(Applause dies down after standing ovatio)
Thank you Rebecca and Matt for the fabulous update, now I know you are all waiting for an update on KK as well so here with that update, please Welcome his adorable and funny Mother, Alanna Little: (The Crowd goes WILD!!!)
KK went in for his overnight chemo on Monday. we moved the day so that he would be feeling good cuz we are going to see George Michael tonight. Yeah....Richie is soooo excited. KK is doing good today, his spirits were down on Monday and they
had a rough start trying to access his port. Jeffrey showed up at the hospital and
they had lunch, KK's favorite pizza paggliacci. His BP was pretty high and they
monitored it closely, it finally came down without any meds. High BP is due to one
of the chemos he gets. He had a hearing test last week that showed his high pitch
range of hearing has been slightly affected from the chemo. the docs said they had
expected that and he doesn't need a hearing aid. Its a part of the hearing range that we don't use in regular conversation. He was a little upset but Auntie Marcy, who took him to the appt. was able to talk to him and give him a big mamma hug since I wasn't there. His red blood count was a little bit lower than normal going into last week but of course, like a champ he was able to bring it up.
(The crowd again goes WILD cheers and applause for KK!!!)
(encore, encore, bravo bravo for KK)

Readers.. START...YOUR....ENGINES!!!!!
OK so I'll be nicer then normal and get the update done here up front so as not to keep you impatient folks waiting... hahahah what am I talking about no way.. you all get to read the pre-race show and all about the burnin' rubber, the awesome drivers and all the fun and excitement that was had at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe on Saturday 6/21/08 Kelton Little Day!!! Before you get the good news about today's scans!!! So without further ado let's get the pre-race festivities underway shall we..........
So the Little's and extended family and a few friends of KK's and TT's arrived at the track at around 5:30PM they got in their pre-race-junk food fix, you know the typical corn dogs, hot dogs, greasy onion burgers, cotton candy etc.. you get the point, good ol' fair kinda food mmmm mmm mmmm gets you fueled up for the long haul...ok so they headed up to find some choice seats just above the start/finish line,it's a picture perfect day as you'll see in the pictures in the Gallery Sun is shining, it's mid 70's, some puffy clouds,a rainbow, the American flag, my Son and good friends, a race track with cars turning some practice laps and qualifying going on, my personal version of heaven on earth, all that was missing for me was Auntie Christy (awwwwww you know you ladies said awwwww right there....but it's true) ok back on "track"... ugh oh the puns are starting to flow, but they are so easy with racing they just come outta no where.. so we've established that it was a gorgeous
Saturday evening KK and family got to meet Amy Chavez, the Nascar Mom who helped coordinate this exhilarating event!! (it was her idea, sent in to idea@keltonlittle.com THANKS AMY!!)So Qualifying for the NASCAR Whelen All American Super Stock's got underway and wrapped up fairly quickly setting the tone for the night: fast, loud, exciting but safe! With the field set for the heat races
they brought several cars from each series up to the the start finish line so fans could go down and meet the stars, get some autographs and see the racing machines up close and personal. The NASCAR Whelen All American Mini Stocks was the division that really put the pedal to the metal for KK, they all signed a helmet for KK and presented him with a HUGE trophy and lots of "goodies"! KK got to sit in the red 01 Car of Mark Weedin and was thrilled! When KK was asked by Reporter Scott Whitmore of the Everett Herald who he thought would win, he replied Hands down, the Red 01! Scott was sceptical but KK was firm and said there was no doubt about it...well we'll see if his prediction came true around turn 4 later..this is still the pre-race show after all, I haven't heard a boogity, boogity, boogity yet have you??
