Melanie made a catpole to catch a cat. She used a wooden fish for bait, wrapping paper roll for the pole and tape to hold it all together. Pretty clever.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING-2011
Oops! I forgot to post this! Ha, ha, ha!!! It's too cute to not post..so better late than never.
The Ornament Tradition
Kyle received a Basketball. Melanei received a daisy flowere with a ladybug. Duane got a picture of us, and I gave all of us a McGurk Family Santa ornament. Melanie also received a MATER ornament. I love this tradition.
Getting Ready for Christmas!
Setting-up the Christmas tree is so fun. The kids really get involved & so do our pets. Smokey is the biggest dork! My favorite thing is puting on the ornaments. I love to remember where each one came from-they all have a special story. We have definitly added to our ornmament collection over the years. It seems every day we were making a new one.

Kyle's 2nd. Basketball Game-Prosper
Johnson versus Prosper. Prosper won, but TIGERS are showing massive improvements!
GO TIGERS!
GO TIGERS!
Kyle's On the Basketball Team!
Kyle's made the Scott Johnson Basketball team! WOO HOO! We are very proud of him! He is really learning the end's and out's of the game and having so much fun! The best part for me is....being able to watch him play! His games are either on Monday or Tuesday evenings! IT'S AWESOME! This is video of Kyle's first game against Dowell Middle School. Johnson lost-but that's OK!
GO TIGERS!
GO TIGERS!

Doodle Pro is THE BEST!
However invented this is a GENIUS! This is such a clever drawing board. We got this one at a garage sale for $1. However it is missing the shapes pieces that go along with it. We still like it though. But we are really looking forward to SANTA bringing a new one!! :) (thank you secret santa)
This is a pic of Melanie opening up a box with Mater in it. The other drawing is our home and smoke coming from the chimmney.
She's a pretty good drawer.

Remember Nintendo?
I talked Duane into buying a NINTENDO!!! What a classic! I remember playing this when I was a kid with Aaron. We played Super Mario Bros. all the time. Our games include Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Ms. Pac Man, and Duck Hunt. We have had a little fun playing these games & introducing them to Kyle & Melanie. Kyle finds them hilarious & generic compared to the new video games of his era. But he admits Ms. Pac Man does take some skill!
A Boy & His Dog
Having a dog is such a special thing for a kid. We are very lucky to have Brownie. She is super sweet, funny, protective, and a skilled hunter. She's suprisingly better at catching mice than our cat! Did I mention she's plump? She's a cuddly fatty patty! Where would we be without her? We love you Brownie!
