Caeson's Fifth Birthday

On August 5th, was Caeson's "golden" birthday. He wasn't sure what a golden birthday was. We had to tell him that a "golden" birthday is; when you turn the age that is the same date that your birthday is on. Like he was Five on the Fifth of August. Anyway, Caeson is not very big on desserts. He did not want a cake for his birthday. He wanted chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips. Caeson is affectionate. He is also very shy and is not very comfortable around a lot of people. Caeson loves to play sports. He will play catched with a baseball or kick a soccer ball or dribble a basketball, with anyone that will play with him. Caeson will also sit down at the piano and play it. The only song he knows is "Hot Cross Buns". He also likes to play the trumpet. Caeson started Transitional Kindergarten this year. He seems to really like school. He goes to school everyday for four hours. He even gets to ride a bus.

Oryx Hunt

This last weekend, August 23, Rich went Oryx hunting on the White Sands Missle Range in New Mexico. After a day and a half of hunting Rich shot an oryx. The oryx are an interesting looking animal. They have been imported to New Mexico from Africa. Rich said this was the hardest hunt he has ever been on. Rich shot the second largest oryx out of all the ones that were shot during this hunt. The largest oryx that was shot was a world record. Here is a picture of the Oryx head that he shot.

Our First Post

This is my first post to our blog. I am just checking it out. I will have more to come. Setting this blog up was on my "to do" list this summer. It is the last thing on my list that I needed to get done. It is good thing I got it done now, because school starts next week. I wanted to set this blog up mostly for a journal. This picture is of my family. I am Verlynne. Rich is my husband. We have Five boys (a handful of them). Ryan is 14. Tevin is 11. Parker is 7. Caeson is 5. and Maddux is 3. We live in Central, Arizona. We moved here about five years ago.

Maddux's Birthday

Maddux's Birthday was July 21, 2008. We were in Greer, Arizona that day. The birthday party was at Aunt Leta and Uncle Bryce's cabin. Maddux wanted a chocolate cake with white frosting. He also wanted red sprinkles. Maddux's Mom and Dad and brothers came to the party. Also, Grandma Perry, Aunt Leta, Uncle Bryce, Aunt Leola, & Jeannie (Aunt Leta's sister). When we sang happy birthday to Maddux, he slowly slid under the table. He got really embarrassed. It surprised us because he is so out-going. Maddux wanted a backpack for his birthday. He got one that had Diego on it. He also got a book, a ball, a fishing pole, and a few other things. Maddux is very independent. He does everything by himself. He doesn't ask for help very often. He likes to talk and will talk to anyone. He has the cutes smile. Which we say is good, because it gets him out of trouble a lot.
