Thanksgiving 2008

W Family Picture at Grandma and Grandpas. Doesn't J look excited? In the other picture of us he is yawning.

This is the kids with grandma, grandpa, and little G.

This picture is all the grandkids(2: Crazy Mamma, and Uncle D)and great grandkids(7: J, Princess, Bubba, Monkey, Abster, Boogie, and Little G) and great grandma.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpas house. I decided that I am most thankful for my family. Each and every one of them! I am also thankful for my children's health, and for a husband that drives a very long way to work so that we can live where we live. I love it here!

Family Update

Hello Everyone,

The W Family is doing great. We are busy getting ready for Thanksgiving with grandma and grandpa and even great grandma in John Day. Since J has his drivers permit, he'll be driving over there adding another few hours to his driving log. Bubba has finished up football and really loved it. Right now he is working on a school project with Dad and the neighbor kid. Princess is in school full time and getting all a's and b's. We are so proud of her. Monkey, is tagging along with mom these days. We are raising hens for eggs. We are trying to sell them however, we aren't getting many eggs these days and the ones we do get, we eat! HMMM.. Abster is loving the first grade. She just became a self-manager(a very special priveledge). Boogie is what can I say.....A stinker. He is almost 17 months old and loves to get into things. He is awful cute though. He is also getting in 6 teeth at one time. Poor little guy. We will be getting our new familiy photo's back soon and then I'll update the blog with those. I will also post some pictures from Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Pigeon Show 11-8-08

Princess showing her pigeon in intermediate showmanship. Reserve Champion!

Monkey and Abster's first attempt at pigeon showmanship.

Have you ever seen pigeons like these? There were over 950 pigeons at the show. It was amazing.

The Kids thought this pigeon had a brain on his beak.

Talk about interesting eyes.

All puffed up!



My What big eyes you have!

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Boogie has a big load for a small boy! I always tell the kids you can't have the pumpkin unless you can carry it.

Monkey wanted a tall skinny pumpkin which we thought was funny since she's tall and skinny. Princess wanted a round bumpy one.

Kaleb just wanted a nice standard pumpkin.

Abster picked a nice pumpkin too.

Bubba, the big brother is always there to help.

Bubba's Football Pictures

This is the all league football photo. A rainbow of talent!

Here's the master himself.

We must have a team huddle.
