A day at the zoo

Presidents Day was beautiful. The sun was out, the air was crisp, and the kids were out of school. Harold was also off so he packed up the kids AND their friends and headed to the zoo. They had a great time. I wish I had taken the day off!

Kyle's Table Manors

If you have had dinner at our house you know that Kyle feels very stongly about NO ELBOWS ON THE TABLE WHILE WE ARE EATING. It is the one table rule that he watches for every time we eat. We were eating dinner one night and I couldn't believe it when I saw that he had his elbows right up there on the table. He was pretty embarrsed that he had been caught! The next thing we know he hikes his leg up on the table and starts munching away. When we ask him what the heck he thinks he is doing he simply states "feet on the table isn't one of our dinner rules" You can bet it is now!

Congraulations Nickie!

Here is Nickie and her freinds on February 10th getting thier Honor Role awards for having a 3.5 or higher GPA for the first semester. Great Job Nickie. We are so proud of her!

Jessie's Accident ~ July 16, 2011

So thankful Jessie and Amanda are ok.....This is why I lay awake at night and worry myself sick! A care rearended the white SUV who was stopped in the turn lane, the SUV did a 360 thought the middle of the intersection, Jessie was stopped waiting to make a right hand turn and the SUV slammed into her backwards. The car that caused the accicent kept going, sideswiped another care then hit a car headon in the oncoming trafic who was pushed into a truck behind her. Six cars in total,five of which most likley totaled and thankfuly only one person was taken to the hospital. Tell your kids every day how much you love them because you just never know when crazy stuff like this happens! I LOVE YOU JESSIE, NIKIE, KYLE and HAROLD!
