Tooth Acres

One thing that we have been doing for fun this summer is swimming at Grandma's house (where we live in the basement). It is really fun to just swim for 30 minutes at night if nobody else is over, especially when Grandma keeps the heater pumping all day and it is 88 degrees in the pool.

Exercise Physiology Lab

These are a few pictures of our last experiment in my Exercise Physiology Lab.  We cycled for 20 minutes in the heat chamber (100 degrees F) at 50% of our VO2max.  Chris came in every 5 minutes to check heart rate.

 

Bleeding Love

I am really not a So You Think You Can Dance addict, but I happened to be watching the episode where this lyrical hip hop was performed. It gives me goose bumps every time I watch it.

Marianne Oh Marianne

My Uncle Bob made up this song and played it at our most recent family party.  He made it up as if he were Erica.  Get it?  It is to the tune of "Maryann - Down by the Sea Shore"

Marianne oh Marianne, you're marrying some guy,

Marianne we've thought about it, and we don't know why,

Marianne oh Marianne how happy you would be,

If you would marry Kelsey, Clark, and me.

All day, all night, Marianne, you're go'n a be

changing diapers, washing pots and pans,

Marianne oh Marianne how happy you would be,

If you would marry Kelsey, Clark, and me.

Marianne oh Marianne oh won't you marry us?

We would be you groceries and tokens for the bus,

Marianne oh Marianne how happy you would be,

If you would marry Kelsey, Clark, and me.

All day, all night, Marianne, you're go'n a be

changing diapers, washing pots and pans,

Marianne oh Marianne how happy you would be,

If you would marry Kelsey, Clark, and me

We would even build you a house up in a tree,

Or if you wanted to we'd build you a big teepee,

Or even better, we could all live with David and Leslie.

Knowing the tune to the song would make this better, but even standing alone I would say it's pretty good.  Thanks Bob.  -MC

Matthew Gary Carter Pierce Day

Today we had the pleasure of hanging out with Matthew Gary Carter Pierce. He joined us for lunch and dinner, wrestled with Chris 3 times, watched Matlock with us, learned how to strum the guitar with Chris, helped us fix two bike tires, and if he was old enough I'm sure he would have come to the temple with us. It was so fun! Here are some pictures to share.

Dessert (candy bars) sticking on fore heads.

I took the picture just as Matt's Hershey bar fell into his cup of milk.

Love the spaghetti sauce lipstick.

Matt was genuinely interested in Chris' life stories.
