Football and Cheer!

Kaden is number 42.

Karson cheering at a high school game. She did a cheer clinic.


They have grown a ton in one year!Took this picture in the same place last year. SO this is the kids in 2008.

Uncle Fred visited the first week of school.

It was an extremely hectic week but the kids got to spend a little time with Uncle Fred. They missed him terribly. It took the whole four days for the baby to warm up to him but NOW she talks about him constantly.
Look! Kaden is catching up to Uncle. He will be as tall as Fred before you know it.

First Day of school

2009-Just wanted to post some pics from the first day of school.




-Kaden 13 8th Grade, Karson 10 5th grade, and baby Khale 2 and off to daycare!

Karson picked out this very special backpack. She made the poor store attendant fetch it off the top shelf using a ladder. We must have been to every store in the mall before she found what she was looking for.

Check out what Khale's shirt says. Kyle loves it. It says, "My Daddy is the big Kahuna."

Okay, just a few more

Finally proof! My kids were hatched and not born....they ARE monsters.





I wanted to post a few more pictures of the Haunted house and Dino area. It was the one thing we did for Kaden and he had a good time but I believe it was a bit much for the girls :)

Just a few more pics

Grandma on a hike.
Yogi petting Big Mac! Even the dog loved Yogi.
Boo Boo giving Kyle his necklace.
Kyle walking back from waterfall, with sleepy baby in arms.
Boo Boo bear sitting on Grandpa's lap
They visited us at our camp site.
It was so nice to be able to cool down.
With Cindi bear.
Just the right size for the baby.
Waiting for lunch. Man I love that kid.
The nice part about this place is you are camping but they have a cafe so if you want someone else to make lunch for a change...that is a choice. And Yogi might come say "Hi"

We just had so much fun, I had to post a few more pics of the vacation.

The Garden Maze!

Khale got hot and tired and just wanted the hell out of this stupid maze.


We see you grandpa.....but we have no idea how to get to you and can't tell you how to find us.
The maze came complete with tunnels....but Khale was still traumatized from the haunted house episode and was like..."I'm not sure I want to go in there."
This picture shows Khale running through the misters if you look closely.
In the center of the maze we caught up with everyone.
Beautiful girls taking a break in the maze.

I have always wanted to go into a real garden maze and finally got the chance on this trip. We have been to corn mazes before but something about a garden maze and not being able to see around you sounded fun. This place was amazing. We had to run around and find the stamp stations at different ends of the maze and then find your way out. Kaden took off and left us and then along the way we lost grandpa. And I think at one point I lost Kyle too and it was just me and the girls. But luckily we found Kaden, who for some reason has a very good sense of direction, and we were able to get all of our stamps and find the exit. Grandpa followed about 10 minutes later. It was super hot that day but the maze had misting machines all the way through so we could cool off a little. We had so much fun there but I couldn't help but to think how awesome it would be to have a letterbox there.

The petting zoo

Khale the park ranger!
We found Mr. Slowsky at the petting zoo.
Karson the park ranger.
How much do you love this pig picture?!?
Kaden feeding the giraffe.
At the petting zoo....not for petting! lol
Karson and the monkeys, or is it Karson is a monkey?
My favorite picture. A mama kanga and her joey.
Kaden...never too cool to play mom's games. But cool still, don't you think?
