Engaged!
Jer proposed on our 3rd anniversary on our way out to Texas. I’ll write up the whole story when I get a chance, but for now here’s a pic of the bling.

Summer Camping Trip
Last weekend we took a 3 day camping trip to Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino mountains. We brought Kyle and my little niece, Ashley along and had a great time camping beneath the pines, fishing, relaxing, BBQing and breathing in the mountain air.
Here are a few pics.

The Forbidden Office Chair
Once in awhile I bring Kyle to my office while he waits for his dad or Jer to pick him up. He’s commandeered an office chair and gets very frustrated when he comes in and it’s been moved.
Last week his frustration reached the breaking point and he taped this very serious warning onto it for all would be chair movers. It sounds ominous and all, but my curiosity as to what Kyle’s prison is all about is tempting me to cross boundaries.

Kyle has an artistic flair so I bring him to art class. Last Saturday he did this chalk drawing.

The Lucky Ones
I don’t often recommend movies, but we came across this delightful film almost by accident and really enjoyed it. It’s a story about 3 soldiers who come home on a month’s leave from Iraq, each with their own demons to face who end up travelling across country together.
It’s interesting, heart warming and got us laughing hard a few times. Plus, one of the characters is played by one of my favorite actors, Tim Robbins. So if you’re looking for a light, feel good movie to watch over the weekend, I’d definitely recommend this one.

Kyle’s First Dive
Jer just taught Kyle how to dive and I thought it was too cute not to share.

I swear we sell hitches.
After I came back from lunch I realized I’d left these notes in plain view on my desk. With sales guys borrowing my desk and customers in and out while I was out, I felt like I needed to get everyone together for a disclaimer.

Kenji, Jer and Kyle’s Wii Dance
It’s moments like this that make the Wii expenditure worthwile. Kyle’s stiff little moves with his tongue hanging out the entire time crack me up. And yes, I’ve accepted that fact that he’ll never have a career in dance.
I hope he’s a forgiving teenager. :p
