Superior Dairy ~ Hanford

We decided to take the train to Hanford (about 30 minutes) to get some super YUMMY ice cream from superior Dairy. The girls loved the train ride and loved talking to the conductor. 

The ice cream is home made and comes from a local dairy. It is very good and the girls love going. The ice cream scoops are HUGE!

After ice cream we went to the local library and walked around old town. The girls ended playing in the leaves before we left. looks more like fall that winter.

Lauryn's 8th and Teagan's 7th Birthday Party ~ Cal Skate

This year we had the girls birthday party together. They both decided on roller skating.  We went to the local skating rink. They each invited 10 friends. I had the bakery make the cupcake "cake" into the shape of roller skates. They turned out really CUTE! The girls loved them and so did I. I wish I hadn't been running around like crazy. There were so many pics that I wanted to take, and didn't get a chance. Everyone needed help putting on skates, changing skates, help getting onto the rink. All the girls had a blast! So here are a few of the pics I took.

Disco Jeff got into the action as well. He was the official helper on the rink for the girls.

Lauryn's Baptism

Lauryn had a great time at her baptism. We had a close babysitter give the talk, Thanks Maddie. A another good friend sang a beautiful Hymn "I Know My Redeemer Lives", extra funk remix. Her husband did a wonderful job conducting. We couldn't have done it without them. thank you.

Sequoia National Park

On Veteran's Day we had an extra off so we decided to go Kings Canyon National Park. It is truly amazing seeing these Redwoods.

This pic should be the end.

This was a tree that had been knocked down (by lightening or something) and it was made into a tunnel/shelter for when the soldiers were stationed here.

Hi HUGE!!!

this was an old cabin that was built by a general while some soldiers were stationed here.

"Where's Waldo/Amy?"

the girls were crawling into the tree base like it was a fort. They had a blast.

Clovis Cheer

Lo and Tea decided to do cheer this year. Our friend Brandy was coaching and they had a lot of friends cheering as well. They cheer for the Clovis Cowboys.

First Day of School 2008

Garfield Elementary

Ashtyn has a new kindergarten teacher (new for us) this year.

Teagan has Mrs. Riley for 1st grade (Lo had her last year.) We love her.

Lo has Mr. Carroll (Room 26) for 2nd grade, he is who she wanted for a teacher.

Teagan's Kindergarten Graduation

this is Teagan's kindergarten "Graduation". They decorate their own bonet any way they want. She chose butterflies and rainbows. My friend Shannon and I came up with a design that was hopefully "big" enough for everyone in the audience to see. We had a good time. They sang songs and walked the "red carpet" for the Hollywood theme that had been chosen for teh stage decor. This was my second year in a row. I will have my third next year. Good Times.

Spring Break in AZ

For Spring Break we went to Yuma, AZ with the Terry's. We rode in a Saint Patrick's Day Parade on a fire truck. It was so much FUN! We had green beads, candy, homemade head pieces with green ribbons. We had sooo much FUN! We swam, golfed, ate, and had a great time hanging out together.

This is our little poser Rae-Rae. She kept posing while we were hanging out in the back yard by the swimming pool. She was hilarious all day long.
