4th of July!

Here's a slideshow from our fourth of July!

Seattle Trip / Prochaska's Visit

On the Thursday before Father's day/ Darrell's birthday weekend Daniel, Darrell's brother, got assigned to work in Eugene, OR. He decided to drive out with Grandma RJ and the kids and make a weekend out of it. We were planning a weekend trip to Seattle so we took the whole gang along, which worked out perfectly because on Saturday we were able to escape on an adult night out while Grandma RJ took the kids swimming in the hotel pool.

Here's a slideshow of our visit:

Driving Range

Friday night we took the boys out to the driving range. Darrell needed to practice for tournament that he had on Saturday and I thought it would be fun to take the babes. It turned out to be a little more stressful than fun so we made our way to the deserted put-put golf area to minimize the chance of run-ins with any club heads!

This would have never happened if Dad was home!

Tonight after I unloaded the dryer, I went to put the towels on the couch and returned to this:

Of course I grabbed my phone are started taking some shots.

Realizing that this was too hilarious to have low quality documentation, I went to get the real camera.

Of course this would have never happened if Dad was home because he would have been too worried about the dryer door breaking. Me on the other hand, figured if they broke the dryer I might get a break from laundry!

Don't worry the dryer is fine. And so are the babes.

Chopsticks

In honor of Darrell's trip to Asia we decided to go out for Sushi. There is a great place here in Hillsboro, Syun Izakaya, seems a little bit of a contradiction (good food in Hillsboro), I know. Anyway, it turns out that the chopsticks served as fine entertainment for the boys.

Here is a video:

Tisk, Tisk...

That's me wagging my finger at ME! If we're not friends on facebook then you have been out of the loop haven't you? Things have been BUSY around here but you deserve to at least see some recent pics don't you? Excuse my obvious laziness, I'm only posting facebook picture links.
Darrell left for China a week and a half ago for a three week trip! Here are pics of the boys saying goodbye as well as one of the Skype calls they had.
