Christmas came early

Victory, Port, and Penis the horse (personally named by Alison)

Since we were going to Vancouver on Christmas Day, Santa came two days early so the kids could enjoy their toys for 2 days. Brody and I were coming off the stomach flu so it was nice to be stuck inside and play toys for a while:) 

Our Spring Project: the deck

The deck is now in week 2 going on week three. The end is in sight, I can feel it!!! All we need now is a ton of furniture to fill this giant monstrosity, not that I'm complaining:) thank god for papas and friends that are willing to help!

Memorial Day Fun 2014

Another Memorial Day is almost in the books and we have kicked off summer in the best way!! Friday night we enjoyed a cookout at the beach park, then the next day we finally finished our deck!!! Brody enjoyed a fun sleep over with his best bud, and Jon took them fishing in the morning:) we finished up Sunday with the annual Zierhoffer beach cook out. The kids of course played all day at the beach with our neighbors while we enjoyed ourselves. The weather was perfect and I hope this is a glimpse of what the summer has in store. The best part is we still have one more day!!!

Our Latest ER Trip

Brody and Alison were playing hide and seek, when Brody ran into a door latch while covering his eyes (he learned an important life lesson I'm sure). Of course he cut open his eyebrow...for the third time. So off to the ER we went. I was still gun shy from the last eyebrow incident when they had to sedate him to fix it but went in with a positive outlook!! After topical annesthetic, he let the doctor pop in 10 stitches without a flinch! So now he has a huge gash above his eye, no pool for 48 hours, and an orange Gatorade mustache from drinking 3 of them at the hospital. Could be worse!!!
