IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TEXAS!





























Friday night lights are in full swing here in McKinney. Landry's team, the McKinney Boyd High School Broncos, are now 4 /3. We've had a couple of rough weeks, and this is our bye week. However, if we can bring in 2 more District wins, we'll make first round of the playoffs. We have been blessed this year to have lots of family attend games with us, which makes it so much fun! The boy got nominated for King of Athletics, so I got my 2 seconds of glory on the field at half-time as his escort. As Mark put it, the Kemps were able to maintain their perfect record of never having won anything in the popularity department, as Landry was beat out by another kid! Oh, well, it keeps us humble! See the inflatable Bronco head [above] as it spews Bronco football players out of its mouth before the game and at halftime!

Family From the South and the North Meets in the Middle!

























From the South:




Haley and Scout came to see us in September, and we had a great time together. Wes flew in on Saturday from Washington, so we got to see him, too. Got what is beginning to be a rare picture of all the kids together. We also celebrated Steve's Birthday (double nickles - 55!)




From the North:




Mike, Cindy and Mindy were all here at Mark and Jen's to attend the OU / BYU game at Texas Stadium. Haley and I decided to tag along and we had a great time! The Cowboy Stadium is a sight to see, a monster of a structure!

Family Get-together in August


Here are Mike, Jen and Vicki's youngest children, Mark, Jacob and Landry.


We were all able to meet at Mom's in Norman for a weekend in August. Vicki and Jake were there from NY, and we had a great time playing pool ball, eating, and visiting!





WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED !
