TOTALLY shown up by this cake...!!! 
But they do look great together.
That fancy cake was made by our good friend SF. I am trying to keep it on the down low. She can let you know if'n she wants. But with such a fantastic cake I better be careful before I volunteer her to make more. I am pretty sure that she whipped that cake up same day. I don't think that she knew about the birthday or a party until mid-morning that day of. WOW. Thank you sooo much.
In keeping on the down low. I want to make sure that I thank the families that threw this little party. The P Family, the F Family, the B Family, and special guest January Carol. ;) Hope you like that one KB.
I have one action shot to share, these two have so much fun together. Just as a warning, I might steal this kid and her siblings. They are such great kids...!!!
To wear it out, Thank You, all of you that put this together. I have really enjoyed the Diet Mt Dew and the mints. The party and games were a blast. It goes to show that you all know me. It is so nice to feel loved.

Misc Stuff from this Week
I got a call from a strange phone number the other night. It was Elder Wright. One of the missionaries that we got quite close with last summer when he was serving in Charleston. He and I have passed some letters back and forth. It was his last day on his mission and he wanted to see us. The kids and I met him at the mission home for about an hour. It was super fun. He headed back to Dallas, TX where he is from, but he is planning to go to school in Pittsburgh, PA this fall. We'll see him again when he comes back. Thanks Elder Wright...!!!
I was in downtown Charleston yesterday and saw this car. We parked and walked back to check it out. Pretty cool. I talked to the guy for a minute. He is from here and is working on a temporary basis with Google to map the area. He said that once he was done the car would be passed on to someone in a different area and he would find a new job. I use Google Street View all the time so it was cool to see one of their cars.
Matt and I were passing through Charleston about lunch time so we stopped by Pies and Pints for some lunch. I like this picture.
Last night we stopped by the SCMIA to get Isaac's skates. We accidentally left them their the other day. Butch told the kids, "We have dead ice until 7:15 if you want to skate." Of course they do. Isaac laced up and borrowed a stick while Lexy and I ran home to get her skates. I brought Isaac back some other gear, he had a blast with one of the guys that works at the rink getting some extra stick and puck drills in. I left my iPod with him so that he could get some jammin' in at the same time on the ice rink sound system.
Even Lexy got in on some stick and puck. They had fun passing the puck back and forth. She wanted a picture in her hockey pose. You all know Lexy though, she skated her last routine, did some spins with the stick in hand, and skated to some Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez.
I love that place. THANK YOU Butch...!!!!

JD's Hockey Camp
Isaac skated in JD's Hockey Camp last week at SCMIA. He missed the first two days as we were coming back from Utah. He had so much fun at the camp. It was great to see him jump back into hockey. I couldn't believe how fast he was when he first step on to the ice. It was great.
This is the camp photo. Isaac is on the far left on one knee.
Here is a quick picture of him sitting on the wall at the hockey box.
This one is Isaac and Will the goalie from last years Squirts team. Will is a great goalie and a great kid. Isaac ended up have a sleepover at Will's house on Saturday night. Good family.
I jumped in to this one with Isaac. It was fun to see him skate. If you notice behind us hanging from the ceiling is the banner that was hung up to represent the 2010-11 Squirts Championship. 
Here is a quick video of Isaac skating the cones drill. Too bad he didn't have a beginning of the week time to compare. I was pretty impressed with how fast he was able to skate this. He has really improved his skills over the last year.

Trip to the Dentist
Lexy had to get some dental work done this morning. She had on cavity filled and sealant put into her molars. Our dentist is so awesome. He explains things to the kids, talks about his boys, and he and I swap recipes while he works. Oh, I almost forgot, they have digital wireless Xrays, so cool.
Here is Dr. Graziani showing Lexy what he is going to do in her mouth.
Here it is up close and personal. Notice the pink nose piece. Of course Lexy picks the pink one.
Here he is getting her fixed up. 
Lexy hates to go to the dentist, but she has fun when she is there. She cried a little when we were driving to the appointment, but she loves to visit with Dr. Graziani and his assistants.

Summer Program
This is Lexy's Summer Skating Camp Program. She picked the music and most of the moves herself. We are so proud of you Lexy...!!!
New Diggers
Lexy got some new shoes last week. I think that they are super cute. They are low profile, pink and white, Puma's.
She also has been spending a bunch of time with her new friends the Payne Girls. Here is a fun picture of Camryn and Lexy together. Camryn to so sweet and fun to be around. All of the Payne Girls are. They are a great family.
This picture is right after Lexy's summer skating camp show, just before she taught Camryn how to skate. We can't wait to take Jamie and Brylee. Maybe we'll just make it a family night activity.
