Class of 2009

Emily is graduating on Friday, May 29, 2009. The graduation will be held at the North Server High School (Salina) at 8:00 p.m. Anyone who who would like to come is invited.

You are also invited to eat dinner with us at the Salina park at 6:00 p.m. We will be having Subway sandwiches, chips and salads. Please let me know if you are planning to eat with us so I can make sure we have enough food.

Amy also has 8th grade graduation the same day at 9:30 a.m.

Emily is 18!!!

Happy Birthday Emily

I wanted to document the whole day in pictures but Emily didn't cooperate very well. I started the day by waking her up and taking her to breakfast at Denny's but they wouldn't sing to her because it was Valentine's and they were too busy. Happy birthday Emily! We love you!!!

(Just in case you didn't notice my last three blogs are not in chronological order)

Too Much Twilight

Whitney meets Edward.

(She wishes.)

If you can't tell the picture on the cake is Whitney's face.

Happy Birthday Whitney

I don't know how but Whitney talked me into letting her have a birthday party!

This is her friends at Pizza Hut.

Bugsy Malone

Amy and Micheal were in the middle school play. It was really cute. Amy played Tallulah and Micheal played Tootle. Micheal was killed in the third scene but he made a great come back as an angel in the last scene. Amy had to walk into the audience and kiss somebody on the cheek during her solo. The first night she kissed a 10 year old boy, the second night she kissed her swim coach and the third night she kissed Whitney's old boyfriend. A picture of Amy kissing Bugsy Malone was on the front page of the Salina Sun last week. The last time any of our kids made the front page was when Zach kissed a girl in the high school play. Warning to my kids: You don't kiss anybody and not expect the whole town to know about it.

Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan

Matthew is at the Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan.

This is a letter we got from him last week:

It is not to bad here. I didn't know that it snows here, but we got about 2'' not to long ago. I almost feel at home here because the weather is about the same and there are mountains all around me. The only difference is that here everyone is in uniform and it is never quiet because of all the jets.
