The Circus

The four boys with their wigs and noses

The Silly Clowns

William the Clown

Matthew the Clown

The Sac Credit Union gave out clown wigs, clown noses and $3 off coupons for the Circus, so we took advantage of it and went to the Circus last night. William sat on the edge of his seat most of the time with his wig on enjoying the show while Bradley and Kyle were laughing a lot. All four boys had a great time watching the magic show, the clowns, the Elephants (Williams favorite), the guy shot of a canon (Bradley & Kyle's favorite), the trapeze, and best of all Cotton Candy.

Congratulations to our MBA Graduate

Joe has worked really hard and graduated with his MBA in Finance this month. He started taking one class at a time, and 4 years later he is done. I am so proud of him, and how hard he worked. It was hard with kids, and each time we had another, it got that much harder. Joe wasn't really interested in walking in graduation, but after a very small discussion he agreed that it was important for the the boys to see him walk and celebrate his graduation. We hope that our boys will have an appreciation for education and the importance it is for them to get as much education as they can. Joe is really looking forward to not having homework, (classes don't officially end for another 2 weeks) but has already talked about getting his CFA, a Series 7 License, who knows what else. For now we agree, a short break would be good. I am so proud of how hard Joe works, and his insight to getting a higher education so that I can be where we think I should be, at home with our kids. Way to go Joe!

Here are a few pictures from graduation.

Kyle taking pictures during the graduation. I wish I could have seen all the pictures he was taking and how things looked from his point of view, but when I check his camera they were all deleted. He would take a picture and say, "That was really a good one!" or "Wow great shot!" After the ceremony we caught him taking random pictures of people who were poised for other cameras.

If you listen you can hear them says Joe's name!

Tim Hula Hooping

Tim & Kyle showing off Tim's High Score

Tim might hula hoop funny, but he was having the last laugh since he holds the high score record. He had no idea I was filming him, so listen carefully at the end of the video clip.

Smell No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

click on picture to view bruises and cuts

Bradley, Kyle and William last week either bruised and/or cut their faces. Only Matthew survived the week without any facial injuries. No Pat we did not beat our boys. Bradley went decided to go sledding on the remaining snow that we had next to the driveway. When he went down the hill and onto the driveway, which did not have any snow, his face met the pavement hence the nice road burn on the nose. Kyle being Kyle fell down the stairs. William was playing in his room and bonked his chin on something giving him a nice bruise, which was done over a week ago.

Guess Who's Birthday it is?

This person has red hair and blue eyes.
He is one of five males in our household.
He walked in graduation last weekend for his MBA (pictures will be coming).
He says he is 5'10 but we have agreed 5'9 is probably closer.
He grew up in Washington, the state, not the capital.
He has four boys that absolutely look up to him and admire everything he does.
His favorite activities include fishing, playing sports, playing with his boys and taking naps.
Every year he request a carrot cake made from scratch for his birthday.
He is terrific Dad, does diapers, baths, feedings, you name it he's probably done it.
Any guesses?

It's My Wonderful Husband Joe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!!
