The Birthday Weekend

Posted by Scott in birthday, entertainment

Last weekend was K’s birthday and we spent it doing a bunch of fun stuff. Friday night we took J over to grandma’s house for a five day visit and K and I were off to see Tropic Thunder. The movie is a laugh riot and Tom Cruise does a memorable job in a small […]

Toothless or Ruthless?

Posted by Scott in family, science

Actually it’s the non-violent kind of toothless. Yesterday, J lost his first tooth and is prouder than almost anything he’s done so far. On the downside he also lost his first tooth but we reassured him that the tooth fairy keeps a very good spread sheet on all things regarding loose teeth. He’s excited to […]

J was amped and I was somehow volunteered into this day of hot sun, sun block and tons of chlorinated water gushing thrill rides. Originally I had 4 kids […]

Holiday Road

Posted by Scott in family

Well the Evanskeys did their annual trek up to Shaver Lake and somehow managed to force ourselves to come back to civilization. This year the weather was beautiful everyday and usually peaked at around 90-92 degrees with a wonderful breeze. Not an ounce of humidity to muck up the days and the water was perfectly […]
