Birthday Bonanza











The fall brings us a busy time, with a family of 6 and 5 of our birthdays are in September, October and November. T.J. starts us off, then Avery and Devyn, Brett and myself. Poor Trevor, a Spring birthday. Here are just a few pictures of the celebrations.

Cousins....


You know when the cousins get together, there is fun to be had all around. As in this picture at the temple, all well behaved for a moment. Once we got them away from the echo tree. All chaos broke out not long after. These guys are such great kids.

Officially Retired


The retirement ceremony took place on Friday, October 19th at Creech AFB, in Indian Springs. It was really great. Brett did a good job for being so nervous. It was so nice to have our families and friends there for this occasion. Colonel King did a great job of presenting Brett with his retirement. The color guard did a nice flag ceremony and it was nice to be reminded what the stars, stripes and colors represent. Congrat's Dawgie.

Bad Spelling Day


It was truly a bad spelling day for me. I have always accused Brett of being a poor speller but now I have to eat those words (which I hate). In Devyn's birthday blog I wrote the word "Where" instead of the correct spelling of "Wear." And then to top it off I wrote on Devyn's birthday cake the wrong spelling of Birthday. Now all the kids were singing the word "Birthay" and I will never live this one down.

Devyn turns 6




Our little Devyn turns 6 today. She was quick to inform us that now it takes 2 hands to show her age. She is always so happy and has been such a fun addition to our family. She is a little different than her big sister, she loves to where dresses, everything has to be pink, has about 18 purses, loves to paint her nails and all dolls with nails, enjoys a good shopping spree to the Gap, Gymboree or Old Navy, she absolutely loves a great pair of shoes, especially if they make noise when you walk. This girl knows what she wants, when and where and all we see are dollar signs ahead. (But she's worth every penny). Happy B'Day Dev

TJ's Tennis Game

TJ's playing tennis for Eldorado, plays singles and doubles. During the Moapa Valley match he won 6-4 in singles. This is such a nice change from seeing him hit baseballs. Regionals are this coming week so it will be fun.

Happy Birthday Avery!

Our Little Avery turns 11 today. When I say little, I mean little. She only weighed 5lbs when she was born and we dressed her in doll clothes for the first few weeks. She has always had red hair and their was some major discussion when she popped out with that bright red hair. She has always made us smile and has been a great big sister and little sister to her siblings. Happy B-day Avery!
