Ben & Jerry's Trip

The boys relaxing after a hard day at the ice cream factory ...  

ME Trip for Lynette's Wedding

Letterboxing hike with the family Bryce playing in the beer bucket at the reception Picnic with Sade & Madelyn (lynette's grandchildren) Daddy & Bryce having fun at the reception  

Beach fun!

Ian & Spencer ... akaThe Beach Boys, or so they think! They entertained us with concerts on the beach all day long! Bart enjoying his comfy chair! Bryce hard at work! 

Hot Water!

We have hot water again! Yeah!!! And the boys tub, which was taking 25 minutes to fill a few inches, was ready to go in about 2 minutes tonight! The dishwasher is even running! The boys and I made this fire truck/bus/music van out of the hot water tank box as we spent the day in the basement watching the workers. My day was made when one worker, who also has a 2 and 5 year old at home, said to Spencer, "I can't believe you have such a cool mom to sit there and make that with you!" Horray for summer vacation!! 

Basement Fun!

We're having a new hot water tank installed later this week, which means we need to make room for it! So we got a lot of work done down in the basement today ... several more boxes finally unpacked and lots of reorganization. Spencer had this elaborate drum stage set up: 3 overturned containers, toy box cover, and step stool were all different kinds of drums, plus the top of stepstool was the symbol, paintsticks for drumsticks ... Bryce, on the other hand, just kicked back and relaxed ...  

Music Boy

Spencer created this himself ... he took his microphone out of the stand and made it into a harmonica stand so he could play both instruments together! 

Happy Father's Day!

We love you, Daddy! 

More Father's Day pictures

our next home ... 

Happy Father's Day!

A perfect Father's Day! Shawn had the great idea of taking all the Father's (and people who help them be great fathers!) on a boat cruise around Portsmouth Harbor. It was about 90 degrees ... just right for a nice ocean breeze! The fathers ... next time Maurice will definitely join us on the ride! Bryce enjoying a treat ... The perfect end of the day treat ...  

Sprycer shots

Spencer reading to Bryce last night ... then the only problem was that Bryce desperately wanted to sleep with Spencer, and Spencer wanted his space ... New matching pjs! Still love that smile from Bryce! 

Before & After

Another room finally updated! Of course I had to leave the mess in the first picture like they do on the transformation shows to really make it look good!  

Grier playing with the boys!

Helene got these rockets for Grier as an earlyFather's Day present ... sounds like he had just as much fun teaching the boys about rockets as they did seeing the rockets fly into the air! 

Boys, Boys, Boys

An overdue visit with the Glancy's ... Bart, Spencer, Bryce & Ian Spencer & Ian went to "rescue my cat from a tree", and came back with this worm ... of course just as we are getting Spencer over his phobia of bugs, he sticks this in my face and I jumped and screamed! The rescuers! What a face!

Anyone care to beat this? 

Letter Boxing with Grammy

Here's a few shots that Grammy took when they were out hiking last week. Grammy has gotten Spencer into letter boxing ... there are boxes everywhere (in the world) with stamps in them ... you stamp the book you find on the trail with your own stamp, then use the trail's stamp to mark your own book. I'm not sure who's enjoying it more ... Grammy or Spencer!
