Weston's New Obsession



Ok, so Weston now has a new obsessive hobby. Kiting! Year round abandonment! If there is ever any wind around we can count on Weston to be calling up Kyrk and heading off to chase the wind. He has so much fun doing it I can't really complain about him leaving, too much. I don't have any pics of him with his new kite (It's purple ;) ) But I do have some of him during the winter up on the skyline. He found out about this "amazingly fun sport" while we were on vacation to the Dominican Republic a few years ago. He took a couple lessons while we were there, and had a lot of fun. But, he didn't really think too much about it until Kyrk got into it about a year ago, and needed someone to go with him. Weston was more than willing to oblige! So now he spends any of his free time that he possibly can down at the lake. I was hoping that the weather would stay warm a little longer so that I could get a few pics during the summer (I usually don't get to go watch, I'm usually home with the kids), but I don't think it's going to happen. There's always next year :)

Paige's 8th Birthday




For Paige's birthday party with her friends she wanted to go to Build-A-Bear, with her friends. So we borrowed Grandma's van, and off we went! The girls each got to pick a "friend" to build. Zoie of course has to be the odd man out and picked a puppy, while everyone else chose a bear. They played games and got to pick out clothes for their bears. Afterwords they went to the park, and had pizza and opened presents. Paige said that it was her "Best birthday Ever!".

Here We Go....

Ok, so Heidi has informed me that we need to "Jump onto the Blogging Bandwagon", so to speak. I'm not sure how exciting we are, but we'll give it a go.
