Birthday Girl

Ella was queen for a day at school- because of her birthday, but she felt the need to carry it way into the weekend too.

Quinn jammin.

We all had fun at Ella's 6th birthday party.
Grandpa visited from Alaska and we were all glad to see him.

Ella had lots of fun with Grandpa on his visit- She told him he needed more hair and gave him a corn silk toupee.

Star Search

Quinn is a rock star on Guitar Hero.

First day of High School

Oh my gosh- I have a high schooler! Taylor has started 10th grade this year. I can't believe it. Hey - check out the shoes. All of the kids wear the old Jordan's that look just like the first one's from- 1989??? Funny huh? Taylor is a great kid and I am very proud of him for making my parenting job easy! It must really suck to be a kid of parents who were pretty sneaky as kids. We know all the tricks! I think Taylor realizes this and doesn't even try to pull one over on me. Or, he just knows I am a over-protective worry-wart freak and saves me from any freaking out! Nonetheless, he is a super easy kid.

Dance Fever!

Brings back memories of cheering for the G-Men. Didn't Nicci cheer for the Lumbermen?

Go Strawberries!

Summer Fun

Taylor likes the quad too- Quinn maybe not so much!

Ella had Cheerleading camp last week. Just 5 year olds in her group. It was very fun to watch. They even did a dance. Cute Times.















Ella and her pal Jack Bazil. He now has been trained to ride the quad. Priceless.

Lon, Kelly, and Quinn visited at the Boat. New News- they are having another BABY! Or, is Lonnie having the baby???? Sympathy pounds! I'm the sister, I can say that. Notice the big box of Emporers Palace- Thanks to Kelly and her Palace connections! YUM!















Quinn loves Ella. She does not appreciate the mauling though. He just wants to tackle her.