Ok so they clear the track of all the eager fans , the pace car pulls out onto the front stretch, predictions are duly noted, someone ( I wish I could plug her but I don't know her name) beautifully sang our National anthem it's time to go racin'!!!! but wait... Richard, Alanna and KK step out onto the track and what?? they are getting INTO the Pace car!! WOO HOOO so they get buckled in, and man they got a bugs eye view of the whole track! They did a couple laps in the pace car and then pulled to the infield. So I got the honor of being on the flag stand to take some pictures and video of KK in the pace car (again see the Gallery) NOW Pull those belts down tight and now you can all say it... together .. 3...2....1...BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOOGITY LET"S GO RACIN' FOLKS!! So here's where I'm probably supposed to get down from the flag stand and go sit and watch the races with the rest of the fans..well you all really don't know how big a race nut I am.... so I stayed up there until they had to ask me to get down, ( It was about 30 mins or so of good racing from the best vantage point in the place ha!!) Ok so after a couple warm up the ole tire laps, the cars line up 2 by 2 for the first heat race of the night, the green flag drops on the official racing for the evening and boy was it exciting! 10 Lap heat races for the Super Stocks, 8 lap heats for the mini stocks, Bombers and figure eights..then on to the main events! All of the racing was exciting but I know you are all wondering if KK's prediction came true well the Mini Stock Main started out a little hairy for the Red 01 but you guessed it by the end of the event Mark Weedin had really gotten up on the wheel and drove it home in 1st place for Kelton. During his post race interview he called Kelton up onto the podium with him and presented KK with his Trophy for the hard won race. You can read more about that in the Herald article and also here on the Mini-stock blog page definitely check them both out they are very cool write-ups on the event!! We all sat and watched the rest of the races and enjoyed the company, corn dog burps and all, as always it's fun to watch everyone's reactions to the near misses in the figure eights the DOH!s and OH's!! and jumping out of yours seats yellin' oh man how did they not wreck?? Were a blast! And man I tell ya....No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'! It was all that! Look for a "racey" video of the evening coming to the gallery soon! Special thanks for the event go out to Amy Chavez, Steve Kelley, Steve Green #10, Mark Weedin #01, Mikey Fritz #2,Dale Creager #21, Rod Helmuth #05, Nat Barber #97 and Terry Buell from the track who made the pace car ride happen! And all of Evergreen Speedway and the Mini-Stock Division!!! It was all over the top..oh wait wrong movie... it was a Day of Thunder!!
Ok so the moment you've all been racing through that portion to get to... the update on how KK is doing and how his Scans went today.... Well the news continues to be positive!! All the tumors with the exception of the ones in his lungs are still completely gone! There are also no new tumors. The tumors in his lungs are still the same size, but the Dr's think it's possible that they are dying form the inside out and may not shrink with the Chemo. They may do a biopsy in the future to see if that is the case or not, but for now it's "stay the course". The spot in his leg seems to be leftover radiation and the area affected has decreased considerably since their last scan which is great news, though it's still his main pain point! So the plan now is a total of 8 rounds of chemo treatments, they start round 5 next week and will decide to biopsy or not to biopsy between round 6 and 7. SO please keep the love and support flowing! pass on the website to friends and family to keep this momentum up and have them (and you) sign the guestbook! This weekend should be exciting too..it's the big ( or should I say "Little" motorcycle ride up Stevens Pass!! Be sure to tell all your Biker Buddies about it and check out the ride page!!
Ok so we're coming around turn four for this update and the winner, he's lapped the whole field is Kelton "KK", "Cole Trickle" Little taking the Checkers and the crowd goes wild, fireworks are flying and I can't wait to hear his victory lane speech once he wins the whole championship and takes the Victory Cup out of the hands of Cancer!!!! Keep Kickin' it KK! But do me a favor won't ya? While we're under caution between races, I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car..... ;-)
Until Next time
Uncle Mikey will be hangin' out on Pit road eatin' Ice cream :-P
Oh and Mr. Denton, the Lightning Thief is a good book I hear, my son loved it and I just got him the most recent one in the series (book 4 I think) so be ready for more then just one book A little rebellious pre-teen boy meets greek mythology, I think I'm going to read the series myself :-)

To THE ENTIRE HORIZON STAFF-
Well it is that time of year, the end of another grade and a time to relax. We have to take this moment as a family to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you. This year is different for us since we won’t be returning to our safe haven next year. We want to start with saying that the support that all of you have given us as a family but mostly to Kelton this year has been something that we will remember forever.
From the first moment of sending Kelton off to kindergarten and being scared to leave him alone for the day, to walking in the Halloween parade and doing the YMCA, field trips, classroom parties, assemblies, hearing Kelton tell me how awesome his teachers are(especially outside of class and finding out about all the tattoos) fundraisers, getting to know parents, recess, what he had for lunch, class projects, the hockey game, camp, to watching him on HOWL TV and so much more we have been so appreciative of the staff of this elementary school. I think that we are all in agreement that Kelton is a remarkable child, and I have to admit that as his parent’s cannot take ALL the credit for it. As the staff of an elementary school not only do you establish education in our children but you help to mold them into the people they will one day become. You give the base and you give them the stars. Over and over again throughout Kelton’s life people have complimented us how what a wonderful child we have raised. Richard and I often don’t know what to say because we just feel that that is the person he is. All of us are equally responsible in molding him into a caring strong person. Not just him but all of the children that each and every one of you have the honor to come in contact with. We wish that we could thank you each personally.
I have to admit that I am both happy and very sad (possibly a little scared) that this year is coming to an end. I am sure that all of you feel that every year. We as family have an unknowing road in front of us and some serious hurdles to jump ahead. The one thing that I do know is that we will never have the support that all of you have given us in any other school. Thank you is just never enough. I wish that each of could feel the appreciation that we have in our hearts for all that you have given to contribute to the growth of Kelton.
