Good - Bye AMS Volleyball

Great Season Ladies!

"Mine"

The Dynamic Duo - Breck and Kiah - Which camera do we look at?

Chances are Bryan and I have traveled to our last middle school sporting event to watch one of our own children. I am still trying to talk Breckyn into going out for track again but she's not all that interested at the moment. Hard to believe that one more chapter in the middle school years has been closed. I am very proud of Breckyn. She showed a tremendous amount of growth this season while having a lot of fun a long the way!

In Case You Need To Know....

M-16 Series, M4 Riffles, M9 Pistol, Machine Gun and Automatic Weapon Information

My friend Brandi and I took Breckyn for her 1st round of testing for her learners permit (we like to call it a pre-test in the Dunlap household...LOL) and we came upon this startling display outside of the National Guard Armory/Department of Motor Vehicles. Now not only is it unnerving enough to know that my youngest child is old enough to possess a drivers license but to throw in this much information about weapons that I can't even begin to imagine in my wildest nightmares is just too much for this girl to handle! I began to wonder if there is some type of symbolic representation going on here??? Wreck the car and ...... Be back by..... You had how many people in that car???? I don't know if I am ready for 2 teenage drivers but after thinking about it I wonder what the neighbors would think about a big red barrel in my front yard...could just be the new stress reliever I have been looking for! LOL The big question still lingers...WHY do we even need this information in the first place?? Anybody???

AMS Vocal Concert

AMS Select Choir

8th Grade Choir

Breckyn decided to join her friend Chelsea this year and try out for the AMS Select Choir. They practice during Star period each day. She seems to really be enjoying it and I am glad she finally decided to do it. In addition to that class she is in vocal for the 1st semester. I got to giggling when I looked through the pictures that I took the other night at the concert because there was not one decent one in the bunch. This was my favorite - Breckyn and Chelsea look thrilled to be there ( Chelsea did you fall asleep?) BUT it's a great picture of Isaiah - Brad's (Bryan's brother) nephew. The girls are going to ream me for posting this one. LOL!!

Hyllningsfest '09

Swedish Dancers - Seth and the 5th Grade Class

Swedish Dancer Rachel and the 2nd Grade Class

SVHS Viking Football Team Float - Ryan, Class of 2010

Politician Spencer working hard on behalf of the Republican Party during the parade.

My sister and family lives in Lindsborg, otherwise known as Little Sweden. Every two years the town puts on a Swedish festival called Hyllningsfest where they pay tribute to their Swedish forefathers who traveled to this great nation for a better life. My Great Grandfather and Grandmother Peterson where two of those very people. They did not settle in Lindsborg but I find it ironic that their Great Granddaughter lives there today. Swedish customs are dear to my heart because their daughter, my Grandma Schild passed down many Swedish customs and traditions to her heirs.

So, like any good aunt when asked the question by her nephew "Are you coming to watch me dance Aunt Kassi?" replied "I wouldn't miss it!" Rachel and Seth were adorable in their costumes, too bad you couldn't see them in the pictures because they were allowed to wear their coats due to the FREEZING temperatures. I am still in the process of thawing out but I wouldn't have missed it.

Glory Days

AHS - Class of 1986

Cowboy Football

Bryan is in the process of scanning all of our family photos. We have had a blast "strolling down" memory lane. I cracked up when he sent me these 2 photos at work today. That man would go back to high school in a minute if given the chance. Wasn't he a handsome young fella? I am sure you will be seeing more photos from the "Days of Dunlap Past" in the near future.

Tis "My" Season

Two of my favorite things...My Birthday and Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. Life doesn't get much better than this. My mother - in - law hosted a pizza and cake party in my honor Wednesday night and it was YUMMY! Thanks Karen, you are the best! Thanks also to everyone else who has made this year's season a memorable one. I am truly blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life.
