Camryn's 5th Birthday

November 2008

Camryn wanted a Monkey party this year!

My sister and her husband were able to be here again 

this year which is always fun. We also had several adults over, 

Eric, Greg, Sarah,Scott & Liz, Nana & papa, & my grandma and grandpa. 

Camryn invited 5 other little girls (her friends from school).

It turned out to be a nasty day, weather wise, and we were hit 

with the first big winter storm and 2 of her friends couldn't get

 to the party because of the road conditions. To top it off, 2 others ended up

 with the flu, so only 1 little girl showed up, Kayla. We were so glad that 

she came, because it was heartbreaking to see Camryn so sad about 

her party and no one was coming. Anyway, fun was still

had by all!

More Birthday Pics...

My sister Kimi (or Mimi as she is more commonly known) getting in 

on the fun of pinning the banana on the monkey

I brought some paper home from school to make a tree for the monkey

party. What I had in mind wasn't quite as elaborate as what Sonny and 

Randy came up with. They got very creative and ended up with quite the

tree, with vines, monkeys and bananas!

Mike & Becky's Wedding

November 2008

Sonny performed this wedding for our friends Mike & Becky.

Caitlyn and Camryn were also in the wedding, which is where we

had our good friend Greg take some nice family photos since we were all dressed up.

(note the Christmas card you all received:)

Camryn's favorite thing to do at ALL weddings, is dance!

(see Greg & Sarah's Blog for video of "Crazy Camryn" dancing)

Greg can get her to do anything!

and playing in the leaves.

Reedsburg Area High School Marching Band & Colorguard

This was my 3rd year coaching the high school colorguard.

I just called this year a "REBUILDING" year. I had a small group 

this year and many beginners. Although many of them had never

touched a flag before, they caught on quick and did better than I thought 

they would do, and I was very proud of how hard they tried.

Homecoming Game

We went to many more football games this year, as our

team did very well and went all the way to state! (see Sarah's 

Blog for pictures of state game).

Homecoming Parade

This is Caitlyn & her friend Tommi 

Sonny was asked to drive his car in the parade this year,

so he took Camryn out of school early and did the parade thing

This is the colorguard & marching band

I coached the colorguard again this year

Homecoming Festivities!

September 2008

Every year during homecoming at the high school, Sonny's

boys soccer team tries to toilet paper our house. They don't usually 

do a very good job because we always hear them and catch them

in the act, but this year, we were home and clueless to the toilet

paper party happening in our yard and they nailed us without us knowing it

So I finally saw the cutest girls birthday party ever!

Camryn went to her best friend's 5th birthday party.

It was a real tea party, with real china and everything.

I have to say, it was the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

Check out the great tea pot cake:)

Youth Soccer

Sonny coached the 4 & 5 year olds this year, so Camryn got

to play on his team!

Caitlyn attempted soccer again after about 5 years of not playing.

Their team "The Fireballs" did very well, although she spent more

time worrying about her hair:) Just kidding, she actually scored 3 goals on the season.

Sonny was a very happy dad this year as both girls decided

to play soccer. His favorite moment was when they both were

getting dressed and they needed help lacing up their cleats. He was 

just glad not to see tights and ballet shoes, even if for only a short while.
