New Family Member






We would like to announce the new family member, Buddy! He is a 11 week old minature dachshund. The kids are very happy to have a little dog they can hold. Sandy, our yellow lab, is now 6 1/2 years old and weighing in at 95lbs. She is not real sure about Buddy just yet.

Camping with Friends



Our family went camping last weekend at Merrisach Park. Shelby invited two other kids. They are twin sisters. We had three five-year olds and Lane!! It was loads of fun. We never heard from the kids unless they were hungry or tired. These are the best days of our lives right now! We are enjoying every minute that we have with the kids. As I look at Shelby and Lane now, I can't believe that they were both so small at birth. They have grown up so much lately. Shelby is becoming very active with school. She is making 100% on her tests. Her teacher told me that she is a perfectionist. I told her that she had been since birth. She will be singing in a patriotic program on the 19th of October. She will also be attending cheer clinic from Oct. 15-17 and then they will perform at half-time on the 19th. So, there will be more pictures to come. They are definitely a blessing from GOD!! Lane is a mess, but in a SWEET way! BOYS WILL BE BOYS!! Shelby still doesn't want to get THAT dirty!

Special Days with DAD!





Shelby and Lane enjoyed a day of taking turns riding the tractor with Keith. It was Keith's last day to work on the farm during his off season at Sanders. Lane would live on the tractor if I would let him. Keith enjoyed the day with just them one at a time. He said that Shelby talked his ears off. (I don't know where she get that from!!!) Lane had to wear his yellow boots. He would sleep in them too. That boy is something else!!!!!!!

Arkansas County Fair Days




Shelby has been keeping me VERY busy lately. The Kindergarten class went to the fair on Thursday morning. Also Thursday afternoon, since I am the Girl Scout troop leader, Keith and I put together a float for our girls to ride on during the Fair Parade. It rained the entire time, however the girls had a load of fun. They are already excited about the Christmas Parade.
