Saturday the 9th of August.


We have decided to copy a friend's blog idea (thanks Rebecca) and to keep our family & friends updated we will post 11 moments that made the past week memorable.
This week:
1. Howie and Ella rode 8 Miles on their bikes on Sunday! Yes, Miles! We took them to the bike trail and although we stopped in Rockford for ice cream and to play at the park they made the whole 8 mile round trip.
2. Amy learned the hard lesson once again...Muck likes flip flops more then anything else and does not return them. (silly me)
3. Amy, Howie and Ella enjoyed lunch with Aunt Cindy. It's always a nice treat to hang out with one of our favorite Aunts!
4. Howie Lost his second front tooth. Ella always seems to be able to help him get those loose teeth out with a boot to the mouth. He even realized he can talk normal if he really tries.
5. Jim found out he broke his right foot trying to favor and heal his left broken leg.
6. Jim will get permenant handicapped parking for the licese plates. The foot dr signed a form for him since he has frequent injuries.
7. The garden that is in pots in the front yard is finally starting to produce tomatoes and green peppers.
8. Howie and Ella met a new friend who will ride the bus with them this year. Amy will even get paid to put her on and get her off the bus.
9. The house is Clean!! yes, we are excited that the house is really clean. even the kids are doing their part to keep their rooms spotless.
10. This morning Jim went to cheer on his friend (spars) he convinced to do the triathlon.
11. As Saturday night is almost over the parents are enjoying the quiet house and slightly Thankful that the kids are with Grandma Vicky and Grandpa Roy.

Over all we have had a great week. We hope you all have too!!
