Sharkie Visits!

Tanner's class won the Sharkie reading contest (most pages read), so they received a visit from Sharkie himself!

Tanner presented Sharkie with a Valentine from the class!

Sharkie love! Tanner said, "First he bite me in the head, then he gave me a hug!" HAHAHA!!! I love it! The valentine is even on his website (SJ Sharkie)! Of course, I didn't even know about all this until I saw the pictures on the class website!

I can't believe Tanner got to interact so much with Sharkie! Especially since I didn't even know the class was still doing the contest (and we hadn't turned in any pages read), but we DO read to him every night! hah!

Solvang Century Ride

Last weekend, Russell went on the Solvang Century Ride with his former boss & friends. They rode from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm! I can't imagine being on a bike for that long!

Pajama Day!

Last Friday was Pajama Day at Cody & Tanner's school!

It was also Dr. Seuss's birthday! I went to Tanner's class and made green eggs and ham with his class! So fun!!!

Close Encounter

I Heart Pancakes!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Pink heart pancakes with syrup and tiny heart sprinkles! I kept thinking the pancakes should have a strawberry flavor to them because of the color, but it was just a few drops of red food coloring...

Dear Cody,
Please don't keep red crayons in your pocket for me to discover AFTER they melt/explode in the dryer. Daddy doesn't like the tie dye look on his clothes...

Note to self: check the boys' pockets for small crayons from Red Robin...

The Candy Man Strikes Again!

Cody and Tanner got new beds! We needed to move Tanner's bed to the other side of the room and slide their dresser over, so Cody could open the drawer on the bottom of his bed...here's what Russell found behind the dresser (besides dust and hair!)
...CANDY WRAPPERS!!!

Of course, they are only on Tanner's side! I have never caught him with candy, so I am hoping he hasn't been sneaking it after we put him to bed!
