Alright, so it’s been a while since I updated on here, and really Chris is doing well, and so at this point it’s more about how nosy ya’ll are than actual serious medical updates.

I mean that in fun, right….please no hate mail….well, if you have any hate mail to send, send it to my mom……she’d love to have to stick up for and defend me, wouldn’t she….ha ha ha ha ha! Expect a ton of mail coming your way, momma! Love ya, kiss, kiss, hug, hug!

Seriously though, if I could convince you all to post about your life – I’d be right there with my face pressed up agains the (figurative) window looking into your life….so get on with it already….seriously….

Anyhoooooo,

Apparently the 3 younger of my siblings went camping late this summer and I wasn’t invited. Something about 4 kids and the noise and we just get up too early and the inconvience of have to eat on time and to be responsible…yah, there was something mumbled about all of that….so Tim and Deb and Chris bugged off up to Ross Lake.

It’s about an hour down towards the States on a back gravel road once you hit Hope….just in case any of that makes any sense to you..if not….don’t worry, the pics are AWESOME!

This one of Chris laughing was probably my favorite of the bunch..

It was very closely followed by this next picture of Debbie…..Seriously, girl what was up with the barge that you’re floating on….That is a seriously sweet get up you got going on there.

Apparently, they played a little scrabble and I was wowed and amazed at how well Tim did – not that I don’t think he’s that smart…I just…Uh…..well…..it was when I realized that it was a WHOLE DIFFERENT KIND OF SMART because………. the best way to win any game of Scrabble especially when playing against the “Scrabble King” is to just multiply your score by 10 (or in other words….to just add a zero at the end of each of your points tally). That’s using your brain, Tim!

Here is a picture of Tim – just to prove that he really was there……hey, when you look studly like this…is it really necessry to score high at Scrabble? Come on, now!

Way to rock out the “Tiki Torch Muscle Flex Technique”, Tim!

This was another of the highlights of the weekend. You haven’t lived until youve seen Hunter swimming. Tim’s freakishly large dog is almost cartoonish in nature. He has the thickness and strength of a Rotweiller up in his front shoulders (and head) and then the sleek, slenderness of the Lab in his bum….makes swimming a little difficult with the zero body fat, and the scrawny back legs…..basically the dog walks out as deep as he can go, standing up higher and higher on his back legs….until he’s waking under water…..so Tim has rigged a “Hunter swimming device”

There is nothing quite so touching as seeing this dog get “his life back” (that was an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Moment…..where is Ty Pennington when you need him?) and be able to swim like other normal dogs.

Here is this Life Changing Device in action….

Two last Photos really just show what fun you can have a brothers….

Here Tim is proving that you can get into an inflatable boat without getting wet…….

And here is Chris demonstrating that it’s not really possible to do the same thing from off the dock…

Damn that sibling rivalry!

Well, that’s it for this installment of what’s up with us.

Rock it out. I’ll be back sometime soon!
