The Double Header

Our little Soccer Man, working hard!

Our Goalie getting ready to kick it in...
Check out his tongue.

Giving it all he's got...still with the tongue.

There she goes!

Here's our Goalie covering the net.

What a save!

He's all over it. Nobody is getting a foot on that ball!

Down and Dirty making the stop!
They were playing these giant-normous kids
who kept kickin' when Eli already had gotten the ball!
His dad was SO MAD. Eli defended well and didn't get hurt.

Double-Barreled

Under the cover of darkness, the lone, sleepy, cow-poke
loads his custom double-barreled paci-sucker...

Pardon me ma'am, but could ya blow out that
there lantern that keeps a flashin'?
It's a blindin' me.

Pouts, PJ's and Puckers

Puppy Pout...

Puppy PJ's down to the slippers!

Boy, are his dogs barkin'!

Pretty Puckers!

Say CHEEEESSSEEE!

Mmmmmnnn...nummy "App-ies"

Momma, "Isaac, say cheese." Isaac, "Chleeeessseth!"

Momma, "Awww, come on bubby, say cheese!"
Isaac, "CHLEEEEESSEETH!"
Cheese and apples anyone?

WiNKY ChEESe!

Belly UP to the bar boys!

Isaac REALLY likes his new booster!
Now he can sit at the bar (okay island) with his
brother and have snack while Eli does
homework. They love being together and I'm so glad.
I think God may have given me a BIG chunk of
my heaven, right here now on earth with
my sweet boys and their wonderful daddy!
Thanks Lord!

Out...OUT...Darn Tooth!

Eli had this tooth JUST HANGING in there for weeks!
He finally worked up the nerve to let momma pull it
and it was an AWFUL mean tooth...it hurt BAD,
it took forever to come out AND
it bled a lot! Poor Us!
Eli was a trooper and then he
was so relieved that it was over,
he got a little slap-happy...

After the Ride at the Zoo

SO, after the VERY spoiled riders
had massages to rejuvenate their
oh-so-tired muscles, we had a nummy lunch
at the riders tent and went to see some animals.

At the zoo, we went to a great
concert sponsored by Radio Disney
featuring a band called Everlife.
where we rocked out!

Then we cooled off and played at
The Enchanted Mill...

THEN...WE SAW...
Lions and...

Tigers and...

Bears...OH MY!

We had a great day and got some fantastic pictures.
Here's some of our favorites!

We ended our day with dinner and
a special show where we got
soaked by this dolphin!
This was Isaac's favorite part. He's still talking about it!
He keeps saying, "Dolf--Fin"
We wish you all could have been there!

Wild Ride 2006

Here's pics from our "Wild Ride 2006"
with The Indianapolis Zoo.
Matt and Eli had a GREAT time riding the 15 mile
and Gus and I felt very important being
the unofficial SAG vehicle for Team Schantz!
Their route began at the zoo and went over
to The Speedway where it included a lap
around the famous track. Then they
headed back to the zoo where we spent
the rest of the day!
AMAZING family fun!
They're planning on do the 40 mile next year!

The Halfway Rest Stop at The Track!
--Where both of my camera batteries went dead...:(
It was okay though because I charged in the truck.
The fellas look REALLY happy in these pics because they
had icecream at the snack shack and I had brought
apples, yogurt and pancakes from McDonalds.
They were glad to see Gus and Me!

On the phone with Nana letting her know
we made it halfway safely!
She must be saying something funny!
Look at those cheesy grins!

THE FINISH LINE!
WOW!
