WALL FAMILY

Kirk and Rylee both have birthdays in July.    We didn't do much for Kirk on his birthday, he just wanted to relax but we did make him a dinner a cake and gave him lots of kisses...  Rylee on the other hand wanted a party, of course!  We had to wait til the weekend for the party but we celebrated on his birthday at home.  He also got to pick his dinner and we made him a cake.  Plus...Presents!!!  Rylee chose to do a bowling party again so we invited some friends and family. The kids at one point got them to turn on the disco lights and music and they were dancing.  I didn't get a great photo of it, here is the best I have...  Grandparents came too!  Grandma Teri made this army helmet cake for him. He really enjoyed his birthday and the party!    And here is his official BIRTHday... Wow, how long ago that seems!

Hanging out at the park with some friends!  These kids have been friends forever.  We met their family in 2005.  The two youngest were born 4 weeks apart and have known eachother their whole entire lives! Pictures of them all in the past...  

This month is usually pretty busy in the way of holidays and birthdays in our family.  On the 8th was Easter and a friends birthday.  The 9th was my parents anniversary, they have been married 35 years I think!  On the 10th it was mine and Kirk's anniversary, number 14 for us!  On the 11th it was Jordan's 16th birthday and a couple friends' birthdays as well.  On the 26th it was my dad's birthday and the 29th it was Kirk's mom and Jammie's birthday too!  I'm pretty sure I am missing something in there too, that's alot to remember!  Happy Easter, Anniversary and Birthday to everyone! My friend Carla graduated from Nursing School this month and I am so proud of her!  She worked so hard and made it!  Carla, you did a great job!! Here are some pictures of her graduation.  I wish I could have gone.  Congratulations! This rainbow was shining down right on the roof of my work...too bad there really isn't a pot of gold at...

Kirk Loves Camping...even if it's in the winter!  Kirk and his friend Taylor decided to go snow caving up in the mountains.  They dug and dug for hours until they had a big enough area for both of them to sleep in.  It turned out great and they were both pretty comfortable (yet maybe a little cold) .  Kirk came home with some major muscle aches from all that digging but he had alot of fun.  He says maybe one day he will get me to go with him, I told him only if the cave is ready to go before we get there!!                            

November update.... (Except the first couple pictures from October that I had to share!) At the end of October we went to a pumpkin patch and Fall Harvest celebration.... November... We had quite a bit of snow for November...we usually don't start getting this much until December. It has also been getting EXTRA cold!! This is what my kids and some of their friends were doing when it was 11 degrees outside (Rylee doesn't need dirt to play with his tractors, he has lots of white stuff!) ... This is one cold morning when I was taking the kids to the school bus. Bright sparkly snow and thick fog on the mountain... Dylan's Birthday and Thanksgiving... Dylans birthday fell on the day before Thanksgiving so we had a family day together, presents and a requested turkey dinner! He spent the following weekend having a sleepover with 4 of his friends and he had a blast!! On Thanksgiving day we went to Gary, Teri and Shane's house for dinner. Then Teri made Dylan a footbal...

As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting anything lately. Well it's because my poor camera died :( So any pictures I have right now are cell phone pictures which we all know are not the best. I'm not exactly sure what happened to my camera but I think it started with this day..... Kirk was out of town so the boys and I went to my friends house and we had a sleepover...yep! Well they live in a really pretty area and I wanted to capture the fall colors. It wasn't the best time of day to get good fall colors but it was a great time to possibly burn up the lens (or something) on my camera with shots like these.... (Never really knew this wasn't the best idea) Well the other possibility is that my sweet little Rylee "borrowed" my camera and took LOTS of pictures of EVERYTHING...Me, Jen, the dog, rocks, etc., and accidently broke it. Who knows?! It could have just been getting old too. I still was able to get a cute picture of Rylee and his friend Paige ...
