Babcock Family Pictures 2009









We tried to get family pictures done, I didn't care to much for how they came out as a family but I did love the kids pictures. They are growing up so fast and its amazing when you stop and take a picture for the memories they have already gone by. We really need to take more time out of the busy, surviving every day things and sit with them, tell them how proud we are and how well they are doing. I am so proud of my kids they each have straight A's in school. They are in activities and Devon and Damon love scouts. We are defiantly busy but it will pass you bye before you know it.
I love you guys! Love mom

Damon on TV

Damon will be on TV on Monday 11/16/2009 @ 5:00 & 6:00 on channel 4. His classroom at school is doing a "Giving Tree" and one of the kids in his class, mom works for the station and interviewed some of the kids. We have been laying their cloths out the night before and Damon says "Mom I don't think this outfit is appropriate to be on TV" I responded "Ow, Yes, I think your right lets find something else to where". He usually combs his own hair and says "Mom I will need you to combs my hair today so it looks OK on TV", I said "OK Damon I will help you out.

Damon mentioned they only wanted energetic answers, he said he was so nervous his knees were shacking but he was excited and answered the question as best as he could. He is so nervous that he will miss seeing it. We have it scheduled to be taped on the TV and are excited to see him. If you remember look for him!

Damon turned 8



Damon Happy Birthday. I can't believe you are 8 now. Time sure goes by us when we start to look back. You are always happy, helping out others, still just as excited to get a cake and any gifts your family give you. I have been sick for over 4 days and I know he wanted a chocolate cake with white frosting on top. So with my dear friends help of easy suggestions Michelle Roberts now in Arizona. She gave me this idea. Now Damon has loved Dinosaurs every sense he was able to walk. So I am pretty artistic and new that this shouldn't be to hard to do. All went well until the cake cooled and I tried cutting the sections, and it was way to moist and started to fall apart. I then made the frosting and it got runny. I wanted to cry at this point and go back to bed from not feeling good. So I let the frosting go into the areas it needed to go back together and made it run off the dinosaur to look like the ground and dirt. I showed it to Damon and he was so excited, "how did you do that?". "This is the best cake ever" gosh he sure knows how to make a mom feel good - for those who buy cakes, I have ordered them in the past and they look good but he had never said it was the best, so remember the ones made from the heart are more special then the ones ordered! I even made him his favorite dinner Chinese food from scratch. I cleaned his room and rearranged it as my gift and made him a large Birthday banner in his room. He was so excited. It didn't take allot to make this 8 year old have a great birthday ever. He got several new toys - robot transformer things - Biogonds. New shoes and a new scooter. We love you Damon.

Halloween Day 2009


Happy Halloween to everyone. I hope you had a great evening. We had a great time. Mindi of course is getting older and didn't want to dress up let along go out with her friends. She went will a small group to the Haunted Forest and they had a great time there she was Tiger which is obvious. It was Damon's at a size 4-6 it looked great on her. She was even mad I took the picture. That is what mothers do keep the memories. Ben & I walked around the neighborhood with Damon and Devon they each got 6 plus pounds of candy. I was a football player which is Devon's football gear. Then on Halloween night I was a Basketball Player. Our neighbor had a great Scary Haunted Garage that their family made. It was a hit around the neighborhood. The boys got to be different costumes for the Trunk r Treat and for the Halloween evening. They were M&M's for school together and then Damon was the skeleton one night and I found a "Cat in the Hat" hat and asked Devon if he wanted to be that and sure enough he did. We all had a great time.
