Ballerina Girl

Here's Reagan in her Mommy's old ballerina outfit. This outfit has been seen on someone else besides Reagan and Mommy.....hmmm....maybe Uncle Mike. (wish I could upload that one.)

McKinley's #2 Birthday!!

McKinley turned 2 while we were at Poppi and Gamma's house. She had a very good time, as you can see. She was very happy to have a party with her sisters and cousins.

Kennedy's 7th Birthday

Wow! Kennedy is 7 years old now. She had a birthday party upon returning home from our vacation. She invited a few girlfriends over, decorated tiara's, played pin the tiara on the princess, and ate pizza and home made milk shakes. Oh, I must not forget they played keep away from Daddy. 7 girls running around in the basement screaming....Yikes!! As you can see, fun was had by all. (including Daddy)

Beautiful La Grande

Many of you have yet to visit La Grande. It is a beautiful place. Here are some pictures taken from our deck. The view of the mountains is poor in these pictures, but the rainbow is spectacular. We are so happy to finally be in our new home after such a long wait!!

Homeschool at the Kruse Academy

The Monday after our vacation we started homeschooling Kennedy. She is in first grade. She was so excited. She came bounding into her Daddy and Mommy's room all dressed up and ready to go. Her enthusiasm has not waned one moment. We are all enjoying it so--- much!! Reagan has been motivated also. She has learned so much in just 6 weeks. Her Mommy believes she will be reading well by the end of the year (and she will be just finishing preschool)!

Vacation to Poppi and Gamma's House

We all had a great time on our vacation. It was so good to see family. Kennedy and McKinley were excited to be able to celebrate their birthdays with everyone. Reagan was very happy to reap the benefits of joining in on their birthday fun. We look forward to another visit, hopefully soon.
