Hold them tight and kiss them goodnight.

Over the last few days I have had a difficult time coming to terms with the death of a close friend's son. Austin was a wonderful young man full of life and did as much with it as a 12 year old boy could. I had the awesome opportunity to spend time fishing and hunting with Austin and will never forget the his amazing spirit and what a gentleman he was. Dealing with his death and the unfortunate circumstances around it, made me realize how important my children our to me. It makes me think do I tell them and show them how much I love them often enough. I can not even imaging the grief and sorrow my friend and his family are going through. So if you are reading this say a prayer for them and then go and hold your family tight and always kiss them goodnight.

Happy Memorial Day! Let us not Forget!

Even though I have made my choice to no longer serve in the United States Army. I am proud of my service and the heritage that came with that service. If my children ever come to me and tell me that they wish to join the military, I will support them fully and tell them it is the most honorable profession there is. I would like to thank all my family that have had the honor of putting on a uniform. First and foremost my Father SFC Orphy H. Kaldor, my sister Lyla and brother Woody, My nephews currently serving in the U.S. Army CPT Jacob Kaldor and SPC Matthew Kaldor, My Uncle George Shipe and his son Steven Shipe, and Uncle Peter Shipe and his daughter Theresia. I would also like to thank my Father-in-law Robert Presnell for his service in the U.S. Army.



On this Memorial Day, let us not Forget the purpose of this day.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Darby's Baptism

On the 4th of May Darby Elizabeth Kaldor turned 8 years old. She made the decision to get Baptised and Confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She had a wonderful baptism, she wore a beautiful Dress that her mother had made for her which had a bow from her blessing dress attached. Someday that same bow will be attached to her wedding dress. She was very excited and happy to share this experience with her family. Her father did the baptism and got it right on the first try. (Ya we know Hailli its a miracle)

Where's Alisha?

For those who couldn't find her!

Fun at the Petting Zoo!

Dad, Brit, Darbs, and Hunterman went to the petting zoo to get out of the house for awhile. They got to see Zebras, ride camels and see all sorts of crazy creatures.













Darby and Hunter did not like the idea of have the animals at their backs. Reminds me of a time that I did that and got bit by a Camel. I don't blame them.
Check out Darby's eyes.













Darby was petrified to ride the Camel but saddled up anyways and was off at a snails pace.













It took a half and hour to convince Hunter to pet the animals then he didn't want to leave.













Brittney really liked the four horn goat.

Beauty School Here She Comes

The many stylings of Alisha will now become the many stylings of the world. Watch out World here she comes. Alisha was one of sixteen students from Central and Lake View High Schools to be accepted to Cosmetology School. She will attend half days at the West Texas Training Center and the other half a day at Central High School. We are so proud of her accomplishments. The best part is the school pays the way, saving me $4000.00 per year for the school. So if you need a hair cut, come to Texas it will be free, she will need the practice.

FRESHMAN CHEERLEADING

I (Brittney) just had cheerleader tryouts about a month ago. At the beginning of the week they taught us all the material in two days. Then we had three days to work on our own. I spent a lot of time and worked really hard for those 3 days. Then finally is was tryout day. I got to the gym, stretched and practiced a little more and then headed for the gymnastics gym(where the tryouts were actually held). I was really nervous, but I got out there and did my jumps, the cheer, and the dance with another cheerleader. I waited about half an hour and it turned out that all my effort paid off. I AM NOW A 2009-2010 CENTRAL FRESHMAN CHEERLEADER
We have two maintain three different uniforms.
