Easton & Nakona

Here are the Girls- This was Kona's pose from the recital, and here is Easton sporting her big Bro's shades. She thought they were pretty cool.

Things at our house are getting busy, in the past week, we had a litter of puppies, 2 litters of baby 4-H bunnies, and a couple more litters on the way. We are thinking that with the 20 babies we have combining the first 2 litters, we ought to have plenty to choose from? Anyone want some bunny for their freezer? UGH!

As requested

Ok- Here you are Mom- Photos of Darren and I. (like 5 years ago!). We will try to get more recent ones up. This one is one of my favorite of Darren cuz he is smiling! Whoo hoo!

He took the day off today and went with Ruger for his 5th Grade field trip. They were going fishing! I told him to take lots of photos to share here!

Ruger Hip Hop Review

Ruger also had his Hip Hop review last night, luckily they were the same recital. I didn't get him "heelies" like some of the other mom's (they drive me nuts). Besides, it is hard enough to catch him anyway! So, since he didn't have heelies, he got to do a solo, he did a belly slide, and the worm, and then held this pose for over 30 seconds. Didn't move an inch! He is amazing. But, not that this is over, he can really concentrate on Baseball!

Nakona Dance recital

Nakona had her dance recital last night. You can tell from the pictures, that she hated every minute of it! HAHA! She even loved the Pink Rose she got from her brothers when it was over!

Dance & Hip Hop Pics

Ruger is taking Hip Hop this year, and Nakona is doing tap and Ballet. Ruger was pretty excited to get to wear a baseball jersey for his costume, and he had "BUG" put on the back of it,(his nickname).
Nakona is happy to be doing "balallet" (bal a lay), and tap. She also makes up her own cheer leading routines, because they have a cheer dance too!

Ruger's Braces

Ruger got Braces today! Whoo hoo! Well, Mom is excited, Ruger is not. But, hey, I LOVE those smiles, and love them even more with pretty teeth.

He got bands with his baseball colors, red and blue.

He will be a bit sore for a couple days, but it will all be worth it! It will just take some time to convince him of that!

Darrenger (aka- Rip)

Darrenger was too exited to get to play T-Ball this year.

He showed up for the first game dressed head to toe for the game. Had his own gear bag, helmet, glove (and batter's glove) and bat.

He was pretty fun to watch. Looked like he had seen a game or 2 before.

He has been practicing riding his motorbike on my lawn (grumble) And almost looks like he needs a bigger bike!

Ruger

Ruger got a new Bow, so has been practicing quite often. He is pretty good with it!
He is playing All-star Baseball again this year, and is the main catcher. I hope he will get to pitch some. He is the only kid that I have seen that can pitch with a smile on his face through the whole wind-up and throw.
We are gearing up to start rabbit 4-H, and he is getting his garden ready again! This kid can do anything!

Stetzen

Stetzen has had quite the fun year so far. He ran track, and decided to "try" a couple events part way through the year, Uh, he won them! Crazy kid.

I think he won 3 out of 4 100 yd hurdles

2 of 2 long jumps

2 of 4 100 ys dashes- Oh Yeah, he also "tried" the High jump the last meet- Won it!

and his relay team placed top 3 each meet.

He is getting ready for Babe Ruth Baseball now!

Nakona and Daisy

Nakona and her puppy Daisy.

Easton- 7 months

Little Miss Easton Jean. She is such a fun baby! She is 7 months, trying to crawl, and I think, trying to get teeth.

She is very happy and Loves being outside. She smiles ALL the time!

I'm sure she will be a handful during the baseball season!

Wrigley's online

They say it is "sooo much cooler online"- haha.

I heard that someone blogged each day about the families happenings, then printed them out and bound them in a book- Great Photo Journaling, I thought... we'll see!

We will start out with some photos, then add more later.

Keep Smiling!
