This picture was too funny not to write about. Bryce gets so pumped when we read books about tractors, fire trucks, contruction equipment, etc. I don't know what little boys did before construction equipment ... look at the big horses I guess. For fun I like to pull up YouTube videos of construction equipment, race cars, explosions, etc. All the stuff even 18 month old boys can appreciate. For starters check out this promotional video for Hyundai Construction Equipment.

Sydney's Soccer
We enrolled Sydney in Westminster Soccer this fall for her first time participating in a team sport. She is on the Dolphins team and her coach is the guy wearing the black shirt in the background. I was nominated as the assistant coach which basically means I sit with the subs on the sideline and don't let them run out on the field when its not their turn. They play 3 on 3 girls with no goalie on a 30 yard field. Sydney is not really into it that much and just sort of runs around with the pack around the ball. This last game the ball actually went through her legs as she was running and not paying attention. Two weeks ago one girl on the other team got "hurt" and by that I mean she fell while running and started crying. It was pretty cute because Sydney was the only one of the girls to sit down with her and try to comfort her. I guess she's a lover not a fighter. It seems like each team has about one girl that's really into it and will score all the goals. Our team doesn't really have that girl and we've been beaten pretty handily even though no one keeps score. We've got until the end of October before the end of the season so hopefully we'll teach them to be a little more agressive and make some goals. Go Dolphins! (Never thought I'd be saying that being a Packer fan. Speaking of which: Go PACKERS! 3-0 BABY!)

Dog Day at the Bay
I just created another YouTube video of Dog Day at the Bay. This is an annual event at the local pool where they open up the pool for dogs to swim on the last day of the year. It was held last weekend and we've been going for the past few years. Kozmo and Zoey love it although I think Kozmo likes it more for the people interaction than for the dog interaction.

Bryce's Head Wound
Bryce has been going in and out of our screen door for a while now. He managed to tear the screen away from the frame to give himself a nice spot to move the door back and forth. Hmm, I wonder why we have so many flies in the house. Anyway, he recently took a nice fall off the patio steps and roughed up his left eye. He didn't cry too long and as you can see by this picture he's back to all smiles.
Sydney's First Day of Preschool
Sydney was pretty sad on the first day of preschool because she wanted to have the same teacher she had last year. Click on the photo to view more pictures from the first day because she warmed up pretty quick once her friend Aiden arrived.
30th Birthday Party
This was the second of two BBQ parties we had during Labor Day weekend. The first was a neighborhood party which included a fireworks show put on by another neighbor. He had some nice air burst shells which were all contained in a single box that once lit, would shoot 3 shells, one after another, into the air. All was well until one box had the shells burn through the side. The first shell went off in the air as planned but the second shot into a crowd a people in the street. The third hit over the garage where everyone else was watching. Luckily no one was seriously hurt but the neighbor that lives behind us had a nice burn on her leg and a few other people had minor burns.
The 30th Birthday Party BBQ was to celebrate Jason turning 30 on July 27th and Melissa turning 30 on Sept 15. It was mostly people from our bible study group and a few other close friends. After the two parties I had eaten my fill of hot dogs for a few days.

Boz at BVCC
Boz came to Boulder Valley Christian Church a little while back and I shot some video of it. Here is the condensed version consisting of Sydney dancing and Bryce trying to get into trouble. And yes I do teach her all her moves!

The Idaho Springs to Georgetown Half Marathon
Well all the training has finally culminated in the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon on Saturday morning. Melissa left at 5:45 with our neighbors who were also running the race in order to get the registration packet and make the start time of 8am. Me and the kids slept in and left at 8:15 so we would be there in time to see Melissa finish. We struggled to find a parking spot but did managed to get there to see her finish. Notice her bib in the picture says 3676 so there was a large group of runners there. Many more than the "around 200" that her friend told her (probably so she wouldn't be nervous). Anyway she finished really well even though it was quite hot throughout the race. We walked around the Idaho Springs football field afterwards and I finished her free O'Douls with a little help from Bryce (see the picture in Flickr). For a cool map of the route check out what her Garmin produced with a little help from Google Maps: Route Map.
Ball SW Picnic at Boondocks
The Ball SW department picnic was at Boondocks fun center this year. They organized a dinner for us and then we had unlimited use of the facilities which include mini golf, bumper boats, go karts, laser tag, batting cages, and tokens for video games. Sydney had a lot of fun on the bumper boats and go karts. We also had fun blasting each other in the laser tag arena. There's another picture in my Flikr photostream of Ryan Melton and I playing Dance Dance Revolution. Towards the end of the evening we found this game with a revolving table containing plastic dinosaurs. It cost two tokens and you had to move this dinosaur mouth down and catch the dinosaurs which you then won. I'm not a gambling man but I can see the addiction factor because I was cleaning up at this game. A few times I grabbed two dinosaurs and Sydney, Bryce (and Melissa) were all cheering for me. I ended up winning 11 dinosaurs and gave a few to a coworkers kid because I had every species! It may sounds pathetic, but it was an exihilarating end to a great night.
