Going Through Pictures

2011-12-28T23:44:00.000-05:00

Here are some pictures I found from the last year.

Isobel playing under a chair at the lake the summer.

Elizabeth checking out a calf at the Indiana State Fair this summer.

Not really sure what she was looking at.

Tin Caps Game

2011-10-21T21:59:00.000-04:00

This year we finally got with the program and the kids participated in the library's Summer Reading Program. The kids had a blast doing this. Getting our kids to read has never been a problem around here, so they were excited to earn prizes for something they already love to do. Among the prizes were free kids meals at Applebee's (which we used this week), and free tickets to a Ft. Wayne Tin Caps game. This also included a gift (bag) and a hot dog, chips, and a drink. We had a great evening together at the ball park.

Growing up my family had season tickets to the Indianapolis Indians. So, for me this was a great flashback to summertime growing up. We loved going to the ballpark and watching games. It was great to be able to do this with our kids (at a much reduced cost thanks to the library.) Isobel did not join us on this venture. She would not have appreciated being confined to seats during a 3 hour game. Not to mention the 45 minute car ride each way. Here are some pictures from the ballpark!

Indiana State Fair

2011-10-14T21:01:00.000-04:00

Well, I know the fair was a while ago, but you know how great I am at keeping this current! We try to go down to my parents every summer to make it to the Indiana State Fair. This has become a time that we all look forward to and enjoy. Luckily my parents live in Indianapolis, so we try to go in the morning, go back to their house for naps, and then go back in the evening with them. It really is a great day, despite what the first picture looks like. :)

Okay, so a day at the fair is fun, but not the best for pictures.

This is the best we got of all four of them.

Ethan driving. (Wesley took this picture!)

Elizabeth was excited to find a pink tractor.

(Wesley took this one too.)

The kids participated in this activity where they pretended to be farmers.

This was Wesley along the way to harvesting his crops.

This is Dennis' tractor that he has worked really hard to restore.

He was able to take it down the the fair and have it there with the other tractors.

We went to find it and then of course had to take pictures.

The kids love to climb on it. Isobel, however, was not nearly as impressed.

Just a nice picture of the three of them.

I'm sure I was holding Isobel because she was screaming. :)

A Great Picture With GG

2011-09-21T21:11:00.000-04:00

Well, a rare thing happened this summer. We even have it documented. We have pictures with all four kids looking at the camera, and even smiling! We were visiting my Grandma and decided to take some pictures outside since it was such a beautiful day. We love spending time with GG. The kids love to play games and read books with her. We always have a wonderful time!

Ethan & Wesley's Baptism

2011-09-17T01:06:00.000-04:00

Last Sunday we had our church service at the park. We do this at least once a year. We have a nice park here in town with a lake in it. We have our worship service here, a baptism, and then a picnic. This year was extra special for us as parents. Wesley and Ethan were both baptized. It was a special honor for Jeff to be able to baptize his sons. We are so proud of them and the young men they are becoming.

Ethan, Dad, & Wesley

(even with just 3 in the picture, I can't get everyone smiling)

Happy Birthday Wesley

2011-09-12T22:16:00.000-04:00

Wesley turned 7 on September 6th. His request was to go to Yo-Yo's in Fort Wayne. So, we went there for supper. It is hard to believe how much he has grown up. He loves to read and is such a great big brother. We are so proud of him!

Enjoying the Snow

2011-02-12T12:06:00.000-05:00

We have enjoyed the snow here recently. Well, Jeff is probably tired of shoveling it, but we have enjoyed looking at it. The kids ventured out recently to play in it. After all of the bundling up, they ran straight for the swing set.

Dad having some snuggle/playtime with the kids.

Trying to Catch a Smile

2011-01-29T00:34:00.001-05:00

Isobel has been showing us her lovely smile quite a bit this last week. I would love to show you a picture of it, but I can't seem to get one on camera. Well, that and we have all been sick here this week, so I haven't done a good job of taking pictures. So far, this is the best I've got. Actually, I think it's quite cute! :) (Hopefully tomorrow I will get a better one.) The picture of her and Ethan was just so cute I had to put it up.

A Few Recent Pictures

2011-01-23T20:58:00.000-05:00

Here are a few pictures from around here. It has been a busy last month or so around here. Since it's been rather cold and snowy around here recently, we have been playing a lot of board games and putting together puzzles. We are adjusting to being a family of 6. Isobel is a good baby, she is serious most of the time, but has been smiling in the last few days. We are so blessed to have her. Wesley, Ethan, & Elizabeth love their sister and are a big help.

