She Did It!

Nicole made 1st chair! YEAH!!!
Lots of hard work and practice paid off.
We are so proud of you!

Footie PJ's???

Ricky found this pair of footie PJ's to wear the other evening. He is busting the seams in them, but had to wear them. Nicole came down in her PJ's and the silliness began. What fun they had slipping and sliding on the floor.

Nicole Made National Honor Society!

Tuesday night, Nicole was inducted into the NHS! We are so proud of her! Mr. Mo (or Eric) is her advisor, which makes it even that much more special. The last photo is of Nicole and Brittany, who where best friends and neighbors as babies and toddlers. Brittany is a senior at the same school as Nicole and is in NHS too!

Yard Work!

Something all 5 of us hate...but a necessity! We had a beautiful day on Saturday, so we raked leaves, cut off perennials, fixed mole holes, took down the trampoline after a few last jumps till late next spring, mowed and edged the yard and put away summer stuff. It was an excellent day, until Amanda feel and hurt her back. :-( She is still moving a bit slow today. :-(

Ricky Learns to Swim!

One of Ricky's favorite things right now is his love for swim lessons. He only wishes that he was the only one in the class so he could swim all the time!

IF YOU FORGOT...

THANK YOU so much to those of you that showed up for Nicole's big bash yesterday! We are still calculating results, but so far she has received at least $750 dollars and we still have the proceeds from the sales of Avon, Pampered Chef and Partylite! We will let you know next week.

If you couldn't make it and are still interested in helping to support her trip, we are still collecting orders for Pampered Chef and Partylite thru Thursday morning. So, give her a call or quick email, and she will get you a book and an order form.

Thanks again...

Halloween 2008

Rats & Ghosts and Eyeballs and blood to drink were on the menu this year for the spooky dinner. We had a pirate, doctor, medieval princess, Goofy and Mr. Incredible for dinner. Ricky wasn't too sure about the dinner, but decided to have seconds on the rats! Rob even got an 8 hr day and was home by 6pm to eat dinner with us. It was an enjoyable evening...but we sure didn't get the trick or treaters that we have had in the past. It was a slow quiet night.

The Great Carving Event!

Ricky wasn't sure about this...but decided it was fun. He had never carved before and looked to his sisters for help. Ricky has a pirate, Nicole has Bob and Larry, Debbie the tiny pumpkin, Amanda the very happy one, and Rob has the other two. What a fun time we had.