I can tell you only this…..I tell Kelton that he is my favorite song. You know that feeling when you hear your favorite song? It doesn’t matter where you are, at the grocery store or in your car. It makes you smile it makes you want to dance. You feel like you are young and can do anything, your emotions soar and you are on top of the world. You sing every word and know every beat. That is Kelton to me. He brings that joy to me every day and I just want to thank you for helping us write the lyrics and discover the beat.
We will continue to fight our battle because for us there is no other option. Thank you all and my god bless you and continue to allow you to give the gift of molding a phenomenal individual both in education and in spirit as you blessed us with.
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT…….GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!

Uncle Mike's a slacker.....Quiz time and Update...
Yes I hear you and you're absolutely right :-( I've not done the best job at keeping you dedicated readers updated on how things are going...just make sure not to crack my knuckles too hard though or when I do type the updates I'll have to do it with my nose and then the tyupoingh woiudlk loioik kindsa liekw thjis which I'm sure you don't want... any hooo... back to the topic at hand, you are here, reading this blog update interested in getting a status or update on Master Kelton Little, also known as KK, also known as one of the Stars of HOWL TV. I'll need to check your credentials before we go any further with this update though as it seems there are paparazzi everywhere these days, and I need to be sure that you're cleared by Princess Alanna prior to gaining access to this update... ok so quiz time so we can verify you are who you think you are..
Question 1. What is the name of Ron and Don from 710KIRO's producers name?
Question 2. Who is the Next President of the United States?
Question 4. What happened to question #3?
Question 5. At the Kids for Kelton Kar wash and Krispy Kreme Sale, Which Parent had the Whistle?
Question 6. What is The Famous Kelton Little's Favorite Color?
Question 7. Why does everyone look up when someone yells "duck"?
Question 8. are you about ready for the update yet??
Question 9. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
And the final Question... If KK was an animal which one would he be?
Ok so if you got them all correct , you knew that the very cool Katie was one, and shame on you if you said Obama ok or McCain for number 2... there is still a vote to be held in November and that's a ways off and but be sure to vote as long as you're republican...hee hee it's good to be the Blog master :-P ...and the answer to question 4? You guessed it, question 3 crossed the road with that darn proverbial chicken, and for 5 you knew it was Dan so you're very close to getting the update! Especially if you knew Pink was 6 and 7 is obviously the same reason that we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway.... and 8 well sorry but we're getting there, you see it's been awhile since I've had the time to write so you can skip to the "UPDATE" section below if you've grown weary of my silliness....but you know you really are curious about the final answer so for number 9 (number nine, number nine)you know that a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Ok so you've passed the test up until this point so you must be legit and not the paparazzi so you may continue reading......
UPDATE
Question 10 has a lot to do with KK's update you see, because you could pick just about any of the incredible characteristics of all the animals out there and say that KK is like them in some way or another. He has the brave heart of a Lion, the gentleness of a lamb, the Majesty of an Eagle, the strength of an Ant (Don't worry he's not "buggin" ants really are strong).. so pick your animal, find it's greatest feature and find a way to apply that to KK and drop note in the Guestbook to tell us what you think :-) it'll be a fun game, but keep it positive!! I've started so you continue it and pass it on!
KK's doing pretty good of course hes positive as always and brave and strong!! He went in today for bloodwork and to visit with the Dr. He still has quite a bit of pain in his leg, they are going to see how he's doing after tomorrow's overnight Chemo and if he's still in a lot of pain they will do a bone scan to try to determine what's causing the pain. Two weeks from today is their next scheduled set of everything scans/tests to see where they are with progress, they are going to be looking hard at the cancer in his lungs and if they haven't shrunk any, they may do a biopsy to see if the cancer is dying from the inside out which they believe is a possibility. But it is a waiting period and really we all just hope and pray that their next scans show the cancer much smaller if not gone all together! So you have two weeks people, get some prayers and thoughts and positive wishes into the guestbook and lets get some momentum back for these next couple of weeks, remind your friends and neighbors and church groups and boy and girl scout troops, your baseball teams, your chess clubs and Oprah book of the month club members .. your Kiwanis and Lions clubs, your Rotary and Lions your grandmother that has a PC (ok or a eeew MAC), your Army buddies that have big hearts, your coworkers and class mates, cousins and kinfolk even a critter or two (Jess, I'm talkin' to you!bkd) and have them stop by the guestbook even if they've done it before and drop a note to KK who's hurting right now, he needs all of our strength!
OK so some other updates, I got confirmation that the big "shin-dig" is happenin' on July 12th so there WILL be another update soon with some info on that :-)
OK so I know that I really have to get the pictures of the Kwilt up and shame on me for not getting that done! There's just so many pictures that I have from camping that I need to go through I do apologize, remember easy on the knuckles... I promise, promise, promise to get those pictures gone through and get some pictures up very soon, if you'll promise to passs the word some more and get some new entries in the guestbook!!!!
