Father's Day Weekend

Happy Father's Day to all! We happen to a have one of the best dads every! So we got him the best gift ever(according to us). A few weeks ago we were watching a show with Dad on how different things are made. It showed how they make Fisher Space Pens that write in space, underwater, and upside down. VERY COOL! We knew Dad and Grandpa needed one. Mom helped us go online to make our order. We all managed not to tell Dad. He was surprised we didn't spill the beans. Both Dad and Grandpa like them. They do make great gifts and are reasonable priced.

We had a nice weekend which started with a bike ride, or chase if your mom and dad, around the neighborhood. Shermie did circles around the loop while Matthew insists that he should be allowed to do the same, as we tried to complete the first loop. Nicholas went fast then slow depending on if he thought he could bet Shermie before he went too far again. We assured Tuffer that there was nothing wrong with his bike, as he tried to stay up right and on it. Then Matthew again tried to leave with Shermie. After about the third or fourth time we headed for the side with the hill. Dad at the top, Mom at the bottom to keep them from flying right out on to the next street as they came zooming down. We really get a kick out of this because its tricky for them to keep up their nerve as they get going faster and faster which results sometime in a bail out. Helmet are great.

Saturday Nic helped Dad mow the lawn and only missed a spot or two. Then we went to one of the older boys' baseball games. Shermie's first hit that game was a double and he had two other hits later that mom missed because she was chasing Matt and Nic. He also help get three outs. Tuffer did good too. The team is made up of fairly young kids so the haven't won a game yet. A lot of them (one being the here fore mentioned) are still in daisy picking mode from t-ball but they have gotten a lot better. It is so fun to watch them play, they try hard.

Next we headed to Gramie and PopPop's with everyone there. This means pool party. Shermie is doing really well without a life jacket but I still keep a close eye on him because it makes me nervous. The other boys and the girls have suits with built in floaties and they get around pretty quick in them. The suits make them look like super heroes so its a big laugh.

Sunday we went to church and then had Grandma and Grandpa over for a BBQ. For desert Grandma made a Filthy Wilma which everybody loved. It was a nice evening. I think the next thing I will add to the blog is a recipe section.
