Tyler's Nature blog

Ty's started a blog to let friends follow some of his outdoor discoveries. Should be fun! The link is on the right.

One for my dad

My dad spent a good deal of his childhood in New Zealand where he learned the Haka (a Maori war dance), and became a big All Blacks fan (rugby team). Us kids have great memories of my dad dancing it in the living room, we loved it! Don't ask why, I just don't know, but here are the All Blacks doing the Haka prior to the start of a game. It's awesome!

Our Graduate

Next week Trey graduates from preschool. A whole 5 years old, he can't wait to start kindergarten.

The Flap Jack Kids Race

Race #2. This time Tyler came in 3rd for his age group, and Peyton 2nd in his. Trey was one of the fastest little kids and Bailey looked a little more sporty than last time (she still doesn't own a pair of sneakers).

Jack's Blessing

This past Sunday we blessed Jack at church. We were glad that we could spend the day with family. I'm pretty sure we came close to doubling the size of primary. America took way better pictures of the kids then I did, so you can check out her blog if you want to see the happenings.

Jack didn't want to cooperate for a picture but I had to take one of his blessing outfit. I made this when we blessed Peyton and made sure to add the trim from Tyler's, so he could have claim to it also. Every time a baby has been blessed in it I kick myself for not having done the embroidery yet. Finally, a few weeks ago, I found a place here that did it for me. Embroidered on are the names and birth years of everyone who has been blessed in it.

It's an idea from Martha. It's a good thing.
