The catch-all post with accompanying picture dump!

Kasey and Mason at the zoo a few months ago



Staring at the buffalo




riding the turtles!



Karly was in the play Bye-Bye Birdie and we were good parents and gave her flowers, she sang and danced up a storm!

OK, so this is Karly's first date, which also happened to be prom.  DJ wasn't letting a golden chance like this pass him by, so we were hard-pressed to get pics of just the happy couple, though we did finally manage one or two.  Karly later forbid DJ from making an appearance at her official birthday party - "Mom, he has to be the center of attention and that should be me at my party!"  True enough, he was banned.



Just cute!




The happy couple




OK, so this is just precious - Karly sprained her ankle at girls' camp and was icing it.  Mason just had to have an owie to ice just like Karly.  He likes his Karly, and somewhat distubingly, loves her shoes.  Jim tries to ignore the shoe tendencies - although it is only Karly's shoes, so there is still hope.




Happy Birthday!!!  She was home for a week before going back to school.  We did lots of shopping, it's her birthday, right??





Mason has started playing with his little ball and bat, which unfortunately requires that someone throw the ball to him to hit for hours daily.  He is getting pretty darn good, which is a relief....see caption above about shoes.




Preston had to go and Karly wasn't ready for 'first day of school pictures'.  Too bad, if you look closely you will see that she has no makeup on - horrors!!!



A little better, a seventh grader and a junior!!

Riding his spiffy brand new bike to school early in order to gethis locker in order, let's hope this lasts!



OK, now she's happy!




Off to preschool/daycare and loving his new sweatshirt.




Ummm....cute or what?
