We love you, GGP!!!!

OK, I have many "fans" of my blog - but my #1 fan is Rich's Grandpa, Bob Pressler, also known as "GGP" (which stands for Great Grandpa Pressler). He is convinced that we only write the blog for HIM (ha ha).

GGP sends daily e-mails to a numerous amount of people (us included) that consist of a "thought of the day" or "quote of the day" - they are very uplifting, and sometimes a real tear jerker e-mails that are always thought provoking from someone very dear to us!

Today I received this sweet poem from him and wanted to share it with all of you:

"I enjoy your blot
a very lot

Oh, wait, it's not
a blot

A blot it's not
and so I thot

But, should I engage
a brand new page

To be quite a sage
or express my rage

On the center stage
or another page

I'm off the track
and do surely lack

The first answer sought
is far from bought

And, since I am caught
with words of naught

These rhymes to log
in my greatest fog

Oh, yes, the word is blog"

AGAIN!

We were making Sam laugh by reacting to him turning the TV off and on. I could listen to his laugh all day long.....

He kept wanting to do this again and again.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT GAIL!!!

Today is my Aunt Gail's birthday!

My Aunt Gail is very special to me....she is a very thoughtful, loving, and compassionate woman that is always thinking about others before herself! Something really neat about my Aunt Gail, is that she is always sending cards to ALL of us - letting us know that she's thinking about us. She also sends postcards every time her and my Uncle Jim go on vacations (and they go on lots of vacations!). She never forgets a birthday or anniversary!

Aunt Gail is a retired nurse - it's so nice having such a friendly, loving nurse in the family :)

She's taught me so much about serving others - she is always helping out at her church, has sung in her church choir for over 30 years, and is now helping my 90 year old Grandma while she is recovering from a broken elbow!

Have a fabulous birthday, Aunt Gail - WE LOVE YOU!

This is a picture of us when she visited last year

Cheers to you, Aunt Gail!
Lynn, Aunt Gail and I........we love you!
Great Aunt Gail and her Great Nephews!

CINNABUNS!

The boys had early release from school today and wanted a special snack when they got home! I found a kit that I had purchased a while ago and we had fun making cinnabuns! They got to roll the dough, make special shapes and decorate them however they wanted - believe it or not, they were pretty tasty!!!!

Luke had his first soccer practice of the season tonight! This is an especially cool soccer team because Uncle Bryce is the coach and cousins David and Kyle are on the team!!! The boys were so excited to all be together! They named their team the "Ducks" and their first game is in 2 weeks!

Simple Pleasures......

Sam and I went to get the oil changed and headlight fixed in the van, and got a free car wash with it! They had a viewing window where we could sit and watch with complimentary popcorn, and a special ICEE mommy purchased! He had a BALL watching the cars get "baths"! When our van came through the wash, he was SO EXCITED! It was pretty cute :)

My life with 3 boys....

I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner tonight, and realized that I had been stepping over an obstacle course the whole time and didn't even flinch about it. I decided to take a picture of the kitchen floor so you could see what life is like on a daily basis in my house.....

MobiMark Videos

Check out the videos that Levi, Spencer and Rich made promoting their business, MobiMark. They have worked really hard, and are seeing the fruits of their labor! The videos bring a little bit of humor, while also telling people on "YouTube" who they are, and what they do.

You can learn more about the business on their website at www.mobimark.com.
Sit back and enjoy!

CREATIVE MINDS.........

Max came out of his room this afternoon and said, "I want to make a shirt that says AWESOME on it." So......we found a white shirt, some fabric markers, and made some shirts! Luke decided to make a shirt that says "I Rock" complete with sea shells and a heart. Check out the cool addition Max did to his shirt with the "M" in the word AWESOME :)

They are so excited to wear their shirts tomorrow to school!


Sam had fun with markers on paper (we ran out of white shirts!)
he still wanted to have his picture taken though!

A Special Surprise for Max and Luke!

I decided to surprise Max and Luke when I picked them up at school today, by having Annika, Kirsten and Lesia in the car! The boys were SO HAPPY! We had them over to play and have dinner with us then they went home at bed time. Fun day for everyone!

They all got into the "dress up" bin and had a BALL!

Sam had a BLAST being the "bear" and chasing everybody!

LUKE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!

What a fun day today! We celebrated Luke's 5th birthday at Arrowhead Park and Pool! We had pizza, presents and cupcakes at the park; then we headed over to the pool for some swimming FUN! It is so awesome to have so many cousins and special friends to celebrate with.....

The birthday boy with all his awesome guests!

Silly face picture...

Yeah! Just what he asked for......a Lego set! Thank you, Cornwell family!
Grandma and Papa gave Luke a cool ball, and some very handsome clothes!!!

"Look.....a hanger!!!"

Luke will look so handsome in all his new clothes from Papa and Grandma!

The Rasmusssen girls made some beautiful oranments, and gave him a cool "Phlat Ball"

The Bragelamans gave him a Mickey Mouse camp chair! He immediately got into it and said, "This is my BORING chair!!!" (he means he will sit in it when he's relaxing!)
He wanted to remain in his "boring chair" and open his last gift from the Verdugos - K'NEX!
