Sparks Train Museum

About three years ago I went up to the passenger car near the Sparks Heritage Museum and looked in the windows and saw some cool curtains and old looking furnishings and wanted to go inside. I called the museum and they said they were in the process of raising funds

UPDATE after a 2-month hiatus

Tucker after his Valentine's Day party at preschool. The boys all in one spot. We finally got to go tour the train at the Sparks Heritage Museum. They have put a lot of work into making the train look nice and we enjoyed seeing inside. I've

Three Christmases

Here is a ton of pictures from our three different Christmases. We had Christmas here at our house, then at the Ross' house on Christmas Eve, then we went to Visalia to have Christmas there! (all the pics are not in order) Getting Cars 2 DVD A Beyblade ripper

Looks like a black eye....

Carson looks like this cause: a) Savannah wacked him with a spoon b) Tucker punched him c) he punched himself d) somehow he hit his head/eye while at the park Yes, of course, this is a mysterious injury from the park. I was there, but didn't see

Joy to the World

Merry Christmas from the Knight Family! Comments Andrea (Dec 18, 2011): Oh and Tucker's face in the second Christmas picture is a 'classic Angela' face. Andrea (Dec 18, 2011): Tucker looks as old as Carson. Weird how pictures can make you look older.

Halloween

Ok, picture overload. Some are out of order. Here we are at a pumpkin patch in Visalia. On a hayride. Grandma Bea with Savannah. They had 'corn boxes'. Like a sandbox, but filled with dried corn kernels. Tucker, Carson and Savannah before trick-or-treating. Tucker didn't like

Award

This is the second time Carson has been rewarded for his 'community spirit, kindness and respect for others'. So he got to get a much-awaited Beyblade. Way to go, Carson! We are so glad you are a good kid who's respectful to others. Comments Andrea (Oct

Go to cake School!

Savannah isn't quite 1 year old yet, she will be on Monday. Since Grandma Bea and Grandpa Gene were coming to visit us, we celebrated early. Here is the 'professionally decorated' cake we got from Safeway bakery. The bright yellow and pink, the lopsided shape, and

Think Kindness Golf Tournament

To celebrate some recent software releases at work and to take a break, the company treated the developers to a day of golf.  We entered the Think Kindness Charity Golf Tournament (http://www.thinkkindness.org/) at Lakeridge golf course. Other than driving ranges, I don't think that I&

Grassy times

Just having some backyard time today.

Fountain Fun

We went to the rib cookoff a couple weeks ago and went to the fountains after eating a couple of ribs. Savannah loved it, she just wanted to crawl all over, but I didn't want her soaked, so I was holding on to her the whole time. And

School Cafeteria Food

Carson decided to eat hot lunch at the school cafeteria this week.  Yesterday I asked him what he ate --- fish. I asked him if it was like fish sticks or more like a filet.  He responsed, "No.  It wasn't like meat." Pretty scary... Comments Andrea

Damonte Park

Keepin' it simple, going to a park. You can see how high this structure went in some of the pictures. The last picture shows the view of the next structure from the larger structure, way up high. The kids are changing, getting older, looking older. For those of you

Reno Aces

So it was time to redeem those free seats at an Aces game that Carson got at the end of his kindergarten year. Keith, Carson and Grandpa Knight went to the Aces game last night, against the Nashville Sounds. To complete the experience, Carson got a hotdog. This really cool

Grade One

(This was taken on the second day of school, Tucker shielding his eyes from the sun) The first day of 1st grade for Carson. A little sad, I did get choked up, just a little. I know, you're shocked, but I did get a little emotional - for

Fun in the Sun

Spider stories aside, here are the pictures from our trip to California. Above is Storyland, Fresno. It's been there since I was a kid and it shows......but it was a fun little adventure. Pirate ship, which was in pretty good shape still. Knight's castle. (I

Rest in Peace, Fuzzy Spider

So, the spider survived and I looked it up online, it's just a jumping spider. We probably brought him to California in our car from Nevada. He's got green fangs! I just think he looks so cool, he or she. But, he/she is dead now.

Baby Tarantula?

This spider was in our car. I know it's not that great of a picture, but it looked like a baby tarantula. It was black, with white stripes and was fuzzy! Soooo scary looking, and pretty big too. Can you guess what type of spider this is? Doesn&

Carson's kindergarten teacher chose one student out of her whole class to be the recipient of an award for "outstanding citizenship, academics, and demonstrating respect, responsibility, and safety". These are pictures of the assembly where he received a certificate of achievement, along with a certificate to
