The New Contraption

Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits.









Max and Dad have taken up a new hobby... target shooting with a .22 rifle. Not sure Mom is really hip on this idea; but it is good bonding time for Tom and Max.





Tom decided it was much more fun to shoot at "something", rather than just a target. So here is the latest "Dobson boys" contraption. Actually it worked very well. So well Max said "Dad, I think we should market this."

Max was so excited on Saturday because he passed his hunters safety class. He was one of the high scores in target shooting thanks to all the practice with his Dad.

Now Max can get his hunting license and go shoot ducks and geese with Bokah.

I'm not sure I'm ready for my little boy to be growing up so fast!!

Happy 14 years - Hakuna Matata

14 AMAZING years that we have been married. I am so lucky to have married my best friend. There are so many times that I reflect about our marriage and wonder "how did I get so lucky"? Thanks so much for being the greatest husband, father, and very best friend. I love you! Hakuna Matata.

Hakuna Matata - let me explain. While Tom and I were dating he was the manager of the Villa Theatre. During our short 5 1/2 week courtship The Lion King was released. It was the only movie playing at the Villa Theatre. It ran from the first week we started dating until after we got married in September. I think we saw this show at least 200 times. I would go to the Theatre to visit him while he was working, and ended up sitting through this movie over and over and over again. I think we both had the entire movie memorized. This was a very fun and exciting time in our life. Every time I hear any of the songs from The Lion King, it brings back great memories; especially Hakuna Matata.

Zoo-pendous Day

Another Birthday Celebration! Wow...this 5 yr. old b-day has lasted 3 days. We just keep celebrating. Megan wanted to go to the zoo. It was so much fun.









We were so lucky to have Grandpa join us.









Mya loved riding the carousel with Grandpa. She got off and gave him a great big kiss and told him thank you. It was so cute.





The elephant decided to eat his lunch while we were there. The girls thought it was amazing! Megan thought it would be really cool if we all had trunks.

This was the last day the white alligator was at the zoo. He was on loan from the zoo in Louisiana. It was pretty awesome to see him.

More Birthday Fun

Megan got to go to the Salon and have her hair and nails done as part of her birthday present. She loved it. She was especially excited to have her nails all done with sparkles and flowers. The more sparkles the better! We love you Meg!

Happy 5th Birthday Megan

Megan had her 1st (friend) Birthday Party! It was so much fun. We had a "Horton Hears A Who" party. We played throw the peanut through the elephants mouth, pin the dust speck on the who, and keep the balloon off the ground with our trunks. It was so much fun.

All her friends came to the party. Morgan, Riley, Mya, Zack, Lance, McKenna and Megan. They are waiting patiently for their pizza.

We couldn't find a "Horton Hears A Who" cake so we just had to get the princess cake.

She was able to celebrate her birthday at preschool and was chosen to be the special helper for the day. She was sooo... excited! She said all the kids loved the treats she brought for the kids.
