First Communion and Camping

Liv made her first communion and poses with the Godparents, cousin Jeff and cousin Chrissy.


Payton, Madeya, and Makenly camping at Wells.

PayPay is 4 Today!

Happy Birthday Payton! Gettin' old quick!

Olivia is 8 Today!

Liv is 8 years old today! Wow, hard to believe she is that old. Seems like yesterday we were traveling through a snow storm to Marquette the day before she was born.

Last week we went to Appleton and stayed a night in the town. She wanted to eat at Beefeaters, it was good and she got the mac and cheese and the waitress brought an ice cream treat for her.

We brought the girls to Chuck E. Cheese. They had a blast and we went on Saturday and Sunday.

Payton had a good time too. It's hard to tell, but she is a ham.

Paypay posing for the camera. Hey, you got a little something on your face!

Finally, an Honest Hunter!

Here's a picture of the new world record holder for a white tail. It was taken by the cousin of a co-worker's sister's uncle's best friend's son-in-laws cousin. Reportidly it will score 2603-1/8 by B&C standards and was shot in West Rock on a really windy day around a corner at 1000 yards. The hunter said it killed a Brahma Bull, two Land Rovers and six Jehova's Witnesses over a two week period, and was reportedly winning a fight with Big Foot when it was shot. True Story!

Picture from a few years ago

Andrea posted this pic on facebook, but I wanted to share with all that aren't on facebook. Olivia is on the far left and I can't believe how much she has grown since this picture. I believe this is 3 years old, when the kids were 4.

Who Says Math is Hard??

Feeling Unappreciated at Work?

Fire In Gladstone

There was anther fire in Gladstone over the weekend. It is kind of scary, but it the second house in a couple of years to have burned down that I looked at just before I bought this house! Plus my local hang out, Lundlanders, burned down a couples years ago too! I hope it isn't some type of a string curse like the Final Destination movies! But those are just movies, but...

Christmas '09

Liv and Payton got to watch the Christmas Parade from the back of my truck. It worked out well and the people would come right to the truck and hand them the candy.

Liv took some time to relax and watch some TV on Saturday morning.

Papa Steve took some time to help Olivia with her new 'laptop.' She was excited to get the computer and is already trying to figure out how to download from the internet.

This was a gift for the girls and me alike! Good ole race track brought back memories of my Christmas!

Payton dressed up in her "My Wedding Day" Christmas gift. It has rose petals, bouquet, with dress and head gear. It is very cute, but I didn't like seeing my 3 year old in a wedding dress, that will come way too soon!

Where is Rudolph?

Players don't want to play in Green Bay!!

Well, finally I am not the only one that hates Green Bay. Looks like a good majority of the NFL players dislike it too. As much as I hear about how great the Packers are from their fans, I guess players would still rather play in Detroit and Cleveland. That makes me laugh because the Lions and Browns are the lowest winning percentage teams in the past decade!

Christmas Decorations!

Once again I got disqualified from my nieghborhood Christmas decorating contest. They say I have a bad attitude!?! I don't get it.

Halloween Carvin' and Trickin'

Olivia starte off and wanted to carve her own pumpkin all by herself. I let her at it and she did pretty well!

Payton got into the act after her bath and was really excited.

Liv is showing how proud she was of the carving she created. She even gave her pumpkin eyelashes!
Move room next the The Mona Lisa!

Scary picture of the pumpkins glowing out on the steps. OOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOO!

The only picture I could get of the two in their costumes. Liv was a vampire witch and Paypay is Dorthy from The Wizard of Oz.

What a hitch!

Here is a picture of an actual hitch I say at the OSF parking lot yesterday. I couldn't pass if up and started laughing right when I saw it. Some people are just so creative......I guess?
