Hi to everyone who is reading this. I thought that I would give this a try. Everyone seems to be wondering how things are with us, so instead of sending out one mass e-mail or many seperate ones, I thought this would be a lot easier. I will try to post once a week, but no promises.

So here is what we have been up to... Dylan and I attended a Doodle bops show (from the Disney channel). Mike and Kristian went to Mr. Biggs family fun center instead, I can't imagine why? Dylan absolutely loved it. It was like a rock concert for preschoolers. He had so much fun. He wanted to go up on stage with them. It was rather difficult trying to explain why he couldn't go though.

Last week was Mike's 33rd birthday. We had a group of friends come out for dinner and cake on Saturday night. I was trying to keep it from him, but apparently he is

way too smart for me to do that. He said he knew all along. Whatever! I had bought a Cars themed cake, which Dylan thought was for him. He kept saying all day Saturday that everyone was going to come over and sing "Happy Birthday to Dylan". At the time, because Mike was either in the room or where he could hear, I couldn't explain to him that it was for his daddy. Dylan hasn't learned the art of keeping a secret yet!

Kristian was invited to attend Space Camp this summer. As long as he keeps his grades above a C and doesn't get sent to the office he will be eligible to go. He is very excited about it. It is located in Kansas of all places. The plan now is for all of us to go since I am just not ready to send him that far away without a family member or someone I know really well. He seems fine with it. Of course he hasn't hit that stage yet where it isn't "cool" for your parents to tag along.

We finally decided not to do baseball this summer. We like going to the games and watching Kristian play, but it takes up the whole summer and since we have done it for the past 4 summers, we need a break. There are so many things that we want to be able to do this summer and not have to worry about missing practices or games.

Max is doing great. We have had him for a month now. He seems to be potty trained, although every once in a while he gets tired of waiting by the door for someone to let him out and well you know the rest of the story. He is definitely Mike's dog! Not that the rest of us don't love him, he is just attached to him. Max fits into our family so well and we are glad we got him.

Well I guess that is it from here. Again, I hope to do this once a week. I hope that you will all remember and come back to take a look. Have a great week and until next time....
