The First Day of School!

Today was the first day of school for Calvin & Luke. Calvin started 5th grade and Luke started Kindergarten.

Calvin didn't want us to walk him to his classroom. In fact he was walking way ahead of us. I told him he had to stop at the corner and wave or I was going to walk him to the classroom and hug him goodbye. Needless to say I got a wave!! Luke is a much more willing subject.

And not to the point he get embarrassed by his parents (YET!)

Luke & Mommy!!

Daddy & Luke!!

My baby's in school!!! :(

A Week Full Of Fun!

This was our second week of vacation time with Trevor and Kaleb. I had jury duty in Pendleton. The guys all decided to come with me and just hang out there till I was done. So they played at the park.

Luke & Kaleb just hanging out!

Playing on the tire swing!

This used to be one of my favorite things. I could spin for hours!!

Looks like Luke's doing fighting stunts for a movie!

Thursday we went to a Dust Devil's minor league baseball game.

The boys posed for a picture with Dusty, the mascot.

The boys all got to be "Player Buddies" and run out on the field with one of the players as they were being announced.

Kaleb & Luke with the pitcher.

Calvin ran out with the catcher.

Trevor got to take the pitcher the game ball.

It was way too cool and the boys all LOVED it!!

Fun on the River.

Sunday was HOT! So we went down to the Columbia and played. It was much cooler down there and breezy!

Kaleb - getting ready for the water gun fight!

Trevor - filling up!

Luke - doing his own thing!

Calvin - riding the waves.

We tied our selves to the floaties and rode the waves as they came in.

Luke swam out to play with us!

Dad & Kaleb buried Trevor! He begged for it, I promise!!

This is the man I love!!!

Isaac & Charity Dotson

This Saturday our family expanded. My cousin Catherine's son, Isaac, got married. It was a beautiful ceremony for a wonderful couple!

Our little "G.Q." Luke.

We happen to know the Photographers, and stood in some good lighting, so we got our picture taken too.

County Fair

Friday we went to the County Fair. Calvin had entered some pictures into the Photography Secetion. He was awarded 2 Second Place and 1 Third. Way to go Calvin!!

The proud photographer!

Daddy & Luke getting ready to go into one of the exhibit halls.

I think we need a new pet. The boys all want a puppy.

I want a kitty! I think this one will do!!

Luke found a pony just his size.

Calvin found a hungry goat.

Here is Calvin & I waiting in line to ride a ride.

Just kidding!!

It wasn't a roller coaster. For those who know me that's not a surprise. I just can't quite trust the carnival folks with my life!!

I think we've entered those"moody" years. Does this look like a kid is on a ride??!!

Calvin & Dad getting ready to ride the "Ring of Fire"!

That's them up at the top! Really it is!!

Luke thought he'd like this ride. But he didn't.

The fair was lots of fun. Much better weather the the last few years. Not as hot!!

Disneyland!!

Oma & Popa Bud got us all tickets to Disneyland for our birthday's. And then we all went together when we were down in California on vacation.

Getting ready to go in!
