Michael and Cliff do a demostration every year at the park. Here is a video of their event this year! He had a little mishap with his door opener, got it fixed though! It is always enjoyable and Cliff always amazes us! Fun! Fun!

School News

Once again these kids amaze us!!! Last school year Abby was voted to be the student council president for this year. This year Kailee was selected to be a 4th grade class representative!! So they are both on student council this year! THEN.... all the student council members vote for a vice president (a 4th grader, since the president is a 5th grader) and guess what! KAILEE WON!! So we have have the President and Vice President!!!!!!!!! It should be interesting!!! They are both very excited and think it is funny!! They are so cute!! What fun we are having! Cole is LOVING school!! So things are going great for them!

On September 11th, the school did a flag raising little ceremony to honor the day. Abby got to be the one to raise the flag. Here are some pictures of her!

Birthday Boy!

Star Wars was the theme this year.....Cole turned 6!
He had a pool party with his friends from church and some family came for the day to celebrate! It was pretty hot, but the kids stayed cool in the pool or on the water slide! I think most of the parents watched from inside!! He's already lost 3 teeth and is certainly growing up! No more babies around here! (if you click on the photo you can see it up close)

1st day of Kindergarten!!

Last week Cole started Kindergarten!! He is loving it! The girls are in 4th & 5th grade. They look so grown up at school, since they are the Older ones there now! I can't believe that ALL of our kids are in school!! It is kind of sad for mom & dad, but we are very pleased that everyone is doing well and loving it! Wow how time flys! Abby is the Student Council President this year, and Kailee is hoping to join student council this year also!

Going to the Game!

We took the kids to watch the Cubs play! Cole has become a very big fan watching the Cubs play baseball with Daddy! So, Michael bought tickets for all of us to go watch them play the Diamondbacks in Phx. We all had new Cubs shirts to wear for the game! Unfortunately the Cubs lost, but we enjoyed the time together and Grandma & Grandpa came to root for the other team! The kids had so much fun at the ball field and the atmosphere there!

Time Flys When We're Having Fun!

Our Summer has been so fun and so busy! We've been visiting with lots of family and enjoyed every minute of it! We've hardly been home this summer!! I didn't take very many pictures, so our summer slide show isn't very long! We went camping a few times, once in the white mountains along the black river. It was awesome, we camp right on the river and had such great weather! The fishing is so nice, the kids have become great fishermen..and fishergirls! Our evening camp fires were memorable and of course had the usual marshmallow fights, the kids LOVE THAT! We also camped in Williams and enjoyed a little rain one day!! A family from Havasu joined us there and brought a dirt bike, my kids had never rode one, but soon got the hang of it! Had a great time!! We enjoyed some visits with the cousins, wish we had more time together! The kids enjoy each other so much!!

Spring Time

The past few months have been some busy ones for us! Trying to catch you up on what we've been up to...posting some pictures from all we've been doing! The girls played basketball in Feb. - a new sport for them! They loved it! It was a short season, but that's ok because it was on to Softball in March! They are on the same team this year, that is so awesome! They are doing so well, it is so awesome to watch them advance! Cole gets to play baseball for the first time! He plays t-ball & is LOVING it! He can't wait until his next practice or game! True athletes! They are busy with school and all that they do there! Another school year coming to an end! WOW - how the year flys by! This is our busy season for our business, so Michael is working 2 full-time jobs around here! And I am just trying to keep up with everyone and make sure they all get where they need to be ..... ON Time! Ha

The Police Dept. holds an annual "Family Day", it includes an egg hunt for the kids, lunch and an awards ceremony to recognize the awesome accomplishments our devoted Officers achieve each year! This year Michael was a recipient! He was presented a Lifesaving Award for pulling a man out of a house that was fully engulfed with fire! It was an honor and another proud moment!

God is so good to us, we have been so blessed this year, and continue to look forward to what's in store!

March adventure

In the middle of March was the girls' spring break! We took our new 5th wheel and went camping! We stayed around here where it was warm and camped about 30 miles from home. It was a great time with some of our friends! Cole learned to ride a 2-wheeler and they played baseball everyday! The boys climbed the mountains around us! BOYS!!

The following Sunday was Easter! We spent the weekend with Kim & Susan! It was such a nice time! Here are the kids in their new Easter outfits! Went shopping with Grandma!!

February Birthday's

February was a busy month for us! We had very special Birthday's! Kailee turned 9 this year! And Michael turned the BIG 30! We planned a great surprise party for him, and he really was Surprised!!!! It was a great time! All of his family came and most of mine! We had a great crowd to wish him another wonderful year!

Christmas

December 2007

December was such an incredible month! We had so much going on and so many blessings! The girls we so busy at school, involved in their school Christmas play and Abby in choir too! All 3 of them were also in our church Christmas play, which was great, but none of the pictures turned out very good. Abby & Kailee were ballerinas, so adorable! Cole had a few parts..he was a toy, Theodore chipmunk, and a donkey! And Kailee sang a solo, Oh Holy Night. We are so proud of all 3 of them! I was busy finishing a few classes I had taken this fall, and Of Course getting ready for Christmas... and Michael, well he was searching for a new RV! He traded in our travel trailer for something new...a 30ft - 5th Wheel....days before Christmas we brought it home! So, of course we pulled it up to Williams and stayed in it at my parents house. We spent Christmas with our families in Williams...it was GREAT! All of my sisters were home together, what a great time! God is so GOOD! And of course all the Fuller's, Dent's & Brown's we had a great time together! What an awesome family! The kids loved every minute of it, even went ice skating while we were up there! Now it's back to the norm...if we ever know what that is!!
