As Handsome as Ever

Happy Birthday Isaac!
Yesterday we had a birthday party/Easter Egg Hunt. The event had a Pirate-Bunny theme. The treasure chest cake was awesome. Notice the outer layer of chocolate bark. YUM! Isaac was pretty much oblivious to the party being for him. But, he was very excited about his new tricycle. He can't quit reach the peddles, but he'll grow into it eventually. We love you, Isaac.

Shh... Don't Spill the Beans

When mom goes off to Relief Society Enrichment and leaves us with undesirable chores like Baths; this is what really happens...



We get Ice Cream at Malley's. As you can see, Isaac prefers the pretzels and ice cubes over the actual ice cream and Hannah finds the most colorful flavor she can find, with Sprinkles!

Don't worry, we got our chores done and got everyone into bed just before mom got home. As if she really needed to apologize for coming home so late.

The best part is that we were able to practice Hannah's two favorite Idioms. First, at Malley's when the waitress said: "Wow, looks like the Ice Cream is starting to kick in," I could respond: "No, Hannah always has Ants in Her Pants." And to keep Hannah from telling mom about our secret mission, I reminded Hannah not to let the Cat Out of the Bag.

CGC NEAH BAY Video

Well, we are happy to announce that Mark no longer drives the Coast Guard Cutter NEAH BAY. The ice season for the Coast Guard Cutters will last for another six weeks at least. But, luckily, some other guys were qualified to drive the ship and Mark has resumed his normal office job.

Here are some videos of CGC NEAH BAY (#105) in action.
