Phineas & Ferb

We thought it might be nice to get some family time before daddy left to go hunting. So we decided to go see, "Phineas & Ferb".

Everyone was very excited. Poor Brody got stuck sitting next to me so it's hard to see him in the pictures.


The show was about the very last day for summer and Phineas & Ferb's efforts to create an idea mix up machine so that they could create as many things as possible at the end of the summer.


The kids were so excited about everything in the show. All of their favorite songs managed to fit into the show. However, my favorite song, "You snuck your way right into my heart" (by Love Handel), did not make the cut. It was a very upsetting day for me.



Of course, Perry the Platypus stole the show. He even had a light saber. Which, of course, made him even cooler than usual.

And he was there with his nemesis, Dr. D. It was great comedic relief.

Visiting with Grandma Mary & Papa Steve-A Rare Treat

When Mary & Steve moved to Florida seven years ago, we never dreamed that we would see so little of them. However, life starts spinning out of control and it's very hard to catch back up.

That's why we were so excited this fall when we ended up with a visit from them. They had a rental car but we couldn't wait to see them so we went to the airport to see them.



Brownie was extremely excited to meet her Grandma for the very first time.


Mary & Steve are very good at enjoying the sunshine (being transplants from Florida & all), so they took some time to relax and enjoy our swing. Brownie likes my porch swing the best.


Mary & Steve ended up coming out to see us three or four times. We were able to go to the rib cook off together and we had lots of time during the week.


But all too soon it was Sunday and we were getting ready to say goodbye. Because Mary & Steve have so many people that they are close to in the area, we had some of them over to visit. we got to see Steve's son, JJ and his family (another rare treat!) and we had an amazing visit!!



But we had to let them go, so they could go meet up with our beloved Uncle Tom.

The boys get to do one crazy picture for every nice picture that they sit still for.....this was the silly.....
