Gopher Smopher

Chadd caught a gopher in his trap.  Chadd thought it would be great fun to watch Chester tear into the dead gopher.  Chester was not interested at all.  This is how it went:

 

 

                                                      And I quote, "What the hell is that thing?"

                                                        "Hmmmm...I better get a closer look."

                                 "I'm not quite sure?  I don't think I recognize that smell.  Maybe..."

                                 "Let me smell one more time, maybe I just can't place it..."

                                        "Nope.  Nothing.  I have no idea what that thing is."

"I'm tired now.  I'm much more relaxed in the house on the couch, cuddling with mommy.  Not with some weird smelling gopher thingy."  THE END.

Spaghetti and Forts

Chadd taught Chris how to eat spaghetti.  Need I say more?

 

 We had to purchase a new washer and dryer and the boxes made a fun fort for the day for Christopher AND Chester!!!  Whose the king of this castle???

It's Official!

This is a picture of me being excited because I passed my motorcycle riding test!!!  Yay me!!!!

State Fair 2013

 We went to the state fair this year on a Friday afternoon and it was HOT!!!  We had a great time as always though.  Christopher really enjoyed the rides this year.

Weapons and Mustaches

 I walked into Christopher's room one day and saw this.  It looks pretty serious.  Some sort of attack is underway and the preparations have been made!  Take cover!!!

 This is Christopher's mustaches phase.  I had to be the mom that walked around the mall with the kid in the stroller with a fake mustache.  Imagine the comments.  People feel the need to react.  Guess I can't blame them.

 And then this happened....

 And he had to eat with the mustache, of course....

Oh the Life!

                    This gentle giant is spoiled!  Don't you wish sometimes that you could nap all day?!

 Chadd built a special ledge on our bedroom window so Chester could at his leisure lay on the window sill and watch the bugs fly by and soak up the sun.  Incidentally, he doesn't really use it!

Ducks and Dad

                          Here Christopher is sorting through the new ducks that Grandpa gave him.

                                                                 He likes the ducks!

 

We are hanging out at the VA about a month ago while dad got his treatment for the liver tumors.  Kudos to dad for a great attitude.  Kudos to mom for great support.  Christopher had fun hanging out in the room for a little while.  We are all so proud of dad for keeping us entertained and keeping a positive attitude even though it can't be fun what he is going through.  We love you and support you dad!
