Random pictures

The computer is being very slow tonight... so here are a few pictures to update you all. These are from our annual beach vacation in August. More to come later.
Lacie
5 of the 9 kids....

Lacie waiting patiently for her turn to stuff her bear at Build A Bear---- she LOVED going there. At first she named her Hannah Montana Bear....Hannah Montana, but now she calls her Beary. She sleeps with it every night.

Will bought a small throw net for the kids. The boys, and sometimes the girls, stayed on the dock and boat ramp for hours trying to catch little fish (minnows). It was fun to watch them. They are growing up so fast!



BEACH BUM!

Back Online!

After months of being without internet at home.....I'M BACK!!!
Lighting hit the desk top computer and the wireless router several months ago, and its taken us this long to get it fixed. So hopefully I will be posting some updates on everything that's being going on in McElveen world. I'm too tired tonight to do any picture posting, but life hasn't been boring here. We've have a great summer, although it was too short. The first of school was great, the kids have adjusted well to K5 and 1st grade. I still can't believe I have a 1st grader that can read! It amazes me everyday to hear him read and how well he is doing. Although it makes spelling words to Will so Cameron can't understand much harder!! Lacie is also doing great in K5, and I must say is a Teachers Pet. We went on a field trip to the zoo and Lacie was laying all over the teacher's lap, took Ms Kim's sunglasses and ran around and Ms Kim didn't say a word. She is also the class PR person, she greets and hugs everyone that comes in the class. Halloween has come and gone again. Lacie was the most beautiful princess, Grammie made her a princess dress and crown. Cameron was Optimus Prime....a Transformer!! He was adorable, only he wouldn't wear his mask very much. We are now preparing for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oh, and both the kids had birthdays in June, they are now 7 and 5.....WHEW where does time go??? I promise I will post pictures soon. Life is good!
