South Plains Air Show

Slaton had an airshow this past weekend. We took the boys as a surprise and turned out I was surprised because it was so cool! Well worth it! Hard to believe something cool could be so close to home!

No school....No hair

School lets out and the hair lets loose! Momma shaved the boys heads giving them a cooler do while they tear up the outside this summer.



Trevor with boys. Trev is laughing cause he has a mane of hair!

School's out for summer!

Cue Alice Cooper! School's out for summer!

Jeffrey's first grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson. She is a small lady, but she can whip some first graders into shape! She is the best first grade teacher I've ever seen!


Jeffrey got a handful of awards: Citizenship Award, Exemplary Student, and All "A" Honor Roll. (definitely gets it from his momma!) Finished the year with his lowest grade being a 95. Yeah, I'm braggin! He really worked hard.

Jeffrey's entire first grade class. In fact, the only first grade class at Whiteface. One of the larger classes in the entire school. (HS included)

It was the last day of school and they were having water day...that is why nobody is wearing a shirt.


I guess the excitement was too much for Joel as he sacked out on the turtle in Mrs. Wilson's room.


Joel sleeping again....you would think we keep this kid up late or something.

Tball is over! Where's my trophy?!

Joel wrapped up the Tball season and got a trophy! Whoo Hoo! It's posable!


No, you're not seeing double, Joel is on the left, buddy Trent, is on the right. They are the same height, they run the same, they throw the same, sometimes they even talk the same!


Joel with buddy Casen.


Jeffrey didn't get one, so he pouted.

You worked hard! Now sit back...relax!

Jeffrey worked his tookis off this school year to win this chair. It is a big thing at the Whiteface Elementary to get a chair. The students have to earn 200 points reading AR (Accelerated Reader) Books. The students read a book, then they take a test over what they read to earn the points. The books Jeffrey read were worth half a point and he ended the year with 232 total points. That is like.....um....a bunch of books! 400 some odd or something like that. ANYWAY, what I'm trying to say is that he read these books that range in grade level from first grade through second and third grade and each book was worth about half a point and for him to make 232 points was a huge deal! We are very proud of him and when he got the chair home he sat in it for a week straight!

Fort Fortner

Boys waiting patiently for dad to finish the Fort.


A Fort butt to go along with The Fort.


A complete swing-set-monkey-bar-fortress thingy. It was a joy to put together! Only a week of my time gone! Nothing labelled or pre-drilled! AWESOME! But wait! The sides aren't put up yet....oh well I got another week.

Man! I'm behind....so what else is new

I haven't posted since Joel's birthday, April 28th, this is what has been happening since.....

Below are pics of Joel's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. I guess we just wanted to keep celebrating!


Joel didn't really want to take a picture with Chuck, but when we told him he had to before he could open his presents, he put aside all fears and stepped up to the Chuck for a quick pic.


Leanna made the coolest cake ever! R2D2! I mean, c'mon you can't go wrong with that! Yes, she made this. I call her the Ace of Cakes! (Not to be confused with Duff Goldman)


Joel riding the funnest game at Chucks and that is the Jet Ski simulator. Whoo Hoo!


Joel "piloting" the airplane game.


Me and Dad putting together Joel's Clone Wars helmet. I'm the big blue one.


Joel wearing his helmet. Not to be confused with a life size bobble-head.
