Saucer Summer Tour Part 15


Friday, June 22nd, 2012
Today Uncle Tim took us to the neighborhood park and had the boys help him build a trebuchet (catapult).  First they tried to lift the 25lb dumb bell.  Then they used the lever part of the trebuchet to lift the 25kb dumb bell to see how much easier the lever made the job.  Then they launched tennis balls and water balloons to see the difference in distance they would go based on the items’ weight.  Finally we used our body weight to increase the force on the lever to see how far the items would go.   It was a BLAST!!!

After Uncle Tim and the boys dismantled the trebuchet we headed back to the house for lunch.  After lunch we opened presents from Uncle Tim and Aunt April.  We played with our new toys!!  Then Uncle Tim had to go to work for a couple hours.  Simon took a nap and the older boys played hard J  When Tim got home he made us super tender chicken to make fajitas.  We ate quickly as Aunt April’s mom got 6 free passes to the opening showing of Brave!!  Ian couldn’t decide if he wanted to go to the movie.  He decided to stay home and play.  Joey found out and decided to stay home with cousin Ian.  So Mommy, Aunt April, Alan and Eddie went to see BRAVE!!
 When we were taking the exit to hwy23 it was way backed up so we off roaded to take the next exit down.  We got to the theatre with time to spare J  They delayed the show about 10min for those people stuck in the traffic on hwy 23.  The showing was for employees of Wells Fargo Banking and their families.  Thank you Mrs. Zeoli for sharing them with us!!!  The movie is AWESOME and will be part of our family collection as soon as it comes out on DVD.  I think the soundtrack will be added to itunes soon as well.

Today we had French toast for breakfast.   Then we played more with Ian and Simon!!  We had leftovers for lunch and played outside.  When Simon took his nap Uncle Tim got out the new sprinkler.  We played in that for a while.  Then it turned into a water WAR!!  We took baths/showers when we came inside.  Then we played some more J  When Simon woke up we had a snack while Uncle Tim showed us how to butterfly and brine a chicken.  We had the chicken and roasted red potatoes and zucchini for dinner.  Then we walked to the park to play. Uncle Tim showed Mommy some tricks on the big camera.  Then Mommy and Aunt April went to the store to get ice cream for night night snack.  It was yummy!!

Not The Best Time To Start Blogging

I Got Type 1 Diabetes         Monday, January 1, 2018   I went camping at Pupukea for Boy Scout winter camp. I was an SPL (the senior scout boy leader). My chest started to hurt with each move. I went to the nurse and she said it was only heartburn; she advised me to treat a heartburn you want to stay a from meats, eggs, cheese; any free carb foods; and eat foods like a bread, juices, milk; heavy carb foods; [all bad for a diabetic but we didn't know yet.] I went home a day earlier after the final fire bowl. The nurse and other medical professionals, at camp, told me all I needed was a hot shower and good night sleep because I was camping in the rain. When I came home and took a shower I couldn't even stand up. So my mom checked my blood sugar just to rule out that I wouldn't have diabetes. I was around 500. You should be 80-150. So, my mom rushed to Tripler (the big pink hospital) at 1:00 am because the hospital on Hickam is only a clinic for app...

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride.  He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway! A picture of the school close up Our...
