Mr. T-Bird

As a part of the big homecoming week excitement the high school as a competition called "Mr. T-Bird", which is basically the male version of Miss America lol. Matt decided to strut his stuff and compete against 14 other guys for the title of Mr. T-Bird.

The evening began with the "Boxer" event:

(yes...that is my son up on stage in his Sponge Bob Boxers lol...)

This was followed by "Talent" where Matt and his friend Shawn did a dance skit/routine to "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins:

Followed by "Formal Wear" where they strut their stuff in a tux:

Ending with the dance competition where they danced as a group:

He didn't win but we still got a kick out of the whole thing lol.

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went a field trip with Kamryns Girl Scout troop to the Happy Apple Farm in Penrose. We went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin fields, picked our pumpkins, then got a ride back to the farm house...

Matt...

As if school and work didn't keep him busy enough...Matt decided to take on 2 sports this fall. He played soccer, where he ended up playing goalkeeper alot, and also participated on the Cross Country team...



....and yes, he did dye his hair black...

Kamryns 9th Birthday

This year for Kamryns Birthday we all kind of made out. We got a limo (thanks Jeff!!) and met a bunch of Kams friends at the school with it. We drove them around town a bit, stopped to play at a park for about 15-20 minutes, then drove around a little more. We had 11 kids in all. When we were finished we took them back to our house for pizza and cake. Then the adults (minus Robin because someone had to stay with the kids lol) went for a little spin in the limo. All in all I think it was a fabulous day!!

Birthday girl...

And finally, anyone want to take a guess at how many DECADES these 2 have been divorced??...

We have a new baby in the family! For years, all Bryttaney has talked about wanting has been a snow dog. In July, some coworkers of Robins found out that their Husky was pregnant (the daddy is an Akita) and we started considering the possibility of a new puppy. On July 28th she had 9 puppies! When they were 4 weeks old we took the girls over for a look. Of course Kamryn picked a totally different puppy from the one that Robin, Brytt, Matt and I wanted. So I made a deal with Kamryn, told her that if we took this one she could name her ;) We picked her up a little over 2 weeks ago. She is now 9 weeks old and I think she has doubled in size...she is going to be a big girl!

These pics were taken a week ago:





This one was taken yesterday...she was enjoying a belly rub from Grandma Lin :o)
