Exploring their world!
Samantha and Koby with the babies

Babies are born!

2007-10-27T12:50:00.000-07:00

Samantha had babies and she had many! A total of 13 when a typical batch of babies is around 5 or 6. She was extremely large and miserable.
Already getting used to the human touch!

Koby's turns 6

2007-10-27T12:44:00.000-07:00

Koby hates chocolate. When asked what he wanted for his birthday cake he said he wanted Pumpkin Pie so we had pumpkin pie in August. He is really into sea life so Lana put blue food coloring in some Cool Whip and put assorted sea animals on top.

Typical Koby

Blowing out Candles!

Samantha and Elijah's Wedding!!!

2007-10-27T12:22:00.000-07:00

So we want Samatha to have babies so Elijah and Samantha are to be married so a ceremony was planned by Great Grandma Marie and Grandma Lana with much input from the Father of the Bride, Koby. Much disgust from Great Grandpa Don but everyone participated. Great Grandpa Ted was in charge of the music. There were smiles all around and Koby and his cousins and brother had a blast.

Here is the Groom... isn't he handsome?
Here is the Bride ready to take on this grand adventure!

Here comes the Groom with his handler and the Judge who will perform the ceremony
Here comes the ring girl...
Here comes the bride with her handler who just happens to be her father...
How sweet!!!
The ceremony...

The kiss!*%!@!
The cake was enjoyed by the bride and groom!

Spencer is totally into Calvin and Hobbes and so for his Birthday he wanted a SpaceMan Spiff cake... for those of you who don't know this is Calvin's alter ego when he escapes his life this is who he becomes

Great decorations Mom cheap and very easy to clean up. For those of you who haven't been to the Firemans house this is the sliding glass door going out to the backyard.
Great cake Spencer. Notice the shirt Spencer is wearing.

Bryan's Recent Accomplishment

2007-06-21T11:10:00.001-07:00

Bryan recently attended a 5-day extensive course to become a Public Safety Scuba Instructor. It was taught by an ex-navy seal so it was emotionally hard as well as physically demanding. I'm happy to say that he passed... Phewww!! I feel safe with Bryan out on the boat!! The course was taught in Colorado by Dive Rescue International.

Now Bryan will be able to instruct his co-diving firefighters and he can teach anyone they don't have to be a public servant. He could teach you and me. I'm not sure how much general teaching he'll be doing but a great accomplishment for his resume (CV).

Congratulations Bryan!!!

Eagle Fun Days

2007-06-20T14:05:00.000-07:00

The parade comes to Eagle - the funnest part of the parade is the last part when those who come through have water and its a big water fight. Of course by the time this occurs everyone is hot enough that water is welcomed.

On May 19th Lana completed her goal of running in a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). Unfortunately there were no individuals with cameras around to catch the event in progress.
Her time was 2:25:09.
Here are some websites you can visit I'm not sure how long they will be present for viewing..
