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!

Just had to get out of town!

We decided we would go and spend the weekend in San Antonio, just to get out of town. San Antonio is a town deep with Texas History and Culture. So when I asked the Girls what they wanted to see I got the obvious answer "The Mall!".
Well, That just wasn't good enough for Dad, So I dragged them all out in the 100 degree plus weather to see the "Alamo". They were so excited! Can you not tell from the picture, they could hardly contain themselves.


After dragging them to the Alamo we need to go some were "cool" both in temperature and for the kids. So we headed to Ripley's Believe It or Not! and the Wax Museum. The temp was right and the kids had fun! Even if I did make them sit in the Big Tire.


We also hit the malls (for to long if you ask me, and not long enough if you ask the girls)and went to the Magic Time Machine for dinner, where Snow White was our waitress.


All in all, I think we had a good time.

Schools out for Summer!!!!

Schools out for Summer!
Well not really if you are Alisha, she starts summer school tomorrow, so she can attend Cosmetology School next year. Brittney is in Dallas for Cheer Camp. Celsee has Cheer Camp in a couple of weeks and then Girls Camp for church is just around the corner. Hunter just wants to spend his days at the beach. No big plans for the summer. We are looking forward to Amy's sister coming to visit this summer. We are looking forward to seeing them ALL!!!! (Hint! Hint! Wendy and Pat) Anyways we should have a Bathroom Up date posted soon because that is what I get to finish this summer!
Look for more summer fun to follow.

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)
