Our World Revolves Around Weston

Our world revolves around Weston in the best way.  My boys are excited and can't sleep the night before he comes.  Then they follow him and adore him the entire time.  Chase, especially.  They share a blankey blue bond that can never be broken!

The April Fool

It was me.  I was the fool. The one who willingly walked around with a sign on my back. 

But what could I do, my boys had joined forces to "sneak" up on me and secretly plant the sign.  Of course, their secret felt a lot more like a hard high five straight to the back followed by hysterical sniggering (of course, raucous laughter would have given it away, but the light laughter was undetectable). 

James was the mastermind and penned the original phrase.  This was no regular "kick me" - this was something for the ages.  Something that had the impact word "goat" and the double take that comes with goat phrases in general.  Of course the post script is choice as well. 

With most things, I, the willing fool wore the sign:

"I kiss goats!"

P.S. (I also kiss pigs!)

Easter Table


Chase carefully set the table with all manner of Easter surprises: lemons, grass grown in styrofoam, cut flowers, a wooden bunny puzzle, cars, and his prized baby Zhu Zhu pet.  What you can't see is the arrangement he made that wasn't complete until he ran out in the the rain and picked a lamb's ear.  I think it is perhaps the most perfect table I have seen.

Boys on Russian Ridge


I've never hiked Russian Ridge.  You can see the Bay and the ocean.  You can also see muddy boys.  You can see boys previously crying from wind, laughing with the magic of a sucker.  You can also see that Chase is too cool for his own good - look at that stance - the CamelBak.  You can see moms hiking with strollers and newborns.  You can see Angie gawking at these friends in amazement.  You can see a lot when you take the time to look around.  I like to see, a lot.
