Hello, haven't blogged for awhile. I'll pick it up from last spring break. We went to Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells. We had a wonderful time. We went with the DeVores. Stayed for two nights. 6 hour drive. Not bad. Clayton, Cooper and Campbell loved the waterpark. We saw Karla and Turner Graves there. We went out to dinner at Buffalo Phils with everyone then watched the end of the Butler national championship game together. The room was awesome. Conner MacRae went with us too. We stopped at LegoLand in Chicago. Boys built a lego pyramid and Cooper was enclosed inside of it. The 4D movie was the best part. Fun movie that spit out water. After GWL we went and visited my Grandpa Coolidge. He was 93. That was the last time we saw him alive. He died July 13th 2011. Clayton and I went back up to Baraboo for the funeral. We saw my parents, Aunt Mary, Tom, Tommy, Joelle, Kessie, Josiah, Mallory, Scarlet Belle, Conner, Carol. A lot of people. It was good to go up there and bring Clayton. I was so proud of Clayton that he wanted to come with me.
Summer was fun. We watched Zach and Noah, Rylon off and on. We went to Alabama Gulf Shores for a week. That was awesome. Beachs, restaurants, pools. We caught crabs, jellyfish, stingrays, and saw a shark 50 ft from us while we were in the water. We built sand castles, swam a lot in the pools. Went to The Hangout, and Lambert's Cafe home of the throwed rolls. Went to a great italian rest too. Don't goto FlorBama restaurant as it is not kid friendly. 13 hour drive, kids did great. Campbell loves the pool now. He loves Mallory's pool too. He jumps in off of the side if Becky or I are there to catch him.
Boys have started school. Clayton and Cooper are doing great. Clayton is in challenge class and is doing wonderful on his tests. He has a lot of homework now and reading. Never before this much homework. And he is doing pup running after school on Tues and Thurs. Had his first meet yesterday. Becky was there and said he tried hard. Cooper has 5 gems already in first grade. First boy to do that and only second kid to do it in his class. Cooper is smart too and wants to do well in class. His reading seems to be excellent. He played soccer yesterday and did great. He is small but keeps up and more than holds his own. He seems to be a great little athlete.
Campbell is growing up fast. Talking a lot already. He'll be too next month. 3 word sentenses. Moves the chair in the kitchen around to get what he wants. Got Zours today. Becky and I had a date night last night. First on in a while. Went to Cooper's Hawk then to a movie called Contagion. Great movie. Saw Gerald at the restaurant. Used to play lunch ball with him at the Jordan Y. He is fun. Had a flat tire after dinner that we had to fix. Bummer, but it worked out ok. Kaitlin Fox babysat the boys. She did a good job.
Watched the Colts get slapped today 34 to 7 by the texans at the mishlers house. Bummer. It was fun though. Clayton and Cooper came over after they got back from Marlene's church rally. They played bingo, dunk tank and bounce house. Clayton and Alex won the cornhole tourney. They each got a $10 gift card to Best Buy. Cooper hit the person on the dunk tank down on his first throw. He threw the football today great.
Daycare has been going smooth here. Making money while staying at home with Campbell anyway. Giabella is here all day, then Mallory, Paolo, Cade, Cody, Zach, Noah, come after school with Clayton and Cooper. Zoe comes before school only. P and G get here at ten till 7am. I take Campbell and G to the Monon for a couple of hours and I play bball. I still have fun playing. Hit game winner Friday.
Played in the monon league twice now. Won one and got third in the other. Bout to start again. Playin with Nuckols, Langston, Big Nick, Abisi, Lamers, Ricus, Doug, Cory, and Pete. We have a good team. Ricus broke his are and Lamers are going to sit out the third season. Ricus broke his arm on my head trying to block a shot against Ben's team. Going to pick up Curtis from the monon. I pretty much distribute, move the ball and hit open threes. It's fun. Playin fantasy football too. With Noszka for the 6th year and in my own in Langstons league. Its fun cept Peyton went down this yr.
