The way Jamie sees it
5/25 (paddling on the kayak out by the dock and yelling):
"Somebody, I have to pee really bad, how do I get back in???"

5/21 (explaining why we need to bring so much food and toys camping):
"because if you run out of food and get bored, then you'll just go home"

3/15 "Wanna hear me rhyme? Coffee - woffee"
And how would you use woffee in a sentence?
"Well, to rhyme with coffee!"

3/1/09 helping chad install a shoe rack:
"mans like to build things. we're mans."

2/26/09 what he learned about dreams:
"when you're in a dream and you wake up, then you're just back in your bed again"

2/3/09 (watching Mickey mouse clubhouse)
Mickey: we need to jump forward and backward, can you help us?
Jamie: do it yourself, you stupid mouse

Abby's princess party

All set and waiting for friends...

The girls got to open Abby's present from grandma debbie - a chest full of princess dress-up clothes!

present time:



All was a success and Abby had a wonderful time, thanks to everyone who came!

bowling

When Chad got back from overseas, he took the day off and we all went bowling for a family outing. The kids loved it!!

Just a little bit of a foul!


The kids really liked waiting for the bowling balls to pop back up:


Jamie would literally throw his down the lane:

Abby just kinda dropped it and it one point I wondered it if it was going to stop. The pins stopped it and the thing (the one that cleans up the fallen over pins) came down and pushed it all the way in!
