News from Mississippi

Aunt Liz sent us an email a few days ago (I just checked it today). I'm just going to copy and paste part of it here, hope that's okay. It's nice to hear from you guys back there. Sounds like Megan is having quite the senior year.

I am so proud of my Megan. Not only has she been nominated for Homecoming Court but she is a "Captain" of the Picayune High Cheerleading team, a Varsity soccer player and has just handed me all "A's" report card.

She has done these accomplishments on her own and I couldn't be anymore happier for her.

Here's a link to the photo.

Happy Halloween

Goooooaaaaalllllllll!!!!!!!!

We are having a lot of fun watching Connor "play" soccer this fall. Yes, he's easily distracted, but he looks really cute in his uniform. The best part is when all the parents and grandparents line up and make a tunnel at the end of the game for all the kids to run through, it's pretty awesome!

RELAY FOR LIFE

Last Saturday, Tulare had their Relay For Life. My dad walked with the survivors group and then some of us joined in for the next lap. Connor also jogged with my dad for another lap.
Here's just a few pictures from that event. It was really moving to see all the survivors walking together, I am very glad that I was able to go and check it out for myself.

Random Question of the Month

So here's a new feature I decided to add to the blog that wouldn't involve any work. Every month we'll post a random question on a random date for everyone to answer. Simple enough right? Some may be down right stupid questions and some might may be rather insightful questions. This month we start out with a middle road question.

If you had to go by a new name what would it be?

Annalyn

Here are the first pictures of Annalyn here on the blog.
Brian is a proud papa, and we can start calling Ron "Grandpa".

Go 'Dogs!

So we went down to Pasadena on Saturday to see the Bulldogs show
that they are the best team in California

UCLA fans get to tailgate on the golf course
before the game they were popping bottles of champagne
Not so much after the game.

No, this isn't Jim on Halloween. This is Rick Neuheisel
trying to leave without being recognized after the game.

J-E-T-S! Brett! Brett! Brett!

Brett Favre was there. Ladanion Tomlinson was there. Emmitt Smith and Steve Young were there. But the real VIP's in attendence were the Favereaux's, evidenced by those huge freaking Margaritas!

At the BBQ

I was going to doctor this photo of Alli, but I had trouble when I went to save it. So instead I figured to put a few pictures together from the Mike's party. I think there is still food leftover if anyone's hungry.

Cravens at the Beach

Just in case Nate thinks he's the only one that ever goes anywhere!!!!! All the kids had a good time, Connor liked the telescopes, Jackie liked the hole in the pier, and Sofia liked the fish and chips!

He Did It!!!!

Mike graduated last night, and we were all very proud to be there. We hope to see everybody at his party tomorrow (Sunday) at 3. Connie's house.

Venice Beach Blast

The beach was packed with............To much Eye Candy for Laura!
Rachel was sporting the hottest beach accessory of the summer Beach Snakes!
Finally Nate and Rachel Pose for the Papparazzi.

Mike's Graduation & BBQ (update)

Mike is graduating from Culinary School on September 12th in Fresno. Then, on Sunday the 14th we will be having a Barbeque in Woodville. I think Mike is going to have to do all the cooking, so you'll want to be there. BBQ starts at 3:00, and I'm sure you'll want to bring your bathing suit and an appetite.
See you then,

Online Photo Album

Looks like this little baby is a lightweight.

So here's something I just found out. You can view all the pictures that have ever been uploaded to the blog on one website. Just click Here.
You will see several duplicates unfortunately, but it's pretty neat to be able to look back all in one place. Apparently this feature has been available for the past year, but I just found out today. There are some missing pictures (IDKY) but there are also some pics that never made it to the blog publicly.
There is also an option to upload pictures directly into the album. I'm thinking this might come in handy for things like a fishing gallery. Nate had suggested a single post to me before and I think this could work for that idea. Well, for now enjoy the photos and look for some new ones over there that don't find their way here.

A Poem For Dads

Here's a cool poem written by Ogden Nash

I found it when I was looking for a book called Custard the Dragon. Maybe someone can make a scrapbooking page out of it.

Sorry, I just fixed the link.
