Jessie's Girls

My friend Danette Simpson and I took our daughters, Schyler and Kaki, to see Rick Springfield in OKC on Friday July 10. (We had previously seen Rick in Albuquerque on June 26th and decided that our girls would love to see him as well). Our goal was to get our girls on stage with Rick. We dressed them in Jessie's girl shirts, matching hair, shoes, etc. We also made a sign for the girls that read "R Moms saw Your Naked Butt when they were 15 !!" (in the movie Hard to Hold for any of you non Rick Springfield fans out there).
As you can see from above pictures, it worked! He called the girls on stage and they both sang "Dont Talk to Strangers" with Rick! He then kissed them both and gave them a hug. (The moms got a high five from Rick as we left the stage with the girls!) What an awesome time ... those girls will never forget that !

Layne Swimming with the Dolphins

I got to swim with dolphins in the Cayman Islands. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done and they were so friendly. Their names are Neptune and Calypso and they're both males. I also got to stand on their noses while they swam and I was completely out of the water. It was awesome. If you ever get the chance to swim with dolphins you definitely should do it.

Layne Petting Stingray in the Caymans!

(Click on the photo and you can see Layne really close-up)

Layne just sent us this photo of her petting a Stingray. Deron, Mel's dad, is helping in full scuba gear. Layne says they are very friendly like little puppies.

Layne is having a very good time. I'm sure there will be more pictures added and more stories to be told when she gets home. Mark & Lori.

Church in the Park

Schyler and Kaki (and Kaki's little sister Kirbi) got to ride on Papa's ferris wheel at Trinity Lutheran's "church in the park" on Father's Day. The girls all ended up wet from water balloon games, Papa gave lots of rides on the "wheel" and Troy did his part by cooking the burgers and hotdogs. What a fun day!

Fred's Diet....!

Hi all - This is me 34 pounds less from 16 weeks ago - And I feel great.

The quilt on the chair arm was given to me by the Bloomington Jefferson Boys Swim & Dive Team a few years ago for volentering & helping setup, with several other parents, swim meets and time on lane 6. I've been doing this since 1991 & 1993 on the Girls team.

My diet is around 65 pecent vegetarian, the rest is low fat and higher portein, I want to get under 200 pounds - hope I can make it.

I'm going to the farm for the 4th, can't wait to get there, hope t0 be there on Saturday June 27th.