Trip to Mississippi

2010-11-13T11:06:00.000-05:00

We took a recent family vacation to Jackson, Mississippi. I know, quite the tropical location, but we went back to visit friends and our church from when Jeff was in seminary. We had a great time. On the way, we stopped in Nashville, TN and visited my friend Abby. She was still at work when we got there so we found a playground to explore. The kids had a great time, especially since they had been in the car all day.

All 3 kids in 1 picture, looking at the camera, and smiling! :)

Andrea, Abby, Elizabeth, Ethan, & Wesley outside of Abby's townhouse.

Elizabeth was finally brave enough to slide down the slide.

It doesn't look like it, but it was a very steep slide.

Ethan climbing the rock wall.

Wesley had a great time conquering

everything on the playground equipment.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth

2010-10-21T21:42:00.000-04:00

I am a bit overdue on this post, but it is within a week! So, I guess there is improvement. Elizabeth has been such a blessing to us. She always knows how to make someone smile. She is looking forward to being a big sister soon. She keeps telling us she is going to help us pick out the baby's clothes. Yes, she does love clothes, shoes, sparkles, ruffles, and the color pink. (She must get it from Jeff!)

Elizabeth turned 3 last Friday. We celebrated by taking a trip to Ft. Wayne. We went to the History Center, it was a neat museum with history about Ft. Wayne and northeast Indiana. The kids had fun looking at all of the displays. Then we went and walked around Parkview Field, had lunch and did some shopping. The highlight of Elizabeth's day was having her pictures taken. She got to pick out her favorite dress and had fun posing for the camera.

On Sunday we had her birthday party. Every time someone asked her what she wanted for her birthday she said cake, so she was a happy girl on Sunday.

I just liked this picture of them all together at the History Center.

Jeff posing with the kids before they ran around the concourse. I opted to just sit and watch while Jeff walked behind them.

Elizabeth blowing out the candles on her cake!

First Tooth

2010-10-12T20:23:00.000-04:00

Well, we've entered another phase of life here at the Wolheter house. We are now a house that has kids with holes in their mouths. Wesley lost his first tooth today. There has been much anticipation of this day around here, because it has been wiggly for about a month. It finally happened, and in quite dramatic fashion I might add. We were having lunch (pancakes) when Wesley said, "Ahhh!" Then his tooth popped out on the table. "It didn't even hurt." was his next statement. He is very proud of his missing tooth, and we are very proud of him! :)

2010-09-27T22:25:00.001-04:00

Contrary to what it would appear by the pathetic attempt made to keep this blog up to date this summer, we are still alive & well! Here are some recent pictures of the kids. I told them if they took a nice picture I would let them have a silly one, so you get to see both. Have a wonderful day!

Wesley's Preschool Graduation

2010-05-20T22:41:00.003-04:00

Wesley has been in preschool at the YMCA here in Kendallville for the last two years. On Monday night they had graduation. Jeff and I have both had the privilege of going on some of Wesley's field trips and helping out with some activities during preschool. It has been a real joy to seem Wesley learn, have fun, and get to know his classmates. Here are a few pictures from graduation!

The Picture Pretty Much Explains Itself :)

2010-04-27T15:30:00.000-04:00

Splash Universe

2010-04-05T18:53:00.001-04:00

Jeff's brother John & his wife Kim gave us a gift card to Splash Universe in Shipshewana (an indoor water park) last Christmas. So, at the end of March we took a few days at went over there. We went over on Monday checked into our room and went to explore the water park. That night we at supper, saw a puppet show, and swam some more. The next day we got up, checked out of our room, but were able to enjoy the water park the rest of the day. The weather was beautiful so we had a picnic lunch outside before swimming some more. Needless to say, the kids were exhausted by the time we got home that night and they slept really well. Thanks John & Kim for the great gift, we had a wonderful time!

I'm sure you can guess how much "sleeping" went on :)

This is how Elizabeth spent most of her time.

Wesley going down the big slide with Dad!

Ethan loved the little slides, he would put the ball

in front of him and catch it at the bottom.

The boys loved sliding down together.

Having a picnic lunch on a beautiful day!

