Emilys School Art Project
Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.3
Emily is in a new school this year - Lutheran School. She has always been very artistic and this proves this. For this school project she was to cut a picture in half and then draw, freehand, the right hand side of the picture. I may be biased, but I do think she did a wonderful job!! :)

My parents have a condo in Jupiter, Florida. Thankfully Hurricane Igor missed Jupiter completely. Love the rainbow and the Jupiter Lighthouse toward the left.

Where I sit, the dogs are all there. Tonight I was at the dining room table working when I looked down and saw all three dogs at my feet sleeping. Here is a picture of Abby sleeping. And yes....she needs to be groomed! :/ September 11, 2010

TK - ILTB - August 30, 2010
The kids had a half day of school on the 30th, so we met Scott for lunch at the Toby Keith - I Love This Bar restaurant in Auburn Hills. Momma got her Toby fix and the kids got to eat! The best of both worlds! :)
First Day of School - 2010
Here are pictures of the kids on their first day of school. Don't they look happy?!?!? I can tell you, Momma is happy that we are now back on a schedule!

The West Boys and Al Kaline - August 14, 2010
Scott took Jacob and Austin to see Al Kaline (former Detroit Tigers baseball player). Jacob was so excited to meet him. As you can see, my Austin wore his Cardinals shirt and hat - HA!
Springfield, Illinois

Emily standing in the exact spot where Lincoln gave his "A House Divided" speech in 1858. If you want to read more, go here: http://www.nationalcenter.org/HouseDivided.html
Emily standing next to Lincoln's seat, with his hat and cap on chair.
And no trip is complete to Illinois without visiting a Lincoln site. On this trip, we went to the old State Capitol building, where Abraham Lincoln served his last term as a State Legislator.

On August 7th, we had our annual Lair family reunion near Springfield, Illinois. We had a great turnout with plenty of delicious food! :)

Achievement Day: Daughter-Dad Ice Cream Social
Tonight, July 29th, the Ward had the Achievement Day's Daughter-Dad Ice Cream Social. This is a picture of Scott and Emily. Scott is growing a beard - I think trying to look more like Toby Keith! HA!
Appa Son/Daughter Days
Each month Scott will take the kids out for a special day or trip- he calls these "Appa-Son" or Appa-Daughter" days. The kids look forward to these little outings with their Dad. The last few have sent Jacob to Cedar Pointe; Austin to the Court-Yard hotel in Utica to swim and time at Dave and Busters to play games; and Emily hiking in Oakland Twp with a stop at Dairy Queen.
