Since we were going to be in Reno on his actual birthday after we got home from Avery's party we gave Kaden his gift. A new bike! Kaden was convinced he was going to go outside and do tricks on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the kids were SO excited to see him give it a try and we all knew he would have NO problem getting it going. It was such a fun day! He is SUCH an adored little boy and although there are some disadvantages to being the baby there is no comparison on who has the most fans! This little guy was the star of the show and all 4 big siblings were more than excited for him, willing to help him and totally cheering him on. It was one of those times that truly melts a moms heart! I happened to be in the video mood that day so I have lots of footage but not a lot of still shots. Here is a glimpse into his BIG day!</div>

Soon after he learned and took a few falls he was looking for a scooter to go on Kenyon's ramp. The whole doing tricks thing was a bit harder than he expected. Not sure how he ended up with the Dora scooter in this shot. He has actually been riding a razor scooter since before he was 2. I'll never forget the time we were at a volleyball tournament and Kaden was riding his scooter around the school campus between games - he had a bit of a crowd and this dad comes up and asks my permission to film him. He said it was the coolest thing he had ever seen. We often forget how weird our boys are until things like that happen and we realize they are oddly coordinated.</div>

I wish I had photos of Adison with Kaden on here. Of all the siblings she is the most motherly to him by far. The videos really captured her constantly trying to help Kaden get going or fix his helmet or whatever he needed. She was so cute with him!<br />

I wasn't up for hosting a party but thought she could really use a special day with some friends so she invited several friends to join us at Steve Wallen Swim School where the kids had been taking lessons. The kids all had a blast swimming for a bit then a short time of cake, ice cream and gifts. </div>

Avery really is so good to her "birthday buddy," a term they regularly use around here, and had all her friends sing to both of them.

The kids woke up to a fun table with pillow pets for the little 4 and a new cross necklace for Adia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I had yet to show them what I got them to wear to church I figured I would hang the new clothes to their chairs to add to the festivities. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of them were very happy with the new treats!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a delicious breakfast together and read the Easter story before Adia got picked up to help with the Easter service at the Convalescent Home. She has been volunteering there for the morning services before coming to church with the family! So wonderful to see her doing something like that on her own!</div>

We had such a great time! My sister and her family joined us for the first few days and then we finished the week off on our own. We enjoyed lots of good food, hikes, walks along the beach, the hot tub, easter eggs, sledding, snow boarding, parks, dates, polar bear club contests, LOTS of dance parties, LOTS of games and so much more. The weather was perfect... the first half of the week was snowing and we sled from our back porch practically to the water and the last half was warm (in Tahoe terms) and sunny so the kids hung out in swimsuits on the beach. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">I don't have the time or energy to give more info but I'll let a bunch of photos fill you in.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The back story is that we had decided to put Adia in school over the Christmas break and found out it started January 2nd... I wasn't ready to let her go that soon and really wanted to spend her birthday with her so I told the school she would be starting a week later. The Vice Principal asked me why and when I told him he said "what a great idea."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adia didn't know but her dad and I had planned a special day for just the 3 of us. While she was at breakfast I dropped all her siblings off with Grandma & Grandpa. When she got home and I told her it would be just us for the day she sounded like a tired mom "oh, maybe we should just stay home, relax and enjoy the quiet." Made me laugh. She was so thankful for that gift and G'pa Paul and G'ma Jenny should know it was probably one of the biggest treats of the day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But instead we opted to go get our nails done... she got gel nails and they looked great! She also got her eyebrows waxed for the first time and loved it! She wasn't thrilled that they were red for hours after and wished I would have warned her. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adia had been asking her dad for awhile if he would take her to Sushi on her big day but he kept acting like he would have to see how his day went. Truth is he has been way busier at the office than we are used to so it was believable that he might not be able to. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, he wouldn't miss such a big occasion though and planned on meeting us for sushi then taking the rest of the day off to hang out with us. After our lunch we walked across the street to see the new Sherlock Holmes... I was bored to death. The two of them loved it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the movie we had one more surprise up our sleeves for her... my parents were waiting at the mall to take her shopping for new school clothes and get her a nice steak/lobster dinner (she's been spoiled in the food department from Papa for way too long). But getting her to the mall was harder than we planned. She wanted to stop at Target to spend some money she had... she was shopping and shopping and shopping and kept talking and talking and talking. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we got her to the mall where my parents were hidden inside and when she found her Papa she was over joyed! A few minutes later she saw Grandma and was so happy! Here is a shot of her and the boys who can't get enough of her! I think she felt very loved! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then, 2 days later, my baby girl went to school (a public school I might add). I had prayed so much about the decision I knew it was what God had for her. I had been so strong and at peace about it...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then I saw her walk out the door and LOST it! I couldn't believe she was doing this. I couldn't believe how old she is, how amazing she is, what a great head she has on her shoulders, what a confident little thing she is, how beautiful she is and so much more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her dad called after dropping her off and said she looked so nervous... that was the longest day of my life. I couldn't wait to pick her up and hear how it went. My stomach hurt all day and the tears were ever flowing. But when I saw her walk to the car at 2:04 I could see it in her eyes - she liked it. She got in the car and with a huge smile said "I LOVE it". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I LOVE her - my teenage daughter who has defied the odds and turned out AMAZING! She is a gem of a lady and I am so proud to be her mom. This past month of having her in school we have learned so much - we learned mom is too hard on her, she is even smarter than we thought, she has no problem standing up for her beliefs, she is well liked, she is tall for a 7th grader and more. It's been a journey for sure and she continues to make us proud for so many reasons. I can't wait to see what else God has in store for this crazy girl of ours who seems to think she is already all grown up. </span><br />