Purdue Game

2010-02-24T23:09:00.000-05:00

Back in December before Christmas, we had the opportunity to take the kids and go with my family to a Purdue Basketball game. We had a great time!

Our Beautiful Crazy Children

2009-12-08T11:06:00.001-05:00

Well, after a few computer slow downs, and me not being on top of things again, here is a new post. I know, I'm biased, but I think they are adorable. Here is the miracle behind the first picture. It was a Sunday morning, and Elizabeth had a new dress on (thanks Nana & Papa), so naturally I wanted a picture. (Amazingly enough we were actually running a little ahead of schedule.) So I took a few of each of the kids by themselves, then I said, "Okay let's take one with all of you." You are never going to believe what happened next. They all stood in a line, smiled, and looked at me!!! All at the same time.
Now, normally in a situation like this, I would drop the camera, someone would sneeze, look away, poke someone next to them, roll their eyes back in their head, make a goofy face, or something else would happen. However, today was a day like none other. I pushed the button and the picture took. (I even got it loaded onto the computer without a problem.) It happened so quickly and smoothly, I almost pinched myself. So, since things went so well, I let them take a silly picture, which explains the other photo :)

Indianapolis Zoo

2009-10-29T22:54:00.000-04:00

Last week we took a trip down to Indy to go to the Zoo. We were able to go with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. We've been attempting to go all together for about a year and a half, so it was nice to be able to finally to do it. It was a great time together as a family. Afterwords we went back and had pizza at my Mom & Dad's. We all had a great time!

The kids had a great time checking out all of the animals.

The Meerkats were the favorite of the day.

Papa & Elizabeth checking out the bears.

Stephanie & I were really excited about the desert exhibit.
Just like when we were kids.

Thanks Mom and Dad for the great day!
You can see the excitement in their faces.

Our Baby is 2

2009-10-21T22:00:00.001-04:00

I am a week overdue on this post, but I wanted to wait until we had her party this weekend. Elizabeth turned 2 on the 15th. It's hard to believe she has been with us for over 2 years now. The time seems to have flown by. It has been so much fun to see her beautiful personality come out. She loves people (once she gets to know them), and is always ready for an adventure. She absolutely adores her older brothers and has such a sweet personality. We are so thankful for her and can't wait to see what God has in store for her life. Elizabeth you are such a blessing and a joy to have around! We love you very much!

Apple Festival

2009-10-09T16:26:00.000-04:00

The Apple Festival was in Kendallville last weekend. That means time for Apple Bowling (thanks Stephanie for the wonderful idea.) It is such a fun weekend, and a really easy way to serve in our community. Plus the food is awesome! :)The weather didn't start out great on Saturday, but got better as the weekend went on. The kids had fun on Saturday and would have come back on Sunday, but that was when our family began the week of sickness :) Everyone seems to be better now, yeah!

Elizabeth & Mommy having a great time!

Wesley Apple Bowling.Ethan not wanting his picture taken :)Jeff working on Saturday before he was really sick :(Dennis & I in front of the Apple Bowling booth.

There were more, I just don't have their pictures for some reason.

Reading Time & Some Fun Pictures

2009-10-02T23:34:00.001-04:00

Books are a big deal in our house. Everyone loves to read, and we are really thankful for that. Here are just a few reading pictures.

Here are a few fun pictures of the kids. Elizabeth loves to pick out her clothes & shoes. She also loves to put her dresses on, so below is a picture of her at church.

A few weeks ago we went one of Dustin's (Jeff's nephew) football games. The kids all had a great time yelling "Dusty" from the stands. Afterwords he even stopped so they could have their picture taken with him. Of course Elizabeth wouldn't go anywhere near him, but there are a few cute ones of the boys.

A Few Fun Pictures

2009-09-19T16:37:00.000-04:00

Here are a few fun pictures from around our house recently. No rhyme or reason, just random.

Enjoying the lake!Elizabeth cuddling up with Daddy. :)

Dad & Ethan driving the pontoon.

Wesley being goofy.

Wesley is 5

2009-09-08T23:53:00.000-04:00

Our little Wesley turned 5 on Sunday. We are so blessed that God has given us the privilege of being his parents. He is such a blessing. Wesley truly loves everyone he meets from the moment he meets them. It is so amazing to see the young man that God is shaping him to be. Here are a few pictures of Wesley from the last 5 years. There are so many to share, but here are just a few of the highlights!

