New McEverett

Congratulations to my cousin, Catherine, on the birth of her new daughter (nameless at the moment)! There are now SIX grandkids on the Mckee side of the family. Cool. I am sure that Catherine is happy to have another girl in the family to boss around all the boys.

Headed to Alaska

Mom and Dad are headed for Alaska. Have a great trip, and take lots of photos. I hope you have good, sunny weather.

A Different Breed

I have tried to understand the strange behaviors of women, but gave up long ago. The face painting custom is a strange one, but Kayla immediately understood, and wanted to paint her face as well. The genes are passed on female to female, I guess. Kayla has the female posing genes as well. She loves posing for the camera and has those "model like" poses at the age of 2. Where did she learn that?? Fashion TV?? I think they are embedded genes. Boys certainly don't have those genes.

Mom and Dad....have a great trip to Alaska!!

Vietnam Photo

I didn't have a picture for today, so thought I would share one that I took in Vietnam last April.

Dad has requested photos of our current house which I call "The Camp Site". I will take some this weekend and post them on the blog.

If you haven't seen the movie Cars, go see it. It is fantastic!! We saw it last night, and loved it.

New Format

I was getting tired of the black background. I think it was too dark, so I am trying the white background. Let me know what you think. It is easy to switch back. Do me a favor, please try to leave a comment....I want to see how that works. See ya.

My Little Model

Another lazy summer day. I did start work yesterday as the Director of JIS Academy. I had a few problems to solve, but overall it was an easy day. Not much to do today, so will work on lesson plans for next year's classes. I also need to work on my new photo website which I hope to finish before I leave for Thailand.

I made hotel reservations yesterday on-line for Thailand, and Tika is going to get us flights today. It is a gorgeous day out today...I wish I were out on the golf course.

Dinner at Amigos

We had dinner at Amigos last night. It is one of our favorite restaurants with good Mexican food. Usually, we don't bring Kayla with us. We did last night, and she was a hit with the staff and people sitting around us. She was pulling out all her tricks...winking at people, flirting with the guys, throwing kisses, and giving that sweet smile to everyone who passed. I still can't believe how good she was in the restaurant. She sat in her chair for over an hour not once complaining.

Crazy Uncle Tom

Tom Bartlett (Uncle Tom) followed us to Heros after dinner. He did a good job of entertaining Kayla in the grocery store along with everyone else.

Photos of our Property

I thought I would post a few photos of our property so you can visualize the house once it starts getting built. This is the entrance gate from the neighborhood road.

I meant to say "curb", not "curve".

There will be a covered entrance for the car to pull up to the privacy wall. You will not be able to see the house from the entrance. You will enter the wall near that tree, and then walk on a small walkway surrounded by fish ponds and stepping stones to a balinese gazebo. The entrance to the house will be about 10 meters or so from the wall.
