I am moving pictures over so I can update the side. It has been almost a year since the kids had their individual shots done. Lets see how much they have changed. Pictures taken December 2010 at 19012 113th Way SE Renton, WA 98055

Halloween 2011

KC was an old man for the most part. When he got tired of the wig, he became a nerd.


Joshlynn was the Greek Goddess Athena





Jami is a pirate. ARGH Matey.
Sami was busting people all night if they didn't hand over enough candy. She wants to be like her Dad and since he is testing for the County Deputy Sheriff she chose to be a cop.



Zoe as a Vampiress. I vwant to suck vyour blood.

It was a good Halloween for us. We did Trunk or Treat with the church on Friday night and then went out in the neighborhood on Halloween. KC passed out Candy until his friends were ready to go out. Jami roamed the neighborhood with her friends and their Dads. Sami, Zoe and I walked around with our friends. KC and Joshlynn went with their friends and at 8:30 we were all headed home to see what sweets we got.

I never got a picture of Scott but he was a Cowboy but most people called him Sheriff. I had Ghost antlers that my neighbor/friend bought me.

6th grade Core Council

Joshlynn is running for 6th grade Core Council. She is excited for this adventure and is sure that she will be able to do a good job at keeping the students informed about the school and activities while helping to keep them all safe. She has great ideas and always has an opinion about the things going on around her. She has a good head on her shoulders even if her family makes fun of her a time or two. Good Luck Joshlynn. Voting takes place on Friday and the results will be in late that day or the following Monday Morning>

Her Campaign speech is great too.

So, you’re probably wondering who to vote for to be your sixth grade Core Council leader for this school year. Well, let me help you. I’d be excellent for this position because I was a member of the student council at Benson Hill Elementary. I also played an important role in the safety of my elementary school by being on the Safety Patrol. I’ll be the best leader I can be by coming to all the meetings, and I’ll come to all the dances, assemblies, and all the other important events.

I, if elected, will not forget the purpose at hand, be a good leader. I will help all of us make it through these days of sixth grade.

Please don’t forget, I’ll be a great leader for this year, so vote for me, Joshlynn Knight.

Labor Day Weekend

Chris Jex's Uncle Dave invited us to camp on his property. He sure did have a fun place and some cool things to see nearby. We loaded up just after the kids got home from school and headed to carpool with the Jex Crew.



Water Fall was beautiful and the water was so cold. KC did make his way over the rocks to the swimming area and swam from the rocks to water fall. It was all in the shade and mid morning so it was very cold but he did it.
We had to get a group pic in front of the white fence of course.
Jami wanted to help so bad at putting something away. She is so fragile and most of this is hard for her but Scott found a job for her and it made her happy.

Uncle Dave kept the kids busy. He took them for tractor rides to help pull up logs for his next projects. He also gave them rides in the bucket on his tractor. He pulled out a quad and took the kids for rides around his property. He then turned it over to the big kids so they can take their wife for a ride (I loved it. I wanted to drive but it was night and I can't see very well at night).
Uncle Dave also took us to see his boat. He built a sailboat in his backyard years ago. It is an 80 foot boat. It is huge. After looking at his boat we joined a Labor Day party at the Marina he stores his boat. It was a fun and relaxing day.
It was a fun trip and a little different from our normal camping.

using our Christmas gifts and more.

Christmas Cards that I made for the kids and then they got packed or put aside and I found them 3 days after Christmas. they have a Hershey bar inside.


Recently I taught the girls at Activity Days to do fancy napkin folds. Joshlynn and Jami folded our napkins for our Christmas Dinner.


Then they set the table for a fabulous meal put on by Scott.


Jami got a set of Stamps and she has started making cards right away for her friends. This will keep her and Eden busy when they have playdates and sleepovers.


Nette got a new cake pan so we made a 11 cake to bring in the year 2011.

Sami got a lot pf baking things for Christmas so she used her stuff to make the cake mixes.

A glimpse at 2011's individaul portraits.

So a wonderful lady(Mother in law) sent me one of her cameras and I am back in business. So after I played with it and got a few Christmas pictures taken I started in with updating the kids pictures.
