Happy Birthday, Dane. I love you! You are my favorite brother!
And now, in honor of your birthday, a bday acrostic:
Dangerous (that's a BMX-days reference)
Amazing Uncle (you always spend time with the kids and do amazing things--skatepark!)
Not an onion fan
Every time I'm with you, you make me laugh SO hard (you have the BEST humor)
INJURIES
For those of you keeping score at home:
1. One dog bite.
2. One tissue-damaged knee (thanks to BMX trick-riding).
3. One ruptured eardrum.
4. One braces-induced canker sore the size of Texas.
5. One dog with pinkeye.
* I'm not complain', I'm just sayin'!
Summertime
We are soooooooooooooo happy it's summer. Not sure we had a spring, but we'll take what we can get! Woo hoo!
Here are our three of our ideas for summertime fun (see injury list and tell me if we need our head's examined):
1. Get a trampoline (and let the kids earn half the money for it--awesome idea!).
2. Try Pringles new "summertime" flavors: DILL PICKLE and KETCHUP. Woo hoo!
3. Make Kindra's baked french toast. Now that's tasty!
