I was checking out some family blogs tonight and decided I should start updating ours again. Not much has changed besides the kids getting older and bigger! Justin is now 13 and in 8th grade. He now stands 5 feet 9 1/2 inches!! He just made his schools basketball team and is in Drama. Brian is 9 and in 4th grade. Kate is 6 and started K5 this year. They both changed to a new school this year and we love it!Life is good and we are very blessed with great family and friends. This picture was taken July, 2010. Justin is actually taller than me, he's just standing on a sloped part of the yard.

Kate was a Princess, Brian was dark side Anakin, and Justin was Jedi Master Mace Windu. Nate made his Chili for the cookoff and won 3rd place. I think he has won placement every year we've had the Chili cookoff. It's really good! I won 2nd place in the dessert cookoff. Betty won 1st! I went to my sister Alison's house and she showed me how to make her famous baklava, YUM!! The kids had fun playing the trunk or treat games. All the boys Brian and Justin's age dressed up as jedi's so they had light saber fights all night. It's a fun night that we all look forward to. <p></p>The Leckie'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07236239741669827701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557157698788055562.post-56341665262854401272008-10-30T08:22:00.002-04:002008-10-30T08:30:35.134-04:00Stumphouse Tunnel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHxaeQHgapa_QqdF5ZFLCQRi4RH43aIzj8sBAJHnR85JR0xded15daYdetFaIXf_pcAyXNDlw5sdkRquFK0CQntr6PY-B8PqNJYbPEcezGNHYDLmsXCY8c9vNe-g8lYh0aBum9R3SdAw/s1600-h/IMG_8059.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262922341717833362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHxaeQHgapa_QqdF5ZFLCQRi4RH43aIzj8sBAJHnR85JR0xded15daYdetFaIXf_pcAyXNDlw5sdkRquFK0CQntr6PY-B8PqNJYbPEcezGNHYDLmsXCY8c9vNe-g8lYh0aBum9R3SdAw/s320/IMG_8059.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />The kids had 2 days off of school recently so we decided to go somewhere we had never been. The Stumphouse tunnel is about an hour and 15 minutes away from our house. It was pretty cool. It is an old pre-Civil War railroad tunnel that was never finished. There are some stories (legends) that have been written about it. It's rather creepy inside. You have to have flashlights. The kids liked it a lot.

She spent the day having her hair cut and going to lunch and the mall with Mom and Aunt Alison. She said "I love the hair cut store!" She really liked having her hair washed and doing girl things. Later we enjoyed opening gifts and eating her cupcake cake. She got a lot of nice things and we are putting all her $ she got in the mail from grandparents toward a bike!! We think she looks beautiful and we can't believe how big she is!</div></div>The Leckie'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07236239741669827701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557157698788055562.post-65743716524977970852008-09-30T19:36:00.000-04:002008-09-30T19:45:06.495-04:00Creeped Out!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUzXTnQCFO0kj1HQpHe8hFNTPZICjeztFhjfjCUz7J4ddW2DFlOCVVorwiIAA85u2qEuonl9eC8qSi9tBouiGuBk-XvD-YMcquY7ESNZKFOy6k8ZNi5x3TXB0drn1nwzeepxtWDvlu-y8/s1600-h/IMG_7961.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUzXTnQCFO0kj1HQpHe8hFNTPZICjeztFhjfjCUz7J4ddW2DFlOCVVorwiIAA85u2qEuonl9eC8qSi9tBouiGuBk-XvD-YMcquY7ESNZKFOy6k8ZNi5x3TXB0drn1nwzeepxtWDvlu-y8/s320/IMG_7961.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251963210829038194" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Nate found this "creature" in the garage the other night.

I really don't know what I am doing but I am sure I will figure it out. Nathan and I decided that we should join the blogging community. It really has been fun to keep up with other family members and friends through theirs. I hope to keep all of you entertained through our daily happenings of juggling school, work, kids, church, and life in general. It sure is fun!The Leckie'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07236239741669827701noreply@blogger.com1
