Photographer Shelby

Shelby is the little photographer of the family!! She goes around snapping pictures of everything. I think she is amazing and does such a great job. Her favorite thing to photograph is flowers. Here are a few samples of what I like to call her "art work":) Enjoy!!

Nathan's 1st Day at FBC 8/28/07

For the first time in his life (and maybe the last lol) Nathan LEAPED out of bed this morning! I didn't even have to enter his room. He heard me in the hall and before I got close to his door I heard him say.. "I have to start my day" then leaping out of his bed he hit the floor and all I saw was a flash of boy racing to the bathroom to take a shower! He was very excited to be going to school! He put on his uniform and went down stairs to wake Shelby up to ask her how he looked!!! She being the good sister she is mumbled under her breath and told him to go away!! OF course I had to take pictures of this momentous occasion (which he did not like, but who cares I'm the mom and had to do it) After he ate and did his chores, we left a little early so I could stop and get him a 1st day of school surprise coffee! THAT made him smile all the way to school. Now when we got to school and he was walking in he totally played it cool. He acted as if it was no big deal and he had to be trying hard to keep the smile off his face that had been there all morning (teenagers!!!!) So here is a picture of my handsome 13yr old Nathan on his first day of 8th grade at Faith Baptist Academe

Family day at Manito Park

Saturday we went to Manito Park. It was

beautiful and the kids had lots of fun. Shelby was the photographer for the day and she took lots of great pictures. We also went to Riverfront Mall and then to Burger King. It was a wonderful day! ( I

should say it was an almost all family day... Nathan wasnt with us. He got to spend the night with his good

friend John they camped out over the weekend and he said that it was the BEST

sleepover of all time!! )

Jaocb Starts K3

We actually started last week but I havent been on the computer to add any new blogs. This was his first days work. He learned the letter A and the #1. He can tell you that the letter A says a as in Apple A says a.. a.. a :)

Family Fun Night & Fireworks

Saturday was a "Clue" marathon! We played on and off all day. So of course right before bed the kidos wanted to play one more time ( i had beat their pants off all day!!) So we get into the game and started to hear what I thought were shots but it was just fireworks. Close to our house was a parade and they ended it with fireworks. We went outside and it looked as though they were right above our garage!! It was AWESOME! The kids love it! It was a perfect night! Except I didnt win the last game. Larry did! (He has a good game face..scary actually) Here are a few pics of the Fun that we had!!
