CHOO CHOO

Chugga chugga....chugga chugga......choo choo!! We spent a lovely Saturday afternoon at Lacey & Josh's house. The rest of the crew had gotten there earlier in the day to make tamales. We arrived in time for the Mexican feast...Branden had made a HUGE pot of green chile to share. Yum!!! Kamarin & her cousin Shaine wanted to hit the mall, so the Mom's drove them into Tucson for a mall expedition. After a night of coyote howls & much visiting, we headed home Sunday morning. But, before we got on the freeway we had to visit the train tracks. Over 90 trains a day, travel these lines...we squashed coins, & collected all kinds of train souvenirs.



The train was very fast & really loud....notice that Everett watched from the safety of the truck cab. We found almost all of the coins we had placed on the track. It was a really fun experience & one that will not soon be forgotten.

SICK DAY CAMP OUT

Poor Everett is perpetually sick....we can't seem to get rid of this sinus infection & he has an ear infection too. We have been staying on top of his asthma treatment plan, & fortunately with this bout, we have kept the wheezing at bay. Thank goodness!! He spent the day in his tent, eating snacks & playing games of his making.

HERE SHE IS!!

The waiting is over....the cheer uniform is here!! She is proud & loud! Go Kamarin, go Kamarin...go-go-go Kamarin!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!

The many faces of Gherald Lynn Hoopes, Jr. Sorry we can't be with you on your birthday...we are thinking of you!! Hopefully, you will get all of the presents your heart desires!! See you on Saturday! Happy Birthday!

Kamarin has been so excited to be joining the ranks of cheerleader's everywhere. She doesn't miss a night of stretching & we get lots of clapping & jumping! Her brother's think she is crazy!!! She comes home from practice & says just how much fun she is having. She can't wait to wear her cheer uniform! We are soooo proud of you baby!
