Lexy's Birthday Invitation

Lexy and I just ordered her Birthday Party invitations. We went with the WalMart photo card. So cute.If you see this blog your girl is invited. Please let me know if you plan to come so that I can plan for the right amount.

Isaac's Fantastic Drawings

Isaac drew these Dragon Ball Z suits of armor.

He loves the Dragon Ball Z stuff. He has card, action figures, he ordered a set of Dragon Balls from Hong Kong on eBay, tee shirts, recorded tv shows, DVDs, etc. It is fun to see how much he loves it and how much he knows about the characters and stories.

Lexy's New Shoes

Lexy got some new shoes this weekend on her trip to Virginia Beach with Amy and Isaac. She loves these new shoes. They are SOOOO pink. Plus she loves that they are tall.

She wore them to school today, she is so very pink today... We love it.

(Yes, this picture was altered with ColorSplash)

Kids Pictures

I got the disk of the kids pictures that we had done a few weeks ago. I can sent prints to you if you want. It's so easy to just have them printed and the WalMart closest to you. No one has to pay for shipping or anything. Plus, you can do fun collages like the one above. Thank you so much Annie...!!!

Isaac's ZigTechs

So if you read the blog last month you saw that Isaac has a wish list. Things he wants, maybe he doesn't need, but we all want some things. He did need some new school shoes. The IN-Style thing this year is the Reebok Zigtech shoes. We looked and looked and looked at them. Online, in that stores, at the mall, and he finally found some that we both liked enough. And they were on sale. He loved them......for the first day, when they were still "fresh", once the white soles got a few scuffs he was kind of bummed.

So, he was still looking at some more Zigtechs on eBay. He found these that sold in 10 minutes. The bids were about half of retail, with free shipping. I bid just for fun. When we were the high bidder we were stoked. So, they ended up at our house.. Yes, that is the Dragon Ball Z crew guarding the shoes. No scuffs on these. He wore them to school today. I hope that he has fun with his newest diggers.

Turkeys at The Ridges, again

We keep seeing this rafter of turkeys that hang around near where the subdivision driveway meets Creek Stone Drive. We have stopped to take pictures several times, but last night we got the best pictures so far. I think that they are getting used to the people being around. Yes, I had to look up what a group of turkeys is called. Several places have slightly different answers but most of them used 'rafter'. Of course I am going to give you the link to the MOST scientific reference know to the World Wide interWeb. (c) Jruss.I know there are some turkey hunters out there that look at this blog from time to time. You could harvest these with an BB gun, they are so close.Just right there for the taking...

More ColorSplash

I have had some much fun with this ColorSplash App. I had my sis-in-law send me the photo of her kids on the first day of school this week and quickly turned the back ground to black and white. (Side note: You can't even see the carpet, girl.)

It's quick, easy and fun. I really think that it makes the subject, the kids pop out.

Enjoy.

New Lexy Routine

Here is a little video from yesterday evening. Lexy is working on a new program to compete with. This was the first practice that she and Ms Mischa worked on that new program with the new music.

Can you figure out that music...???

End of August Random

Ok, here are some miscellaneous activities and pictures from the last week or so in our lives.

We had some new pictures of the kids taken a week ago or so. We got this one printed and hung on the wall. Good lookin' kids huh...?? You can look at all the picture on this web page, Annie Weible Photography. Let me know if you need a print. This is the new shirt that Lexy picked out with the money from her Grandparents. It smells like ice cream too.

At Third Base the other day Isaac made this little guy. It's Goku from Dragon Ball Z, his favorite cartoon. Pretty stinkin' good I say.
Isaac caught a butter fly the other day at my office. It was fun to watch him chase it down. It's kind of a funny look on his face, he didn't seem grossed out by it at the time, but this picture looks like he is.

Both kids were excited when I showed them this book that my Dad sent me. (Thanks Dad..!!!) It's the new 222 cookbook that was done by the family support group. There are about 5 recipes in there that I had sent to them. The kids think it's pretty cool that I have published recipes that you can buy in stores. I didn't tell them you can only buy it in Richfield.

WV Wild Pre Pre-Season Game

The Athens, Ohio coach called our PeeWee's coach and wanted to have a preseason scrimmage. What fun. The teams had not skated together yet. The coach didn't know all his players yet. Oh it was so nice to get in the hockey environment again. The WV Wild won 6-1. Our goalie Will almost got a shut out. As for me, I had a blast running the music from the stands using the wireless transmitter and my iPod.

Here is a blurry action shot of Isaac in the white chasing down on of the Athens kids. Here is Isaac on a break away headed in for a shot. He had 3 shots on goal, and one assist.

Here's the young man is skating in position. I was quite proud of him he remember to play his position most of time.

Isaac's number one fan was there too. Lexy was SO excited that Isaac let her wear one of his jerseys during the game.
