Clear the streets of Livonia

Well, Kaitlyn is officially a driver.
Today she got her license from the Secretary of State. She passed her road test yesterday and today we went and picked up her license.
She actually went to her friends house to go swimming and she drove there without adult supervision.

Here is Kaitlyn going to her friends with her new car.

So, all I can say is watch out Livonia!!

Blogger Slacker again

Well, I'm still a blogger slacker. I haven't updated in a while, so I'll update you all.

Father's Day was good here, we went to Scott and Nancy's and had a BBQ. Chicken, Ribs and lots of other good food. School is out now. The kids finished last Tuesday and now they are home doing nothing. Kaitlyn just finished phase 2 of the driving course and she is scheduled to take her driving test this Thursday. Wish us luck. She has a car, it was given to her by Jon and Becky. It's a 1999 Nissan Maxima with 168000 miles, but still runs good. Her and Patrick can drive around town for things to do when she does get her license.

Well, as soon as I download my pictures, I will be posting more. Stay tuned.

Blogger Slacker

Just a little note to let everyone know that we are alive and well, just lazy about updating the blog. School is wrapping up in a few week, the kids get out on June 10th. Work has been going good. Norma had her 20th anniversary dinner/hors devours the other night. No big plans for the weekend, we can't afford to drive anywhere with gas over $4/gallon, so we will just stick around the house and do some housework.

Well, I'll post more pictures when we take them, hopefully from this weekend.

Almost May

Well, it's almost May and it's time to add a few pictures to the blog.

First, I'm still having issues with the main computer, it has some kind of bug that just won't go away. So that's been taking up a lot of my time lately.

Here are some pictures from Patrick's piano contest. He was at a contest this weekend where he had to play one song at two different locations. The first was in front of a judge, he scored the highest mark you can get. He scored a AAA and received a trophy. Then he went to another room where he performed with about 10 other kids at his level. He will then be judged against the other kids and, if he was good enough, he can get 1st, 2nd or 3rd. We won't know if he placed until his teacher calls him. Not bad considering he just started playing the piano in September. He also had to take a written test to see how much he knows about music, but again, we won't know the results until his teacher tells us.



Now for some pictures from Patrick's birthday party. Kaitlyn's birthday pictures were already posted below, so here are Patrick's.

He went to Pump It Up, a place that has indoor inflatables to go wild on. As you can see from the pictures the kids were red faced and sweaty after jumping on all the inflatables. But they all had a fun time.



We also discovered we have a nest of baby bunnies on the side of our house. I was cutting the grass on Saturday and when I went close to the house, five little bunnies ran like crazy from their den. We were able to find three of them and get them back to their home, but we couldn't find the other two. Hopefully, the hawk didn't get them. Here is a few pictures of the little bunnies.


Finally, me and Kaitlyn are going to be in the Daddy/Daughter dance for her dance school and here are some pictures of us in the costumes. This dance studio takes the dancing more serious than the last one Kaitlyn was in.

April Update

Just updating the blog. I've been having issues the the computer for the past few weeks. And I think I'm getting closer to getting it up and running. We had some kind of virus or Trojan, not sure, but we could not keep Internet Explorer open to do anything. I had to re-format the hard drive and re-install everything, but it is working better. All my backup drives seem to have been effected by the virus though, so I may have lost some of my pictures and documents.

Hopefully I'll be posting soon, with a clean machine.

Joey's Dedication and Easter

Well, this last weekend we went to a dedication for Joseph Daniel. Kaitlyn and Patrick were named the godparents for Joey. They were very excited and very honored to be named the godparents. Here are some pictures from the dedication. There are about 48 pictures to view.




Here are some pictures from Easter at our house. We have had a very busy two weeks.

Whirlyball Party

We had Kaitlyn's birthday party at Whirlyball. It was very fun. I think all of Kaitlyn's friends really enjoyed themselves. Here are some pictures: (there are a lot of pictures here)
