Science Camp

I can't believe our daughter is heading up to 6th grade camp. The years have flown by. Hailey's wish has always been that I counsel for Science camp. We were both disappointed that this was not an option. I was able to transport Hailey to and from camp and spend an hour on both ends with her and her friends. What a joy this was for us both!

Road construction held us up for 15 min.

Mrs. Meyers has two sons. She did not know what she was getting herself into with this group of squealing girls.

Eating lunch together on the first day.

Our adventurous Hailey had no problem handling the reptiles and rodents at camp.

Just being silly.

Stepping Stone Madness!

The kids and I made stepping stones one evening when Brian was at work. It was a huge success and SO MUCH fun! So we invited Tim, Casey, Landon and Claire over on Friday night for Pizza and stepping stones. Much to our surprise the sun is going down much earlier now and we were forced to finish up in the dark. No matter how hard Brian and I try to keep things simple country living just seems to add a bit of craziness. Too many things to do and not enough time. The night was still so much fun and we enjoyed visiting with our dearest friends. Thanks a bunch guys! We love you all!

Kelden at 7 months

I am 7 months old now. I have 6 teeth and I am working on two more! My sisters know now not to stick their fingers in my mouth because I bite. I can say, "nigh nigh", "Da Da Da" and "Ma Ma Ma". I am learning to sleep in my crib in big brother's room. I can roll from my back to my tummy and back to my back. I recently rolled over in the bath tub! I can sit by myself but watch me closely because sometimes I topple over. I still love my baths very much, but I give my parents a work-out when it comes to diaper changing. With a smile like this...I pretty much have my family drooling over me.

Mr. Giraffe is my pal.

Actually he is my very best friend.

"Come here Mr. Giraffe. Let me pull your ears."

I have the best Big Sister.

My Dad is the coolest!

"Hand five Mom! You're the best!"

Sleepy bear.

Where did you get those chipmunk cheeks?

"Hats are over rated...

...and wigs are for GIRLS!"

"Mmm...where have you been hiding these cookies (Graham Crackers)."

I can fly like Superman!

All boxed up and no place to go.

"I will get these teeth in one way or another."

(Notice the metal washer and bolt Kelden's knawing on)

"Go Rivercats!"
