Steve

Steve is the our sixth child. He was the oldest of "the little kids". He was and still is a great example to all of his brothers and sisters.

I always tried to take the kids about once a year to get their pictures taken until they were in school. Steve hated his picture taken by anyone who he didn't know. Every time we would try, he would start crying. He had to be bribed with an icecream cone to get this one and it took 25 minutes to get one this good! He was very shy and quiet when he was little. I don't remember how he got hurt so many times but around his birthday every year he would cut his lip, have a bump on his head or he would be sick. September wasn't a good month for him. He never complained about anything. He didn't cry much either. . . . except when we wanted a picture. :) He grew up to be just as pleasant. He married Katherine and has three wonderful kids.

• Steve's second year at South Middle School (the same school I work at) teaching band and jazz band. Also is the Assist. Marching Band Director at the High school
• He is the Webelo Leader and co-teaches the nine year olds in Primary with Katherine.

This is Steve's Halloween costume. He was a lumber jack . . . I think.

At Thanksgiving some of the kids went to the jr. high to play football. They did some broad jumping too!
