Kallie the 1st grader!

My little girl is growing up! She is now going to school full time from 8:45am to 4:00pm. So long, right? With riding the bus it takes that long to get home.

She was a little timid/reserved at first. But she made it through those doors safely. Shheewww.

I don't know why I worry about her. Maybe cuz I remember having those same exact shy feelings every time I went to school or moved to a new place.

But, as time goes by I know she will warm up to the other kids.

Intel Work Party!!

Our good friends Carl and Annette Farley invited us to their work party. It was so fun. There were carnival games, GoodWood BBQ, snow cones, and of course blue cotton candy. :)

Three times a Charm!

Its' funny, Jim and I have learned a lot in the almost 9 years we have been married but, occasionaly we still get those hard lessons to learn. It's part of life right?

If you haven't heard yet. Jim was laid off yet again. Just last week. This makes #3 in 3 years 9 months. Funny right? Smile

I don't know exactly WHAT we need to learn from this lesson. I honestly thought we learned enough the last time this happened. But here we are yet again and meanwhile, Jim is searching hard and I have no doubt he will find something soon.

He is so amazing and not one to sit around and twittle his thumbs. So with that said, watch out all you Big Wigs!

Kallie catching a fish!





Yes, our boat had issues and we had a total of 3 hours on the lake. All and all we still had fun as a family!

Before I Forget...

Kallie's Quote to Jim.

"Hey Dad. Since everyone thinks I am so pretty and cute. Will the bees think I am pretty and cute and not want to sting me??"

Brooklyn, age 4

I feel like I have been posting a lot for Kallie and Blake lately. So I thought I would write a little something about Brooklyn, before I loose my mind and can't remember things. :)

Brooklyn is just a funny/dramatic little girl. She has to wear a dress everyday. She dances, and sings to her favorite songs. (which is a crack up to watch) Plus, she poses for the camera like a champ. (this too is fun when taking pictures) But lately, the best of all..

she has been saying the funniest things.

Mom! That guy has lots of stamps!
