Scenes from Last Week

Last week I was both sick. sick. sick. and away at a work conference.  Two things that go so very nicely together.  Okay, they don't.  But I survived.

Here are the good highlights....as opposed to the nerdy-work related ones.

Drinking Minnesota beer and visiting with the Germans....it doesn't happen every day

Bob (that's the guy in red) won the lumberjack contest.  And we love all people named Bob around here.

Someone told me there was a giant spoon with a cherry on it at the park behind our hotel.  But all I could find was this dandelion....

The gift I got my mom from the vendor show.  You know, to remember the time she really had MRSA.
Just in case she forgot.

I remember now why we avoid the carnival at all costs. 
But the kids had a good time.

The boy got a jeep for Father's Day. 
I think Emmers and Bob are going for best kids ever award or something.

A day at the lake

Paddle Boating with the little man -
 turns out he's more in it for the joy ride and not so much the pedaling part

Emmers doing what she does best

Emma is desperate to be a lizard whisperer someday

The gymnast and the ballerina

Emma and Aubs after Achievement day

 

Achievement day at FLIPS gymnastics was a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find the USB adapter for the camera (shocker, I know!) so it took me till now to get the videos off.

We watched, Burrito did what he does best and fidgeted, and then we all went out for frozen yogurt.  All fun dates should end that way.

Here's the links to Emma's routines:

Floor

Bars

Vault

Beam

Podium

It's going to be a good summer

While to boys run to the hardware store for the 5th time,

the girls will fish.

We are trying to catch the giant goldfish.

Maybe he will grant us a wish if we throw him back.

Always a busy, fun weekend

A certain little person had a birthday. Hard to believe she's 7 already.

We took flowers to grandma, grandpa, and my brother.

Our little crossfit family is getting so big

And I participated in the Memorial Day Murph (the story here):

Run 1 mile
100 pull ups
200 push ups
300 squats
Run 1 mile

My time: 55:28



Epic

Bob: Mom, I really  need to wear my mouse ears today.

Maybe you've been playing too much Epic Mickey on the wii?

Bob: No, I'm just really getting excited for Disneyland.

That's not till August, Bob.

Dragon Slayers

How can you not at least chuckle at the look on Bob's face

Clearly dragon slayers are close kin to pirates, clearly.
