Here is the whole Group ready to take on the Empire.

Holloween 2008

 
 

Here are my two little ones at Holloween. Max said it was the best holloween day ever. Zach decided to go as Anakin Skywalker and Max decided to go as Darth Vader or as he calls him "Barf-Fader" We met up with a number of friends that night and made almost the whole cast of CloneWars. The weather was unusually nice so we decided to stay out kind of late. What a change from last year where we drove from house to house because we froze from the car to the door of the house. "Thank you Al Gore." I am started to come around to this Global warming thing....And I Like It.

My Global Warming Commitment! This Sucks!

I broke down and became a defender of the world not long ago. At least that is what I'm claiming. I really got it because I like the gas milage. 90 miles to the gallon. It's so much fun. I'd love to give you a ride on it if you come over sometime.

Lucy's First Day

Well I just came home from Nashville, TN and found my family with a new member of the family. Her name is Lucy and is currently a 9 week old red Lab. She loves to sit on your lap and snuggle up. I think laying in the sun will be her favorite sport although I think the boys will run her ragged as well. The trip to Nashville with the band went extremely well and it felt like only a weekend. 7 days never went by so fast.
She has one of those faces that you just want to love on. Lucy was born on May 3rd 2008.

Band Camp Instructors 2008

This was my group of great instructors that really made the camp experience a success. I truely couldn't have done it this year with out them. From left to right: Me, Dr. John Ross, Kelsey Eisenmann, Taylor Berry, Natalie Barnes, and Dan Felt. What a team.

Bee Keeping!

Zach loves science so I thought that I would hook him up with a Bee Keeper from town to learn about them. It turns out we both had a great day learning about bees and how to keep them. It was really amazing. We both got to go out and handle the bees.

While I was out there with Paul the bee keeper, I noticed a loud noise that wasn't there before. I looked up and saw a huge group of bees in a swarm. We quickly moved out and watched them. The bees flew round and round for about ten minutes like a giant bee tornado. The bees landed on this small pine tree. The brown spots on the tree and all over the picture are bees flying around. This picture was taken after shaking the larger group of bees into the bee hive. It turns out that this swarm was a wild bee swarm that just happened to be there when we were and gathered them into the bee hive. AMAZING!

Zach's Grad Day.

This was a great day for Zach
He didn't stop smiling all Day Long.
Ms. Boetcher will be missed.
