Stevie Wonder....

Buddy went to the eye doctor today, afterwards we kicked back with the cousins and took a bit of a road trip. I'm not sure, but I think he's fitting right in.

Sadly, my aunt and uncle left today, and for a treat I'm including a picture of them cuddling when they thought no one was looking (the kid in me that grew up around them wants to scream gross, I would like to say the adult in me has matured, but not really!)

So for now, a super fantastic, we love our family, day!

Shirts...

Did you know it was National Match Your Shirt Day?

Apparently Buddy is the only one who got the memo.
In other news some of my favorite people are here...



That would be my aunt Eva and uncle Buford(I swear I'm not lying) from Kentucky, and my sister and her gaggle of kids just arrived a few hours ago. No sweat though, with a large crowd like this Buddy has already taken well to his new job as the side line commentater...

However, we do need to report that Buddy has become a bit snobbish about those who have only four fingers to show for their age, it's five or above to hang with this crowd (check out Sara in the back, she is obviously of age, see the joy in her eyes)!

So all in all a very super fantastic, we're beat day!

Osmosis...

You know, sometimes things just stick after going over them a few times!

Tour Guide....

Buddy and I just came back from a vacation. Who needs to pay for a tour guide when you have a Buddy to be your personal cruise director...

We went on a train ride at the Grand Canyon, unfortunately we ran into a patch of trouble....

No worries, nothing Buddy couldn't talk himself out of (like always)...

When we got there, something must have happened because there was just this huge hole in the ground!


We kept looking for Disneyland, but we just couldn't find it?

Hmmm, maybe someone should have told us...

Oh well, at least we had a date and drank milk out of fancy glasses, while the waiters kept their arms behind their backs at all times!

(By the way, the burps from the fancy milk are just as loud!)
Since we decided that Disneyland was out on this trip, we decided to do the next best thing...

Commandeer our own helicopter and fly it to Disneyland, oh wait, no, that's not what we did... Take a flight of the Grand Canyon with dad, and show off the matching bald heads!

So now, we have arrived home from our very, very, very long drive. To break up the monotony we stopped at an old cave, fortunately Buddy was armed with a flashlight, unfortunately he was afraid to step in...

Fortunately, he was more afraid to be left by his mother...

Then about 100 miles from home, we found the most boring restaurant that had about 10 of these...

Wow, I'm starting to think he must like trains! So for now, a very super fantastic, glad to be "out of the saddle" so to speak, day!

Oh Donna...

Dearest sister of mine,
I have some of your children. I think I may keep them hostage through the summer, poor Buddy is suffering through the agony of hanging out with them, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?

I thought you'd like a picture of the hostages. Tomorrow I shall torture them all with a day at Boondocks!

NASA Engineer...

Our little engineer has been hard at work....



He's so committed to the NASA regime, this is how we found him last night (what a smart boy, practicing anti-gravity even in his sleep)!

All in all a super fantastic family day!

Chinese Torture Chamber...

Buddy isn't growing quite as fast as we'd like. We're trying to speed that process and give the kid a chance since he comes from a genetic line of shorties...

So for now, a super fantastically tall order day!
