Random Stuff, including a trampoline

Here's Brighton showing off her fork using skills

Here's the result of said fork using skills. She still hasn't quite gotten the whole smooth transition to the mouth part down yet. I'd say she's about 50/50. 

Here's me about to rock these kid's world as I take a super jump and launch them 30ft into the air and off the trampoline. 

I thought this was a cute picture of Jace playing with the Pink Tower. 

So, Suzy keeps dressing Brighton in these skinny jeans. It's practically impossible to get anything under them. Since it was a cool day out, I just put the socks on over them. Suzy thought I needed to take a picture of this creative, trend setting genius Idea of mine. 

Here's this weird statue outside of the movie theater. All the kids wanted pictures with him (Faith had her one on one with Suzy that day as well and got Face Painted (on purpose) at the watershed (where they teach about water)).  We went to the movie with Uncle Marshall who is soon moving to Az. I got to see at least 1/3rd of the newest Muppet movie. The other 2/3rds I spent with Brighton. Outside the theater. Her quietness skills have yet to kick in. 


I think Jace has the right idea.

It starts much too early


This is Faith. On a longboard, wearing the traditional skater garb of a hoodie (and fuzzy pants). 


She loves any kind of wheeled instrument of destruction. She obviously doesn't get this from me since I barely tolerate a bicycle, much less any of these other much more dangerous death traps of teenage angst and rebellion. 

Here she is taking a melancholy? selfie. I think she is already in that moody teenage girl phase. 

Dinosaurs!

This weekend was the "Jurassic Quest" Exhibit at the Expo-Idaho center.  I took Jace here for a our one-on-one, and it was a rocking good time.  Below are some pictures. 

They had a bunch of these cool robot dinosaurs that moved, and scarred poor Jace half to death upon our arrival.  He would not leave my side for this whole section (The first time through). On the way out, after having ridden a dinosaur, he was much more fascinated. especially by the dinosaur that had been attacked and was bleeding (no pictures since I need to keep this blog mostly G-rated). 

 Pic one of Jace's Wild Dinosaur Ride!




This was another robotic Dino



If you look closely, you can see Jace's little head sticking up inside the mouth.
They had this whole bouncy house dino thing going on, Jace spent most of the time in this whole section (they had probably 15 different Bouncy Houses, all dino themed).

Grown Up Stories are Boring

We were eating dinner, Jace was done and Marshall was over as well. He was "writing" on a magnetic pad (that you can draw on). He all of a sudden informed us that he was writing a boring story.  When we questioned further, we learned that boring = grown up.

He let us know that he would be writing a "fun" (Fun = kid" story next.
