Gonna make it!

" Dr. Evil" and "Mini-Liz" riding horseback at Blenheim.


Dressing up at Blenheim Palace with "fancy dress" circa 1705 (battle dress during the Battle of Blenheim - France). We were trying to be serious, but were plagued with the giggles.

More of Dave & Jackie



This is how our Cardboard car started out after 20 minutes of designing and cutting

Here is our creation the next night after completing & spray painting it.
Just a fun group shot of the both of us. Check out the license plate, that was her idea.

This is a fun picture. We are recreating our Beach Picture, which is on the projector behind us...only we've added more clothing in this one!

Scott's Turns Six

Scott turns six - count those fingers!

Here's a close-up of the bug and dirt cake that Tara made for Scott.

At Scott's party, they played several outdoor games like Centipede Race (shown above), Egg Carry Relay and Blindman's Bluff.


Then, every kid got to hit the pinata. Scott loved his soccer ball pinata since he started his first season of soccer last week (Tyler started his fourth season). Both are enjoying.


Next, the kids tried to fly balloons the farthest to see whose present Scott would open first, second, etc. The gifts were generous and fun. You can barely see Tyler and his friend playing Xbox in the background. :-)


Finally, we had cake and ice cream outside before his friends' parents came to take them home.

Just a cute picture of Zack and Tara. Had to share.

Tessa was enjoying birthdays so much that Tara offered to have a little birthday party for Tessa's baby sheep. You'll see the cupcake and wrapped gift for her stuffed toy. How cute!

Easterween at the Birds

So apparently British people love "fancy dress" and kids wander around in what we would call Halloween costumes all the time. With 30 minutes to go until the start of the party, the boys decided to put on costumes so Liz called all the friends asking them to come dressed up. And Easterween was born.

Get ready Power Rangers. The eggs are in the back garden.

The hunt was on . . . at least for Chaz. I think Will was planning something along the lines of "I'll let Chaz find them and I'll eat them."


Brock caught in the act of enjoying the fruits of the boys' labors.


Chloe was a little more discrete than Brock but if you look closely you can tell that she enjoyed the boys' candy, too!

32 Lancaster Gate Flat 6

This is the front of our building . . . actually this is the front of about 4 buildings. They just all run together. We are the top floor of the far right door building.

The crowning glory of our flat -- the reception room. This serves as our family room, office, and dining room. It's potentially the biggest room I've ever seen in my life in an apartment. This room saved us!


The Master Bedroom -- there is a bathroom in our bedroom that is easily the size of the bedroom space. Not sure about the design of that one. However, our King bed fit which was a major relief to us.
This is Brock's room/guest room. We have 5 pieces of furniture in this small space. Nice!

So this is the major con of the flat. This picture makes the kitchen look big! It's a nice, "modern" as they say here kitchen, but there's only room for one. I think Rob was on to something with this size.

Dave & Jackie

Nothing like some cuddling at Denny's into the wee hours of the night.

Gettin' cozy at a YSA activity. This is what I call, "marking your territory"!





Isn't this just the cutest picture you've ever seen!?! Back off Dylan...she's mine!



Chillin' with Jackie a la Playa.

Just follow my lead Uncle Davey... and watch the ladies magically appear.













The camera loves my red hair!
































A couple shots of Chloe

Little Pink Riding Hood. This was actually taken at the Roman Baths in the city of Bath, England.
This is one of our favorite photos of Chloe and was on Sonny's desktop. We ike the bubbles coming out of the mouth.
