Land of Toz

Thanksgiving 2006 -

Escondido (Papa and Ma's Casa)
Hanging out with the cousins - one of Isaiah's favorite past times. The kids like to wake up early in the morning and find the only morning person in our family (Ma, not me shocker). They sit on the counter and drink hot cocoa. Isaiah is just about ready to join in the hot cocoa tradition, but instead gulps down some cherrios and a smoothie (his favorite morning treat).



Isaiah and Ethan cruise the house in their PJs looking for some trouble. Isaiah will follow Ethan almost anywhere he goes. Ethan fell off a chair during the vacation and broke his elbow, but Isaiah didn't get to follow him late at night to urgent care. Ethan has a cute blue cast on his arm for a few weeks, but doesn't let that stop him from continuing to have adventures with his cuz.

Thanksgiving Olypmics 2006


Isaiah wins a silver medal for the Tosland Team (The Nation of Land of Toz) during the ping pong drop event. We trained him well.


Team Tosland - The Peoples Republic of the Land of Toz
Each family made their own flag representing their country. Our motto...
"There's no place like... 1st place"



The Olympic particpants and delegates. We had a blast playing ultimate frisbee, putting and driving golf (Josh scored an amazing hole in one during the driving contest), basketball, ping pong drop, M&M wars, and horseshoes. The Land of Toz walked away with 3 gold medals. Yeah Baby!

New Thanksgiving Tradition

We ended our vacation on a high (and fast) note by visiting this indoor racing place where we got to race each other with these mini racecars (going up to 40MPH). It was a blast. I'd like to say I came in first, but I didn't. I was too busy waving to Isaiah at the starting line every time I drove by (yeah, yeah, excuses).

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so thankful for our amazing family. Mom, Dad, Doug, Tiffany, Mason, Julia, Ethan, Nick, Midi, and Tim. We love you!
