Halloween - Joslin 2..Haley 12..Jamie ?? Jose??

This was definitely a new look for Haley!

I don't know why we didn't do such things when we were younger. They were having a ball!

Jamie and Joslin were both accented with purple, but it seemed to come out blue in the pics.

She was clapping, singing and playing the piano! Yes, she was wound tightly!

Trick or Treat Street

Haley's dance group hosted indoor trick or treating and entertainment last Saturday. This is one of the rare opportunities that I will get to get snaps of her in action.

Flowers

I'm putting these up for Kylie so that she can see the colors of my dahlias..

Mad Jos!

I don't think that she wanted me to take her picture this time..

Newton 500

I know that I haven't posted for awhile, so I'll try to catch up with activities. Jim got Nascar for Christmas last year. We didn't realize that it would be almost a year before he could cash in on his ride at Kansas Speedway. It was really cold that day and I didn't dress for the weather at all. It was fun, but it would have been more enjoyable if the weather had cooperated.

Cabin Experiences

Jim and I were at the cabin last weekend. He was mowing and I was playing with the camera! It is just so peaceful up there. It is very therapeutic (especially the mowing!

If I just sit out and wait, I seem to have ample opportunities for shots. There were pesky gnats that enjoyed feasting on me while I worked(?) They are still itching after a week.

The dragonfly and I were having a staredown. I think he won!

This turkey likes the bird feeder at the neighbors. Mike (the neighbor) says that they perch up there quite often to knock seed out for the little ones underneath. There were 17 turkeys out there at the time.

Co-existence..

Pat's Birthday!!

Jim's sister, Pat, celebrated her 70th birthday on June 14th. Her family hosted a party this weekend to commemorate the event. Anyone that knows me very well, knows that I like to document events with lots of pics. The rest can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/Newtonneal832 .

She is an extraordinary person who has had what most of us would considered insurrmountable obstacles in her life, but she has dealt with each one with the utmost courage and remains a positive example to all of us. Thanks, Pat..
