It's the new ice cream maker! We bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker
for Matthew's school presentation on ice cream, and he made the
ice cream himself! No better way to learn than by doing, right?
|
 |
And now for the pour ...
|
 |
And of course, the best part: eating the ice cream.

Rebecca and Fuzzy in the guest bedroom. It has a hideaway bed and we
use it as a computer room most of the time.
|
 |
Rebecca was mortified that this picture was taken with no makeup on.

David having his early birthday party. Since his birthday is during
the summer break, many of his friends aren't around. So like many
other parents in the school whose kids have summer birthdays, we
simply scheduled an early birthday in the last month of school so
that his friends would be available. Here's David, hamming it up
as usual. |
 |
It was a cooking party. The kids made their own cakes and pizzas,
and then ate them.
Can you tell that both of these birthday pictures were made with
a crappy disposal camera? We forgot our good camera so we had to
run to the convenience desk and buy a crappy disposable. How I
loathe those things, but they do come in handy on some occasions. |

David's little primary school end-of-year celebration. Here he's doing
a Mexican hat dance with his classmates. He's paired up with Hannah,
one of his classmates (she's wearing orange).
|
 |
And clap ...
|
 |
And hook arms ...
|
 |
And party!
|
 |
Here's David later on the same day, after rushing directly from school
to the soccer pitch in order to contribute to a 3-3 tie game.
|
 |
Run!
|
 |
Our annual zoo trip.
|
 |
David pretending to get eaten by a giant snake.
|
 |
Matthew and David riding a sabre-toothed tiger.
|
 |
David getting attacked by a giant spider. He still loves to ham it up.
|
 |
David trapped in the spider's web.
|
 |
I don't care what Stephen Colbert says; bears are cool.
|
 |
More soccer action.
|
 |
Rebecca walking Fuzzy as he marks his terrtory. He used to love his little
walks around the soccer pitch.
|
 |
Fuzzy again.
|
 |
In my totally non-biased opinion, Fuzzy was the cutest little dog ever.
|
 |
David playing soccer again.
|
 |
David after the last game of the season.
|
 |
David the Cub Scout! This is one of the rare pictures you'll ever see
of David not making a funny face.
|
 |
Matthew's birthday party. My brother Chris usually comes over for events
like this, and he's sitting on the couch in the background.
|
 |
Matthew, Rebecca, David, and Fuzzy at my in-laws' place.
|
 |
Hey everyone, look at me!
|
 |
He looks like he's ready to jump up onto that couch at any moment.
|
 |
Or, he could just go over to the kitchen and lie down.
|
 |
I believe this place is called "Colasanti's".
|
 |
David still loves animals.
|
 |
David liked this one. The baby getting a ride on Mommy's back.
|
 |
Now that is a fat bird.
|
 |
It's funny but David still likes to occasionally ride kiddie rides, just
for kicks.
|
 |
And Rebecca watches him the whole time.
|
 |
Air hockey! Nobody can say no to air hockey.
|
 |
Matthew and David attempting to pose for the camera, but of course, David
has a silly expression on his face, as usual.
|
 |
Everyone but me!
|
 |
Yes, I know how to work the timer mode on my camera. Unfortunately,
this shot caught Rebecca in mid-blink.
|
 |
What can I say?
