Here is Broadies 1st grade picture (7 Years old) can you believe how big he is getting ~ and he is the top of his class. He is doing really good in shcool. Very good reader, great in math, and very good in art. His favorite subject in school is of course recess (he says that is like a class:) )

We carved pumpkins today, here are some pictures of them, it was a lot of fun!! Broadie named him pumpkin scary face and mine is the vampire. Scott still needs to carve his, he is a big slacker in the pumpkin carving department but hopefully he will get time to do it soon.

New Member of Our Family

Isn't he cute. OK well we got a new puppy about a week ago. He is a Yorkie and we named him Odie. His birthday is August 11, 2007. He is really cute, although I am not enjoying the fact that he has discovered he loves to chew on my feet .... little stinker... but he is a lot of fun and a pretty good puppy... very spoiled and a mama's boy. He has a real sweet personality and loves to go outside to play. He should definitely be keeping me busy for the next little while. I am trying to potty train and kennel train him, what a task!! He tends to be a very quiet dog, he doesn't bark but he does growl when he plays :) He loves his blanket and he is really good about sleeping in his puppy bed. I decided that getting a puppy was like having a baby - only without the labor - hooray :)

Here We Go

Well I thought this would be a good way to keep everyone updated on what we are doing in our fun filled busy lives. Its hard for us all to keep in touch when we are as spread out as we are. I stole the idea from my sister-in-law (thanks Sara) so this should be a lot of fun (although I don't think I will be as good as this as she is, I will certainly try) Here are some cute pictures of us in Cali this summer when we went to the beach and Sea World. Katie got pooped on by a seagull which was definitly one of the highlights of the trip and we all got a little sun at the beach ... it was a blast and nice to get to see family there.
