Caught Up

This inflatable jet pack made his whole costume

homemade dragon costume cost almost as much to make as buying a costume. Lots of fun to make and Cara liked it but it wasn't practical to wear around. I ended up carrying her head and tail by the end of the night

Kylie the angel, Kylee Supergirl, Jeremy???, Karissa goth pixie, Caleb Buzz Lightyear, Cara dragon

In a backwards way I am all caught up with pics and blogs. Go to the first blog in November and work your way to the top and you will be all caught up with the Wimberley family.

1st grade field trip

Cara's first grade class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch. They got to go on a hay ride and have a picnic and pick out a pumpkin. Cara wanted a tiny pumpkin but she had to settlr for a small one. She got to ride on a school bus(taht got lost). I think she had a fun time. It was fun for me to get to focas on one of the kids at a time and I think Cara enjoyed the one on one attention.

This was our 6 mile hike we decided to take before we drove 6 hours home on Sunday. We hiked with 6 kids and 4 adults but Kirk had just run 37 1/2 miles on Saturday. The rock formation in the back is called the lighthouse.

Kirk after his first 12.5 mile loop. Lookin' good honey!!

Our kids the rock climbers. There were awesome rocks behind our camp that the kids had a blast pretending were their hideouts. Obviously, I have a to more pics but I won't post them all here. Suffice it to say it is very beautiful in the canyon in a deserty kind of way.

WHAT'S THAT & THAT &THAT &THAT??????

I forgot to mention on Caleb's birthday our friends the Martins took him to an airplane exhibit. Jeremy works on C130's and he took Caleb to his work to explore the bigplanes. Caleb loved it and still talks about Mr. Sheramy's work with the big planes.When Caleb sat in the captains chair they said he asked "what's this?" about 100 times about every button and lever in the cockpit:)

So Much to do , so little time

I have been waiting for Kirk to upload some pictures to our big computer from the laptop so I can blog with pictures. I guess I could have just blogged on the laptop but I am more comfortable on our office computer. I can't believe it has been two monthes since I blogged.

First and foremost, September 21st, Karissa and Cara were baptized. It was a really awesome day and I am very proud of them both.

Caleb turned 3 on the 22nd and had a Buzz Lightyear party. I had to order his stuff from ebay because Buzz is old news. We bought him a Buzz costume for Halloween. By far, his favorite gift was his trains and train table(that I bought for $10 at a garage sale).

September 25th Karissa had her 10th birthday. We took her and a FEW friends to a jump house place. It was a lot of fun and we plan to take our family back sometime, soon.

In other news, Kylie and Caleb and I all dropped out of school. In hindsight it is one of the best decisions we have made. I work fewer hours at the salon for the same money and Caleb and Kylie are much happier. Kylie is actually herself, again. She will start kidergarten next fall. She is already reading and we will continue to work on that for the rest of this year. Caleb is back into his normal schedule and loves being at home. He also loves having Kylie to play with. He is getting more boy and more agressive the older he gets.

I really don't remember what else we've done. We headed to Palo Duro Canyon for Kirk's 50 mile run, October16th. Our friends, the Martins went with us. It was perfect weather and we all had fun. I was sick with fever one night but we still had a great time. Kirk is allready planning his next 50 miler at Huntville in December. I am sure he will blog about his run or if you want the details he can e-mail his run report to you.

When we returned we had Cara's birthday party. she always has really unigue ideas for her parties. Cara had a dragon party. We made dragon hats ordered from Oriental Trading and then Kirk dressed up like a dragon and the kids attacked him with water balloons. They had to rescue mini treasure chests from the dragon's nest. I made a dragon cake. It was fun to make and the kids liked it.