Okay, so they aren't all looking at the camera, at least they are all in the same picture and no one is crying :) They just all really wanted to eat the cake!

Indiana State Fair

2009-09-04T16:19:00.000-04:00

Here are some pictures from the Indiana State Fair this year. We hadn't been for a few years, so we were really excited to go this year. We went in the morning with my sister and dad. Then we came back after nap time with my mom and sister. The kids had lots of fun seeing all of the animals and eating junk food. Well, so did we :) I'm trying to make up for my lack of posting with lots of pictures this time!

Family Vacation Pictures

2009-08-31T21:39:00.000-04:00

Here are a few of our pictures from vacation. These are our attempts at getting a family picture. I guess they aren't too bad. We had a great time in New Jersey! It was fun to spend some time as a family just doing fun things together. I forgot how much I love the beach, and now realize that I love it even more with the kids. We had so much fun together playing in the sand and the waves.

Of course Ethan is crying :)

Fair Time

2009-07-21T00:02:00.001-04:00

We were able to spend some time up at the LaGrange County Fair before we went to church camp. The kids had a great time. Wesley and Ethan were not satisfied until they saw every animal there, and touched most of them. Elizabeth enjoyed watching them from the stroller, but didn't want to get too close. Hopefully this week we will get to the Noble County Fair since it's just a few blocks away, but we will just have to see what the rest of the week has in store for us.

2009-07-13T01:00:00.001-04:00

Here is an attempt at a family picture. Not bad for 3 kids and 6 adults. Too bad the picture is pretty light. Still a good picture. There is always hope! :)

Let's Try Again

2009-07-11T22:53:00.000-04:00

Okay, here's another attempt at keeping up with the blog, but no promises, since we have family camp this week.

Wesley's T-Ball

2009-05-12T23:23:00.000-04:00

Okay, here are some pictures from Wesley's T-Ball games and practice. Wesley really enjoys playing. He seems to be left handed, although it depends on what he feels like which hand he bats with. It is pretty fun to watch them play. He seems to have just gotten a bit taller, so that is why it appears that his pants are too big around the waist. (They are.) Oh well, I'm sure he'll fill them out again before too long. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

2009-05-04T21:51:00.000-04:00

Our sweet Ethan turned 3 yesterday. It's hard to believe how big he is getting. Now that he is 3 he decided it is okay to be a "big boy" prior to yesterday he wanted no part of this. He insisted that he was a little boy. We are so excited to see how he is learning and growing. He is very sensitive and has a very warm and welcoming smile. We are so blessed to be his parents.

Ethan with his cake. (He wanted red frosting, no matter how much food coloring I used, it still looked pink, but he was happy with it.)

2 Posts in 2 Weeks :)

2009-05-01T00:26:00.000-04:00

Okay, I don't want anyone to be too shocked, but I am posting a few new pictures. I don't want to raise anyone's expectations. Here are a few pictures from this week. We went down to Indy to celebrate my Dad's birthday with him. We had a great time visiting.

The kids love going down to Nana & Papa's house. Especially when they get to visit, GG, Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Matt, Aunt Carol & play at the playground all in the same visit. I was happy because I got to go shopping all by myself! Jeff was of course excited because he could watch ESPN. Really, it's the little things in life that keep us entertained :)

Making Up For Lost Time

2009-04-17T23:09:00.000-04:00

Okay, here are some new pictures. If there is anyone still checking our blogspot. Since it has been so long, I have included quite a few to hopefully make up for some lost time. Enjoy! Hopefully I will get the hang of this sometime soon.

Our attempt to get a picture of all 3 kids dressed up for Easter. Give us a break, Sunday mornings are busy at our house anyway. Then you add in an Easter egg hunt in the morning, we're lucky we got any picture at all that had all 3 of them in it.

Elizabeth says Happy Easter :)Ethan found an egg.

Wesley was pretty excited too.

Elizabeth found the first one, and was content to carry it around proudly while the boys looked for the rest.The kids at the park a few weeks ago. We know Elizabeth has a belly. She gets it from her dad :)We had a great picnic and play time at Bixler Lake Park a while back. The kids had a great time playing and running around outside.

Daddy with his girl.Playing tractors with the boys.Wesley eating Cherrios with chopsticks. We went to Sake
(a Japanese restaurant) in Dayton with our friends the Cougles a few weeks ago. It was great to see them again!Ethan loves to have his picture taken (when he feels like it.)