After hearing about how this ministry provides Safe Homes for children while mom or dad deal with crisis situations our hearts were pulled and we were ready to go out of our comfort zone. <div><br /></div><div>After the initial work of getting the ministry going at our church and doing the paper work, in late November we got the e-mail saying a little 1 year old girl would need to be cared for for a 6 month period of time - without even talking to Kyle I said YES! In fact I texted my friend who heads the ministry "we want her" immediately. Thankfully I was able to get to know mom a bit and spend some time with her and baby Maddie before the move in date which was December 9th. It was a VERY hard transition for her but I am happy to report that just under 2 months later Maddie is happy and doing so well! An added bonus is that mom is going to be able to be reunited with her little girl early and they will be back together February 21st!</div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR-6hyphenhyphenp8LtHrfMVxpFLiQWoBN19D3sdLj4ktdlxfkn947g2yfCMvAbOTLyeG2h3y6jx0RgnCroCPNEYjCMERGKtMPuLYzQDzP3TIDF73BUjwkTqsH2tQlchlLDEhya9ITHnvAHfB8W_M86/s320/Maddie.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703549533299310002" />Here she is the day after she took 20 steps... she waited so long to finally walk she was a pro on day 2. When she just crawled around all the time it wasn't as obvious how long the pants were. But she's a chunk of baby and needs size 2 to fit those thighs. Now we have to wear shoes with those ones or wear the tighter legging type of pant so she doesn't get her feet caught in them.<div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7vQ808NiA2HLkHsBj05R1eY2G5L7F2WSHmrITri3q2Ykk6Lu7X-WlYsEA2u5O5mHBJhNiDWjvU-gBfdyldH8q5rNBQimd47dja8kR_s8KIDkaWGhRHdixhxBnSg-5FNBbe70YoqOPIwz/s1600/Maddie+walks.JPG"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7vQ808NiA2HLkHsBj05R1eY2G5L7F2WSHmrITri3q2Ykk6Lu7X-WlYsEA2u5O5mHBJhNiDWjvU-gBfdyldH8q5rNBQimd47dja8kR_s8KIDkaWGhRHdixhxBnSg-5FNBbe70YoqOPIwz/s320/Maddie+walks.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703549540809634994" /></a>This experience has been difficult for a couple reasons and wonderful for many! My kids are doing SO WELL with her and watching their hearts make room for her and feel compassion for Maddie has been so beautiful. It's also been fun to start building relationships with other members of her family and we are excited to see where God takes us with this.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div>Middleton Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01340453840917367045noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886516458193276625.post-52358531346883607482012-01-30T13:46:00.000-08:002012-01-30T13:51:59.618-08:00OCTOBER & NOVEMBERDue to being SUPER disappointed with the quality of EVERY single picture I had taken with my Nikon Coolpix I fell out of love with taking pictures. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures to show for October 2011 & November 2011. But that doesn't mean we weren't busy and having fun (and having bad days) as usual. <div><br /></div><div>So I will post my HAPS (Middleton family REQUIRED tri-monthly update)</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222">October –</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:#222222"> This is the month that began in Vegas where we were forced to be by State Farm. Since setting up child care for something like that isn’t easy to come by we took advantage of it and extended our trip – just me and Kyle! Well, just us until P&J and B&R showed up. We had a great time! I somehow decided while on vacation that I could handle a few field trips and signed up for everyone that came my way – organic farms, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, plays and more. I quickly realized we don’t have room for that and we haven’t been on one since. Soccer season was still in full swing at this point and Kyle and I were very ready for that to end… 3 kids practicing at 3 different fields + Adia doing agility training and speed training every week can take a toll on a family. It was also during October that we accepted our first full time placement with for a little one year old named Maddie. I was able to meet with the mom and start spending time with them in order to better prepare Maddie for her December move in. We also began working with a 4&5 year old who needed to be watched and Tuesdays and began spending time with them as well as they adjusted to some BIG life changes at home. Thinking back on October I am a bit exhausted.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222"><o:p> </o:p></span></b><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222">November –</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "> As soccer came to an end Avery convinced us she is truly in love with the sport and ready to take it to the next level – we being weak parents couldn’t say no and signed her up for more soccer and by more I mean she lived and breathed it from mid –Nov. – Dec. training to hopefully make it on a more competitive team in January. Kenyon started wrestling and we really think it might be the PERFECT sport for him! He loves it, it works him out hard and brings him home very tired! Love. Oh and about the field trips I backed out of all future ones except the HUGE one I was co-hosting with your parents at their house. We had a million or so people at the River House for a great lesson on the gold rush then walked to Marshall Gold Discovery Park for a tour led by Paul and some fun activities. The weather was perfect and it was a GREAT day for all! THANK YOU Paul and Jenny! Thanksgiving was also at their house and was nice and small which left a lot of space to catch up with those that were there… we really enjoyed it!</span></p></div>Middleton Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01340453840917367045noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886516458193276625.post-57869746127922950362012-01-25T20:25:00.000-08:002012-02-09T10:27:17.296-08:00Happy 5th Birthday Adison 9.11.11Last year we did a big party for Adison so she is on a break from those for a couple years. On the non party years you still get a special date with mom and dad and then a little fun with siblings at home. She even got a one on one movie date with dad before dinner. She was just as excited as the year before when we had a big princess party.

