Feeling a Little Jealous!!

So Marcus has been away for a week on a class trip to the Amazon. I know poor thing!! I do feel a little bad for him, he got sick, it was bad I guess...but what I am jealous about is that he is having soo much fun!! Everyday he has been doing something new and exciting...drat! Then the final straw!! He went to a Dave Matthews Band concert in the Amazons!! But it does not stop there, O-No, he called me today and said, "Guess what I just spent the last 5 minutes doing?" I was afraid to answer, who could know with all the fun things he had been doing, so I just said, "have no idea" then he informed me that he had just been chatting away with all the members of the band!! Like they were long lost friends or something!! Man, some guys get all the luck!! I am glad he has had such a great time, but I can not help the "little green monster" that is creeping up inside of me!! Hurry home Marcus, I have a full week planned of exciting "house chores" for ya!!!

Madi's Hero is her Daddy!

Marcus took his girls to Disney's Princess on Ice!! What a great guy!! Madison was so excited....she got to bring a friend, Zenala...we also brought Liza...she is the daughter of our American friends from church. We had a great time!! Everything was in Portuguese, but who cares it was Princess on Ice!!! The pictures are not very good, the seats were up kinda high, plus they wouldn't stay still, they were always moving, go figure!! I just wanted to share a few of the better ones. I hope that maybe we can see it again in America so we can enjoy the show in English, either way I am sure that this is going to be something that Madison will always remember!!!

Fun at the Beach with Travis

It is hard to get Travis to the beach, I don't know why, there is plenty to look at!! Anyway, we got him to come with us and the kids decided to dig a hole, why is the fun!?! So they dug and dug until there was a huge hole and Travis said, "I think I'm gonna stand in it!" So he did, if everyone knows how tall Travis is then you can only imagine how big the hole was, Brain and Madi and Lucas had so much fun covering Travis up. I think they are really going to miss it here!

First Day of School

The kids have been back to school for 2 weeks now, I know I am late getting these pictures up, but I have a good excuse. I heard about Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series books and they sounded good, so I bought all 4 and they arrived the day before school. Well needless to say, they were a good read and I finished all 4 in about 8 days! So now I am making up for that with the laundry and everything else that piles up when all you do is read for 8 days! I am going to re-read them, I liked them, looking forward to the movie. Anyway the kids had a great first day of school and are now in the swing of things....I had to post the bus picture mostly for Sandy and Jimmy...see Travis does ride the short bus after all!! Be careful of the things you make fun of they always come back to haunt you!!