2009-01-29T15:47:00.000-05:00

Okay, since I have been so bad at posting new pictures, here is one of each of the kiddos recently, and I will try and get some others up soon :)

Fun Times in Indianapolis

2008-12-26T21:20:00.000-05:00

Today we went to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. It was wonderful to spend time as a family outside of the hospital :) Everyone had a great time especially the kids!

Decorating Our Tree

2008-12-22T23:14:00.000-05:00

Well, I was doing a pretty good job of keeping up with pictures. Here are some pictures from when we decorated our tree. The kids had a great time and have really enjoyed having the tree in the house. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas celebrating our Savior's birth!The kids each have a Christmas ornament from Bronner's from the year they were born. They got to put them on the tree first this year. They thought it was pretty neat.

Jeff with the boys after we finished decorating. Elizabeth helped a little and then went to bed while we finished.

They boys helping Jeff put on the lights. They followed him around the tree carrying the lights. It was really cute!

Getting Our Christmas Tree

2008-11-29T23:38:00.001-05:00

We went and cut down our Christmas tree this year. It was a beautiful day, not too cold and very sunny. We didn't have a tree last year since we moved right before Christmas so we are all extra excited to get one this year. The kids had a great time as well!

Here is our tree!

Ethan watching the Clydesdales pulling us out to get our tree.

Wesley running through the trees trying to find the right one.

Elizabeth and Mommy, next year she will be running around as well :)

Wesley Playing Basketball

2008-11-26T23:49:00.001-05:00

We signed Wesley up for PeeWee basketball at the YMCA this fall. The coaches have way more patience than I do :) He is the youngest kid on his team, but he seems to be really enjoying it. Here are some pictures from his first game, the lighting is not good in the gym, therefore the quality of the pictures isn't great. I am going to try to get better ones in the upcoming weeks.Wesley warming up for the game.

Wesley playing defense.

Wesley waiting to get back in the game.

Wesley running down the court, probably talking to someone :)

2008-11-10T00:08:00.000-05:00

They are so cute, I just love these guys!

2008-10-22T21:32:00.000-04:00

I can't believe it, but Elizabeth is 1 year old! She is so much fun to have around, and she loves to get in a play rough with her brothers. We are thankful for this past year with her!

Ethan loves doing puzzles! It is fun to watch as he discovers more and more how things work. We can almost always hear him singing somewhere in the house.

Wesley being cheesy! He loves going to preschool and sharing Jesus with those around him. He is getting to be such a big boy and is very helpful around the house (most of the time). :)

A Few Random Pictures

Wesley's First Day at Preschool

2008-09-03T22:48:00.000-04:00

Okay, so I have done a horrible job of putting pictures up. Well, here are pictures of Wesley's first day at preschool. He is going to the YMCA preschool 2 days a week for 2 hours, and he loves it. I will try to do a better job at keeping up, sorry :)

2008-06-10T11:53:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! I started trying cereal this week, but I don't really know what to do with it, so I just let it sit in my mouth and cry. It makes my Mom really happy :)

I can't really explain this picture, it just kind of fits each of them. Wesley's always looking at someone else. Ethan loves to pose for the camera. Elizabeth, well, she's thinking, "What are you guys doing?" :)

Here's a picture of Mom and her crazy kids :) I just love them!

2008-02-26T17:01:00.001-05:00

Here's Wesley playing with Elizabeth the other day, the boys both love to kiss on her. She is always watching and smiling at them. :)

2008-02-10T16:26:00.001-05:00

The boys just love their baby sister. They both get down on the floor and play with her and she just smiles back at them. It's so fun to watch. Enjoy the pictures below!

2008-02-10T16:24:00.001-05:00

Wesley fell asleep on the couch one day. When Ethan got up from his nap, we went to snuggle with him. Wesley actually stayed asleep, they were really cute! :)

Here are some new pictures, sorry it's been a while, we are still trying to get settled in the new house. Enjoy, maybe I'll get some more up soon.

Jeff put Ethan & Wesley in the dryer at John & Kim's. Of course he didn't turn it on, but they thought it was lots of fun.

I know it's been awhile, but we've been busy moving again :) Here is a recent picture of Elizabeth and I. There are also a few below of the wonderful big brothers. Enjoy!

