Mattingly's 1st Birthday

Today was Mattingly's 1st birthday. We had a party tonight with the family. She got a doll, stuffed lamb and some clothes. She had cake and ice cream and even ate some.

Its not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room.

So this year Nathan decided that we would trek into the great outdoors and cut down our own Christmas tree. In years past we have had a fake tree. So we headed up to the Panaca/Pioche area.

Dad? Did you bring a saw?

Looks great! A little full.....a lot of sap.

Thanksgiving '08

Nicholas, Mattingly, and Chloe

Tara and Daphne

This year we had Thanksgiving at Nathan's parent's house. Alot of his family was there. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins, they don't get to see them very often. Tara and Daphne are still "best friends" though.

Thanksgiving Program

Bobby's kindergarten Thanksgiving program was held last Tuesday. (What, so I'm behind.) Bobby didn't do much singing. At one point the kid next to him broke his headdress. He tried to fix it, and then the other kid next to him tried to fix it. They couldn't so they passed it to Bobby. Who fixed it and rather quickly. LOL That's Dad's boy. A Bradford man through and through.
