iTunes is Great!

Let me just take a second to let you know how excited I am! I got an iPod Video for Christmas and until yesterday only had about 3 hours of music on it. This was pretty pathetic. I think I have something like 2G of memory which translates into 99.9% of the memory was still free. Anyway, I spent a couple of hours yesterday afternoon going through all of my old CDs and uploading my favorite songs. (I think I've now used up about 5% more...Insane.) I guess I expected it to take a lot longer and be more difficult...it wasn't. I also found a few fun songs on iTunes that I had forgotten about (my most favorite addition is Troop's Spread My Wings...Sayward will remember Troop!) I can't wait to mow the grass with my new tunes.

We are having a great summer so far. This past Thursday night we all piled in the van and hit the drive-in for Transformers and Fantastic Four 2. Transformers gets a big two thumbs up from me. Very entertaining for both the kids and adults. Fantastic Four was just ok, I didn't really care for the first one either, though.

Conner and Grady are enjoying camp. This past week they spent a few days at the daycamp at our gym. Conner got a chance to play racquetball and tennis and Grady had a great time with doing the different activities. Their Creative Kids camp starts tomorrow and that's what they'll be doing for the next five weeks.

Grady the crazy man.

Shawn wanted a hammock for Father's Day - but didn't tell us until the day before - so this past weekend we went on the hammock hunt. (PI people...had I had more notice I would have enlisted your help.) Finding a hammock proved to be a bit more difficult than we thought it would be. However, Brookstone pulled through and, with two perfectly positioned trees, we now are up and swinging! I took this picture through the window so as not to disturb Shawn and the boys.
