Trevon the Quarterback

Tessa the Tessa

(no costumes in middle school, and I didn't feel like going t-or-t-ing this year so I just bought a bag of candy and let them choose one everytime they do something nice for each other. Then they get their candy bags on Halloween. It's all about the candy anyway!)

Kaylee was a cat again this year and refused a picture...so just look two posts back!

Do I get the award??!!!

I'm here to claim my prize for "Longest time between posts"!

It has been a year, just about, since my last post so this ought to get you all updated.

As of last weekend...

My family celebrated our parents' 60th anniversary

We filled the hole in the deck



Kaylee started Kindergarten and is doing very well after a roller coaster start the first month

August brought us another wonderful convention and Kaylee's 6th b-day. Here are the kiddos at our annual Ice Cream Social after Milltown 1

July was taken up with a road trip down the OR coast

June was filled with deck construction

We started the summer off by playing tourists in Seattle for a day

Trevon turned 10 and then ended the school year with a tonsilectomy

April showers brought May showers and long grass

Tessa turned 12 in January

We enjoyed a trip to AZ and CA over the holidays in December.

I kissed this cute fella!

Thanksgiving was in Chelan while the mighty hunters enjoyed some bonding time.

And that, my friends, takes us back to Halloween 2009!

Halloween 09

Boys' Weekend

Rod and Randy got brave and invited their boys for a weekend of camping.

They were "winging" it pretty much the entire weekend due to an unexpected trailer probably on our way over. This is a campground they finally found. The locals called it "Poor Man's Campground." You can see that we are the poorest of them all because the place was empty!

... but beautiful

This is a mountain the boys climbed and wore themselves out. (they are in the picture somewhere!)

Treovn can hardly keep his eyes open, but he's NOT going to bed yet. This is way too much fun!

More boy fun!

They didn't starve and the boys are ready to go again. The dads.....???
