At the Grandparents.

Is Brooks in trouble or just hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma? Just some other pictures while the kids and grandkids at "just visiting."

Payette's Apple Blossom

The kids that went had fun. If Conner wasn't on a ride he wanted to go play the games. The older McCarney's spent some money on the basketball hoop shoot for only two large stuffed animal. The scones or elephant ears were good this year like always. It was good to see Becca more than willing or excited to ride the rides. But of course it was he birthday. We even good Luke on a ride. How he fit, we will never know. Way to go Luke! Good thing Braddock only threw up on his last ride.

excitement

Sometimes I wish I could get excited over some of the simplest things. Maybe that will something I will look forward to these things on the downhill side of life.

Members of the family

These are pictures of almost each member of the family.

Snowman

On Wednesday, December 01, we in Middleton woke up to about 10 inches of snow. Conner wanted to build his first snowman at age 4. Once it came time for pictures, Conner would only sit in front of the snowman. He wouldn't let me hold him next to the snowman. We were even lucky to have school canceled for the day.

Watermelon Champion

On Saturday, July 3rd, Middleton had a celebration in which a watermelon eating contest was included. Tyler won the first heat of 3 by eating a quarter of a watermelon the fastest. To take the title of Champion, he had to beat the winners of the other two heat by eating the most of another quarter of a watermelon in 4 minutes. But it did not take Tyler 4 minutes to eat the whole thing. His prize was a watermelon, $20 gift card to Ridley's the towns grocery store, and to shake hands with Walt Minick.
