Aj's Birthday Present

So this is a little late, but here are some birthday pics from AJ's 10th. We got him a Fender Squire electric guitar... and boy was he surprised. Actually I think my dad was more excited than anybody!! They bought him the amp, and he was ready to rock!! He has been taking lessons for only three weeks and is catching on really well. Here is some pics and video of him playing!! Enjoy!

Here is video of him playing the begining of that Sweater song by Weezer, and Smoke on the Water... pretty good for only a couple of lessons!

Happy 10th AJ

Happy birthday to our AJ-- we love ya!

Back to School 2009

It's back to school time again:) :)
Here are all the boys ready to head out to school.

AJ is in 5th grade now and this is his teacher Mr. King. This is the first male teacher he has had and we are really impressed already!

Alex is in 2nd grade now and this is his teacher Mrs. Chappel. She is super nice and excited to have Alex in her class.

This is Alex's best friend and he was only excited for school when he remembered that he would get to see him everyday:)

And this is our traditional back to school night out for dinner. We like to try new places and this was 3 Tomatos and a Mozzerella-- pretty good italian/tuscan bistro.

Good luck boys and I know you will have a great year!

A camping we will go.....

This year for the end of our summer break we were invited to go camping with some of our very best family friends!! The last time we camped together Alex was in a walker! We had a great time and it was a great end to a crazy summer! Thanks guys!
