"Is Mild Spanish for Not Hot", August 2012

 

For those of you that don't know, Roc loves salsa.  The other day we went to a local restaurant and started enjoying some chips and salsa.  Because Roc loves chips and salsa he had his own salsa that he was eating.  By the time the food came Roc had finished his salsa and wanted more so he asked if we could get more, we said that it was fine so he asked the waiter if he could have more salsa and the waiter asked if he wanted hot or mild and he said he wanted mild.  After the waiter left Roc turned to me and asked "is mild the Spanish word for not hot?"  We had a good laugh.  For those of you who are wondering the same thing I did check and found that it comes from several origins including: Old English, Germanic, Latin and Greek (notice no Spanish).

Last Free Weekend Before Football Games August 2012

Calvin understands how to take advantage of our time at the coast!

 

 

Roc is now in football and school starts in 4 days which means that this was the last weekend to get out of town, so we took advantage of a sunny weekend and made a day trip down to Brookings for some fun in the sun.  We were not the only ones, the beach was packed with people but even with the all the people we still were able to find an area of the beach to kick back and relax, we even found a wide slow water flow that the kids went swimming in (it was warmer than the ocean).  The only down fall to the entire day was that we did not plan on the kids getting wet so yes we had to stop and get a change of clothes form the local Fred Meyers (the kids were happy with the swimming and the new clothes!).

Porter Dressed as Calvin August 2012

 

In case you can't tell Porter was accidentally dressed in Calvin's clothes.  Porter and Calvin both use the same size diapers so why can't they wear the same size clothes?  And I'm sure that nobody is wondering but yes it was Ryan who dressed him!

Football Time, August 2012

Roc got his football pads for his first year of tackle football; do you think he is excited?

Porter is even excited about the upcoming football season.

Porter was so excited about the upcoming football season that he wanted to show his dedication to football by not even taking off the helmet for dinner.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, he made the catch.

 

Porter found a tractor to play on while Roc was play running.

 

The start of the football season started with getting football pads followed by a fitness camp.  After four practices without pads the kids will finally get to put the pads on and see what they can do with them.  Roc's team has 15 kids with only 3 that have ever played before.

 

 

 

Calvin's First Teeth August 2012

Calvin got his first tooth and soon got his second one.  Thank goodness for teething tablets and tylenol, he was surprisingly not bad during the process.  Here's hoping to it being the same for the rest.
