Some people use sprays to get rid of ants, others use granules, and some just let them live. Today we discovered Cutler and Mason’s differing approaches. Cutler chooses high frequency noise and Mason goes with brut strength. Pretty sure our neighbors aren’t big fans of Cutler’s approach.

All things Cutler
FORE!
The LLS asked for an updated photo of Cutler for the Links Fore Leukemia tournament, something that would include a golf club. So this morning, before heading to school, I handed Cutler his driver and told him to take a few swings for a quick makeshift photo shoot. Despite his lack of genuine smile in most photos of late, he shined on this effort. It must be his love of golf. Here are a few that I really liked. By a few, I mean a lot and this was with restraint.
Relaxing View
After watching some incredibly tense and overly chippy playoff hockey I thought I would mellow out by watching some video of the boys playing. Considering the two of them are quite often going at it like hockey players on opposite teams, it is good to catch these rare moments while lounging by the window. I actually sat there watching for a good 20 minutes. Such a relaxing and heart warming view.
This late night give up is brought to you by NHL playoff hockey.
Happy Easter From Team Fricke
Still Flying And Sliding
After a really long day, I’m ready to put a pin in it and go to sleep in anticipation of an early awakening by the kids ready to hunt Easter eggs and so I shall share with you a quick video of my “fast” child on his journey from first to second tonight and his amazing sliding skills. I promise this is not him tripping over second base, just his attempt to slide.
Eggscellent Day For Dying Eggs
The Cats
I almost spaced and forgot to do my daily post, but then as I was laying down to fall asleep I heard “Happy” by Pharrell. Just listening to his thought provoking lyrics I felt inspired and reenergized enough to get up and post this team photo taken from Saturday of the four and five year old cats that I get to help herd every Saturday. Notice they are still getting them lined up for the official photo and Cutler already has his photo smile on.
Like Mason?
When Cutler got to third base during his game on Saturday I asked him if he was going to slide into home plate and he asked me, “Do you mean like Mason?”. He wants to do everything his brother does and was so eager to slide into home, especially after watching his game just a few hours before. Here is a video of that slide, looks like we have some form to work on.
Since that video is so short, I thought I would include this of one of his hits. He has the pose down after the swing. If he doesn’t correct it by coach pitch, I may feel shown up and have to put the next pitch in his ear to teach him a lesson.
She’s Back
Today we were blessed to have Kobi return to the homestead for a visit on her drive around the country. She arrived in time to help pick up the boys from school and each reception from the boys was as precious as the other. You can tell they both really missed her a ton, even though she did not return from London with an autograph from the Queen. It didn’t take long before Mason had suckered Kobi into a high stakes game of MASON (think horse) with the mini basketball on the mini hoop. Mason comes up with some rather imaginative shots, including one from the scooter that I had a great video of that I can’t get to work. Oh well, at least Mason can say that he beat Kobi at basketball, he just doesn’t have to mention that her name ends with an I instead of an E.
I’ll work on some more embarrassing videos that can be posted while she is in town.
New Additions
We have added some new pets to the family in the form of fish. Cutler was very excited to name them. So, in no particular order I would like to introduce you to CJ, CJ, CJ, and his other brother CJ. Not sure why, but Cutler has named everyone of them CJ.
