Boys Will Be Boys

STOMP Parade

Fairbanks held it's first ever STOMP (Salute To Our Military Parade) parade last weekend and it was amazing.  The parade demonstrated our appreciation and support for the soldiers, airmen, veterans, wounded warriors and their families for all that they sacrifice daily to protect our nation’s freedom.  Thousands and thousands of troops marched and it was an honor to be there to cheer them on. 

Bo, Devon, Sam, Aaron & Max

I thought this was a cute picture until I realized Sam has his hand down his pants

Sammy Says #4

Sam kicked Bo today because he was mad at him.  I sent him to his room and when I went in there to talk to him about it, this is how it went down:

Me:  Why did you kick him?
Sam:  Because he turned off the tv in the middle of the show.
Me:  It's ok to be mad.  I would be mad too, but what's a better way you could have handled it?
Sam:  I could have hit him.

Pinky Toe Infection

Who knew a tiny little cut on your pinky toe could turn into this?!  I  had the cut for a few weeks and then it gradually got more and more sore.  Then yesterday Max stepped on it in the parking lot and it just about dropped me.  I screemed like a little girl.  And later in the dayI stubbed it on our rubbermaid tub of trains and almost peed myself it hurt so bad.  That's when I realized there was a red streak going up my foot and I decided I should go have it checked out.  Three IV antibioitcs, a quickly growing red streak and six hours later, I was discharged with an additional 10 day oral supply of antibiotics and a diagnosis of Staph Infection.  Not cool.  And not helping my training if I can't even put a shoe on.  Sucks!

Spring Time

I love spring time.  The days get longer, the temperatures get warmer, and everyone gets happier.   Here are some pics from our first time to the playground this year.  The boys had a blast.
