Chantal is 21!

Happy Birthday to Chantal who turned 21 today! She celebrated for 3 days - Friday with her mom, Saturday with us, and Sunday with her dad. Now Bren is taking her to Disneyland for their anniversary coming up in a week.




So Kenton needs a haircut. . . . . . . . .










































So off came the rat tail (Bren's Christmas present) then the shaver, and walaa! The final product!

The Rainforest blanket

Grandma Volmer made Kenton his afghan. He's the 17th grandchild to receive one, as she makes them in order of their birth. He calls it his rainforest blanket and loves to lay around with it. Any yes, it is long enough for him!

More of Halloween 08

The boys winterized the pool in freezing water, while the girls started the pumpkin carving.

Frankenstein haunts the neighborhood

Bren wore this mask in grade school - a Frankenstein wannabe! Chantal seems to like it!

Seth (pirate?) and Kyla the bat - same bat costume I made Kiera her first Halloween

Kenton, Bradon, Scott, Justin, Jake

You would never recognize the boys! Jake was Master Chief - Halo! Kenton was Bob Schwartzki (I guess you have to be young to know who these characters are!) But for Scott you have to be older to know that he was one of the Village People rock group. Kenton and his buddies went out later as a soccer team.

Halloween 08

Frankenstein got a wife this year - a very wicked witch! And her daughters were just as wicked!
