Storybook Forest

July 22, 2006 Kaitlyn and I took a trip with our friends to Storybook Forest and Idlewilde. It was great. Katie loved the big people rides. She did wonderful on them, she wasn't scared at all.

Here is Katie(Far left setting) at the three little bears table with Brandon (setting across from her) and Natalie(standing beside Brandon). Now she is going through Alices keyhole.




Best of friends, Kaitlyn and Natalie on Aladdins carpet.

July 20, 2006

Wow it has been five years since John and I wed. I can't believe we have been together so long. It feels just like it happened. We are still as much in love as the day we said I do (if not more). Well now we start to work on our 10.

Chow time

Maddie loves to eat. Here she is eatting a chicken wing. Katie is sharing her watermelon with her sister.

The big 4

Katie had a wonderful 4th birthday. Her cake was Dora and she had many friends over. She even got a trampoline for her birthday.

Mommy's helper

Maddie can crawl now and get into things.

Johns trip to California

Well on April 21 2006, John was traveling to Salina California and stopped at Amarillo, Texas at a little restaurant known as The Big Texan steak ranch. He said that if he ever made it there he would stop and try to eat the 72 oz steak dinner. Well he did and he ate it ALL!!! The meal included the famous 72 oz steak, side salad, potato, shrimp cocktail, and dinner roll. He only had an hour to eat every last bite. John did it in 59 mins and 59 secs. His name can be found at bigtexan.com.

Being rotten

Katie was being goofy one day and made her sister into batbaby. When Madison first learned to roll, no matter where she tried to go, she always went under the couch.
