Satute to Adam

Adam with Grandpa and Grandma

We had a farewell super for Adam. He leaves on

Sunday for North Carolina (or South can't remember

for sure) He is really excited and ready. His

family not so much. He has make a complete

turn around with his life and we are all very proud

of him.

This is Adam with his cammo cake and grenade
balloons.

A shot of his family.

Dad, sis, niece and mom.

This is one set of grandparents. Larry and Mary Ann

Little Marley Rose

Meet Little Marley Rose another new member of our family. She is about 10 days old here and cute as a button. She was so wide awake for our visit and did all the things new babies do, ate, slept,burped and even cried a minute. We went out to eat and so was sooo good. Slept and let momma and daddy eat in peace. Hope they enjoyed it cause that won't last long.

Here is great grandma Connie with her. She doesn't look proud at all does she?

This is a mural Grandma Angie (gee, Angie is a grandma?) painted on the nursery wall. I didn't know she could do that.

Haylee Love's shower

Meet one of the newest members of the family. Little Haylee Love. She even smiled for her party

This is one of the crazy games Connie came up with. It's called multitasking. Can you hold the baby, talk on the phone and hang up clothes at the same time? Angie was the winner at 36 seconds. Katlin had never hung up clothes before but she did pretty good. Another game was My water Broke. Little inch long plastic babies were frozen in an ice cube and the first one to get their baby free shouts my water broke.

This is the quilt I made Haylee. It is called "Whoa Baby".

This is Tiffany with the wall hanging Katlin gave her.

Little Haylee got lots of nice things.

What ever Mary is saying has Haylee spellbound.

Mary tried an new recipe for coffee cake and we think is it a winner. Double lemon. Yum! As always good food and good fun.

Easter 2010

This is Kyann dyeing her first Easter Egg. She was not impressed. She threw one egg on the floor and managed to turn both of her hands blue(it did wash off). Katlin did most of the work and I think our eggs turned out really pretty.

Katlin liked them so well she didn't want me to make deviled eggs out of them. I ended up letting her keep two to take home and show her mom.

This is Easter morning before church. Kyann is trying out a new Easter bonnet (Katlin's old cowboy hat) On her it looks cute.

Shane was the best Easter bunny ever. It was hard for the adults to find all the eggs but we had a laugh or two about it. Made it fun for Katlin.

Here is Kyann finding one.

Here is Katlin finding one of hers.

We had a fun week-end. Played at the park. The weather couldn't have been better.

She's Twelve

We celebrated Katlin's 12th birthday on Sunday. Cindy, Shane and Kyann came down from CR. Mary and Donnie, Lloyd and Jeannine , Connor John, Dan and I rounded out the group. She got to open her gifts first. She was happy about that. Teresa had sent her some OU stuff and she was excited about that. She and Dan are not Twinkies however!! She got many other gifts, movies, gift cards, CD's, a new bow for her fiddle, Jeannine made her a letter opener out of wood that was really neat. She got some money too and that is always good.

She got a sewing basket from Aunt Connie and she was thrilled. Her knitting fits in it and now the cats can't get to it.

Here she is with her three layer chocolate and strawberry cake with green frosting. It is what she requested along with strawberry Sneaky Pete Punch.

She was pretty windy and blew all the candles out on one try! After cake and homemade ice cream (thank you Mary) we played some music and then she and Connor went to the park for a while. Dan grilled some hot dogs and we had supper and played some more music. Think she had a good birthday and will celebrate again on Tuesday with her Mom and family.

Over The Top

Here we are taking off on Friday morning for Women of Faith Conference in Des Moines. It was a cloudy day but very sunny in the car. Nigel got us to our destination with no problems.

The day speakers were Patsy Clairmont and a man named Andy Andrews. Patsy is always good. No one had ever heard of Andy and when he came out on stage it was like watching a drop of water on a hot skillet. He was all over the stage and off too. I thought I wasn't going to like him but once he got started you were spell bound. Awesome Awesome speaker.He reminded us that everything we do in life matters.
We had Nigel take us to Dos Rios for supper. It is a Mexican restaurant downtown. I can highly recommend it. They made guacamole dip right at our table and to our specifications. It was very yummy as was all the food.

This is our motel room at Quality Inn. It was very nice and didn't smell like smoke this year as they had gone smoke free. We had a good hot breakfast in the morning.

This is a little video clip of Nicole C. Mullens and some of the kids she sponsors. The worship music was totally awesome. Mandsia was Amanda's fav. Sandy Patty still has it for me.
We stopped at the Five and Dinner on the way home for supper. Kathy stayed with Amanda and came home on Sunday. What s rejuvenating week end. I could use them more often.

She's Two

She is officially two now. These are her cakes. No your not seeing double, she had two parties. One for the ins and one for the outs. The cakes turned out really good and she liked them. The most important thing after all.

Here we are singing happy birthday to her. Daddy helped her blow out her candle.

Here she is with her wheelbarrow from Uncle Dan. She knew exactly what to do with it. Katlin had given her the gardening tools and she picked them up and put them in the wheelbarrow and took off. Think she has seen daddy do this a time or two.

This is a puzzle and a drum she got.

This is from Grandma. She needs something to work off all her energy. I had Dan and Shane put it together the night before and as you can see she found it early in the morning. Lost count of how many times she went up and down but a few. Wish you could have seen her smiles. We all had a good time and hope her second party went as well.
