Kenneth

I have another update on Kenneth.....He has passed into his 3rd block this week (Feb. 13, 2009). As you can see they were issued their fire gear. He is taking a claustrophobia test today, YIKES I would so fail that! He was also supposed to have his promotion ceremony this week, but I haven't heard about that yet. I will update you when I get more info:)

Kenneth

I took these pictures from Kenneth's myspace page. I got a call from him last night (Feb. 3, 2009) and he passed his first block with a 92% and is now off to the next block, which I believed he said is "fire chemistry". I will update with more pictures as soon as he posts them, and info as soon as I have some!

PS: If you can't see the pictures very well......click on them!

McCall Winter Carnival 2009

Kayla, Kali and I rode up to McCall with Sherrie and Cori on a fabric run, LOL! I had found out that my grandma was up for "Lady of the Lake" and ended up winning. That meant she would be in the parade. We watched that and included lunch on our trip. Here are some pictures of the parade:

Kali waiting patiently for it to start

Kali has spotted great grandma and is running to her

Kali and great grandma posing. Kali ended up walking the rest of the parade with great grandma......and she made Kayla go too! HAHA!

Making my own statement to the float below. Thanks to Dee Dee for the help! Sorry, my democratic friends....just the way I feel!

This float was cool! It was a front end loader I believe so the head moved and the mouth opened. Very creative!

And here is my cute niece Emali, it was a surprise to see her. She was in this vehicle that was pulling a float.

I took this out my back door at 6:15 PM last night (January 29, 2009). I added an action to it so the colors would pop. Yes, there is still too damn much snow in our back yard!

Kali's report card

Kali got a fantastic report card! I'm very proud of her. She received all "O's" (outstanding), their target for counting at this stage in kindergarten is in the 30's and she counted to 99 (they actually stopped her here, lol). The picture below is her Idaho Reading Indicator Assessment. I had a nice personal not about this. She is at a level 3, which is the highest level and the picture says the rest!

Kenneth

Just an update on Kenneth. He returned to Camp Pendleton on January 6th and had his MRI on the 7th. He was given the okay to leave on the 8th and didn't hesitate. He was very relieved to get out of there. He picked up classes on the 22nd and has had a test a day or every other day. He's passed everything so far! There has been a lot of studying and study nights. We are very proud of him! The girls are planning a road trip over spring break to see him. Included will be: Kali and I, Sherrie and Cori (Kenney's girlfriend and her mom). We are hoping that Kayla and Sara (Cori's sister) will be able to make it as well.

Kali's Christmas Concert

Kali had her Christmas concert and Kenneth flew in the day before. She was so excited to have him there. I swear they sang about 20 songs, not exaggerating! Kali got to be an angel in one of the songs. It's so cute when they start singing and add in a bit of acting.