I think I might try and catch up on some of the bigger highlights I have forgotten. Probably the BIGGEST is the much anticipated Grand Canyon Trip - and by much anticipated I mean Kyle has been on a waiting list for about 16 years for the family to get to do this again. And before I show how wonderful the trip was you all need to know the story behind me NOT being there. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About 11 years ago while we were engaged Kyle took me to dinner and told me he needed me to promise him something. He wouldn't tell me what, he just said there is something very important he wants to do with me and he needs me to promise I will do it before he tells me what it is. After much persuasion I gave in and promised. He then told me his family is on a waiting list to go on the Grand Canyon again (Kyle did this with his family when he was young) and he so badly wants to have that experience with me. After 10 years of marriage and 4 more kids when the time came for the trip he never mentioned me going. One day I said "Maybe I should go too just to see Adia have this experience"... I was quickly told "No. You wouldn't like it and not only would you ruin it for me you would probably ruin it for everyone." So I was uninvited and Adia took my place - WHATEVER!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But I was still SO HAPPY for them to have this opportunity and here are some pictures of the fun they had. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Getting read to go... hair station.

I'm a homeschooling mom and I like it! I am so grateful that God chose to put our family on this path.

The kids LOVED having them. While Aunt Christie worked hard for the money, Uncle Ty worked hard keeping my kids happy and even helping me school them. It was awesome! Plus Kyle and I even got a double date with them, and I got a few documentaries in with them. I usually have to watch them alone and it was fun having real adult people in my house to learn with.

