Meet WiiBot

Our last trip to Universal. 

We have figured out the way for the boys to win the carnival games.

They go to the ones where the winner wins a toy each time.

Then they make sure no other kids are playing,

and they compete against each other.

The kid that wants a toy from a particular game is the kid

that wins. Then they go to another game, and then the other

one wins and gets a toy.

Its a win-win for them!

We got Caleb to go on Jurassic one more time, but that was it.

They love this ride tho.  The thrills it offers...

It goes Up and Down. And it splashes you.

Universal has a fun wilderness area to hike thru.

The boys discovered they can squirt us with these creatures

and they really thought that was funny.

Mike had to work in Miami so Caleb and I went along.

Zachary wanted to stay home with Christina

and not miss a day of school.

He loves his new 'special' class.

Its a social class where they learn social skills.

Since Zachary is so shy (until you get to know him that is) 

the teacher thought these classes might show him how to come out of his shell.

 So with just Caleb in tow, we headed down south.

We stayed at Calebs favorite hotel.

I am sure these pics look familiar since we have stayed here so many times.

Its what Caleb calls the Putt Putt Hotel.

This appeared in the sky over us.

The weird thing is we never heard or saw the plane that did it.

We played putt putt several times.
Even I was making some long shots!

Caleb likes to play store.

He sets up all his toys on the ledge 

then sells them to us.

Buy one for $1 get one free!

While I hung out at the beach, Mike and Caleb went to 

Palm Beach Golf Course and played 18 holes.

They had a very good front 9.
Caleb had 4 pars
and several bogeys!

The back 9 wasn't as great.

They said they both 'stunk it up on the back 9'. 

They have their own golf language.

They had such a fun time.

Caleb loves doing homework. He does it the moment he gets home.

Zachary had to make a Monster Friend for school.

Meet  WiiBot.

He is a monster that plays Wii games with kids.

He is even holding a Wii remote.

(its one I made)

We went to the zoo this weekend.

We became members at the beginning of summer, 

but it has been too hot to go.

Now that the weather is good, we plan on going often.

Caleb giving me a puppet show.

Zachary sabotaging the puppet show.

Christina and I entered a YouTube contest 

for applying makeup.

Christina did my makeup, I did hers.

The boys had a boy scout Halloween Event this week.

We couldn't find Calebs costume in time,

 so he just went as a fireman.

We have since found him a costume.

He will be Jimmy Johnson, NASCAR driver.

(in fact, both boys are wearing their costumes right now.

As soon as they get home from school they put them on.)

The boys are in different dens. 

Mike bounced back and forth between their

dens and me. I stayed at our cub scout

booth and helped the kids play

'Bat' Minton.  They hit plastic bats over the net.

The little kids did good. The big kids had us running all

over the place after the bats.

Zacharys costume is Toad from Mario Bros on the Wii.

Its his favorite character to play.

This year it was so organized. 

Last years was very chaotic.  

Friday and Saturday nights we are going on a campout with the Boy Scouts.

Its at a huge park in the woods, with a lake and a creek.

But its only 20 minutes from our house.

I like that!

20th High School Reunion

I arrived in Phx and stayed with my friends

 for the first few days so

 we could go to our 20th High School Reunion.

20 years goes by very fast. Too fast!

This is Shannon (I stayed with her and her family) Jodene, me, and Ursula.
It was so fun seeing everyone.

And almost everyone saw me as I walked in.

Because I was so busy looking at everyone

 I didn't look down and see the slight step up.

Yep, fell right down.

What a grand entrance!

I stood up and said, "I'm here!"

Oh well, if you know me well, you know that it is what Mike calls 'Typical Corinna Move'.

Despite that it was a great evening.

All you can see is my head in this picture, but I am on the left side next to the 2 girls in black.

And in this one I am next to Jodene who is wearing the pink shirt.

While I was in Phx Shannon and I visited another friend we have known since 8th grade.

Tim. He is the tattoo artist that has done several of my tattoos.

Shannon got one on Friday, and I got one Tuesday.

Hers is on the back of her neck.

Its a bar code with her kids bdays on it.

This is mine.  It will look better when its healed.

The bottom of it ties into the Y in Zacharys name.

  When its healed I will post better pics of it.

The last half of my trip I was able to see my parents,

my grandma Ann, my Uncle Bruce and Mauri,

my grandma Ginny and Grandpa Bill as well

as a cousin from KY that was visiting.

It was wonderful seeing everyone and we had a great time.

Mike, Caleb and I are in Miami this week.

The boys did not have school today so we decided to take them.

They'd only miss one extra day, but Zachary did not want to miss any,

so he stayed home with Christina.

We will be home on Wed.
