Thanksgiving Day

This Thanksgiving was at mom and dad's house.
After dinner some of us had pie. Papa had a little more trouble getting pie this year as KS decided to pick on him. She ate her pie and put the empty plate in his spot and pretended to start in on his piece. You snooze, you loose.
Then she organized Grammie's candy cupboard.
This is T with her new hair color. It is a dark brown with her natural color as highlights.

Hannah Bear

Today Hannah Bear came to our house. She is a 6 year old appalossa. We are going to try her out for a month to see if she and KS like eachother.She lowers her head nice for KS.
Getting a treat. Yum.
She sure seems nice.

Dinner with Grammie & Poppa

KS all ready to go sing at her concert tonight. Poppa putting oil on a cutting board he made. It is fantastically georgous.
KS is cheating! I still have her by an inch when she not on her tippy toes.

She does have Grammie beat though.
Love you all the way to the moon and back.

Halloween

Dad is attacking K for her trick or treating candy. I dressed up as a firefighter.

Home Coming Dance

This is TS getting ready for the dance.

Homecoming Night

This is TS and LC all ready to go out to the Homecoming dance. TS dress is almost a dark turquoise (almost navy).
This is her date, RP. They were heading off to have pictures taken and then meeting friends for dinner. Then they will go to the dance. Hopefully they are both having fun. It looked like they were going to enjoy the night.

Mud Wars

Best buddies off to battle in two feet of mud just to win a tug of war.

Mud Wars is a special event for the girls during the week of Homecoming.
Ahhh...JH is such a good friend to share her mud with TS.

Catching Up

Well a lot of time has passed since I updated this site. Now that our connection is faster, maybe I can keep up.

BS did a triathalon in The Dalles this weekend. The water was choppy and hard to swim in, but he felt great after completing the race.Last weekend we went out on the boat and the girls learned to knee board. K is celebrating here.
T was even able to wave to us in the boat after she got up.
This is right before B and I tipped over, head first!
B got up on the knee board too. Looks like fun doesn't it?
K helped us throw a surprise party for T on her birthday. Dad took her out driving and we decorated as family came. It was so much fun because she didn't have a clue anything was up.
Sweet 16!
This is T walking in the door as we all yelled "Surprise!"
This is one of my favorite pictures I took at the end of this summer.

Father's Day

Here is B with his new BBQ that he got for Father's Day.

Relay For Life

This is what the football field looked like during Relay For Life. This is a fund raiser for cancer research. T headed up a group and they took turns walking all night long. This is T and K going strong.
They took a moment to pose. See the HOPE sign in the background?

Baby Chick

Here is Kylee holding a baby chick that we hatched at school today.

Kylee goes to outdoor school tomorrow. I think she is going to love it.

Friend Turns 15

We went to Seaside to celebrate LC's birthday. Here are the girls watching the sunset (and a little peeking at the boys on the beach).Here they are screaming as loud as they can.
We went to the hat store and they became our models.
It is low tide and they went looking for seashells.
Then we went bowling.
At the mall, LC and TS decided to get their ears peirced a second time.
Then on the way home, we stopped off at REI and climbed their rock wall.

Easter Egg Hung

The girls got their 4H jackets today. They have waited two years for them, so they are very happy. They are dark green with a navy fleece lining. We hunted for Easter eggs this morning. Last year they found eggs here too, but we hadn't moved in yet.

This is JM taking a quiet moment before her test.
