Trick or Treat on Southport

Happy Halloween.....this is Evan and his friend Spencer trick or treating on Southport this year.  The boys got an unbelievable amount of candy is such a short time.

Christmas Card

Copied this idea from a friend of mine, and so this year our Christmas cards are 4 x 6 pictures sent out as post cards.  Got a deal from Shutterfly...50 free prints so it only cost me $3.30 for shipping for my cards this year...great deal.

Jr. Brown III

WOW! Evan earned his Jr. Brown III belt the other day. I am so proud, only 2 more belts before Black Belt.

Gifts from the Marines

The marines in Iraq sent you a thank you box of items for your forgoing birthday gifts and asking for care package items. They sent you a shirt, hat, flag, challenge coin, marine plaque and wonderful letter thanking you for your generosity.

Meet Calder

Evan had a school project where he had to make a life size model of a character from the book
"The Wright Three" so meet Calder Pilay.

S'mores

I can't decide which paper I like better. I like the blue because it is a night layout, but I like teh light because I think it brings out the dark pictures better. What do you think?

Rock Climbing

Camp pictures

Camp

Evan and I went to camp this past weekend and we had a blast. Evan was a natural at archery. Between the rock climbing, archery, arts and crafts, the beach and the lake, there was plenty to do even though it rained in the morning. We had the most beautiful sunset. I'll post some pictures soon.

Family Reunion

Well, the bi-annual family reunion was a few weekends ago, and I have to say it was a lot of fun. Thank you to Becky, Aunt Bev, everyone else who had a hand in putting it all together. I really appreciate all the work that goes into pulling this event together. Here are some pictures of the day. As always, click on the picture to see larger.

High Blue!

WOW! I am so proud of Evan, he earned his High Blue belt the other day. He worked so hard and sparred the best that I ever saw him.
