Cleaning out the phone photos

So we have these fancy photos and videos from our smart phones, but we have not shared them with our people.  So here we go....

A couple of week's ago, on the way home from work Joe got into a fight with a gaggle of Turkeys. 

Papa Dubow visted last week and she had a little helper in the kitchen.  The two cooks made tasty cookies. 

After about 5 weeks of saying the horse outside the grocery store was broken, Joe finally caved in and let Kate ride the horse.  Mechanical horses are like crack for kids.  Kate was more than disapointed when the 30 second ride was over. 

Riding stationary elephants can be as fun as quarter driven horses

We had a cornbeef and cabbage feast on St. Patrick's Day.  The feast included homemade green beer....yup that's Miller Genuine Draft 64....gotta watch the waist line

Here is out little Kerri Strug

And now for some pictures....

Brent stopped by the other day.  We told Tommy, Brent was stopping by later.....Every five minutes it was where is Uncle Brent, when is Uncle Brent coming over, how much time until Uncle Brent arrivea.....he finally arrived.  Brent is like crack to Tommy.  He really enjoys when he stops by. 

Check out our little karate kid.....I bet he could kick Ralph Macchio's butt
