Seth......mighty Wildland Firefighter...a true Bonneville Hotshot!

I have been thinking alot about Seth lately. I guess no matter how old your children get, you still remember them from the minute they were born. Time just goes by sooo fast! Seth has always been a fun, loving, independent, mischievious son!!! I truly swear half of my gray hairs are because of me, and the other half from the female version of him (you know who you are :). Anyway, I thought I would post some pictures of him in his official gear. October-November can't come soon enough for me, for him to come home! (Though maybe not, some of his ideas for off-time may cause me to age 10 years overnight!!! Seth and his fire torch (I can't remember what it is called. Sorry Seth.) This picture just makes me feel the heat.
I love this picture. It shows so much how fire just eats the trees. Seth has hundreds of fire photos, but for some reason this is one of my favorites.
This picture is of his crew from last summer. I love how they all decided to play hair decorator with their hair. Male bonding....what more can I say?

And then there's Cassidy!

I went through and realized I didn't have anything on our Miss Cassidy. She, more than any of my other kids, likes to hang out by herself. She spent last weekend with her friend and classmate Jasmyn. I stole this picture from Jasmyn's moms blog. Thanks Charlie! But don't you think Cassidy is looking all grown up? It is just so hard to believe that she will be in Junior High(!) in just 2 short weeks! Wow.

Harvest Fest Sand Volleyball

The girls played in the Sand Volleyball contest at Wauneta's Harvest Fest again this year. They always seem to have alot of fun.This is Kaleia's team. She played with her good friend Brittany O'Neil and Tanner Bardsley and Jess Vapenik.
Kiane, Staci and Matt played on the same team this year, with Eugene. Here you can see Ki blocking a good shot from a team from Trenton.
Matt and Kiane (you can just see her legs) dove hard for this ball!

Chase.....Mr. Football

Chase spent 3 weeks playing in the McCook Football League. His team was the Eagles. He totally loved it.....more than I did, probably, sitting every evening in 100 degree heat during practices! But, they had 3 evenings of games and here are some pictures of him in action. He just looks so little in full football gear! Chase thought it was so awesome to have his sisters come and watch him in sports and root him on, since he has sat in on alot of theirs......though I can't say it is too hard on Chase......he is definately a sports addict!

That's him, # 29

Yay!! He made contact with someone!
Umm , Chase? Everyone else is getting ready for the play....
There you go!!!!!
