June FUN
June 5,2008
At the beginning of June Eric found out that his favorite baseball team the Chicago Cubs were playing the L.A. Dodgers in L.A. on his birthday so he called me up and asked to go and even offered to take the girls. An offer I almost couldn't refuse. But with gas prices and such I really didn't think it would be possible. Then he called me again and said, "Well why don't we take Robert (who has been dying to go to Disneyland) and you can take him and the kids to Disneyland and I'll go to the game." So after discussing it with Robert, he offered to help pay for things, we decided that we would go...for the day.
I thought it wounldn't be too fun with only having one DAY at Disneyland...really not enough time. But since Robert had to rent a electric cart we were able to go to most of the exits for the rides and therefore miss the lines. Really awesome if you have small kids with you! Eric took Lance to the beach for the early afternoon (we left LV that morning and got there around 11:30), since the game didn't start til evening. So we had a blast with the older kids. Then Eric dropped off Lance in the early evening and took Mackenzie (who was getting tired of walking) to the ballgame. We enjoyed the rest of the time at Mouseland then had to wait a couple of hours outside the park for Eric to arrive. We spent a short night at Robert's uncle's house nearby then headed for home the next morning...Eric had to work that afternoon.
I'm including a few smileboxes of our adventures for your viewing pleasure.

Crazy Summer!
Ok...ok...
I've had a few of y'all mention that I haven't updated my blog in awhile. Sorry I've just been busy...or I could blame it on forgettfulness due to pregnancy. Either excuse is quite valid I asure you. I will try to do better. Maybe once school starts at the end of this month and I "get rid" of 3 of my kids for the day I'll have more time to devote to blogging. Well, any excuse I can find to delay housework is fine by me!
I will most likely post some things from this summer, sorry they're so late.

Cameras are a funny thing
2 weeks ago...we didn't have any cameras working. Cindy sent our digital camera off to be fixed under warranty. We weren't sure if they were going to fix them or not, so Cindy's friend Robert bought us a new camera. Well...2 days ago...the digital camera came back. It was fixed and refurbished to new specs. So...now we have 2 digital cameras.
The second camera issue was our video camera. There was something wrong with the lens. We were told that it would cost more to fix it than to get a new one. Well, we couldn't afford a new one...so I looked on Ebay and found our model for sale. It said the pull out screen jumped up and down. Our current video camera didn't have that problem. So we got it on Ebay for a steal and when I looked at the possibility of switching the pull out screen on the old one to the new one the old one started working again. I took some video just to make sure and it works great. I took the new one we just bought on Ebay and tried to make the pull out screen jump as it stated in the bid, and I couldn't make it do it. It also works fine. I tightened the screws down on both and we now have 2 good video cameras.
Eureka!!

Cub Fiesta Fun Cub Scout Day Camp
Brendan had the opportunity to go to Cub Scout Day Camp this last week and had a blast!There were many things to do and learn. Among them, he was able to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow...and he even hit the target!
He also learned how to throw a lasso.
I hope is aim is pretty good or he might end up catching his brother!
Never fear...even though this steer "got away", Lance was safe too.
Brendan loved every minute of Day Camp and can't wait until next year where hopefully he'll have better luck in the Egg Drop competition.
Thank goodness he likes scrambled eggs!
A new Camera
We posted back a few weeks ago that both of our cameras were broken. I am not saying it was kids...but it was ironic that both have the same issues with them (the lens). We have a new camera now and will be blogging again soon.
