Last Day of School

We finished the 2007-2008 school year on Thursday.

A lot has happened this year. The kids sure have grown a lot as well. Its fun to look back at when we began...aren't they cute?

Kade's Bee Sting

So, Kade went to Cub Scouts today to have fun in the water...and ended up with a bee sting.

(His right middle toe.) Another first for us.

Memorial Day

I want to make sure that I take just a few minutes to remember those that we've lost during times of war, and also those continuing to bravely risk their lives daily to preserve our hard-won freedom. There are many soldiers--and civilians--placed in dangerous places around the world in hopes of making it a better place. Thank you for serving your country while putting on a brave face so the rest of us don't have to see what it is really like in places that do not benefit from the myriad of freedoms many Americans take for granted.

Thank you to all those who have served their country in any capacity, you are all important.

Riley lost another tooth

Kade was gracious enough to video this special moment for us. Enjoy!

Piano in the trees

Our friend let us in on this roadside trinket...

While my pictures are a far cry from the ones that a local professional takes,

we sure had fun taking them.

Thanks

Just wanted to say "Thanks" again to everyone who contributed in any way to our very special day. We had a great time...

Kade got Baptized!

Just before we got things underway we had a moment to snatch this photo. Thanks again to all who came to share this special day with Kade, and all those who were with us in their thoughts.

Kade...we are SO proud of you. Keep making good choices.

Kade's Getting Baptized!

I want to first apologize to any of you out there who felt you needed an individual invitation but did not receive one...no one really did. I've never had to arrange something like this before and I'm sure I've overlooked many things. Please do not take it personally. I wanted to make cute little invitations and mail them to everyone I've ever met...that didn't happen either. All I did was make up a mass email...so if I don't have your email on my list, you didn't get it--sorry. So, in an effort to compensate for some of my shortcomings...

Kade's baptism is Sat 10 May at 10 am. If you are interested in attending, or would like to send your well wishes to the lucky boy, please contact me.

Kade is very excited about his big day. I've been running around like crazy trying to get everything done... It seems like things have been building up longer than I thought. For some reason I didn't realize how neglected things have become around here with me being so busy at work. I do laundry...and dishes...and vacuum from time to time...and the maintenance stops about there. I've got a whole summer ahead of me to catch up...lucky me.

I'll be sure to let you know how things go at Kade's baptism...of course there will be pictures to post too. :)
