Pre Halloween Family Fun

Yep here we go with all the holiday gatherings & parties once again. I don't know about you but it sure seems like every year comes around really fast. Here we are at Kendra's school during Halloween Family Fun Night. The school makes a great effort in involving families during the holidays by inviting everyone to join and participate in what they call Family Fun Night (depending on the holiday). We all took turns in cleaning and carving a pumpkin while we listened to scary music and enjoyed some drinks and treats. Kendra was dressed up as Juliet this year and as for Mia she was a mini version of Didi from the Doodlebops. For all you single people out there, this is one of many events you will one day be enjoying with your own children. We had alot of fun. Kendra also had her own front page spotlight in the local paper during this event. Be safe and happy Halloween everyone.

Joshua is now 4 months old. Here he is enjoying the
Homecoming parade this past weekend.

How adorable am I? Joshua doesn't miss anything.
He is so lively. Such similarities to his father.

Meeting Mrs Amercia

What are the chances on meeting Mrs Wyoming during a local event and suddenly she wins the crown and becomes Mrs Amercia. Kendra was pretty happy to know that she met and took a picture with Kelly McBee before she a nation wide celebrity. Kendra had the opportunity to get her nails painted by Kelly during the annual Culture Festival just one month prior to the Mrs. America pageant.

GROWING SO FAST

It's so hard to believe that in only three more days, Joshua will be three months old. He is growing so fast. As of his last check up, he is weighing 11 pounds and he is just shy of 24 inches long. I will post his three month old picture soon.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Well it is that time of year...already! Kendra started her first day of school today. I can't believe that she is in the 1st grade already. She was very excited and anxious to return to school. She was very happy when her teacher (Mrs. Feather) called her at home the weekend before to see if she had any questions and told to her that she already had Kendra's desk picked out for her. Her own desk...Big kid now!!!

The air is beginning to cool...well at night time anyway, which means fall is quickly approaching. I love fall, it brings my beautiful wife's birthday, our anniversary and hopefully a good hunting and fishing trip. Before we know it, we will be giving thanks and opening gifts as the Holiday season is just around the corner.

This has been a great year to give thanks, as we have been blessed with wonderful friends, beautiful children and a place to call home. So long for now.

BASEBALL SEASON COMING TO AN END

Well Kendra and I have one more game to go and we will wrap up our 2007 baseball season. This year we were the Florida Marlins with eight girls and three boys. Believe it or not, the girls are much easier to coach then the boys. We had a great time, Kendra's skills are improving nearly every game and of course, she loves the social time. We are going to wrap our season with a BBQ party and water balloon fight on Thursday night. Special thanks are in order to my buddy Shawn for helping me coach this season. What a true friend, thanks Shawn.

OUR SON HAS ARRIVED!!!

KENDRA'S GRADUATION DAY

May 29th was Kendra's big Graduation day. She was so excited and ready to share her poem that she had been memorizing for the past three weeks (Why do I water my Flowers). Check out the link to her graduation over on the right...

Here is her whole class perfoming one of several songs..."I am Special"...Yes sweetie you sure are. I can't believe you will be in first grade already.

All dressed up in her graduation dress that Weulo and Weula bought for her.
And of course Sissy was there to document the joyous occasion on her "camera phone". What would we do with out her?

AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL???

Mia is at the stage where she just absolutely adores everything that Kendra says or does and of course Kendra is loving every bit of it. Today they got dressed up for graduation and Mia had to look just like her "Sissy". Aren't they just beautiful.

FISHING DAY AT BOYSEN

Yesterday we took the girls to the Boisen State Park for an all day Fishing for Kids. Every year Game and Fish open the park to the public at no charge for one daily visit. Kendra was having fun until she got a snag and thought there was just no fish around her area. Mia enjoyed realing in her fishing line even though she had no bait or hook for that matter, but she was fishing alright. Since Buck still has a Texas driver's license mom had to help the girls out. Well in my effort to be supportive, I had no choice but to do a little fishing myself. I became too excited when a fish hooked on to my line, I was like the little boy from the Christmas story, Ralphy. He was trying so hard to figure out the secret passage from his favorite radio show "Little Orphan Annie". Anyway, as the fish fought hard to escape, I realed and realed until all of the sudden the line snapped and the bobber ricocheted hitting my face on the right side of my sun glasses. It was a good thing I was wearing sunglasses other wise, Buck would have a lot of explaining as to why I had a black eye. We had a fun day outdoors and even though we came home empty handed we enjoyed our time together.

Can you believe that Easter has already come and gone? Soon we will be Christmas shopping. Here are some pics of the girls in there beautiful Easter dresses (thanks Tia Idalia). The girls had a great time opening their baskets of goodies and searching for eggs at the annual egg hunt at the Baseball Park. We enjoyed a nice Easter dinner at Ram's Horn (thanks grandma) followed by some play time at the girls' favorite spot in town...Sanders Park. We sure hope that all of our Family and Friends had a Happy and Blessed Easter as well.
