For those of you who know Anthony and Sandra, here is a video clip and a printed article on the dog attack on Christian.

For those of you who don't know Anthony and Sandra, let me explain. Anthony was the music and youth director at our church for seven years. They are also really good friends of ours. Their son was attacked by a bull mastiff the other day.

My Dad & Our Kids

Addison Brooke.....She's Finally Here

Daddy picked out her going home outfit.

A lot of little helpers.

wide awake

Look at this house deal I came across on craigslist.

Nothing much to speak of has been going on. Both Zach and Brittany have been sick, and I'm trying to get my house in some semblance of order before the baby comes.
Zach started flag football yesterday. I'll put some pictures up when I end up taking some.

The Elephant

Two year old Sierra picked this up from Zach and Brittany's schooling so far this year. I'll put the words up here so you can understand what she's saying.

The elephant walks like this and like that.
He's very tall and he's very fat.
He has no fingers, but he does have toes.
And, goodness gracious, what a nose!

True Camoflauge

I saw this moth this morning. I think he has the original camo. What do you think?

It Runs in the Family

Many times I see something that I like, and I hear from Spencer, "You can make that." He starts explaining how to do it............ "All you have to do is........" I used to just roll my eyes, and sometimes I still do. However, many in his immediate family think the same way. There have been times that they go ahead and make whatever it is that's "so easy" to make. Two things I can think of are a fold out buffet bar found in the Penny's catalog and a merry-go-round for our kids.

Today, I was reading the paper and a picture of a cute metal figure caught my eye. As I started reading farther along, I realized that the article was about one of Spencer's MANY relatives. What made me laugh was how he got into his crafty business. His wife saw a figure she wanted for her yard and of course, Spencer's relative didn't want to pay that much for it and said, "I can make that." Now he makes these really neat things and sells them for a price that I'm pretty sure is close to the same price he didn't want to pay for the yard figure in the first place. :)

Extreme Sour Apple Warheads

Spencer brought home some Sour Apple Warheads tonight to give to the kids and thought it would be funny to video tape them. I think Sierra and Brittany are the funniest. The music in the background is from a video the kids had cranked up in another room.

For those of you who have dial-up, I put up some pictures for you to look at.

Labor Day at Pullen Park

We took the kids to a nice park in Raleigh today. It has plenty of stuff for the kids to do, and they had a great time. I think they're getting spoiled though. While we were driving back home, they asked, "What other fun stuff can we do?" Like they hadn't spent three hours doing fun stuff!

Everyone on the peddle boats -even though you can't see Sierra sitting by her daddy.

Zach on the train

Sierra on the Merry-Go-Round

Brittany coming out from hiding from Dad

All tired out

Rose Garden

We took a spur of the moment trip to our local rose garden the other day, and the kids absolutely loved it. Spencer took a lot of pictures. These are a few.
