First Day of School 8-11-08

The First Day of School, wow i can hardly believe Matthew is a 10th grader and the girls 8th. Next year all my children will be in High School. :-(?

Can you say opps...

Well, Matthew learned a hard lesson this morning. Will told him to let the tailgate down and move the truck because he had unhooked the trailer. And Matthew forgot to do just one little (very important) thing first. Whaaaaa. He said "Will told me I just forgot dad". The guys tried to straightened it out but it bent the latch so Alan said it was junk now. Matt has to look at the salvage for a new one. Everyone had a good laugh at Matt's expense, even the dog had to watch! Oh, isn't it fun being 15!

Home again

Well we are home from our latest 4 wheeling trip to Mena Arkansas. we had a great time with my Aunt Tina & Uncle Mike and Raymond & Cindy Couch. We had 3 days of fun in the sun and dust. And I am very thankful for our new goggles that keep the dust out of our eyes but we do look like a gang of bandits with our goggles and handkerchiefs over our faces. The middle picture is of a people trap that looks like a Huge mouse trap with a gas can as bait. We all got a good laugh from that one. We finally found Little Missouri Falls, and we swam and let the falls give us nice aqua massages for free. I think that is what it must feel like in the mall when you lay down in one of those machines. It was really pretty and the water was so clear and cold, it was really relaxing. Oh just writing this post makes me want to go back right now... I cant wait. :-)

Shelby & Amanda #14

Can you believe it Shelby & Amanda have turned 14, wow it seems like yesterday they were just my little baby girls and now they are my teenage girls. The top pic is their at home birthday cake and then the bottom three are at church. I found letter candles and they looked so cute atop all thoes colorful cupcakes.

ok here are the pictures for the previous post.

Mother's Day 2008 with my mom @ Olive Garden

This is the day i got my new Sony Cyber Shot camera. We had dinnner with my mom @ Olive Garden then took some quick outside shots to try out the new camera. The one of Will walking Alan across the street is because Will said "Come on let me be a boy scout and walk an old man accross the road." too funny! Then on the drive home Amanda decides she will mess around and try out my new camera and the last two are of my little dog CoCo giving me "The Stink Eye" i dont think she likes having her picture taken. Oh well. i lots more to post but dont have time right now this is just my beginning.

Happy Birthdays

Today was Alan's mom Eula's 70th birthday (I can only put that here because Eula doesn't have a computer and I know she wont see that I posted her age) and his niece-in-law Robins (28th again). We spent the day @ Honor Heights Park in Muskogee enjoying a birthday picnic with family and a few friends. Coby & Robin's girls Jacy & Kelci are really growing and doing so many cute things. Like when Kelci (3) used her little personal fan and held it in front of her mouth that was open as wide as she could get it and then told me she was being a balloon, and the Jacy (5) supriesed us with a reciting of the Pledge of Alegance on flag day. The best part of today was watching Matt give Grandma Eula a ride in the big swan on the pond at the park.

WOW Can you believe it?

WOW can you believe it? #1 is turning 21 on the 9th and #2 is turning 15 on the 1st of March? How time flies when you are having a blast! It really seems just like yesterday that my boys were born and now they are just growing up too fast. Thank you Father God for blessing our lives with these children.
