Here we all are at Flounders right on the beach. Chad got to see a friend of his from high school. Dusty (on the right, blonde) is stationed at Pensacola until the Fall. On the right is me, Becky, and her husband Jackie. The kids ( 7 of them) were on the playground right in the middle of the resteraunt. I will post more pictures of everyone on the beach later. We had a great time and came back pretty tired. Can you guess what Jackie does for a living just by looking at him? He is the one with the Fu Man Choo. haha.
BTW, that is NOT my baby. Her name is Jessica and she is Dusty's.

A couple more pictures from the trip. Claire and Katie had a great time together.
Chad and I bought an RV and we are off to FL for the next couple of weeks. Pictures coming soon!!!!

Fin and Feather Reunion 2007

Here is everyone that came to Fin and Feather for a mini-family reunion. We had a great time again this year. We missed everyone who could not come. Maybe next year. We are considering Branson as the next fabulous spot.

In the picture with the three girls, she is on the right with the pink bathing suit.

We had Katie's 4th birthday party on Saturday. She had four little girls from her preschool (church) and Nana, Papa, Aunt Tracy, Uncle John, etc, etc.

We set up our bonzai slide and a small pool and played outside for the entire afternoon. She had a great time with everyone. Even our neighbors showed up!

Its official, I do not have any more babies. :(

Katie's 4th birthday!!

We had pioneer day at Regent on Tuesday. It was a great day of fun. Emma got to hunt, fish, do leather tooling, make butter, learn to do laundry, and many other fun pioneer time activities.

She caught 5 fish! Of course it was a stocked pond, but who cares.

There is a new kitty at our house. The girls and I went to the Animal shelter and "rescued" her last week. Grace named her Angel.

After reading Chad's cousin's blog today, we will not be having any "sneaking suspicions" about her. She has been fixed. haha. But the girls would be more than thrilled with that kind of surprise. Good luck S.

The girls are thrilled because the cat lets them carry her everywhere. They have even put her in the baby stroller and strolled around the house. She seems to be quite tolerant of 4 little girls. We have just finished spring break and today is the first day no one has run a fever in over a week. Yuck! I guess the positive is no loss of school. I took P to see Night at the Museum with one of her friends tonight and I laughed through the entire movie. About halfway through the movie, she leaned over and says "Mom, I don't get it". Oh well, myself and her friend's mother thought it was hysterical. A great movie to see. --- My first movie review.

We had Civil War Day at School last Friday for Paige. She got dress up in a Southern Belle costume and have a re-enactment. It was really funny because most of the girls went onto the field as nurses, and drag the "wounded" off the field. Paige changed out of her dress, grabbed a rifle, and fought along side of the boys. She was no nurse! I am so proud. she is in the blue shirt in the picture on the field. The Paper came out and intervied some of the students and Paige made it into the Saturday paper! Cool! There are only 11 4th grade girls at her school. (we go to a small, private school)

Here is Emma on her 8th birthday. We went to a place that you get to paint ceramics. It was a lot of fun. Her birthday was Dec 30th. (that is Grace in the maroon shirt in the background)

Emma shares a birthday with her papa, George.

As you can see in the pictures, Tulsa became one huge ice cube a couple of weeks ago. This is NOT snow. It is all ice. It was so slick that you could not walk anywhere. You really could not sled because it was too dangerous.

Luckily, we only lost power for about 3 hours. Thank Goodness! The "glacier" is still in the front yard.

Birthday's

Paige just celebrated her 10th birthday. She wanted to go the mall, shop and eat at the food court with a few of her friends. It was a fun afternoon. (Paige is in orange) A couple of the moms went with me so I was not alone at the mall with all of these goofy girls.

Me and Aunt Ruth at Christmas. We had Christmas at our house this year. I also made the girls wear matching pj's again this year. The right of being the mother!

The George Bobble Head

What do you get for someone who needs nothing for Christmas? A custom Bobble head!

It is a George Bobble!

Grace had her 6th birthday on Oct 9th. None of us could find a lighter or anything to light her cake with so we had to "pretend" to blow out the cake. Oh well, she still loved it. We went to a gymnastic studio.

The above photo is Katie riding the bumper boats at the fair. She was so excited to be big enough to do it.

I had forgotten to post a picture of Grace and Katie's first day of school.

Grace went to Kindergarten and Katie went to our church's preschool.

It is official, I have no babies left at home.

BUT, they will always be my babies!

We went to the fair this past weekend and Emma and Grace wanted to ride the "Bull". Paige and Katie would have nothing to do with it. Emma was bucked off pretty quickly, but they were unable to get buck of Grace. They finally had to just tell her to get off herself. What a bull rider!
