Homecoming

Abby and Tyler attended homecoming again this year as well as Jael. Here are a few pics.

Watermelon Shooting

We enjoyed some sport shooting of old watermelons. Levi, Dad, Jon and Beckie made short order of the old watermelons and Levi's blew apart the shooting post. We had a blast.

Levi's Life Scout

Levi eared his life scout. The family attended his rank advancement on the 29th of July.

Fourth of July Dinner and an Update

Jake came to town, so we had a belated July fourth dinner. Jenny and Dane and their five children came including Cody's girlfriend, Brandy. Jenny's kids are Haley, 17; Cody, 16; Brandon, 12; Eli, 9; and Jade 6. They grow so fast. Beckie and Jon and their two children. Isaiah is 4 and Maggie is 21 months. Rachael and Stuart are in Texas, so they missed out but should be home for Christmas. Sarah and Dj both had to work. Jake and Ashley are in from North Carolina. Jake is currently stationed at Camp LeJeune and is advancing in rank in the Marine Corps quite quickly due to meritorious promotions. He is now an E-4 or Corporal. Dj was promoted this last year to E-6 or Petty Officer First Class. Jon just recently learned of his impending promotion to E-6 or Technical Sergeant. We are so proud of our soldiers. Abby, Jael and Levi also came to dinner. Abby received quite a few scholarships to York College including the prestigious Gaston Sweitzer scholarship which provides half tuition to York College for four years. Jael recently returned from Europe. Look for some spectacular pictures of her trip to Italy, Croatia and the Greecian isles. Poor Levi has surgery soon to fix three hernias in his abdomen, but is exceling in his Karate endeavor.

Family Picnic

Everyone say "AWWWW!"

Big sized watermellon for such little kids. HAHA.

Shockingly, dad let Maegan drink out of his cup.

Silly dad!

Dad Got a Ram in Texas

We stayed in San Antonio after the hunt. Here's the Alamo.

The guide that helped us.

Who's cuter?

Does that ram look like it's smiling?

The lovely view of Barksdale Texas.

Prom 2009

Abby attended school prom and went with her boyfriend of over a year Tyler Devilbiss. This happens to be Abby's senior year. Much to her dismay she was voted Prom queen this year. She is so sweet and humble about it though. By the way she made her dress and her boyfriend's vest. She is so talented.



This year Jael Rose attended church prom. She went with Caleb Stackhouse, as you can tell they are not camera shy.

Stuart and Rachael got a House!!!
