2010 Picture Edit Update
I was serious that I am going to get through these pic's this week. I have made good progress. However, I have two folders with over 1600 pictures in them. Ughhhh, they are soccer and football pic's.
A crazy week
Last year we took the kids to see Cirque du Soleil not sure what to think. They loved it. So when we found out about Dralion, we purchased the tickets. We bought the tickets back in January and thought it would be fun to leave the day after school got out. What I did not know was that Megan's girl scout troop would be making it's end of the year trip that same week. It would also be Megan's last trip with girl scout's. She decided that this would be her last year.
So Wednesday we headed out to Portland for the show and then Thursday made a slow trip back home. Friday, Megan and I with her troop headed back up the same way for her trip. I will post about that later.
The show was great. This time they did the show at the Rose Garden instead of the Cirque du Soleil tent. We all agree that the tent is better. While we could see the show just fine, we were up higher then a lot of the acts. In the tent, you are sitting below the highest acts and much closer to the stage. In the tents there really isn't a bad seat. The kids agree, the show was great but Kooza was better.
We made the trip home slowly. Stopping at different places in Portland to shop and look around. Here we stopped at the fish hatchery. Below is Megan with her moose she bought at Ikea. Our list is long of stuff we want to buy there.
Anthony is dreaming in this picture. Of what you ask?
Of this guy at the end of his fishing pole.
I am sitting in the back seat of the car so that Anthony could drive home. At one point I said "hummmmm, why are we doing almost 80."
Anthony got home from wrestling camp last night. Since injuring his knee, he has had some dought as to whether he would be able to wrestle again. He has been dreaming of a wrestling scholarship since he was a freshmen. His knee injury could have cost him that because he wasn't able to compete at state last year. He really needed to be at state at least twice.
There is a guy at Jason's karate dojo who told Anthony last April "work out with me and we will get that knee better shape then it was before." Anthony gave it a try. Anthony has been working out almost every day all year round since he was 14. This kid has never been in this good of shape in all that time.
He has been practicing with the team getting ready for this camp for the last two weeks. He was nervous and his knee was sore, but he said that practice was going well. He came home from camp on top of the world. His team took the silver bracket, which is great. However, Anthony went to finals in the individual take down, losing only to one guy. This is his personal best. I can't wait until wrestling season starts.

What's its Name
I am working though huge amounts of pictures this week. And as God as my witness I will finish 2010 this week. One of the biggest problems is my pictures and editing software are all on my big computer. And that is the computer we all fight over.
As I was going through some pics from last summer I came across one that makes me laugh.
It's what's its name.
I promised that if "what's its name" let me take their picture, I would not post any of "what's its name" on my blog in their bathing suit.
Now I agree with "what's its name" that it would not be necessarily appropriate to post those pictures. But if you don't know who "what's its name" is would it be OK.
You be the judge.

Good Morning
and happy summer.
The kids are out today and we have 75 days until school starts again. Today I will have a senior, freshmen and a 5th grader. Where did my babies go?
My hand is healing nicely and I am feeling great. I thought that I might wait until August to have my other hand done. But things have gone so well, I might have it done much sooner. I just want to make sure I have plenty of time to heal before we go to South Dakota in August.
The kids are out of school this afternoon and we will begin a whirl wind of a week. We have been planing this week since January.
Anyway, I am back to typing for the time being and can now hold my camera again. Looking forward to posting my summer pictures and my summer stories.
