Hannah the Chef
Hannah is enjoying her Culinary Arts Program at school. Every other day her class spends 3 hours cooking, baking, and learning to run a restaurant from the ground up. She took extensive classes in food safety, ordering, proper cleaning techniques etc. She gets to wear her cool funky chefs uniform complete with chefs hat (even has her name embroidered on it!). She loves her class and hopes to be a famous chef someday!

Beagles EVERYWHERE!
Daisy is the one on the right in the front with her nose to the ground
I went to the Washington DC Beagles club and took Daisy for a play date hahaha. I know that sounds insane..but it was hilarious! We met at a Doggy Daycare center in Vienna, VA and met 22 other Beagle owners and the dogs ran around and had fun. Daisy was cautious at first , but then relaxed and ran around. Thought you would enjoy the pictures.
Hannah Banana's 16th Birthday WASHINGTON DC STYLE
The whole gang Chinatown Washington DC NOV 15, 2008
Hannah and her coldstone cake
Blowing out the candles re-enacted haha
Having fun!
Hannah the leaf eater and Lauren the steak eater!I can't believe Hannah is 16 already! Where did the time go? She had a blast for her sweet 16 and had 9 of her friends meet at the house at 11am on Saturday. They all took the bus to the metro and rode to the Washington National Zoo. We then met them up in Chinatown at 6:30pm at our favorite restaurant and had some great food! We got her a ColdStone ice cream cake and everyone had a great time. Her friend Lauren from Guam (who moved to Japan last year) is living about 30 minutes from us now and came down as well. She got her this hilarious Brontosaurus "VEGETARIAN" shirt and Lauren wore her TREX "CARNIVORE" shirt. If you don't know by now, Hannah is now a vegetarian .but still eats eggs, milk and fish. Not the whole family..just her...we still need our extra rare steaks! haha.
Tonya, Donald, Mallory and Kaiden Leathers
The cast didn't even phase her! Look at that gorgeous SMILE!!!!!
He looks like a toddler in this cute big boy outfit! What a sweetiepie!
The Leathers Family November 2008I got to make a quick trip to Kentucky last weekend and had a blast! First I got picked up at the Louisville Airport by Tonya and Donald Leathers and their adorable daughter Mallory! THANKS FOR COMING TO GET ME!! Tonya was one of my former high school students from Oneida Baptist Institute. She was one of my favorites, we unofficially adopted her, she was part of our wedding and I MISS HER TERRIBLY! She married Donald and they have two adorable kids. Mallory (16 months) just had surgery last monday for a tumor on her hip and is doing really well now...but in a big blue body cast. Kaiden is a sweet baby who was born in September and is growing like a weed! I also spent some time in Oneida with our friends Sheri, Lance and Cameron Nutter. It was Sheri's birthday and we had a wonderful time (as always) and I made her supper. We got to see Matthew and Melissa Coldiron and their kids, Mike and Debbie Winters, Becky and Ellie Kendrick, and got to meet the lady who is illustrating Sheri's children's book Sandy. It was a nice evening, and I sure do miss everyone!We got to go up to see their oldest son Robert , his wife Savannah and their new baby Piper (sorry no pictures...UGH forgot the camera!)... We also got to stop at the Corbin Medical Center and see the Garretts for a bit! Suzi Garrett is recouperating from surgeryand is in great spirits!! Thanks for the wonderful weekend Leathers , Nutters, Coldirons, Winters, Kendricks, and Garretts

Halloween 2008 Hannah the Panda
Hannahhhh the pandahhhhhh on our front porch. Hannah and her friends all went trick or treating over at Fort Belvoir and then watched scary movies. I insisted that 16 year olds are too old to trick or treat, but I was overruled haha. She will turn 16 in 14 days!!! Where has the time gone???
The Panda and Pumpkins on the porchSunday, November 2, 2008
FINALLY FINISHED!
The finished pumpkin except Katie's because she is a perfectionist and took an hour longer than the rest of us haha. Check out Daisy the Beagle with the creepy glowing orange eyes looking out the door....WEIRD!!! She is a Halloween DOG
Katie (age 18) and her musical masterpiece..it has her name on it and music notes. Daisy the Halloween Beagle of the Dead with the glowing orange eyes is looking out the door here too!
Katie Daron and Hannah carving (more like STABBING)
Katie is so gross haha. Daisy was watching everything she was doing and wanted to jump in and eat whatever it was she was trying to eat.
They are both biting their lip..thought that was funny
Scary pumpkin carving..we found some HUGE pumpkins this year!
I KNOW I KNOW IM LAME for not keeping up with this! So much has gone on since June 2008 haha. First of all we now live in Alexandria, Virginia. We found a house on Patton Blvd...so The Patton's live on Patton TOO COOL EH? Katie decided the Academy was not for her and came home after 3 weeks saying that she doesn't want to be in the military after all. (We were disappointed, but 10 years in the Air Force when she didn't like it would have been horrible, so we are dealing with it all). She is planning on going to Eastern Kentucky University for the first year and working with her old Flute teacher (Professor Kristen Keane) and try to get an audition together for a music school?? Not sure yet..but will let you know. She is now working at Ted's Montana's Grill (Ted Turner's upscale steak place) in Alexandria and she really loves it. She will start school in January. Hannah is liking her school and is a junior at Mt Vernon High School (about 2 minutes from Mt Vernon Plantation). She is in the Culinary Arts program and wants to be a chef. She has made several friends now and is enjoying school and making A's and B's. Daron likes his job..he is working for the Washington Navy Yard at NavSea. He goes into the newly built ships (The George H W Bush is the latest (a carrier)) and tells them where to put medical equipment etc. I decided not to teach this year and to be a nanny for 2 (3 month old) boys (TJ and Caleb). I work until around 2pm and am really loving it. Here are some pictures of pumpkin carving!! Enjoy..Ill try to post something every week now that Im finally all settled in We love and miss you all!

Katie's Big Day in Colorado
Hi All! Sorry it's been so long since I have posted any news. We are now all moved into our new address in Alexandria, VA. We are trying to get settled and get pictures hung up to make it feel like home. We sadly (but proudly) sent Kate off to the Air Force Academy in Colorado on the 25th and she was greeted by her sponsor/host family. They brought her home and fed her supper and then got her up early on the 26th and took her to inprocessing . Col. MacElhaney and his wife Gladys took great care of her and even took a bunch of pictures of her! They also hosted another Cadet (Brad) so many of the pictures are of the two of them. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Once they cross the bridge you see in the picture they start getting screamed at haha. Kate called me the morning that she left nervous, but excited. We are so incredibly proud of her and can't wait until her graduation in 2012
