At Granny's

This was two years ago (around the 4th of July) when Mike's sister brought her family up for some time with Grandparents. 

Boy and Dog

Isn't she cute when she's groomed well ?

Currently

And this is how we all look now-a-days...

We spent the Monday before Thanksgiving 2010 at Guadalupe River State Park with my sister, Brandy, and her family. It was amazingly warm and pleasantly deserted. More pictures to follow, eventually.

Flashback...

I thought I may as well post some REALLY old photos (late 2005, early 2006) since I haven't posted in a LONG time...

When my Stockton was in kindergarten, right after we moved here.

What beautiful little boys; too bad they have to start fake smiling in every photo as they get older!

Mama's sweet little pumpkin!

We still love Guadalupe River State Park!

The fountain in front of the temple.

On the gulf...maybe Corpus?

Stockton's kindergarten class had face-painting as part of their study of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"

\Caleb's clothes had a tendency to fly off his body when he was 2 and 3...hence the "Stay Dressed"...

We Have Molly !!!!

Meet the newest addition to the family !

Baseball

These are pics from caleb's baseball games

Molecule (Molly)

                                                                Molly 6 Weeks Old

Mom's 37th

Yesterday was the 37th. Of Brithdays that is, yep yesterday was moms 37th.The Cheesecake was awesome. And I think she really liked her presents.

Flooding In Texas ???

On the night of noodles (scout pasta) our backyard was flooding !! So where the Hall's yard but this is all about the Harker's right ?? But anyways the Hall"s yard was actually flooding more than ours so maybe a little is about them so look for it in the pics I posted

(Ours #1)
(The Hall's #2)

Say Candy!...... Candy!!!!!!

cracking cascarone on dad's head

Easter was great!! I think Caleb likes it the most.But I don't think he likes the stomach ace.

Caleb's 7th

Caleb's 7th b-day was a blast. And the cake we got from Wal-Mart was surprisingly good. Caleb LOVES the Guitar and all the presents he got. And the Piñata was a blast.

Swim Lessons 2009

Miss Joni is still the BEST! Again, we were so lucky to get in a session with her. These pics are from the last day of lessons. Caleb is holding the coins Miss Joni placed in the pool as a treat for the kids to dive for on their last day. After lessons, we dried them off and they changed into their traveling clothes in the car as we headed off on our trip to see family and friends in NM, UT, and WY.

A Happy One We Know

Stockton's 9th Birthday...

As requested, his mom made a chocolate fudge cake filled with Ben & Jerry's Brownie Batter ice cream, frosted with fudge (not fudge icing, but actual fudge). Good, but I'm guessing it won't be a repeated request...then again, maybe it will be...with the substitution of regular frosting...

Imagine That

Not Mike's 3rd B-day, but his 36th... The bottom of the 6 that anchored it to the cake fell off (as mentioned at the end of the first video.)

and... for your enjoyment, a little pre-cake karaoke...

Random Spring-time Fun

Though Caleb voted that his soccer team be called the "Mighty Mighty Meats," (Caleb is a mighty mighty fan of eating meat) the rest of the team voted for "Tigers."





















Stockton was home-schooled for the last few months of the school year. Most Fridays, we conducted a science experiment. A few weeks before St. Patrick's day, we made plastic and formed it into a shamrock and attached a pin so it would be donnable. Later we painted it green for the lucky holiday.

Spring Break

We spent a day of Spring Break at Guadalupe River State Park with our neighbors.

Here Beate and I are taking photos of each other.
















I won!
