Bohrer Family Online

I’m cleaning out my old computer and found a bunch of pictures. This particular batch was all organized and just happened to be pictures of our Christmas back in 2003. From the looks of it we spent most of Christmas in Pocatello with Heidi’s family.

There are a bunch of photos following the break. (more…)

We got over Christmas with no major malfunctions. The kids opened up a present or two on Christmas Eve and then we went over to some friends house. We had a good meal and got back to the house before Santa Claus arrived.

The kids left out some letters for Santa, wanting him to take a picture of himself (Mason) and leave presents for the rabbit (Whitney). The rabbit is now named Sassy, too.

Mason loves pop, and so we try to have root beer around for the holidays. We had some good root beer in bottles for him in the fridge, but he would drink them all in one day if it were up to him. But they are the kind he can’t open, so he (more…)

We went to Idaho for Thanksgiving this year, which we haven’t done since we’ve been living in Virginia. We had a pretty good time and the kids got to see some snow.

We flew into Salt Lake and spent the first night and Dan and Amy’s new house (and the last night there as well.) Then we headed up to Pocatello to eat dinner with Heidi’s family before going out to Springfield.

Mason’s one request was to go to Craters of the Moon, and so we took a day and did that. The kids also make gingerbread houses, played some video games and some other fun things.

I took my (more…)

Me and the kids dressed up for Halloween. The kids were Wonder Woman and Lion. This year, Mason dressed up as a scary lion. He took the red ribbon off his lion costume and wanted some blood on his teeth to show that he had been eating meat.

I went as Buckethead, the former guitar player for Guns and Roses. Even though the real Buckethead wears a mask from the movie Halloween and not Friday the 13th.

We had a pretty good time and the kids got a lot of candy. The night wasn’t too chilly, either, which was nice. Mason had wanted to be Godzilla, but changed his mind at the last minute back to the old lion standby.

On Sunday, we had to leave church early because Whitney wasn’t feeling too good. So on the way home, Mason, who usually responds to Sundays by saying “You know what my favorite part of Church is? Going home,” decided that we hadn’t had enough church yet.

So he decided to plan a lesson and teach us when we got back to the house. He spent all sorts of time preparing with his little flashcards he found, putting them onto the fridge with magnets, and thinking about things to talk about. He labeled each one of our chairs with our own name, so we even had assigned seating.

Anyway, he did a great job and even though the video is kind of long–at 23 minutes–it isn’t as long as staying for the rest of church would have been.

Marty and I went to the Van Halen concert last night. It was really good. We we both surprised by how good David Lee Roth sounded after such a long layoff.

The worst part of the concert was the opening act. It was the worst opening act in the history of the world. It was reggae music for one thing. It may have been a decent band if they were playing in a park somewhere for free, but worthy of opening (more…)
