Catching you up again!































10 Years Old!!!!!!!!!

What is going on? Ocean turned 8 in January, and then Vincent turned 10 in February! This is all going by way too fast!

During Vincent's birthday, he was in the midst of his basketball season, so we made him a gigantic basketball birthday cake. Just like Ocean's birthday, we celebrated once as a family and then once with family friends.

Thanks to CraigsList we found a 14 foot trampoline for a great price! The kids love it and even Todd and I have spent more time jumping on it than we thought we would. Todd and I however are just scared enough to only jump up and down (see the video). The kids, on the other hand, have no fear and do stunts! I hope this is not our summer for a broken bone! We have already seen enough of the inside of a hospital for the year 2009...

Vincent recently had an appendectomy. He had a low grade fever for a few days, and then came home early from school one day with a "stitch" in his side. We wound up in the ER at 8:00pm, had a CT scan at 12:00 am, and surgery at 1:00 am. He is fine now, but he reports his belly button feels weird from the laproscopic surgery. Hopefully, that is our only medical event this year!!!!!

I can't figure out how you made that round cake. It's sooo cool. I KNOW the kids love that trampoline. It's such great exercise for them, but yes, it's a little scary when they come close to the edge. All of the pictures are good, but the one of the three of them on the trampoline is terrific. Sorry to hear about Vincent's appendix. Sounds like a long agonizing night. Poor little fella. Glad everthing is okay now, and I reiterate your hope that that is the last you have to see of the hospital for the year.

You guys are having so much fun with your trampoline and I am so glad. Just make sure that Mom and Dad don't get hurt. I love this blog and enjoy looking at what you are doing.
