Hoola-Hooping with Wii!

We purchased the new, get off the couch TV game - Wii Fit!

It really is very active and fun. We have spent just as more time laughing and 

competing with all the fun things it has to offer as we have burning calories.

The pictures are of my mom hoola-hooping and then running in the park.

Its a great family excercise experience!

Danielle's High School Graduation

Well, the day has come for us to celebrate---

it is Danielle's High School Graduation!

She has really worked hard and made it to this special day. 

She shares this accomplishment with her cousin - Kevin.  They both wore their Christmas green cap and gown, sweated in the morning heat, yawned through the 400+ names called across the stage and then, the tossing of the tassle! Yee ha!

That evening, the whole family celebrated with a Fiesta party.

Nancy did a super job with all the decorations and the food - which we had enough to feed a small army! The Pinatas were a hit!  (He!He!)

What a wonderful day! What a wonderful achievement! Congratulations!

We are all proud of you and love you very much!

The New Addition

All parents share the bittersweet thoughts of when their own children have that "little one" responsibility. Well, we have had our first preview of the "grand" thing. Yes, Brittney has made us proud and his name is Deacon. I can't really tell you the story about how he got his name, but it seems to fit. He's cute! We find her cleaning up his messes - yes, all types of "messes" and we have to proudly smile. Welcome to the family!!
