First Day of School

Paige (5th) Emma (3rd) Grace (1st) started school today! Katie starts next week (pre k)
They were so excited and nervous at the same time.

Chad played on our church's softball league. He had a really good time even though they got destroyed. (he is in the red visor)

Check out my Slide Show!

We went to Navarre Beach this summer. The girls had never seen the ocean so they were so excited. It was a great week - most of the time we did not know what day of the week or what time it was. Most of us got stung by jellyfish, but other than that all we did was either play in the sand/ocean or go to the poos at our condo.
We went with my best friend from Ark. Becky W.

Here it is ---- Our new RV!! Chad and I decided to buy an rv for our family this summer. We have taken it camping and to Florida and we plan to do much more traveling with it. As we traveled, we were able to eat on the go. We had many sandwiches on this trip.
We are planning on going to Devils Den for Fall Break this year and take the girls into the cave. I, of course, will be waiting from them at the entrance.

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!
