SUNDAY NEWS
June 14, 2009
It is summer in Arizona although it really hasn’t been that hot yet. The other evening we went to the field and Vayden enjoyed crawling around on the grass. Yesterday the family woke up early and went to the Phoenix Zoo. We decided to buy a membership so that we can go whenever we want for the next year. Vayden seemed to really enjoy the experience but it tired her out. A tired Vayden is a good thing. Sometimes the little critter hardly ever sleeps. We don’t know how she does it. At the zoo we bought her a little clingy ring-tailed lemur stuffed animal thing that she hasn’t let go of since. Vayden seemed to enjoy the petting zoo the most, followed by the actual exhibit of ring-tailed lemurs and the flamingos.
The diet for both Lori and Karl continues. Lori describes herself as an “emotional cutter” as she now watches the Food Network all day and all night. She has the first three months of meals now planned for when she completes her diet.
Very Vayden
Vayden is a ball of energy these days. She crawls at light speed any time a door opens to a room where she knows she is not supposed to be. She will push it open if you don’t shut it all the way too. She has become a quite a good eater. We have introduced hand foods. She loves to use her two little bottom teeth to gnaw on surf boards like a little beaver. Surf boards are actually called Baby Mum-Mum rice rusks, but who wants to say that. The question, “Vayden, would you like a Mum-Mum rice rusk?” doesn’t exactly to roll off the tongue so we call them surf boards, because that is what they look like. Vayden wants to walk. She is constantly standing up and testing her balance. She has also really starting to enjoy being outside. We have taken her swimming several times now too. It is not the warm bath water she is used, to but she is adjusting to the idea.
Completely Christian
Christian is noticeable taller. He has been enjoying his summer although his parents have been on the lazy side due to dieting issues. Christian spends a lot of time with his best friend Blake. The two of them can play video games for most of the day and into the early hours of the morning. Christian has developed an interest in World War II due to several of the video games that he plays that involve that era such as the Call of Duty series. Christian is also on a quesadilla eating kick, he requests and eat several of them a day.
Christian has recently accompanied Karl to court a couple times to watch a few of Karl’s trials. Christian as we all know is a smart kid and demonstrated his understanding of the real world this week when after observing one of Karl’s clients losing his case and being found guilty, he asked:
Christian: Dad do you still get paid?
Karl: Yep.
Christian: Do you get the same money even though you didn’t win?
Karl: Yep.
Christian: Well then you always win, right?
Karl: Yep.
Christian and Karl have been going to a bunch of Diamondback games. A week or two ago Christian was jazzed that we got go on Stephen Drew bobble-head night which is his favorite player. Christian was also excited to go to his first rock concert last night. After the Diamondbacks game there was a concert put on by Lifehouse in Chase Stadium. They are actually very good in concert.

Sooooo Shelby
Shelby is now out of school and in driver’s education. Happy Summer Shelby!
All Alyssa
Alyssa’s last day of school is this Wednesday June 17th. Hang on Alyssa, summer is almost here.
Being Brittney
Brittney is out of school too, but thinks she will probably take summer classes in the future so as to get through school sooner. She is taking advantage of the additional time to work more.
Really Roxy
Roxy has discovered the benefits of having a baby in the house. Babies are messy and now that Vayden is eating surf boards, bread and things that fall to the ground, Roxy waits patiently in the wings to clean up the floor.
