HADLEY

WELL, HERE'S SOME UPDATED PICTURES ON HADLEY. AFTER SEEING HIS BROTHERS IN THE MUD HE FIGURED THAT IT WAS HIS TURN. IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU SEE A COLORED BOY WITH BLUE EYES. HADLEY WILL BE TURNING 3 IN JANUARY AND IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE WHOLE POTTY TRAINED THING, UNFORTUNATELY HE RECOGNIZES THE NEED TO GO JUST AFTER THE DAMAGE IS DONE. HE WON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN SCHOOL STARTS UP AGAIN AND HIS OLDER BROTHERS ARE GONE ALL DAY. WE GET THE SAME QUESTION FROM HIM EVERY MORNING "I GO SWIMMING TODAY?" WE ARE RAISING OUR KIDS IN THE WRONG TOWN FOR THEM TO ENJOY SWIMMING SO MUCH-THEY'LL JUST HAVE TO GET THEIR SWIMMING THRILLS FROM OUR SEASONAL MUD HOLE IN THE FRONT YARD.

BORING DINNERS?

LOOKS LIKE LENA NEEDS TO ADD A LITTLE MORE COLOR, SGAR AND CAFFEINE TO HER MEALS TO MAKE SURE OUR KIDS ARE GETTING ALL THEIR NUTRIENTS.

ROCKY

ROCKY IS NOW PUSHING 10 MONTHS AND IS STRUGGLING TRYING TO GET AROUND. THE WHOLE CRAWLING THING JUST ISN'T SINKING IN. BESIDES THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH NEED TO CRAWL BECAUSE HE IS OFTEN CARRIED OR DRAGGED TO HIS DESTINATION. IF I WERE HIM I WOULD SKIP THE WHOLE CRAWLING AND WALKING STAGE AND GO RIGHT FOR THE RUNNING STAGE. ROCKY IS SUCH A CONTENT LITTLE BOY-MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE ARE USED TO. HE LOVES WATER (SWIMMING), EATING, DRINKING FROM A "BIG BOY" CUP (EVEN THOUGH THE MAJORITY GOES DOWN HIS FRONT). HE DOESN'T LIKE BEING CONFINED (I WONDER WHY) OR LEFT ALL ALONE- HE WANTS YOU TO "LOOK NOT TOUCH."

LITTLE LEAGUE

TIMMY PLAYED COACH PITCH THIS YEAR AND CAEL AND KI PLAYED T-BALL. THEY ENJOYED IT A LOT AND IMPROVED A LOT. I HOPE I CAN CONTINUE COACHING BASEBALL LONG ENOUGH TO COACH THEM AND THEIR TEAMMATES IN HIGH SCHOOL. THERE WERE A LOT OF GREAT ATHLETES IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

SICK OF BEING WHITE TRASH

YOU WOULD THINK THAT CAEL SLEW KI AND RECEIVED THE CURSE OF CAIN...
BUT KI'S STILL ALIVE. I GUESS IT'S JUST THE CURSE OF "DIRTY DIRT."
WHO SAYS THERE'S NOTHING TO DO IN HEBER. INSTRUCTIONS: ADD WATER TO LOW SPOT IN FRONT YARD, LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, SPREAD EVENLY OVER ENTIRE BODY, AND BAKE IN THE SUN UNTIL DONE.
