It's Thomas!!!

Sam, Becky and I went to the Railroad Museum in Green Bay to see Thomas the Tank Engine. Sam was beside himself when Thomas rolled into the station. We got to ride on train cars that Thomas pulled around the museum and their were all kinds of fun activities for Sam to do and lots of big outside toys to play on. We all had lots of fun.

Riding on Thomas!

Special Delivery!

Sam had a visit from a very special UPS driver earlier this month.

Mexico Vacation/Wedding

Val and Matt got married last week in Mexico. Becky and I tagged along and got a little relaxation out of the whole trip. We had lots of fun and their was plenty to do...snorkeling, scuba, pool activities every day, Spanish lessons, pool volleyball, archery, etc. But we stayed pool side all week and most everyone laid in the sun and swam in the pool. Good food, lots of drinks, a little diarrhea and no Swine (H1N1) Flu. Unfortunately they let us back into the country.

The newlyweds!

Senior Frogs in Playa del Carmen
Yes, we left the beach chairs at least once during the trip.

The view from our lounge chairs.
Even better with a cold beverage in hand.

Post dinner, just hanging out near the lobby bar/ lounge.

Easter 2009

This year we took the little ones out for an Easter Egg hunt at Val & Matt's house. Sam and Ellen totally enjoyed running around their huge back yard looking for plastic eggs...even if most of them were empty...shh...don't tell them. The day before Easter Sam helped Becky dye some Easter Eggs.

I'm A Big Kid Now!

Sam has graduated to his big boy bed and UNDERWEAR!!!

NO MORE DIAPERS!

Our second attempt (more like Becky's second attempt) at potty training over spring break was much more successful than our first. He's got #1 down great. He's a little less secure with #2, but is reluctant to go on the potty once he gets there. We are very proud of him and as you can see below, he is pretty proud of himself as well.
