An Evening at the Park



Even though J.R. claims that soccer is boring, we caught him practicing tonight. I must admit - he is capable of some pretty fancy footwork! Can't wait until his game tomorrow. After dinner, we took a walk and stopped at the neighborhood park for a little bit. Markie goes down the slide over and over...and J.R. tries to stay out of trouble, but it seems to find him anyway. I think Jim has to correct him at least once during the video. :)



Yummy Yummy Fondue Party

After a long day at soccer camp and day care, J.R. and Markie enjoyed a wonderful visit with their best buddies, Miss Finn and Miss Emey. After dinner, the kids enjoyed their first fondue party with ooey gooey chocolate, bananas, grapes, and strawberries! We were pleasantly surprised - chocolate grapes are yummy! Although she likes fruit, Markie seemed to love the chocolate the most! In true Markie fashion, she finished with a little chocolate fondue in her hair.

Markie Bear

Any one who knows my mother, the infamous Nan Nan, knows that she is 100% responsible for this picture. We took this during our Idlewild trip the first weekend of June. The funny story behind it--- in the original picture, Markie had a runny nose. Lucky for our little diva, her Papa John took care of it with a bit of photo editing. Now, she is total Hollywood.
J.R. did not like day 2 of soccer any better than day 1. He said, "It is no fun to wait in line to kick a ball in a net." Oh, the fun of learning a sport! I saved the day with his cold lunch, however. One fit for a West Virginia King - a pepperoni roll, goldfish, pudding, and a capri sun. His soccer camp woes were all but forgotten.

Here We Go... Let's Blog


Wow! Thanks to our sister, Sara and her new hubby, Shawn we decided to start a family blog page too. Now more than ever, our family is all over the country. Here we go!


J.R started soccer camp today! Not sure if he enjoyed it, however. He said that soccer is "boring" and he wants to use the field to play baseball.
