Caden's Little Girlfriend


Evidently she has is quite enamored with Caden, and talks about all the stuff he does. Looks like the feelings may be mutual.

It's Basketball Season

Collin is playing basketball at FBC Frisco. It's a Christian based league called Upward and he really likes it. He usually scores a basket or two per game, but came up short today. He takes a lot of shots, some from pretty far out. If your sitting anywhere behind the goal, you better pay attention.

The Torture

Here is the result of 1-1/2 hours of torture. This is not the image we are going to use for our Christmas Cards this year.

Rock Star


Caden is entering his rock star phase. He likes his hair spiked. He loves playing guitar hero and rock band. Or just strumming on a play guitar. Maybe he'll make it to the top and support his mom and dad.

Vacation Update

Sorry no pictures - those will come shortly.

This was by far the easiest plane ride to date (except for waking up at 5:00am for a 7:55am flight). All three kids were no trouble. Madison watched a movie, Collin and Caden played on the Nintendo gameboy and Nintendo DS. Kerry and I were able to watch the movie on the plane because the kids were so easy. We didn't have to bribe with candy like we usually do.

We are having a great time in California. The kids are wearing themselves out every day. We've been swimming at the pool twice and once at the ocean. The kids love the diving board. Collin will try twists and one attempt at a flip/cartwheel. Caden jumps fearlessly and looks so excited when he launches.

The beach was so much better than last year. We started at a beach inside a harbor that was protected - no waves. It was nice and peaceful. And the kids got bored. So we went a few miles away and parked at crowded beach with rocks on the shore and lots of surfers. Much more exciting with the waves. Madison and Caden spent a lot of time sitting and letting the waves wash over them. They also collected rocks. For some reason all of my kids have a fascination with rocks. And we built a small sand castle.

In the evenings we are riding skateboards and shooting basketball. The kids either ride 3 wide on three skateboards, or sometimes will all sit on the same board holding on tightly to each other. The road is blacktop and their hands and feet get very messy.

The neighbors have let us use their basketball goal. At it's shortest settings, Collin is getting pretty accurate. Madison does well for herself and Caden made it through the hoop once, but backwards. Still counts in our book.

The five of us are all staying in one bedroom and so far it's worked out just fine. The kids are so worn out at the end of the day they are sleeping good and not waking up too early. Kerry and I sleep in the big bed, the kids on air matresses on the floor. It's been so nice outside we can leave the windows open all night and enjoy the cool breeze.

Tomorrow we are heading up to Big Bear for a couple of days in the mountains and will spend the night with Kerry's aunt. That will make for a full house.
