Easter egg hunt at church

The whole gang!

Kenslee had big sister Kendall teaching her about hunting for eggs!

Keaton is a blur in all the pictures, he moved too fast for me

Kason's 1st Easter his daddy thinks he will hate me for this outfit

We had a great time with our friends at church. It rained that morning so they moved things inside. The kids did not care, they all had so much fun anyway. Kendall enjoyed helping hide the eggs, and showing Kenslee just what to do!

Keaton's Basketball

Keaton YES HE SCORES! Keaton has loved any ball since he was a baby, and still does. He just finished boys club basketball. It was a little crazy with games, new baby, homework etc., but we LOVE watching our kids play. It has so far, always been a great time. His team had super coaches and taught them a lot. He will now go right to baseball, but he is already missing basketball.

Kason Thomas finally arrived!!!

Kason arrived on March 4,2009. He is a very big boy, weighing 10.5 and 21 inches long. We are happy to have him here, Kenslee is still a little unsure at times. We knew it would be busy with him, but it is even worse than we imagined. We are loving it, we wouldn't do without any one of them! Here is some hospital photos we will post some more later.

Ice Blast 09

This was a CRAZY week! We were like everyone else we lost our power about 9:00pm Tues night. We have a gas fireplace, so at least we were warm. On Wed, Rich bought a generator to hook up refrigerator and microwave and some lights, plus the TV. No cable, but the kids could play games and watch movies. We are all not roughing it people. We are wimps we admit it! I said if this ever happens again we are heading south till it is over! To make this even better Kendall had been sick, and starting to feel better, but by Thursday Kenslee was not herself. Our power returned Thursday night(note 2 days with admission of being wimps!) Friday morning Kenslee was running fever, after a trip to Dr, we know she has her first ear infection and probably RSV. This is actually her first illness that needed treatment, we do feel lucky for that! The antibiotic for ear should treat anything for RSV so we did not have to have tests or x-rays. She really felt like Kendall had it, but older kids seem to just have cold with coughing. She said if Kenslee got worse call her but for now we were good. On Sunday I was worried, but by Monday morning Kenslee is returning to her full of life self. She is still real congested, and coughing, but is improving!

Ok thats all my whining! We do feel so lucky, no damage and we really had it much better than most! We pray everyone else can survive until their lives return to normal. My family at Senath, are looking at 6 weeks of this, so I should not complain. Kendall and Keaton did take some cool pictures, I will post those later.

Sorry it has been so long, my laptop has passed on. For now we are sharing! We think we have found a name , Kason Thomas. I finally had everyone vote this was our pick, unless we change our minds in the next 7 weeks.(hopefully less than 7 weeks) We are all getting back in routine of school. It is very hectic as usual, I will try to post again soon

Merry Christmas from the Sheppard's!

Each year I take hundreds of pictures trying to get one for the Christmas card, this was the best year yet. This is never a pleasant event, yes I usually end up frustrated. I dreaded this year with Kenslee, but the fifth one was it. YEA It is the first on here. We wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS enjoy the holidays, and think of all our blessings!
