Crazy Hair Day

Crazy hair day at school. Trying my best to get Damen's fine hair to stay sticking up. Lots of gel and hairspray :) Aren't we cute!

With their best friends from across the street.

Family Picture

We finally got a up to date family picture taken. Courtney (13), Dillon (12), Nikki, Boo, Quinn (15)

Dillon, Devin, and Damen trying on some Asian hats at the store in the mall

Uncle Shane pretending that he is Confucious :)

Birthday's

Dillon's dessert that he got on his 13th birthday at Sanford's. It was a huge cookie with 3 different scoops of ice cream plus cool whip. He did share :) Seven-layer cake ~ we had to have the day after his birthday as we were so full from dinner and the big cookie we couldn't do any more dessert.

Quinn's 16th birthday

Quinn and Devin trying to see how much they could get in their mouth. DISGUSTING!

First Day of School

Devin going into 4th grade and Damen going into 2nd grade I think Damen was quite excited to get going to school

Quinn going into 10th grade and Dillon going into 7th grade.

This is Quinn's first year in high school and Dillon's first year in Jr. High. They both did great considering these new schools are so much bigger than their old ones :)

Devin and the Hummingbird

This hummingbird comes around about every night. Devin decided that he wanted to see how close he could get to it. I was surprised that he could get this close :)

Welcome Signs

Had to get some pictures as we went through some states.

The kids did so well in the car! The entire trip, not including all the side trips, was 21 hours in the car. We had movies going, game boy's, Nintendo DS games, crossword puzzles, soduko, it kept them all entertained.

We took the trolley around the NASA grounds to go to the training facility. Was pretty interesting to see all the items they use for training ~ life size shuttle, the ARM, space suits, etc.

Cadillac Ranch

On our way through Texas we stopped outside of Amarillo at the Cadillac Ranch. The kids had fun spray painting the cars and it was a perfect chance to get out of our car for a stretch.
