The kids were getting tired of posing, so Kristen duct taped them to the tree. 

Ian isn't so fond of getting his portrait done. Or maybe he was playing shy for a cute 2 year old girl playing in the park.

Jenna hams it up during a photo shoot. Do you like the official sounding language...we can use that now that Kristen gets paid to take pictures. 

kayla poses for the camera again. If we catch her in the right mood, she really enjoys doing it as you can tell. 

Kristen took this picture of Kayla as a warm up for her booming photography business. I think we have decided on "Master's Hand photography" for the business name. If you think you would like to have Kristen do your portraits, let us know.

This picture of Kristens won second place at the fair. It is in Bradenton Fla. 

The Kids studying a dead bird Ally brought home. They actually found and identified the correct species and the variation! Yes, I am proud!

A chip off the old block! 

Short people

OK, so I am at this conference today... Yes, thanks to our fine school district scheduling yet another mandatory workshop on an "optional" workday, I spent my entire day in the Lib. At least this workshop was beneficial. I am afraid that if it had been another "mountain mennonite" I would have had to shoot myself. This one was on lexiles, and I can see it benefiting my class quite a bit. Anyway, what does this have to do with short people? Well, the main presenter was 6'10" tall. For those of you who know Dr. Buckwell, close your eyes, and picture Dr. B and I standing on either side of this guy...it happened... and it got a good laugh. Now, Eric A. is simply known as "Tiny"

Jenna modeling a Tartar vest. What a Darling. 

If you have seen The Master of Disguise then this is funnier...if not, this is just real strange. 

Kayla trying on a Tartar hat from some friends in Russia. Check out those eyes...Dad is already worried! 

Sucks to be a teacher's kid... 

Jenna always poses for the camera. 

Watch out for the beach patrol in Myrtle Beach! 

Check out the new wheels! We traded the van in for a '04 Silverado.
