Kaitlin's Diorama

She wanted to do one about hornets. We used model magic for the adult which worked very well and was easy to use, much better than play dough.

The Golden Child

Braden had his golden birthday this year so we tried to make it special.



from Mike's parents

from my parents

from us - Transformers in blu-ray

from us - mp3 player. He loves it and is always asking for new songs.

my dad made the cupcakes...yum

make a wish

Kaeleigh liked the cupcakes

I think the thing Braden looked forward to the most was movie night with his buddies. We had Devan and Taylor come with us to see...

Taylor. Braden. Devan. Kaitlin

the three stooges

Kaeleigh wouldn't stop eating our popcorn

It was a fun night.

Nebraska State Fair

Sorry a few of these pictures are sideways...can't figure it out. Anyway, We enjoyed the fair with our friends again and it was a fun day for all of us.


Kaitlin and Sally (Katie absolutely loves her)

I called this guy Lightning McQueen...Vroom

Braden's favorite

I hope the artist didn't cut any other kinds of cheese inside that box...maybe that's why he's not there anymore. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The gang's all here... minus 3 people. Sad you couldn't join us Bev, Christa and Grandad. :-(

Horse to Kaitlin..." I said you may NOT pick my nose, little girl"

This little lamb wanted to see how good she tastes.

Whoa Nelly...I mean...Daddy!

This one sounded like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

A couple of old timers

Kaitlin and Sally joint at the hip again...so cute :)

How did The Cable Guy get here? He's from Nebraska isn't he?... no really it's just a farmer.

Here pig, pig, pig.

Farm team award ceremony. Not a bad show, just too hot inside the building.

Labor Day = Family Time

We waited till the evening to have a picnic at the park. It was just too hot to go out any earlier. Braden wanted to go to Ta-Ha-Zu-Ka park because of the tank and skatepark. Very Patriotic
Strike a pose....Vogue

On the menu :- hot dogs, meat, chips/crisps, watermelon, pop and dippin'dots. We packed up the Jeep while Braden skateboarded.
He watched the big boys at the skate park and decided not to have a turn.
The parking lot was good enough.
