A picture of the kids at the park.













The big kid that will never grow up. I think that is what makes her so young.














Family photo at Kyle's Kindergarten graduation















The boys walking together at the park.













Justin had an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin. He kept telling me that his polka dots were going away.

Scrapbook Pages


Here is a page of my little girl. Her brothers thought she would look cool in their shades.

My climber

This girl is a climber. Everytime I turn around she has climbed into or is standing on something. I just wanted everybody to know that when I update my blog, I post several different posts. All the posts are new up until 10/15/07. I am sorry there are so many pics of the little one, but she is easier to catch up to than the boys. It is like pulling teeth to get the boys to sit still. Love to you all.

Halloween



Here are my four kids out trick or treating. Kyle has been Superman for 4 out of 6 years. Justin decided he wanted to be a firefighter. Paige is wearing the costume that Grandma June made for Kyle for his first Halloween. All three kids have worn this costume.

Playing in the yard



Here are a few photos I took of the kids in the front yard.

Carving Pumpkins



We wanted to wait for Daddy to carve pumpkins. We don't do the fanciest designs, but the kids have a blast doing it. I remember Kyle and Justin's first carving experience and how they wouldn't put their hands in the pumpkins. Paige stuck her hand it - no problem.

Pumpkin Patch - 10/28/07


We went to McMinnville to visit my parents for the weekend. Mom wanted to take the kids to the pumpkin patch near her house. The kids didn't want to go home when we were done. Grandma Cherry even got lost in the corn maze.



Park - 10/21/07


My goal this day was to get some pictures of the kids in the leaves, but the kids had another idea. You can tell by Justin's attitude that we didn't get very many



Safety Fair - 10/20/07




We took the kids to the safety fair at the mall. The boys needed to get their picture taken in the police car to show Aunt Juli.

Seahawks Girl

Daddy had surgery on Friday and was on the couch all weekend. Paige didn't like that daddy wasn't holding her. Daddy put her beside him and she worked the remote. I think Paige will be the one kid in the family to watch sports with daddy (at least he hopes one of them will).

Caught in the Act - 10/14/07

I thought this little girl was in the bedroom with the boys. I went to check on her and this is what I found. I am always getting in trouble for telling a story without the pics (Kyle writing all over house with permanent marker). Well here you go. I have to remind the boys to shut the bathroom door.


My Baby - 10/8/07

I just love these pics of our little girl. I noticed when I downloaded my pics that I didn't have very many of the boys. They don't like their pics taken. Mommy needs to make sure that she gets the good shots of all of them.

Saturday

I got to go clothes shopping today. Tom gave me about $50 dollars to go by some shirts. I came home with about 9 shirts, 1 sweatshirt and a pair of pants for my $50. I hit all the clearance and Columbus Day sales. I feel like I have hit the lottery. I haven't had much to wear since little girl was born.

Paige is standing up in the middle of the floor from a sitting position. She walks from one end of the house to the other.

Kyle is doing great in school. He started reading. I was really worried about the reading issue. He came home fron school reading a couple of his first readers to me. I think it has finally clicked for him. His teacher is the kind of teacher that doesn't punish the kids for something - she finds something that works for that particular child. I am going to be really bummed when we have to find a new teacher.

Justin is hanging out at home with me. He wants to do homework just like Kyle. He is learning his ABC's and can almost count to 20.

Tom is doing great at work. It is really great to see him enjoy every part of his job. You can tell just looking at him that he loves what he does. His office is telling us that the new office will be opened by the first of the year. We will see if this happens.

The McConkey Family


Here is our family photo we took the day of Tom's grandma's funeral. Grandma Alma was 92 years old. We all know that she lived a long and great life. Grandma - we miss and love you.
We thought it would be a great idea to get a family photo because we were all together at the same time. It is a miracle that every kid was looking at the camera. The last family photo we took was when Kennedy, Kyle and Ashley were just little. We have all had more kids since then. I am very lucky to have married into such a loving family.

Peek-a-boo

I was walking around the house looking for Paige. As you can see, she was hiding under Justin's paint easel. You never know where you will find her.
