Softball season comes to an end

Category: larsen – luis – 3:25 pm

With the ending of the season comes the trophy ceremony. Don’t be fooled by the smiling boy in the second picture though, tears were shed earlier that day. Seems like someone had the audacity of telling Larsen (our little angel) not to move away so that they could take a picture with him in it. I mean…really, how much meaner can anyone be. Oh the humanity!

Aliens pay us a visit

By the looks of it either aliens came to visit while we were sleeping, or there used to be a large round pool in our backyard at some point in time. Hmmmmm…can you say “hydromulch“?

The pool that was

Img 4104I love it when a plan comes together! OK so maybe it wasn’t a “plan” per-se, but I knew that monstrosity did not belong in our backyard.

First thing this morning, as I was letting the dogs out, I noticed that some chairs, pots, rocks, shoes, and dirt in places they weren’t just the night before. It was just as if a tidal…hey, wait a second! Where did the pool go?!

Remember when I said something about “leveled surface” on my first pool post? Well, although the pool’s final destination was as flat as our backyard gets, it still wasn’t perfectly leveled. Seems like the force of the water constantly being pushed to one side finally made a tear in it and all 2,500 gallons of water came rushing out all at once. I’m just sorry I wasn’t there to see it, film it and enjoy the show.

Taekwondo head band

Category: larsen – luis – 6:44 pm

Today Larsen tested for his Taekwondo head band and tiny-tiger patch. Even grandpa came to witness the event!

Larsen is doing great with Taekwondo and we can only hope his interest doesn’t dwindle down. Thus far he has not shown this level of interest for anything else – well, at least as compared to the only other 2 activities we have been involved with: softball and soccer. We still haven’t tried golf or football, so we will see how those go when we get around to trying them.

Have you heard of the troll that lives under the bridge?

How about the boy who lives in the laundry basket? Me neither! So imagine my surprise when I found one right here in our very own home. Frightening, isn’t it?

Fun with Photo Booth

Category: family, larsen – luis – 9:18 pm

One of the things Larsen likes to do when I am on my computer is sit on my lap and watch what I am doing. Since he likes to video chat with his abuela so much I decided to fire up Photo Booth and have some fun while he sitting there on my lap. Little did I know that this would become such a hit with Larsen, he went completely bonkers over it! As you can tell by these pictures we had a good time with it.