<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Kyle had asked me to put the camera away for Father's Day but this was one of the few shots I got and I thought it captured some of the joy we all felt celebrating the fact that we have such an amazing dad in this house! The kids all put so much effort into their cards for him and it's getting to the point that no matter how good my ideas are, they seem to have the "perfect" plans already in store for him. </div>

<br /><div>Every Sunday at our church, between services, they put out a table of food and everyone stands around, eating, snacking and chatting. For Father's Day I decided to make a "Donuts for Dad" table and it was a hit! I thought it would be a fun tradition to start and I think the kids agreed. I was busy keeping it stocked so Avery took this picture for me.</div><div>

<br /></div><div>Well, that was it. But the simplicity of this post and these pictures do NOT reflect in anyway the feeling we all feel toward Kyle. He truly is an amazing father and I feel beyond blessed to be his partner in raising up our children to know, love and make known our Father in heaven. It's a big and overwhelming job at times but it takes a huge weight off my shoulders to know Kyle and I are in this together. :)</div>Middleton Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01340453840917367045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886516458193276625.post-52610215679324490652011-07-25T18:14:00.000-07:002011-09-01T14:28:44.001-07:00Carter FunWe got lucky to have Uncle Ty and Aunt Christie join us for a week. The kids LOVED having them. While Aunt Christie worked hard for the money, Uncle Ty worked hard keeping my kids happy and even helping me school them. It was awesome! Plus Kyle and I even got a double date with them and I got a few documentaries in with them. I usually have to watch them alone and it was fun having real adult people in my house to learn with. I think they are hooked and are going to want to come watch more soon (just kidding, I actually think they might think my movie choices are a bit odd).<div>

<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This all started a couple Mother's Days ago. I had wanted to go to Tahoe to enjoy the day since it was too hot in EDH. I said I'd love to go for a walk with the kids. I was envisioning a cement path (like sidewalk) that goes through the beautiful forested areas with views of the lake. I have since learned those don't exist. Anyway, on the way there we saw signs for Horsetail Falls and Kyle says we should do that hike with the kids. He had heard it was beautiful and leads to a waterfall and it was about a half hour closer than going all the way into Tahoe. I was convinced and we pulled over to start my beautiful Mother's Day walk with the kids. Not long after we started on the very natural trail (meaning dirt, bugs and sticks), just a way past the stinking bathrooms, we arrived at a beautiful rock area with a gorgeous water feature (not sure what nature people would call it). After a good photo opportunity and a near death experience with a small animal on my flip-flop covered foot (and a bit of screaming and a bit of Kyle embarrassed of me) I was done and ready to go home. The kids and Kyle were annoyed because I guess we hadn't really started the trail yet. I insisted it was Mother's Day and I should decide. So with tearful kids and a frustrated husband we drove home silently.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">That brings us to the day I conquered the hike. I decided it was a beautiful day, the weather was gorgeous and slightly cool (which I love). I told Kyle I'd like to do that hike again. He kind of laughed and then when he realized I was serious said "let's do it". The kids invited Grandma Jenny, Uncle Ty and Sarah. I wore shoes to protect me from the scary animals found all over the ground and we were off.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Now that it is over, I kind of laugh. It was fun. It was beautiful. I really enjoyed being out in God's amazing creation, with people I love, and would do it again any day - well as long as it was cool outside. Here are some pictures of what I conquered. And before you judge me too hard, know that I have hiked half dome. Did I love it? No. Do I think I might actually enjoy it now? Yep. Well, that is if I could physically do it, but the point is, if I could, I would. Of course, I'm not in the pictures but just know I had to be there to take them.</span></div></div><div>

She did a great job and it was fun to see her start the program off wonderfully. We are very proud of her and love watching her develop this talent. I can't wait to see how she uses it as she grows. Her teacher Mrs. Wanda is a beautiful woman with a heart for God and is so good with Avery (and Adia who she taught for a semester as well). Thank you Mrs. Wanda for being such a great teacher and thank you Avery for all your hard work!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span">

I feel so loved and had to honor Christ's overwhelming love for us with my gang Thursday night. We had a very special time and the sky couldn't have been more beautiful. We found the highest hill near our home and we read the story in Acts 1.

