Welcome Home Party for Tim!

September 4, 2010 we hosted a welcome home party for Tim! Katja got a bath and her favorite piggy hooded towel!

Daddy's my hero!
Some of our guests at the party: Laura and Mark Roden, Ed Craig, Tim, Pastor Kim Conway, Patty Craig, and Kyla. The theme of our party was bring something to share that you'd miss if you were gone from home for 8.5 months. We had normal BBQ food, lots of varieties of chocolate chip cookies, sushi and chicken wings!
More party guests: Tom Wheeler, Ralph Nader, Katharyn Wheeler and Nancy Nader.
Another view with Nathan Roden in the picture.
Dan and Phil talking with Ginger.
Guests not pictured, kids of those pictured: Olivia and Paige Roden, Madelyn and Rysa Wheeler, Taylor and Eddie Craig, and the Jackson Family Stuart, Lynn, Hailey and Lima Bean (baby due in March)!
Little Katja had too much excitement playing with the kids at the party and fell asleep!
Katja wasn't the only one who fell asleep. Tim was passed out on the couch by 6pm!
Luella was no where near ready to fall asleep. Good thing Granddaddy was ready to play!

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
