Lake Charles

Last weekend Zayne's cousin got married in Lake Charles, so off to Louisiana we went. It was a nice weekend, didn't start off too good, but it managed to turn around. Kyle got some kind of 24 hour thing Thursday night and we weren't sure how he was going to be. He slept on the way out there and by the end of Friday night he was back to himself. It was a lot of fun, some of Zayne's cousins from Nebraska and S. Carolina were there. All of his aunts and uncles were there too. Grandma is not doing so well lately so it was nice to see her too. Zayne has been able to make it to the reunions lately; however, due to the timing of the reunions and busy times at work I have not been able to make it, so it has been years since I have seen some of the family. It was so nice to see them, I also met some new additions I have never met. Kyle got out and did some dancing, rather cute watching Kyle do the YMCA (definitely a picture below). The weekend seem to come to an end too quick, with everyone else traveling farther--everyone left early on Sunday.

Kamryn took her first visit to the zoo this past weekend--will post soon.

Oops

I somehow posted the pictures before describing them or checking my spelling. The first set are of the work on the house. Then there are pictures of Kyle, they started having him hold the ball now too. There is also a pic of Angela at the game. Then the pictures of the cook-off--all the entries we turned in. There is also a picture of pops--this is what happens when you fall asleep around Kyle.

What a week

Well what a week it has been. Uncle Jim came into town last Sunday night and he and Zayne did work on dad's house. And this time it went by with no injuries!!! Uncle Jim took pictures of some of the work in progress, I will post them later. Tuesday night Kyle had a football game, probably one of his best. It had rained a lot here and they didn't want our fields to get messed up so he got to play at the high school on astroturf. They won their game and they are now 4 and 0. Of course more pictures to follow. Then this weekend we had another cook-off. This one was the Fire Fest, kind of where it all started for us. 2 years ago Zayne, Mike and Adam did the cook-off as a team; this year each of them were on their own team with their wives. It was a lot of fun-and very exciting for us. My dessert got 1st place and Zayne placed 3rd in chicken and 5th in ribs. It was all around a GREAT weekend, even though it rained on us and we were in a mud pool.

Down comes the ceiling

More pipes to work on

Okay, we can get ready to
