This is what stupid looks like

So, this evening, instead of finishing up our yardwork or relaxing or going out for dinner...we just returned from the mini-ER and I have just finished ordering some pizzas online and am now posting some pics so our parents can see what the fuss was about today.

In man vs boat, boat wins. Doesn't matter how strong you think you are, a 3,500 lb boat is still stronger...especially when it is rolling down a hill! Luckily, nothing is broken and after a few days of limping, he should be good as new! I have lots of great non-gross pics from the last few weeks that I will post soon...gotta go feed the patient his pizza now though!

Pics not for the faint of heart!

Here is a view looking directly at the back of Rob's calf. Not too bad, right?


And, here is a view from the side...ick!

The Maiden Voyage of the USS Koca!

We have a new addition to the family. The weekend after we got it, we told Cassie that we had a family suprise. We took her to the garage, opened the door and she screamed "You got me my very own boat!". She has since learned to share with 'Dad' and 'Ash' (she is on a one-syllable trend), but, she still wants to do all of the driving by herself.




We had our second voyage this weekend. We tried out the new tube. We knew it would either go wonderfully and Cassie would love it or it would go horribly and scare her and it would be a while before we used it again. The little daredevil loved it! She sat in my lap while Daddy pulled us: "Weeeeee" (I would say there are no pics b/c Rob was busy driving but he did manage to get a cell phone video.) When we were done and back on the boat, she said "I want to do it by myself!". Instead, she spent an hour content just floating around. We had a blast!!

Latin Festival in our subdivision

Our subdivision has several festivals a year. Its a great time because its walking distance from home and all of the local vendors come out and there is lots of food and drink and some extra-special events. In April, Latin Fest was full of latin food, bounce houses and Sea Lions (very random, yes). Baby Nathan and Justin and Shelly joined us for the fun!

Cassie, Jack and the laser pointer

Omah came to visit...let's have a party!

Omah came for a nice long weekend visit and we learned how many cousins we have in Florida! Omah got to meet Baby Nathan for the first time, visit with several of her nephews and grandchildren and I think we broke a record for steak consumption in one sitting!

Cassie says "Daddy's # 1", but, she really means "Ashley's #1"

Cassie has been brainwashed by her daddy to tell everyone that "Daddy's #1". She gets a big smirk on her face, looks at me and says "Ashley's #2". I'm doing better than Grandpa. He is still hanging in at #5. But, she won't admit that I'm #1. Even though we know she knows it! :)

A day on the farm

Grandma and Grandpa have been visiting Green Meadows farm with Julia and Katie in Wisconsin for years. They came for a visit and we finally made it to the one in O-town. The weather was cool, but, we had a blast. Cassie got to play with baby lambs and goats, hold a baby chick and a baby duckling and run around the cages to chase turkeys and ducks. She got to ride a pony, milk a cow and watch a buffalo poop. But, the highlight was most certainly the chickens. She has been telling everyone that will listen that "I caught a chicken all by myself!". And, she did. She walked right up to the funky looking black chicken, scooped him up and carried him around for a while. The number of pictures (there were so many cute ones, I had to be selective) were outnumbered only by the number of videos!
