Summer is here

Snow cone stand was a hit. Won't be the last one.

Oscar looks at the ocean like it's a best friend. He loves it and already misses it.

A collection was started.

Brave stork or brave tourists ???

These sand figures are real; they're sprayed throughout the day.

Henry's first lesson on simple machines from dad.

"Go Speed Racer!" a classic quote of J.W.D. :)

Birthday Boy

Oscar was all smiles when he opened this gift to commemorate "his buddies" he met last month at the airport . Each astronaut wrote a message and signed Oscar's paper airplane when he approached them at their table at Flight Deck Cafe. Exceptional role models...and anyone earns extra points in my book for encouraging my son to listen to his parents.

Oscar's expressions are unmatched in our family.

A Visit With an Astronaut

While sitting at Flight Deck Cafe this morning, we watched a NASA jet come in for a landing. The 2 pilots came into the restaurant and sat down for breakfast. Oscar mustered up the courage to go ask them for their autographs. They were very gracious and kind to Oscar. Shortly after Oscar sat down, one of the pilots came up to our table and said, "Oscar, I'm going to go out to my plane, would you like to come out and take a look?" Of course he said yes. Joined by Jacob and Grandpa Cobbley, everyone had a up close look at this T-38. The astronaut in training lifted each of them up so they could see inside the cockpit. It was a great experience and you can tell from Oscar's expression, he totally loved it. This is the gentleman who is with the boys in these pictures: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/fischer-jack.html

Flag Football April 16th, 2011

The boys had great games last Saturday. Here's a clip of 2 good plays that Jacob had in his game.

Oscar had a great game! He scored 3 touchdowns and had several touchdown saving "flag-pulls" to lead his team to a 18-6 victory. I split his clips into 2 videos to fit them on the blog.

Here's the 2nd video

Oscar's Giraffe

Oscar has thoroughly enjoyed his art classes with Mrs. W. He's now taking a third session and he still comes home from his lessons with a huge grin on his face. It's quickly scanned (not no quickly if it still needs to dry) and emailed to the grandparents. I'll see Oscar throughout the week eye his artwork on the fridge and ask questions like, "Mom, does my artwork make you happy?" or "Mom, I can't wait to see what I'll do next week at my art lesson." I'm excited what you'll do next, too, buddy.

Self Taught

Marsha took Henry's training wheels off of his bike. She then put the tools away and went inside to get the video camera. When she came outside, this is what she found:
