Frito Lay Company Picnic


We went to the 35th Anniversary Company Picnic at Frito Lay. They had food, games, prizes, pony rides, bungee jumping, and rockwall climbing. They tried to have hot air ballon rides too, but it was too windy. We all had a lot of fun. The kids got their fill of ice cream, cookies, and cotton candy. They did'nt even have time to try everything that they wanted to. There is always next year.

Picture Happy!!!


Jessica and I took our kids and her niece Sarah to a park to get some good photos of all of them. Sarah wanted some outside senior photo's and I wanted to get some good shots of all of my kids together. We also wanted to get a good three month pic of Grace. The weather was nice but we were wishing for more clouds. When it is too sunny people tend to squint their eyes and that doesn't look so good in pictures. But despite the sun we did get a lot of good shots. These are just some of the good ones we were able to get.
