Dr Seuss Day

In honor of Dr.Seusses Birthday, Alden's school encouraged the students to dress up in their favorite Dr.Seuss character, today! Can You see a Resemblance?!?!?!?!?! Alden's Cat-in-the-hat decided to try a fashionable "Green" instead of the same ol' boring red! (a girl's got to mix it up a little, don't you think?)

Godspeed, Our Friend!

Yesterday we said goodbye to our closest friend here at Ellsworth. Allen embarked on his 7 month Tour of Duty deployment to the middle east. With us moving in the next few months we wont be here when he returns--this made the goodbye all the harder! Thank you Allen for all the memories. Your family has definitely made this assignment memorable. We'll never forget your willingness to try something new (especially when it came to trying Trace's deer entrees) You were always a good sport! I will never forget:
- Our first camping excursion to Hot Springs,
- Sylvan Lake,
- Thanksgiving,
- Christmas,
- Deer mountain,
-the numerous game nights, and of course your Margaritas and "odd" sense of humor!

You will be missed!! Stay Safe! You're in our prayers!!

Sam and Alden....sitting in a tree.....

These two CRACK me up! They are either the Best-of-Friends or Mortal enemy's! One minute they are professing their undying love for one another,the next minute they are fighting like cats and dogs! I am not sure what was going on in this picture but I LOVE Sam's facial expression! Yes....we will be displaying this picture at their wedding,someday!! HA!!

Litte B-Man!

Okay...that is so MEAN! I wasn't aware that this was going on!!!

The FAM!
