Kaleb's 11th Birthday Photo Shoot

For Kaleb's birthday photo shoot, I wanted to go to a place that showed the beautiful fall foliage of Colorado. I found this perfect place at a park by the river in Dolores, CO. Fall pictures for a fall birthday.

I took lots more pictures than this, but these are the best of them. Kaleb was a wonderful model and we had alot of fun. Happy Birthday Kaleb!

Homecoming Parade 2012

School got out early on Friday so everyone could participate in the Homecoming Parade.

Kaleb and Cole rode on a float for their football team.

Landon and I sat with friends to watch the parade.

Landon loaded up on candy they were throwing out of the floats.

The fire trucks were loud.

We had a great time at the parade. It was good to see lots of people we know there.

We went to the homecoming game that night. I will have a few pictures from the game in another post.

Kaleb's 11th Birthday!

Kaleb turned 11 on Monday. I can't believe he is already 11! We had a small family party and he got lots of fun presents.

He chose a vanilla cake with white icing for his cake and Pizza Hut for his birthday dinner.

He used the money he got from Grandpa and Ann and Mamaw and Papaw Slate to buy an iPod to listen to music.

He got a new scout shirt and book because at 11, he begins boy scouts.

He got a new pocket knife to use in boy scouts too.

We had a nice evening and I know Kaleb had a great birthday. I will post his birthday photo shoot hopefully next week.

Animal Planet

We have an abundance of animal life going on at our house.

We finished the landscaping in the front yard.

I threw out some apples in the yard, which the deer found pretty quickly.

They don't usually come this close to the house, but they will if there is something to eat.

The cats love roaming around while I water the trees.

This lizard was on the side of the house.

I found a snake while watering the newly planted landscaping.

And a tarantula was out in the field. 

I don't love spiders or snakes, but it is fun to see the wildlife when it comes around.
