FISHING.....with Grandpa

My dad has had the tradition of going fishing the day after

Thanksgiving ever since I was a little girl....

I don't know if he has ever missed a year.
He is such a good sport and takes along any of the grandkids who want to tag along!
This year Eric got to go - and I KNOW he is soooo happy he got go!
check out the pics and you'll see why:
(thanks dad, Randy, and Britton for the pics!

It was soooo cool to get the pics on my phone when Eric caught his fish!)

ONE OF OUR NOVEMBER BIRTHDAYS: Mr. J

One of the things Jason LOVES to do is to go to the skate park!
And, I have to say he is pretty good....

Birthday Girl: Nicole

Nicole had a birthday last month.....
We are soooo grateful she is part of our family!


Nicole's b-day happened to be the same day as the HS HOMECOMING....

so, that is why there is lots of blue: blue clothes, blue hair, paw prints, etc.
these pix are from her little school party....

first with her Bros. Ryan & Jason, some with her classmates, and her teacher, Mrs. Read


then after school Lauren & Maria came over!

We went swimming at John's Hot Springs!

GOOD TIMES

AND

GOOD FRIENDS!

Eric: Cross Country

We had a fun time watching Eric at

several of his Cross Country Meets this year!

He did GREAT -

and finished up the year earning the award of MVP "Most Points Earned"

I am proud of him for how well he has done

and for how much he has enjoyed it.

He finished up at the district meet in 24th place out of around 200 boys!

That wasn't as good as he had hoped for, but, I thought it was pretty amazing!
