a mega post!

Yes. I know. It's been a while. I have been busy! So here is a quick catchup of the past week or so....





Travis had a stomach bug last week. Woke up throwing up and thew up majority of the next day so had his first day absent from school. Pizza was dinner the night before. You do the math on what his bed looked like. he then graciously shared his bug with his mom and dad...although we didn't have vomiting. Luckily no bed sheets were harmed in OUR being a little under the weather. :-)





For those of you up north, I don't know what your weather is like right now but ours has been GORGEOUS! Seriously. Windows open, cool breeze blowing, this is the life right here. And why am i sitting around blogging right now? Well, Jay and Travis took off for a little while and took my van keys with them. So no grocery store for me! Instead, lots of laundry. yuck.


But I did create this:


Travis has been very into his art class in school. One day they had to draw stingrays (their school mascot), here is his stingrays (also a shark on the side):
and some self portraits:


and our favorite so far...this was done friday, his art teacher told them to draw a picture of the people they love, doing something or going somewhere that they love...this is his picture:


It is a picture of our Parker boat (notice the 2 motors on the back...err bottom of the page) and his daddy is driving it, I am sitting on the cooler and Travis is throwing the anchor. Favorite picture hands down so far!!!

Hmmm what else....Oh, he started karate. He SAYS he hates it! But he comes home enthusiastic about it and has been practicing his punches. We are going to give it another couple weeks then sneak in to watch one day.
And in honor of October coming...a little picture. They say money can't buy happiness but this little 50 cent pumpkin sure will make a little man's day when he see's it shortly (a present from mema)
