Anybody have some deer corn?

Every once and a while we will see some deer from the backyard. The kids love it.

Go Cougars!

We all enjoyed a fun day at Lavell Edwards stadium. The cougars rolled passed Air Force 31-6. Noah and Zach enjoyed the pre-game jet fly by and the peanuts. Early in the 4th quarter, we got hit really hard by some rain showers. Mom, Dad, Noah, and Heather sat in the seats right next to Dad's right ear.

Snowing in September!

Mom and Dad left just in the nick of time. It is now 35 degrees and SNOWING....Wow.

The Boyz

Even though the boyz spend much of their day fighting and wrestling. they are the best of friends. Zach particularly really looks up to Noah. Zach loves to play with Noah and his friends, but they always seem to pick on Zach when he follows him. This all seems so familiar...

Zach's First Day of School

Zach was pumped for his first day of pre-school. The very first day he ran right inside and started playing with his new classmates. He loves his new school clothes and shoes. He lays out his outfit each night before he starts school. He wakes up at 6:00am all dressed and ready to go!

Noah's First Day of School

Here is a pic of Noah's first day of kindergarten. He was a little nervous, but mostly excited. There were tears everywhere when he was dropped off. Noah was dry, but Heather was a mess! Now everyone is used to the new transition as Noah takes the bus to and from school! He loves it!

Mud Party!

Until we fill up this area with bark and we install a playground, this remains a mud corner in our backyard. Zach and Bailey took full advantage to take a summer mud bath, while Noah obeyed! These kinds of messes always seem to occur when I (Dad), am watching them...

Bailey's "Purple Foot"

Bailey was trying to balance on the one foot on the piano bench (true karate kid style). Unfortunately she lost her balance and broke her foot....yes, she broke her foot. She now has a cute purple cast. She was showing it off to me when I came home from work. She said pointing to her cast, "look...I'm cute!"

Bailey's Birthday Party

Bailey had a princess birthday party. She loved every minute of it. It is much different from our normal Spider Man parties but it sure was fun! We bought her a red trike. She always felt left out ever since we bought the boys their bikes a couple of months ago. Now she is one of the boys--part of the neighborhood motorcycle gang!

Happy Birthday to Maddox

Today, the 29th is Maddox's birthday and we went all out. Cake, balloons, streamers, clowns, the works. hahahaha yeah right. If I hope to raise my kid right, his next 9 birthdays will consist of slumber parties in a big tent with a bunch of his friends in sleeping bags and the occasional horse back ride at a near by elementary school preferably by a horse named Happy-Go-Lucky. No he is just like his Dad and likes to help weed in the garden

However, quite unlike his Dad, he feels the need to taste the composition of the soil to determine if the correct amount of fertilizer has been added. I think it has just the right amount of fecal matter Pops.

What a handsome looking kid. At one year old, life can only get better from here. Hopefully, he turns out to look more like Kerri because I got uglier with age and I started out as a pretty ugly kid. Kerri thought of a great tradition where instead of cards that ultimately get thrown away, we get a book that represents him from the last year and write our card in the book so he keeps it for a long time. My wife is great, isn't she.

A boy and his father sharing some delicious chocolate milk. Only one of us has the chocostache. When he looks up with those big blue eyes, you just can't say no to giving him chocolate milk, or bratwurst, or a small piece of your meat lovers Papa John's pizza.

Just like every Swift in the history of mankind, this one is an accident magnet. Take for instance a lovely evening in the bath playing turns into a game of how-hard-can-you-head-butt the porcelain tub. I am just glad he did not loose any teeth. Just like a Swift, he was told to "walk it off" and was fine in a matter of minutes. With ten fingers and ten toes, 2 eyes, 2 ears, all his limbs and some teeth (due to having not grown in yet, not because they were knocked out), Maddox begins again at 1 and will hopefully continue on with as much success as ever. He had better because he will have a little brother soon enough to contend with.

Self Explanatory

If you can't figure out what this video is about, you are mildly retarded. Everything is great here. Yes, Kerri is pregnant and yes we are having another boy. How do I know that you ask? The Lord blesses the righteous and between Kerri and I, we all know who is the more righteous one.
