Father's Day

For father's day this year I made my dad this  four generation picture.  


I made this one for my grandma


I tried to take on with my kids holding the pictures but the small ones got too small

Elk Days

Every year our little community puts on a parade and has booths of food and games afterwards.  This year was cold and very wet, but we went and had fun.  Some of us even participated in the parade.

Cold and waiting for the parade to start.  Peter, Lex, and Ben


Gotta kill time somehow.  Let's make funny faces and take a picture. Daddy, Lex and Peter


All's good. Ev, Justin, with grandma and grandpa in back


Parade had started!  Elk Homemakers float

Indians Baseball Game

We have a local minor league baseball team and occasionally we attend their games.  The kids love going and even though I find it boring at times it makes great memories.

Select Choir

Chris loves to be in the spot light and he loves to sing.  Because of these traits select choir has been for him.  This is a choir of 25-50 children that have to try out for a spot and they practice before school once a week.  They have concerts, perform around town, enter festivals and at the end of the year put on a play.  It really is amazing how much they learn in such a short time.  This year Chris was Anansi the spider in their play.

Bicycle Helmet

Alexis so wanted a bicycle helmet so I finally got her one.  Now she won't take it off.  "Safety first," she says.  Even when making pizza.

Sun and Bugs

The weather has finally turned warm enough to play outside in swimsuits and of course catch bugs.
