We are doing Debra Raybern's Nutrition 101 class with the Schnakenbergs. This was our second class and we made Greek Salad

The girls cleaning up

State Railroad #2

We encountered some difficulties on the - including a tree across the tracks. The Conductor whipped out the old 1900's chainsaw and we were on our way again soon after.....

Dad and Katie talking with the "outlaws" that were "robbing" our train

On our way back to Rusk - you will notice we are sitting in some padded seats this round!

Katie and FRED

Some pictures are just priceless....

My dad kept reminding me that there were signs saying to keep your head, hands, etc.. inside the train :)

Texas State Railroad #1

We rode the steam engine on the way to Palestine

The group waiting for the train

Finally on the train! For some reason, we sat right behind the engine in the hard wooden chairs on the way down

You can see how thrilled Jay is with the whistle

The Birthday Boy

Here is the birthday boy- wow, 5 years old!!

with all the brothers and sisters - what a busy 5 years it has been!

Believe it or not, Jack is actually enjoying this....

I thought this picture was just really..... serene....

so, today we had birthday breakfast, birthday dinner, homemade ice cream with an all raw birthday cake, then we looked through Card's scrapbook... I guess I need to get the others scrapbooks done someday......

Birthday Month...

September is birthday month around here - Daddy is September 1st, Card is September 2nd, and Jack is September 8th (I tried for the 3rd....)

First we celebrated Daddy's birthday. I did not have enough candles, so we put them on the cake like this - can anyone guess our riddle.... how old is daddy??

This morning Card wanted"birthday breakfast" - so here we are making pancakes...
