Happy Birthday Tal

Tal had an awesome birthday at the lake this year, he invited two of his cousins and they knee boarded and rode the tube and had a great time.

He got a new mountain bike, paint ball gun and some toy guns for his birthday, what more could a boy want.

Summer Recap

Well since the kids start school tomarrow, I guess I should do my recap of the summer. It was a blast, with days at the lake, family reunions, and all around good times. Kia got up on water ski's for the first time ever, and Tal had a fabulous birthday at the lake. Reunion's with children painting the mens toenails, and 5K's ran by Rob and Kia. Stieg spending a couple weeks with Grandpa, and a get away to Vegas with just Rob and I. Now I'm ready for changing leaves, cooler temps and camping trips.

Play ball

Kia and Talon both played little league this year. Talon loved it he usually played 3rd base, and always got a couple good hits. Kia started the season as the catcher and by the end of the season, was her fast pitch softball teams pitcher. She did a great job, and will probably try for majors next year.

But Rob is really OLD

But still a Hottie. Hope you had a Great Birthday. Love ya tons, and appreciate everything you do for me and our family. You are a great man.

I thought I'd get all my blogging done in one day, so you should hear from me again in 4 to 5 months. No really I'll try to do better, no not really.

Kissing Girls

This is what happens when you've been kissing girls. They punch you and your teeth fall out.

But he won't admit it. No corn on the cob for Tal for a while.

I'm Old

I guess I should put on here that in Feb. Stieg turned 13!!! I can't believe I have a teenager. He is such a good young man. He enjoys drawing, hunting, and riding his motorcycle. Stieg is such a big help with the kids and I usually can depend on him to help me with anything. He has become quite popular with the girls, and I remind him constantly that girls stink, but I'm not sure I've convinced him. Love Ya Son

Goodbye and Hello

Easter weekend, was a tough weekend for our family it meant saying goodbye to a wonderful friend. Our German Shepard Elsie, was nine and a half years old, we got her as a pup when Kia was 6 months and she had been a great friend. We had to say Goodbye to her, as her back hips could no longer support her and we were having to carry her everywhere. Talk about a tough decision but we know she is much happier now. I took this pic of the kids taking her water and food to her because she couldn't walk. They sat down on the lawn for almost a hour playing with her. Trax still thinks she is at the doc. and will be coming home, he even has gone around the back yard looking for her. She will be missed.

And then.... We have really great friends out here. They found these two German Shepard pups in SG and bought one for us, and Robs parents bought the other. So we would like you to meet Kersa, and Laska, sisters. The kids had no idea, they were so supprised it was so fun to watch.

I think the boys were pretty excited to see a new pup, this is Kersa. The puppies mother is a pure white shepard, and their dad is a blue, black and tan shepard.

Laska is a Blue, her eyes are blue and so is her skin.

This little pup doesn't know what she is in for, Trax loves her and packs her every where.
