Thanksgiving

We had Joel come visit us for Thanksgiving. The next day we drove up to Turner Falls in Oklahoma and did some hiking. Some OU professor built a castle there in the 30's - just to explain the castle pics.

Halloween

We're obviously posting this one late, but here's a few pics of the kids at Halloween.

Pumpkin Patch

I guess this is becoming a tradition for us, but we took the kids to the pumpkin patch today. The weather was perfect - but a little muddy. Always a good time to take some pics. Enjoy.

Labor Day

We went to Dinosaur Valley State Park for Labor Day. There are supposed to be quite a few fossilized dinosaur tracks there, but we couldn't find any of them. Good thing there was a swimming hole - it was a hot day.

Miley's 2nd Birthday

Miley turned 2 on the 5th. Here are some pics. And yes, that picture is of her trying to open a present with her teeth.

Back to School *Yee Haw!"

School has started once again. Kaylee has started 1st grade and Ella is in her 2nd year of Preschool. Both of their teachers seem really nice and excited about teaching so I feel great about this year. Kaylee comes home beaming everyday. She just loves school. I hope that feeling can continue as long as possible.

Kaylee's 6th Birthday!

I can't believe Kaylee is 6 years old. We celebrated her birthday by allowing her to invite 6 friends over for pizza, cake, and icecream. It was fun but insanely crazy. The girls for an activity made jewelry. Kaylee of course had a wonderful time being the center of attention. I love you darling daughter. You have grown so tall and beautiful.

Kaylee Graduates from Kindergarten

Kaylee finished her first year of school as a developed student. she recieved three awards for citizenship,improvement, and for hardwork and dedication. All the 130 kindergarten students at her school sang a few songs and then recieved their rewards. Kaylee when asked what she loved about kindergarten said she loved learning.

Memorial day memories at the pool

just wanted to share some pics of our day at the pool.

Kayaking in Folsom

On Saturday we rented some kayaks and went out on the lake. It was beautiful and made me really miss California.

Picnic With The Family

After the graduation we all went to Johhny Carinos for lunch and then headed to the park to be able to hang out for a few hours until my Dad had to catch his flight and til my mom and Sheris's friend Yolanda had to leave. We had a blast visiting and doing a photo shoot in the garden nearby.