It was cute!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqNuxp5jV-c6JCxtMXxB3FsmR2dsgI9NpBaXsJkmvfU61GsJiG-9zp0BPT_mrc4jRerGh8zQEDqk2ST3fbNxiql8ll7mQGp4TlgdDFc8zRkCB88YMmrZOSdy8SVnPN2nl0xJPo8Jru3xH/s1600/DSCN4212.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqNuxp5jV-c6JCxtMXxB3FsmR2dsgI9NpBaXsJkmvfU61GsJiG-9zp0BPT_mrc4jRerGh8zQEDqk2ST3fbNxiql8ll7mQGp4TlgdDFc8zRkCB88YMmrZOSdy8SVnPN2nl0xJPo8Jru3xH/s320/DSCN4212.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614163373453639938" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; "><b>Happy Ascension Day!</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">(some people choose to celebrate it on Sunday even though it is technically 40 days after the Resurrection)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Next is Pentecost... still dreaming up a beautiful way to celebrate that HUGE gift we were given.</span></div>Middleton Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01340453840917367045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886516458193276625.post-66498964047919054172011-05-13T13:35:00.001-07:002011-05-15T20:37:17.186-07:00Food MonstersWe eat a lot of food in this house! In fact, the majority of my kids, I would bet, eat more than the majority of my adult friends. People with older boys always say to me, "just wait until they are teenagers". It doesn't bug me, but in most of those cases, I am confident my 6 & 12 year old already eat a bit more than their teenager! In fact, my FIL keeps crazy records of everything and he recently looked up how much he bought, when he had all 10 kids living at home. Well, it was no surprise to me that we matched him, in many areas, with only 5 kids and our oldest was 11 at the time. And we do NOT let kids eat as much as they would like. They eat a good portion and that is it. If we let them keep going, we would surely lose our home due to the grocery bill! We buy our eggs by the 5 dozen, we buy 4 gallons of milk at a time and considering no one in this house is allowed to drink milk, I think that is crazy, we buy flour in 25 lb bags and the list goes on! Any way, I thought it might be worth documenting how we buy our ground beef. It's a process that Kyle has down to a science. We bag it, to freeze, in 3 different sizes and every time I laugh. I can't believe, we really are THAT family! Maybe someday I'll show you the chicken routine. :)<div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDjNTXmaHgQSpkdtRrLBFylcmGv2Ffd7G1b8QDcHsuxbDKANlh-3nSE61grdL4vYDaJZIQBZz1Epi_eZCWrzPQJ7EcRz4pAo46S_OOHRSvxPj0u63j_qlLwChq_F932blZ5xnC7Lwoaw/s320/DSCN3282.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606302662815047154" /> <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsfsQolkWOxbuy353x6pKq22z6zFGY_5xCW3uTkB-nsf1HoJ1gdR_tQ0f3eFJl0f_dD46C5ygP1YNRI4WeQK9iK24vi2Z2Q1rz-MQNZfSm1LFFL8XTtNutEsgDbR_X93Q0mSQL8kzd634/s320/DSCN3285.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606302656676534450" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1ju6eok0x9dfVRb-anebekThv2VZ0c2MORo27Au7ognf3hvKv0C1kyQ0LjMavpJUlevTelHAI8_jsg2e9atYpyTEwc9TzfVMHp6IF0Krv-Rr0cr7DpWE1n4SLWyQi0CJfQFhyphenhyphen-mynY0/s1600/DSCN3284.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1ju6eok0x9dfVRb-anebekThv2VZ0c2MORo27Au7ognf3hvKv0C1kyQ0LjMavpJUlevTelHAI8_jsg2e9atYpyTEwc9TzfVMHp6IF0Krv-Rr0cr7DpWE1n4SLWyQi0CJfQFhyphenhyphen-mynY0/s320/DSCN3284.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606302666063129602" /></a><div><br /></div></div>Middletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11789693569512059327noreply@blogger.com8