The boys sharing popcorn!

The boys were playing the other day, aren't they cute. I have no idea what they were looking for or at, but they were entertained for a while playing this game. There are some pictures of Elizabeth just scroll down a bit.

2007-11-09T16:37:00.001-05:00

Ethan fell asleep in his highchair the other day. He didn't want to eat his peas as you can see the spoon in front of him. The next picture is really funny.

2007-11-09T16:35:00.001-05:00

He was snoring in this picture!

Grandma Gorton "GG" for Great-Grandma with Elizabeth.

Grandma Wolheter with Wesley, Ethan, & Elizabeth.

2007-11-06T16:20:00.001-05:00

Four generations of girls: my grandma Elizabeth Jane, my mom Janet Mae, me Andrea Leigh, and my daughter Elizabeth Kay. How fun is that! :)

2007-10-23T22:35:00.001-04:00

Here is Elizabeth enjoying some time on her Boppy. She is a wonderful baby and the boys just love her. Maybe a little too much actually, I am constantly telling them not to touch her. :)

2007-10-23T22:33:00.001-04:00

Here is our first family photo! :)

2007-10-23T22:23:00.001-04:00

Here is a great picture of Wesley, Ethan, & Elizabeth with both Jeff's and my parents. We all had a great time celebrating together after Elizabeth was born.

2007-10-15T22:20:00.002-04:00

Elizabeth Kay Wolheter was born at 12:49 am on October 15th. Here she is later that morning with her proud brothers. She was 8 lbs 1 oz and 21 & 3/4 inches long. We are all doing well. Wesley seems to enjoy her, and Ethan just points at her and says "baby." We will update with more pictures soon!

2007-10-15T22:18:00.001-04:00

This is Ethan's attempt to hold Elizabeth. We had to keep telling him not to touch her face.

2007-10-15T22:16:00.001-04:00

Wesley wanted to hold Elizabeth from the moment he walked into the hospital room. He got his chance :)

Dad, Mom, & Elizabeth

2007-09-28T10:58:00.001-04:00

Here are some new pictures. Enjoy them. I thought this picture was good, because first of all, I couldn't keep a shirt on either boy that day, and then Ethan wouldn't let me take his picture without charging the camera. :)

2007-09-28T10:56:00.001-04:00

The boys playing in the sand!

2007-09-28T10:52:00.001-04:00

This is what the boys do a lot. Pull books off of the shelf and read them all. Then we get to put them all back.

2007-09-28T10:49:00.000-04:00

Christy, Karen, & Allison had a little shower for us this week. It was great to see everyone again. Especially Karen's little boy Anderson. I would have had a picture of him, but I forgot until he was asleep. Oh well, next time! Allison is expecting now too! Thanks girls for everything! :)

2007-09-28T10:48:00.001-04:00

We went to Wendy's one night and the boys were enjoying playing with the sign. I happened to have my camera, so I figured I better take some pictures.

2007-09-28T10:46:00.001-04:00

Having fun!

2007-09-28T10:44:00.001-04:00

Wesley & Mom enjoying playing outside! I just love these little guys! :)

Wesley splashing in the water. Look at all of the seaweeds that grew up after the flooding. I just avoid them, but Jeff swims right through them :) Yuck!

2007-09-19T21:15:00.001-04:00

Here are some other pictures of the boys over the past few months. Enjoy!

2007-09-19T21:13:00.001-04:00

I know it's been awhile again, I really am trying to get better about posting more often. The pictures below are a bunch of random ones. Also, there are some of Wesley's 3rd birthday party. This is a picture of Ethan & Wesley playing the tackle game. It is one of their favorites. I think it's pretty self explanatory :)

2007-09-11T22:04:00.000-04:00

Wesley posing with his birthday cake.

2007-09-11T21:50:00.000-04:00

We brought the car seats in one day, and the boys decided they were ready to go for a ride.

2007-09-11T21:49:00.001-04:00

Not that anyone looks here to see pictures of us, but here was a good one my mom took, so I thought I would put it up on the webpage.

2007-09-11T21:46:00.000-04:00

Roasting hot dogs one night by the fire.

Wesley with the offering bucket on his head. He loves to entertain anyone who will watch.

2007-09-11T21:42:00.000-04:00

Jeff gave Wesley spiked hair after they went swimming and Wesley wanted his picture taken.
