Our week

Yesterday the boys both went to the doctor for check-ups. Isaac is 9lbs 13oz, 22 1/2in. Will is 24lbs, 32 1/2in. They are both healthy. Today we are going to the case lot sale at the commisary and then going to Walmart to pick up a few things. What is everyone else doing this week?

Soccer Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids during their soccer games.

Nicolas

It's late so here are just a few of our favorite photos of Nico.

Mike tuning our piano

Mike had a great idea to tune the piano. He would turn on a tuning program in the living room that would play the note and then go back into the extra room and try to match the note. That wasn't exactly the easiest way of doing it. So, he got the laptop (as you can see on top of the piano) and found another program that played the note and showed the frequency. Then he would play the note on the piano and adjust it until it was the same frequency as the note on the laptop. Smart man. Our piano sounds great now.

Laura and I both can curl our tounges. So far Nic hasn't done it, but we're hoping he will later... Right now we can't get our pictures from the camera to the computer but once we can we'll post some of nic and the new house.

More tongue curling

Looks like we can all do it.

Curl Your Tongue

Every six months or so Jason and I have the same friendly argument. He can curl his tongue and I can't. He thinks that I just don't try hard enough and that I can learn. I am sure that it is something you can either do, or not, a special curling your tongue gene. SO I need everyone to let tell us...Can you and your spouse curl your tongues? Feel free to post pictures of you doing it, or just looking dumb trying to do it! That will make me feel better!

Beach Party!

Here we are at the beach. Isn't Laura cute in her suit and hat and umbrella?
We took turns in the water and on the sand, as not all the kids wanted to be in the water at the same time. It was a very hot day, but we had fun. After the beach we drove to the board walk and wandered about eating and looking at things.

A Very Merry UnBirthday!!

While visiting in Maryland
we had an unbirthday for all that were there. We had ice cream cake, presents and a very fun game. We all had a great time and wished the rest of the family could have been there with us. Thanks again to the hosts (Mom and Dad)!! We love you!

Steven's First Court of Honor

Steven attended his first boy scout court of honor this evening where he was presented with his tenderfoot and 2nd class ranks. He has really enjoyed his first 6 months of scouting and already has plans to earn his Eagle by 14.

First Day of School

Rebecca and Steven started at their new middle school today. Rebecca started 8th grade and Steven started 6th grade. This is the first year in 3 that the kids have attended the same school. Next year Rebecca will be at a new school yet again starting high school. Overall I believe it was a successful first day.

Mom is Here

We are very happy to have Mom visiting us. She likes the boys and has been very helpful while she's been here.

On a different note, Adrianne and I are reading a book called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. It seems similar to body for life, from what I remember of that book. Adrianne would like to lose weight, and I am supporting her. The book also said by changing your eating/exercise habits you'll have more energy throughout the day. I would like that- I am tired a lot of the time. We'll let you know how it goes. I also bought some calipers that measure your body fat percentage. The book says we ought to be more concered with that than we are with wieght, which makes sense to me.
