Thanks Grandma for the cute outfits!

These are the very cute outfits Grandma Barnett made for the kids. We loved having her here for so long. Thanks Grandma!

This is Brennan on his first day of school. We're so proud of him!

Brennan was surprised with a new John Deer truck for his birthday. Pops gave it a new coat of paint and made it look as good as new. Brennan had a great time driving it around the yard and figuring out the gears. He even let Kate drive it!

Brennan checks out his "engine." He is ecstatic about his new toy and drives until dark.

Brennan had a rock star rocking birthday party. He got a new guitar and lots of other fun toys. Turning four sure is a lot of fun!

Check out this bench I made for our back yard. I did most of the work but Jim's help was invaluable. It was a very fun project.

Our last trip to the zoo was a very special one. It was a reward to Brennan for being good all Sunday and church. Of course, riding the train is the best part of going to the zoo. This time we were the only ones on the train and the engineer let the kids pose for picture on the engine. I've never seen a happier boy, even if he was extremely tired.

Michael Graduates!

Last week we attended Michael's graduation from Holden High School. It was a very nice ceremony and they honored him for enlisting in the Army. He'll be leaving for basic training this summer. We are so proud of him!

All Janel wanted for Mother's Day this year was to spend some quality time with Jim and the kids. At the last minute we decided to go to Disney on Ice. None of us had been before and it was great! The kids even made it through the whole thing. Of course, we forgot to bring our camera, so this is the only picture we have. What cute kids!

Kate is looking cute as ever. Brennan and Kate are sporting new AZ shirts from grandma and grandpa.

I love this picture of Kate , but it reminds me of Nick Noltes mog shot from when he got arrested for DWI. I promise shes sober. LOL