Next update, with pictures very very soon :-)

Oh and bonus material... here's a link to a cool article on the Kar Wash: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19734627&BRD=1024&PAG=461&dept_id=231484&rfi=6

Here's a super cute Pic from the Kar Wash :-)
Question 1. What is the name of Ron and Don from 710KIRO's producers name?
Question 2. Who is the Next President of the United States?
Question 4. What happened to question #3?
Question 5. At the Kids for Kelton Kar wash and Krispy Kreme Sale, Which Parent had the Whistle?
Question 6. What is The Famous Kelton Little's Favorite Color?
Question 7. Why does everyone look up when someone yells "duck"?
Question 8. are you about ready for the update yet??
Question 9. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
And the final Question... If KK was an animal which one would he be?
Ok so if you got them all correct , you knew that the very cool Katie was one, and shame on you if you said Obama ok or McCain for number 2... there is still a vote to be held in November and that's a ways off and but be sure to vote as long as you're republican...hee hee it's good to be the Blog master :-P ...and the answer to question 4? You guessed it, question 3 crossed the road with that darn proverbial chicken, and for 5 you knew it was Dan so you're very close to getting the update! Especially if you knew Pink was 6 and 7 is obviously the same reason that we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway.... and 8 well sorry but we're getting there, you see it's been awhile since I've had the time to write so you can skip to the "UPDATE" section below if you've grown weary of my silliness....but you know you really are curious about the final answer so for number 9 (number nine, number nine)you know that a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Ok so you've passed the test up until this point so you must be legit and not the paparazzi so you may continue reading......

Yo! Alle Camper - Tumwater Campingplatz in Leavenworth-Regeln!
Yo! All campers - Tumwater campground in Leavenworth rules! The campers started arriving on Thursday and at the peak of the outing, for our "family", we had over 25 people in our camp! The weather was perfect, not to hot and not to cold (with the help of the campfire and some beverages in the evening) just a tiny bit of rain Saturday night to knock down the dust.
Janie Casey and her lovely Mother Irene showed up on Friday to deliver the awesome Kwilt! Thank you to everyone who sent in a square! And special extra hugs and thanks to Janie and Irene!!! Be sure to support them and their annual Grinde Memorial Golf Tournament on July 26th in East Wenatchee!!!! The proceeds all go to the American Cancer Society to fight for a cure!!!
KK was napping when Janie and Irene showed up but Alanna got him up and he absolutely loved the Kwilt! He slept with it all weekend and I'm betting he keeps it near him for many years to come! We all took a trip into Leavenworth on Saturday, did the obligatory Brat's, Schnitzels and my Licorice Ice cream some shopping and generally enjoyed the day together. The highlight of Saturday was the Old Western group Pictures we took, be sure to check them out in the Gallery in the next couple days and see if you can pick out crazy Uncle(?)D!! It's kinda like where's Waldo only slightly different... You'll see... he was reticent but it was a RIOT and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! KK felt pretty good most of the weekend and mostly just hung out and enjoyed the sounds of the river, the beautiful views and the comfort of having 3 generations of Little's along with multiple extended family all within snoring range ... did I mention that the nights were like an orchestrated event of grizzly bears arguing with thunder set to te background of other bodily functions..Lions, tigers and bears oh may had nothing on this group!??! Oh and the food all weekend was wonderful, KK's Gramma and Grandpa, 2great Aunts and and Great uncle were all with us from Thailand and mmmm mmm mmm is all I can say for the good eatin'!!! When will the pad thai be ready was a frequent phrase :-) Along with "mama how much was that bag?" ( sorry inside joke but it's pretty funny, but yeah, you had to be there)
KK got a slight reprieve from Chemo to be able to attend his school camp a week or so ago, so he's feelin' pretty good and hasn't had to take any pain pills or nausea meds for a few days now Yipppeeee!!! He gets back on his normal schedule of Chemo next week Tuesday and Wednesday so be sure to drop notes in the guestbook to keep him pumped up!!
Upcoming events: We have the Motorcycle ride on the 28th, be sure to check out the Little Ride Page!! We're probably going to be camping up at Leavenworth again that weekend if KK's feelin' up to it.
And there's talk of a July 12th HUGE bash with poker, live music, an awesome auction and lots of other fund raising events!! More details on that to come soon!!
And possibly a collection jar at the am/pm on the corner of Harbour Pointe Blvd., and the speedway more to come on that too!!
Keep up the guestbook entries, bug your friends and neighbors to drop a note in there!! We're a long way from being done, I know that I've not updated the blog as often as I should so Let's make a deal ... I'll do better if you'll post more often in the guestbook ;-) More to come soon and look for some really good, and some pretty hilarious pictures(some even think supernatural) in the gallery in the next day or two!!!
Until next time,
