Jericho's Baptism

Jericho turned 8ys on April 9th. He chose to be baptized the next day, April 10th. He was baptized by his Dad and wanted to be confirmed by his Grandpa, Faaoso. Here is Jericho on his big day with his Dad in front of his favorite restaurant "ChuckaGrandma's". He calls it this because this is the place his Grandparents always take him. He especially likes not having to wait for the food. Buffet is the way to go for him.

Liberty Park

I like to pick the boys up from school which is right next to Liberty Park. So many times when the weather is nice we go there after school to play and feed the ducks. Here are some videos that the boys created.

West Point Community Festival

These are pictures from the West Point Community Night Out. I chair this event and this was our second year. We had about 600 people attend. Each year it gets bigger and better. Jake took advantage of the free face painting. He wanted to be SpiderMan.

Jewel is chillin'. Everyone kept trying to steal her.

We had many boothes set up that were informational and retail.

Free food and drinks

Lots of free activities for the kids including a parade which was lead by the police on their motorcycles and the fire truck.

Don't forget about the good entertainment.

This was a quick trip we took to Lava. Joe was out of town on a business trip so I packed up the boys and my Mom and snuck out of town. Lava Hot Springs has been a favorite family spot since I was a kid. It's fun to be able to now take my kids there. This trip was in the summer of '06. The boys wanted to put these pics on the blog.

Funny what you get roped into doing as a Mom. It was a blast!

Nothing but white

Almost to the bottom and all three boys are still on the raft. Good thing Daddy wasn't there.
