R's creativity

R is always lining his cars up nice and neat and making loads for his tractors, and he is always very proud of his creations. This day he came running in to where I was saying "Mama, come look at this BIG load"! Of course, there is plenty of frustration when the tractor buckets give way to all the weight and drop the load!

This one's for Uncle Kenny!

We were flipping through the channels one night, and caught some motocross action. R LOVED it!!! Thought this would make you proud, Uncle Kenny!!

A's First Military Ball

R had an ROTC ball that he had to attend, and since we didn't have a babysitter, he took A instead of me. She enjoyed getting all dressed up, and she got to meet the former Miss USA, who sang the national anthem at the ball. She is a student at the college where R works, and A thought that was just wonderful!!! We had concerns about her getting bored sitting through the speaker, but she did great!! Everyone there was talking about how good she was! It's nice when you can take your children out in public and they know how to act...Lord knows they don't always act that way at home!!

PaPa Turns 60!!!!

Mom & Dad came down last month to watch the kids so R and I could go to a concert, and it just happened to be Dad's birthday! The girls and I made a cake, and attempted to light 60 candles on the cake. By the time we had them all lit, some of them were melting onto the cake! Moral of the story...60 candles is A LOT of candles for one cake!! Thanks for spending your birthday with us PaPa!!!!
