Kay boys fishing trip

The boys decided to do an annual get-a-way trip and this year went fishing. We went on july 31 and Aug 1 when it rained so danged hard. We got rained out but still had a good time. We started on the south fork of the Boise and ended up at Halverson. Some of the pictures in reverse order are of the whole group, Logan doing a pretty good job of fly casting, Justin Hyer helping undo a rats nest in one of the boys lines, Logan letting Justin Kay's fish go ect. Other than the 1.25 hour drive around the reservoir on a one lane road and a steep drop off, it was great. The photo on top is of the biggest bluegill I've ever caught and Huistean showed where it was.

Hard Work at the Kay Family Reunion!

He did what I told him to.

I tell Tate, "I'm going to tell you your spelling words and you write them on the back of your spelling word paper cuz you can't see the word you are writing ." I give him the word and I see him close his eyes and write the word on the paper (pretty good with eyes closed). I'm thinking, wow, that's some major concentration. I ask, "Tate why are you closing your eyes?" Tate said, "you told me I could't see the word that I'm writing!

Tate's first day of First Grade

Tate's first day of First grade. He's most excited to have lunch and recess. I'm such a worrier, he was pretty clingy this morning. I hope he has a good day, and makes friends easily. I'll cry if his first day is bad for him.

Update on the 2007 babies

We were missing one of our "07 in 07" babies here is an update of the others.

Hey all here are a few photos from our Kay Family Reunion. It was great to see everyone and we missed those of you who couldn't make it. A special thanks to Dane and Jan for being so gracious to let us use the "party house" It is so wonderful to be a part of such an AWESOME family. Love to all.

The power was out when we got home for dinner. Soooo.... We grilled hamburgers outside (well Todd did in the rain and wind) lol He's such a trooper. Then we ate in the house by candlelight. Tate asked if we were having dinner like a "fancy restaurant". I said, "Sure! We are having dinner by candlelight!" The kids were excited. I asked them what our fancy restaurant should be named. I suggested the "Spaulding Inn" I should have known that was not cool enough for Tate. So Tate suggested "Kirbees". For those of you that don't know, Kirby is a video game character.

Let me tell ya.... not knowing when our power would be back on, it made me think about emergency preparedness. We were not really prepared to spend the night in the dark. So I think next time, we will be.

This is another picture I found from our Ocean Shores trip. Pretty cool.
