Gotta Start Somewhere...

At the request of Mrs. Mel Byrge, there is now a blog to document the life and times of our family!  I'm not sure that our day to day life is necessarily newsworthy, but I'll give it a shot...

Very busy weekend at our house, both boys were home, and we did not want to sit around.  Friday night Tyler went to the GCHS basketball game as part of the band, GCHS did not fare well against East St. Louis...this should not be shocking.  While he was otherwise occupied, Dana and I took Jack to the YMCA in Edwardsville for some swimming.  He floated and kicked and splashed around the pool for over an hour, I foresee many nights spent there this winter...

Momma had to work Saturday morning, when she returned to us we decided to take the boys and Robert to the STL Mills.  Ty and Robert did what teenage boys do best, ran in the complete opposite direction from us, and showed up when they were hungry.  Jack spent about 4 hours in the NASCAR play park.  He spent most of the time on either the "slow" car ride, or the "fast" car ride.  Anyone who knows "Action" Jackson can correctly assume that he spent the majority of the time in the fast cars.  He also took turns on the ride that brings you to the ceiling, and then drops you.  He has no fear, period.  Dinner was at Chevy's, which as always, was decidedly mediocre.  Good salsa (unless you ask Robert), pretty good queso, the slowest service on earth.  Our waiter, Sloth, emerged from the kitchen every 15 minutes or so...no biggie, we were in good company.

Sunday morning brought our usual breakfast at the Apple Tree Restaurant...lots of coloring, thrown food, and Jack "sprinkling" sugar packets on everything.  He enjoys shaking closed packets of sugar over his food.  Jack was then dropped off at his other house; Ty and I watched the Packers dominate (or win at least) while Dana shopped till she dropped.

I'll try to update on weekends after we have the boys, or if something of interest happens.  Most likely, I'll forget all about it until someone reminds me to update...Will try to add some pictures next time as well, it makes my narration a little more bearable...

Until next time...
