Halloween 2009

Is it a harmonica playing orthodox jew....

Could it be a guy from Men In Black.......

No one guessed what Stirling was at the ward fall festival, which we thought was strange; he's obviously a Blues Brother, right?!?

As for me, sadly I couldn't find my trusty clown wig and hat and so I didn't have a costume )-:

Perhaps it's time for me to find a new costume?

Boy Scout Camp 2009

Stirling's boy scout troop went to Lost Pines for their camp week this year. (yes believe it or not, there are pine trees in Texas) Here he is with most of his troop getting ready to take off.

Here he is at the end of the week long camp; tired & dirty but satisfied that a good time was had by all!

Padre Island 7/11/09

Two cool dudes on the beach . . .

Three hours from SA and we are on a mini vacation. My boss sent us to Padre Island for some R&R to say thanks for a job well done. I love my new job, and obviously the boys are enjoying the the fringe benefits too!!!

Yes, Doug is still sporting his beard; much to my dismay.... but everyone else seems to like it!

Destiny's Crazy-Fun Idea

Last Friday, Destiny took Lyndon and I roller skating. The picture above shows me 'skating' using my 'cat like reflexes'. Even though I fell a lot, It was lot of fun!

Fairly Odd

Not this past weekend but when we went down before, I helped Mom make a "fairy godmother" costume for YW... here is what we came up with.

And of course we all had to try it out!

I think this is a good one to show his girlfriend!
You would have thought being the princess that she is, Maddie would have loved it... not so much!
Lyndon tried it on several times... we'll save this for blackmail later.

No one was safe...
not even Kizco, in case you were worried that we didn't embarrass her enough!

Kid and Cake by Dad

This says by Dad because he made the cake and of course let Lyndon lick the icing, but I was the one taking the pic of the cake and focused it on the cake itself not realizing until later how funny Lyndon was sitting behind it covered in chocolate icing!  Classic :)

Cason on his blessing day (this was in the morning and the sun hadn't come out yet, sorry the lighting wasn't ideal, but he was  really cute!)

We tried to get some of the three grandkids...
