Loopy for Laura

Laura's only request for her birthday was to play games this year. Our family got a little loopy with the games we played. We tried to get an Oreo from our forehead to our mouth using only our face. We stacked apples and golf balls. We taped a Kleenex box to our backs and tried to "dance" out the ping pong balls. We made human pyramids, and stayed up all night playing card games.


















HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!
We Love you!

Mother's Day Part II

Traditionally, Mother's day is a time that children try to express their love and appreciation for the women in their lives - namely their mom's. Many gather for dinner, give special gifts, send flowers, write notes/cards of appreciation. Well in the Rencher family, the boys decided to show their mother what magnificent men she created.

As we sat around visiting after the Mother's Day meal, B-Rad comments on the size of Mitch's calves. The next thing you know you have tape measures being wrapped around biceps, calves, heads, thighs. Leg length, total height and chest width were being compared. (At that point, the men invited the women to join the comparisons. We politely declined and hoped that wasn't a sign of things to come.)
Who knew mother's day could inspire such competition?



I'm sure that Cherie watched with sheer pride at her masculine boys.
We love you Cherie! I'm glad you are such a great mom because I am reaping the benefits for eternity!

Mother's Day Demolition

Every year for Mother's Day, the Johnson kids gather to do a service for Mom. She prefers this over gifts because she says that its something she can't buy.
This year was especially great because my dad finally agreed to...
BUMP OUT THE HOUSE!!!
The back deck has been rotting away for a couple of years. We decided to start the home renovating by demolishing the deck.







While the men did the dirty demolition work, the women cleaned out the garage.
Ben felt the whole thing was all too serious...
...so he went inside to make a mess
I have a feeling he was not alone
After all that work, we had to have a little fun


WE LOVE YOU MAMMA JO!
