Cotton, anyone?

Here are some pictures of Kutter in Todd's cotton before he stripped it. Kutter is just like my other two boys-he loves to be in the cotton field. And he loves to play with it! When it was time to leave, we had to take some cotton with us. Kutter was not leaving that field without it!

Happy Halloween!

Kutter was Dumbo this Halloween! He looked soooo cute, although he was not impressed!
Ky thought it was so mean of me to dress him up like Dumbo! He did not even want his friends to see him. He thought he should have been a tiger or something scary. Aggggggg. Teenagers!

Kutter and Gran

We went to Felicia's to trick or treat and got lots of pictures!
Presley, Kutter and Jax




Hudson, Addi and Kutter!
Addi was Sandi and Hudson was Danny from "Grease."
Addi and Hudson both wore this dumbo costume when they were one.
We're keepin' it in the family. Who's next! Your turn Brooke!

Powder Puff Football!


National Jr. Honor Society sponsored a powder puff football game. Ky and a bunch of the football guys were the cheerleaders. Most of the girls that played were athletic girls and boy was it rough! I think Ky and the guys need to recruit these girls! Ky looks great in a cheerleading suit!

Homecoming 2007


Here are some pictures of Homecoming! At the Peprally, it was Parent's day. Todd and I got to walk out with Ky. Again, it is very sad that he is that old! I love all of the pictures of the kids holding Kutter. He loves all of the attention!

Kutter's 1st Birthday!


Finally! I think I finally figured out how to post a slideshow! I hope this works because I can not get his birthday pictures to come up any other way!
We had lots of fun at the party. We had it at Texstar Fitness and there was plenty to do for all ages. Thanks to everyone who came and brought presents! I never dreamed I would be giving another 1st Birthday party!

Slaton Tiger Football 2007

Here are pictures of Ky at his second football game. I truly can't believe that he is in 8th grade! I am really having a hard time accepting it! I can actually talk to him as an adult. It so weird! Anyway, here he is walking out for the toss. He is #11.


He is quarterback. Great hand off!



His friend Tanner got hit really hard. Ky's just making sure he is okay!

Pickin' Cantaloupes

Sorry it has been so long! I know everyone is tired of the same Houchin blog page! Kutter has started walking EVERWHERE so my time is limited! I will try to be better in the future!
Todd's mom and dad went out of town and we got to pick the cantaloupes! We had so much fun! Well.....Kutter and I did. The big boys picked 20 cantaloupes and hauled them all to the car!
Kutter loves to play in the field. He also loved it when his little feet sunk into the rows of dirt. He tried so hard to pick up the cantaloupe, but they were just too heavy! O well...this made great pictures!





A true Houchin boy wears no clothes!

Vacation 2007

It seems that the older our kids get, we only take a vacation that revolves around their activities! Koal's Lubbock Rockets basketball team made it to the BCI Nationals in Lewisville. We decided we would make a long vacation of it. We left Sunday for the lake (pictures below) and ended up at the tournament on Thursday.
Koal's team is made up of boys from all over the area. Lubbock, Andrews, Plainview, Petersburg, Idalou and of course Slaton. They did much better than we thought they would do considering the competition. There were teams from Mississippi, Arkansas, Oregon, Tennessee etc... It was tough for Koal considering his height. There was a 12 year old that was 6"2'! They ended up playing for consolation, but lost. We are so proud of ya Koal!

Each team could pick their best two three-point shooters to enter the three-point contest. Koal was picked and boy was he nervous! The contest was from ages 11-15 years old. To our knowledge, there were only three 11 year olds and Koal was one of them. And to top it off, he had to go first out of everyone. He made three in 30 seconds. The winner was 14 years old and made 10 in 30 seconds. Koal was so disappointed that he did not do better, but we told him he will be ready and not so nervous next year!



Notice the "sleeve" like Alan Iverson (Denver Nuggets) and A.J. Abrams (University of Texas) that Koal is wearing!


Here is some of the competition!


And of course, I had to recruit some cheerleaders! We worked on chants the first day, and by the last day the parents had made the girls cheer uniforms! They did a great job!



Lake Buchanan

We went to the lake the first part of our vacation. Ky and Koal caught tons of fish!



I can't believe he is holding those!



Hayden spent most of his time at the dock trying to catch perch. He did spend some time on the boat and caught this white bass!




Kutter took his very first boat ride! He did not like the life jacket at all!



Going!



Going!



Gone! Too much excitement for one day!

July Cheer Camp

Aren't they cute! July's Cheer Camp was lots of fun! Lots of girls and lots of drama! It wouldn't be cheer camp if there wasn't drama! But I don't mind. Since the Houchin house is full of boys, these girls give me a taste of what it's like to deal w/ drama on a daily basis!
This group was full of energy! Go Tigers!

Happy 4th

Kutter had lots of fun this 4th of July. We had a very busy day and he did really well but was very tired! I know I posted tons of pictures and they go on and on, but there were so many cute babies that I could not resist!
This was at the Davies' house. We were trying to get all of the babies in the picture. Everyone did great but Kutter was not going for the sitting still thing!

Finally, sitting still. Where's Brynlee?


Emily came to the rescue and held Brynlee, but by that time Kutter was on the move again so Ky had to jump in to hold him!




Ky is so good with babies now and Presley kept looking at him. This is such a sweet picture!





Presley and Kutter sharing!





This was during the Little Mr. Firecracker contest. Look at that smile! (He should have won!)








Brynlee Elizabeth









Jax










Presley











Olivia













Thatcher














Kutter Kash















Kutter and Kamryn (Melissa's daughter!)
I think she thinks he's crazy!

































This was at the Slaton park. Kutter's Aunt Davia fed him lunch so we had to take his shirt off. I think Presley is looking at Kutter's belly hanging over his pants!


















Kutter and Taylor were all smiles!



















Taylor is going to be a tough girl! She was so fascinated with Kutter's bandanna that she pushed him over! Thank goodness he did not cry. We can't have a girl beating up on him already!




















I think it is nap time!
