Alisha's Induction into the National Honor Society

Alisha was 1 of 60 out of here class of 650 to be inducted into the National Honor Society on 12 April. She is so intelligent and impresses us with her values and courage. This next year will be full of applying to universities and scholarships.
I am so jealous of her and wish I was half as smart. I can't believe she is all grown up.

Hunter's 5th Birthday

Hunter had his 5th birthday on the 12th of April and was excited with all the gifts he got. He is growing up so fast and amazes us each day with his imagination and talents.

One year Uniform Free!

Chaos Continues!

Sorry, I have be side tracked with Facebook as of late and haven't had much time to update the blog. So what have we been up to? Well lets see... We had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Some snow would have been nice, but this is West Texas, so we got a nice covering of dust. Following the Holiday break we tried to salvage what was left of hunting season, no such luck. We ended the season with one axis doe, two whitetail does and two whitetail spikes between Celsee and I. Now we are just waiting for spring turkey season. January and February were busy with cheerleading and orchestra practices.

Alisha was busy preparing for Cosmo competition. She did an awesome job on her dragonfly hairstyle for her mannequin and her Algonquin fingernail art. She didn't place with her Nail Art, so she doesn't get to go to State, but everyone says she should have taken first place. She thanks Jason Clark for the inspiration.



We were also busy with the family Pinewood Derby at the church. I spent a week on Hunter's Lightning McQueen car and he took third place, I blame the lane for not getting first.



Darby was busy getting ready for her live museum at school, she was Betsy Ross. She did all the research herself and did an excellent job.


Amy and I made it to the range for a double date with some friends. It still scares me that my wife is a better shot with a hand gun than I am. I was fun none the less.



The kids got a snow day from school and had fun making a Snowman. This was the second time we got snow this winter. Global Warming... not to sure that is really happening.



On Valentines Day Amy and I awoke to a walls covered in hearts. The kids got up early and made it a really nice surprise.


I have even found time to mount a few turkey tails.


Needless to say we have been staying busy. I know there are many things I don't remember. Oh yeah, Alisha now has her license to drive, I know, SCARY! Currently, we have begun finishing the bathroom remodel that started last year, look for future updates on that. We are also planning our 6000 mile round trip to Montana and Minnesota this summer. Hopefully it won't take me three months to update the blog again. See ya'll later, and come on back ya'll.

KALDOR CHAOS

Chaos doesn't even come close to describing us! Last post was November 1st so here is what else has been going on.

Celsee celebrated her 13th birthday, you are correct, that means I have three teenage daughters. I would never wish such a thing even on my worst enemy.


Amy celebrated her birthday also! I don't dare say the age, but she still has a good set of lungs.


Brittney and Celsee finished up the Football Cheer Season. Brittney made her goal of being able to do a back hand spring. Celsee will be off to Nationals in Dallas in a few weeks.


Amy made an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, which we shared with Alisha's boyfriend Cheyenne.


We had a snow day, this is the most snow I think we have seen since coming to Texas. Hunter was mad because it was all gone by mid-afternoon.


Alisha has been busy with Cosmo school, her and her friends find plenty of time to practice on each other. My house smells like perm and color solutions.



Alisha, Brittney, and Celsee all had their Young Women in Excellence night at Church. They all had some amazing accomplishments this year.


Celsee had her Christmas Orchestra Concert and did an outstanding job.


We found time this last weekend to go to The Church Christmas Party, it was a Night in Bethlehem. They produced a small reenactment of Jesus Birth. Alisha was Mary, Celsee and Darby sang a song, and Brittney made Joesph's costume. Apparently, according to Celsee,everyone was jealous of her mad curtain opening abilities.


Hunter stays busy driving everyone crazy and being cool, just like his Dad!


Somewhere in the middle of this the girls all got A's and we managed to get three Whitetail deer, an Axis deer, and a turkey. An watch the Grizzlies make it to another FCS Championship game. All this in less than 6 weeks. Now all we have to do is get ready for X-mas, Oh crap, X-mas! AMY!!!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween

We had a Great Halloween this year. It started with the Alisha and Brittney going to a church dance with several other girls from church. They went as the Pink Ladies from Grease. Alisha was the only one who really got into it, going as Frenchy and yes that is her real hair. Next it was on to the church Trunk or Treat, we took the award for Scariest Car (fourth year in a row). I think people at church think I have some serious issues. Next, Amy made eyeballs and maggots for dinner one night. Finally we got around to carving pumpkins. With having to cut out so many I decided to amp things up with some power tools this year. It made it so much easier, I will never go back to jamming a knife through a pumpkin. Finally it was Halloween! We spent the day putting the Haunted House up in the garage. Alisha's boyfriend Cheyenne was a big help. We had fun scaring people as they came through. Even sent a few kids out crying. All in all, we had a great Halloween. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Missoula Comes to Visit Us in Texas Again!!!

The girls got a chance to be in the Missoula Children's Theater again this year on Base. Even though I am no longer in the military we were able to have the girls participate in Beauty Lou and the Country Beast. The play was a country version of Beauty and the Beast. Alisha and Celsee had the lead roles as "Beauty Lou" (older and younger). Brittney played the part of one of the sisters "Donna Rae" and Darby was one of the country folk. They worked hard for five days and put on two productions. The girls did an excellent job and the play was very cute. It was an excellent way to use up the last of their summer energy. School starts in a week and it will be back to the old grind stone. Most of the pictures didn't turn out to well, but here are few. When I get a chance to edit some video I will add that in also.

Another Cheerleader in the Mix!

Celsee made the Seventh Grade Cheerleading Squad at Glenn Middle School this year and attended her first cheer camp. She had a great time and they did very well. They received the award for Most Improved Squad and won the Spirit Stick. Here is a short video of her squad at camp.

Long awaited bathroom update 2

The Long Awaited Bathroom update 2!
Alisha and Brittney's Bathroom is 90% complete. The other bathroom about 10%, so in total we are 100% complete with one bathroom. Okay so it doesn't really work that way, but it makes me feel better to think of it that way. We should be done with it by this weekend and then no more sharing of one bathroom between seven people. Here is a good look at what it will look like. Enjoy!
