Cousins Rule!

I wanted to have the cousins picture taken again like we did last year, but unfortunately Trevor was in Seattle. So, here is the gang minus Trevor. I think it is histerical how Victoria is looking at them like they are nuts! Well, they basically are. Good call Victoria!

Thanksgiving Dinner!

Who doesn't love Thanksgiving Dinner? It was extra special this year to have Ron and Jane, and Kyle, Shan, and Victoria here, along with Auntie Esther. Toooo much fun and food made for a Great Day to remember just how truly blessed we are!

Syrup Anyone?

Grannie and Gramps were able to come for the nutcracker and then stay for Thanksgiving. What a treat to have them around for a week! It is a special treat when Grannie makes wrislies (sp). They are like crepes. And then it is always a treat to have Gramps pour High, Low, Medium, or as Kali is recieving Super High Syrup! Grannie and I thought he would miss, but he nailed it dead center!! Thanks for the fun and yummy memories!

The Nutcracker

After many weeks of Saturday practices The Nutcracker finally arrived. Kamille had such a great time being a little mouse and a ginger girl. She made many new friends and strengthened some she already had. Here she is after her performance!

With her friend Alanna Peters - the Lead Arabian

With her friend Sydney and new pal Carly Estey - Lead China girl. As a side note, Kamille and I sat in the pouring down rain to watch Carly in one of her soccer games. Those two have truly become bosom friends!
With her dear ol'Dad!

Can't find your bed? Use the stairs instead!

Civic Duty

Tonight Taylor had the opportunity to start the Pledge of Allegiance for the Prosser City Council Meeting. He was a little nervous, but was very excited about meeting the Mayor Himself Mr. Paul Warden. He was totally stoked about his certificate that he received for performing the duty. Way to go Taylor!

Roasting 'Mallows

Paul's been cleaning out the shop and had a whole bunch of scrap stuff, so he bought a little fire pit thing to burn it up in. It's been a lot of fun gathering in the evenings enjoying the fire and doing a little marshmallow roasting. Kali was taking her turn at "roasting" (burning) her marshmallow!

The Bench

Howard had this bench sitting in his garage, so when Paul helped him move Alissa's stuff home he asked Paul if he wanted it. Paul and the kids finally got ambitous and decided to put it together. Kali felt so grown up working the wrench. Thanks for the great place to sit and chat Howard!
