Last Day of School ...Old friends. Summer and Andrew

Hi, Big Girl.

This is my mom and Michelle. Sorry it's sideways. DEAL with it.
Pumkins do grow on trees you know?!?
Oh, she looks so cute in her elmo clothes.
She makes Elmo look good in these other fashions as well.

In disguise. We have to lay low so that the paparazzi can't find her.

Team Spirit.

When Andrew played foot ball we had a lot of fun decorating the van. This is window paint and window markers. Looks pretty cool huh?
Did you guess that this was the side painting? If you did you are right. That's me painting on the back.

Huskies Banners

These are some of the banners that I painted for the team. I didn't get pictures of all of them. But they were all fun to make.

This is on of the first banners I made for the team. Kaitlyn and Justin are holding the banner. Kaitlyn has a twin brother on the team. His name is Kory. Andrew, Kory and Kaitlyn all were born on the same day, Nov. 21, 1991. Their mom's name is Denise. I miss her.
This banner says "RIP EM UP, TEAR EM UP, GIVE EM HELL, HUSKIES!!!"
This is another banner I made. See the little cheer leaders, and the balloons? This was a fun day. Bonnie is in this picture. She is the closest to the camera, on the right. She has her back to us, and she is looking to the right. Hi Bonnie.
Yes, yes, yes. This was a fun banner to make. I used green paper, so I had to paint the huskies arms and face. But I think it turned out really good. See all of the names of the players?

This is a partial of a banner that I was in the middle of. It was a team celebration banner when they were going into the finals. There was a husky for every player on the team. They all had their real numbers on their Husky or around it. And they all had their initials in the pupils of their eyes. Ill take a picture of the whole thing and put it up later.

Campimg. Fun times.

FUNNY FACES from the past.

Last Day of School 2003

Andrew and Summer.
Justy, his last day of kindergarten. Some kid I guess was his kindergarten friend
Andrew, Rachel, Matt and Justy.

Just the 2 of us.

Justin and I got away for a little camping trip without the kids. We had a really good time. It was just as Spring was beginning. There was nobody else camping, so we had the place all to ourselves. There were some trees that made a kind of wall, so at night when it was dark and we had the lantern on it made cool shadows. So we sat there and did shadow puppets and it was really fun. This is Justin getting our favorite "Mountain Man" fire pit breakfast. It has sliced potatoes, sliced onions, Jimmy Dean sausage, scrambled eggs, salt and pepper. Put it in heavy duty tin foil, throw it over a hot fire, and in about an hour you have the best breakfast ever.
Me stirring the coals.
Justin chopping wood the night before.
Yum, yum, yum. You can see a picture, you can read a picture, too bad for you, you can't taste a picture.
This is the way the whole site looked. It was so beautiful. It really complimented our love.

Bikes. Bikes. Bikes.
