Good first show

It was fun going to the high school football game tonight.   The boys, Mom Emery, and I all piled in the van to go see the first game where the band put on their halftime show.  The show was great!  The kids have a big sound with 120 in the band, and they played and marched very well.  The game was fun, too - we left when our team was up 30-0 - woohoo! 

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Today my parents celebrate many moons of marital bliss.  Woohoo!

Memorial service went well

We drove out to Arkansas to go to Sue's sister' memorial service over this weekend.  It was very nice - both of Sue's brothers came, and we took Sue's mom with us.  It was amazing to have almost all of Sue's family together, and the service went well.  Sue's cousin Dawn officiated, Sue signed a song, Megan sang a song, and Sue's brothers and sister-in-law read different things.  The whole sevice was very nice.  Afterwards the family went out to dinner, then went to Sey's house to have dessert and hang out.  For being a sad occassion it was nice to gather as a family.

Happy Birthday, Kevin!


Our youngest turns 8 today! We had a pirate birthday party for him this past Saturday and had a blast. Buried treasure that they had to hunt for, capture the flag, and roasting marshmallows over a campfire made it a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone that came and helped celebrate with us!

Sad day here

We received word today that Sue's sister Nancy killed herself today down in Costa Rica.   We are getting more details every hour and are all saddened by this.  Please for strength as our family weathers the waves this event will cause.

Happy Birthday, Dad!


My father is 71 today - woohoo! He and my mother are out in OR visiting my brother and his family, so I'm sure they will have a great time celebrating. He said something about eating mexican food and drinking margaritas! Hopefully we'll get to do the videophone thing sometime today...
