Evil Kaneviel

Who says that there can't be another Evil Kaneviel. I am not sure what our boys on the street are going to do once all of the houses are finished on our street. They love to play in the dirt, make "mixtures", build forts and make ramps for their bikes with the brick and wood. I believe that Ashton has 9 lives. It is unbelievable what he can do without getting hurt.

Plaza Softball Game

Every year Plaza Medical Center has a day of softball. Each departement develops a team and we play against each other. It is really good for the relationships between coworkers. We all have a really good time.

Soccer

Ashton has really enjoyed playing soccer this season. He is really fast and not a bad player for his first year. He wants to play again over the winter. His good friend Bradley that lives across from us play on the same team.

Camping at Joe Pool Lake Oct.

We went with the Field family camping for the weekend. Our camp site was on the water. The kids had a great time playing in the water. We had a great time.

Redneck and Texas Football

This is how Texans watch football. They bring their own chair to the event. Mark and Bryan really enjoyed the game and they also enjoyed my comment about "OT" that I made. Please keep in mind that I am not a football fan.

Soccer....Ashton really wanted to play soccer this year. Bradley (Ashton's friend, our neighbors) are on the same team. After the first week of practice Ashton said, "it's a good thing our team has us" he doesn't lack self esteem. He and Bradley are really enjoying themselves and we are enjoying all of the energy it gets out of them. 

"Date Night"

We all know how important a date night is for mommy and daddy. We have been blessed with a very good sitter that lives across the street from us. Kalee has a heart for the Lord and loves to serve. When their family comes over for dinner I have to remind Kalee to go play after dinner or I will find her sweeping the floors. She has been a God delivered angel to our family.

Ethan's First Day of School

God has been so good. Ethan has been accepted into the TALK program for the public school sysetm. He goes on Tues. and Thurs. morning. The bus picks him up at our door and drops him off. Ms. Jamie is one of his teachers. She is a christian and has been wonderful to Ethan. Ms. Jamie goes to church with one of our friends. One of Ethan's best friends is in his class. Sydney and Ethan go to church together and love playing together. We thought this would be good for Ethan o have someone that he knows in his classroom with him. Please notice his hair. He loved to have his hair done just so, and then do not dare to touch it.

Ashtons 1st day of School 8/9/06

Wow... school already... 3rd grade already.... Ashton was really excited about his first day. Mark and I both took him to shool this morning. He came home really excited about his new teacher.

Ethan

Beating the Texas heat!

While Daddy works in the backyard the boy enjoy themselves in the fort and making their own slip N slide.

National Night Out

Is there a better way of spending National Night out??? Our community had a party at the pool. We decided that we would spend it in the pool.

Sled riding in Texas at 107 degree

Who says that you cant sled ride in Texas. The best part of buying something new that is very large is the box that it came in. The kids had a blast sledding down the back yard. Ashton always takes things to another level. He enjoyed skateboarding on the large pieces of cardboard.

Installing our outdoor kitchen

What would we have done if Charlie would have been at work???? Mark and Charlie worked on both of their outdoor kitchens for 3 days. They prepared for the concrete, poured it, leveled it and the finished product is yet to come.

This is our last long weekend before school starts. We went to San Antonio. On our way we stopped at a cavern that was really nice. In San Antonio we went to Sea World which was really nice. We also went to Schliterbaun which is very over rated. And the best part of the trip for mommy was the shopping at the outlets in San Marco. Wow... I had a blast. We went with our friends that live across the street from us. Our families had a great time together.

Ashton at Camp Sooner Church Camp

Mr. Neil was God sent for Ashton.... Mr. Neil was Ashton's counselor at camp. Ashton did not want to come home. He did not brush his teeth or take a shower for the 3 days that he was there. Maybe next year he will remember to do that...

Turner Falls

We enjoyed our stop at Turner Falls on our way to take Ashton and Bradley to Church Camp. The boys really enjoyed the water.

Ethan and McKenzie: McKenzie is our new neighbor. Ethan gets really excited when McKenzie comes over to play. They have a really good time together. Only one problem... they both want to be the boss.....

Go Rangers!!! We have been enjoying the professional sports that Fort Worth has to offer. These pictures are from a Family Game night for our church. Mark planned this as an outting for our church. There were 50 people there from our church.

We have really enjoyed the pool in our subdivision. Mark takes the boys everyday and some days 2 times. He so willingly takes several of the other children on our street. It sure is nice on a hot Texas day.
