Legos

I've always been a fan of legos. So is my son, Devyn. Like all boys, loves building towers and then smashing them. Last christmas, Chris spent like 5 million hours assembling this little lego spaceship that I got for Devyn. Chris, never a good direction follower, nearly had a meltdown while building it. Needless to say, Devyn destroyed it in only a few minutes.
Which is why this is so amazing. I can't imagine the time it took to do this. Oh god is it funny too! Look they even include the violent parts in all the gory details.

Awesome!

Can you tell they are brothers?

Rowan is looking more and more like his brother.
I took a dozen photos before I got this one, with both of them smiling.
Devyn is smiling a real smile too, which is hard because
everytime he sees a camera he starts saying 'cheese' over and over.

Lookin around the web...

This is funny. I love that website! Whenever I need a laugh I go there. Also another great site is this.




Did I ever mention that I love the teevee show lost? Not since the x-files or Twin peaks has a network show been so captivating. Everytime I get a theory going on what the hell is going on, it gets blown away by the next episode. I think they're in some sort of psychological experiment that just happens to be on an island with paranormal activities. I'll probably change my mind, but that's what I think now.

Boys are good. Rowan's eczima is looking better. Devyn bit Chris in the ass and Chris let out this cry that sounded a bit girly. Chris understandably got mad, and Devyn cried. He wont do that again!

Playin' at da pahk wit da shorties

I don't know why Devyn looks so sad, he was having such a great time!
Maybe he wants me to put down the camera and push him already. Pretty please?

Weeeee!

D-Dawg

I can't wait till summer, Devyn's got a major case of cabin fever.

Devyn makes like a blue burrito. Mmmmm toasty.

Some Devynisms:
"I am all fuzzy" = What happens to your skin if you soak in a bath.
Oc-O-Paas = Octopus
CheeBee = TV
"the baby hit me! He is a bad baby! That is not nice." = The baby touched me

My pirate name is:

Red Mary Rackham

Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

I took the Nerd/Geek/Dork test!

Modern, Cool Nerd

56 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 26% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.


A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.


A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.


You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of:

Modern, Cool Nerd
.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

Poo flingers are not always monkeys

When I was expecting my first child, a friend once told me that the hardest thing about being a parent was trying not to laugh when your not supposed to. One of the best parental piece of advice I have ever heard. I put that advice in action the other day when my older boy Devyn got into trouble at school. Devyn's teacher, Ms. Nicole, told Chris that Devyn had gone the bathroom and not wiped properly after a bowel movement. Instead of asking for help, he just pulled up his pants and went about his day. When the inevitable discomfort and itching started, he did what every normal person would do.
He reached into his pants, grabbed hold of some poo, and threw it at his classmates.
Needless to say, people were mad. So as Chris was telling me this, I tried to look as angry as possible, but I was laughing on the inside. Devyn received as punishment no TV for a whole day, which is the worst thing ever for a 4 year old. He cried for a while, but as Chris says, "he'll remember the consequences if he flings poo again". Parents must maintain a united front!

NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!

What is this? Nerds! Chris, Mike & Scott all caught in nerd action. Some sort of castle building/jenga-like game that they seem to be very engossed in. Who will win? Time will tell. (probably mike, he plays to win)

Guess who this is?
