Mark, Lena, and Dane came for a Visit.

It was pure Candy eating, party time, at Uncle Brian's

It was so nice to have you guys down. We had a ball.

Hope you are having a good time everyone! Miss you all very much. My Big Project at Work is finished. Ahh. I can relax a bit and fall back to the usual insane pace at work. Jess is Kicken it in another semester at Indiana University. Stephanie is working at a Law office, earing money for her first semester and BYUI.

Big game this week. Madison Beat Jennings County High 35 to 32

This game was exciting from beginning to end. Geoff held his ground all night playing both on Defense and offense. We all screamed ourselves silly

Fall Activities

It was a good Week In Indiana. We went for a boat ride last week. Morgan got some Air

Then Morgan was on fire this week with a lot of saves in his games. His Team is doing well and they like him as Goalie because he like to Crash in to people.

Fall is a fun time of year.

Dad's Bloggin Now!

Dad is really wanting to start blogging and he's wondering why the last post was May 25th!! Come on guys! Time to start updating! It's so nice to see what's going on in your lives. Get busy! Here's a few pics for ya'll! We've had a great summer!

Geoff at Sectionals jumping a personal best at 6'2". He came in third and easily qualified for Regionals, which is this Thursday. Brian says Geoff jumps higher as a Sophomore than he did way back when. It's extra exciting for Geoff to beat his "old" man.

Spring walks in the cool trees.

The local Redwoods make for a great family walk. A beautiful example of nature-inspired courage is boldly displayed everyday in Santa Cruz. Two magnificent groves of ancient redwoods give powerful evidence there is hope for humans in their interface with nature. At State Parks in Felton, the Cowell Redwoods and at Big Basin we can experience a natural wonder. These old growth marvels were spared man's rapacity, and that is a great story. We are great to be apart of this wonder.

Keepin Up!

So, I'm not posting hardly at all on this blog, but I'm checking it so keep posting! And check out our family blog for updates on the Higbees. It's hard enough to post on my own much less both, so click on our link! I wish we could somehow get Pauls family updating. It really closes the super big gap between us! So, keep taking a moment to let us all know how things are going! Love ya!

Face Off!

A Wild Kingdom NEW YEARS

A little holiday kicking up some dirt in the outback. We did the wild ride through wild kingdom and we were just a little bit nervous about the huge horns on almost every thing there along with big teeth and claws. Luckily we had our trail guide Spike to protect us. He took our picture so you don't see his weathered outback face. It was a fun filled couple of days in Napa, Ca. Grape juice country. Besides the New Years celibration at the Peanuts museum (Charles Shultz), we stayed up until midnight to see the SLV fireworks. What a way to end a year.
