Erin turns 7!!!
We celebrated Erin's birthday this weekend! She turned 7 on Saturday and it was great fun! We invited the Poole's, Grandma,and Sarah over to celebrate with us and I think it was a great success! We gave her gifts to her early on in the day so she could ride her new bike- the story behind the bike is she has been riding her first bike for the past two years. To say that she has outgrown the bike is an understatement! Bill came in to ask me what I thought about getting her a new one for her birthday. I asked what was wrong with hers and he said "you haven't seen her on it lately have you?" It looked like a grown person riding a mini-bike! She needed a new one, so that is what we got her. We put it in Grandma's garage and told her that she had a really nice gift coming- I kept calling it a "bum bum bummmm"...Once she opened her smaller gifts- a new church outfit, pop and candy from William, a Barbie and outfit from Tyler, and molding foam, a stuffed chicken, and temp tatoos from Steph, she asked where her big gift was at. We said that's it! She looked like she wanted to cry, but sucked it up and said "oh okay- thank you everyone" Then she went to check out everything she got- still a little sad! Bill went into the kitchen to "get a drink" and came out with her bike- he told her to pick up some paper off the floor and when she turned around there was her new bike! She said "YOU GOT ME A BIG GIRL'S BIKE- NO WAY!!!" It was classic! Her face was so funny! She rode it for the rest of the day every chance she got! What great day!

Prom Time!!!
It is Prom Time and Both Steph and Tyler were able to go this year- although they went to different proms on different weekends. Steph went as a server for the annual pre-prom dinner that Thomas High School puts on every year. The Sophmores are voted in by upper classmen and only a handful are invited- she was one of them! She went with a bunch of friends and had a great time! She put on her dress for me so I could take some pictures before getting dressed to serve the dinner- it is a georgeous dress and she looked stunning in it- like a life size Barbie Doll! After the dinner, she changed there at the school into her dress. She was out until 7:00 am! The afterparty was at the Maize-a corn field that some farmer turns into a walk through maize every year- She said it was freezing!! But she had a great time anyway!
Tyler went to prom with a young woman from church- her name is Eva Zitterkob. She is a Junior this year. They are just really good friends- no, not dating- They looked amazing! When we went to choose the tux, we figured that the burgundy tie and vest looked the best with her dress and we were right on the money! Her corsage was just right and she made his boutineer for him out of fabric from her dress! They made such a good looking couple! And they put up with three different mom's and a sister; me, Jeri (Eva's mom), Dawn (my friend's home that we invaded for the event- thank you so much Dawn!), and Steph- taking pictures! Then we went to the event and watched them enter on an elaborate red carpet compete with red carpet, lighted arches, valet parking, and announcements on arrival! It was so cool! Ty said he had a great time and he is currently sleeping it off as I type! I hope you enjoy the pictures- it was fun taking them!

This past week
What a busy few days!!!
I went to the track meet this past week- Thomas placed third. It was an entertainingly good afternoon. Tyler did the long jump, ran the100, the 400, the 400 relay, and 1600 relay. He did well considering he ran against seniors and he is only a junior.
Ryan- my brother- came here on Saturday. We spent good quality time together. We had many, many visitors including Sara- a girl I hope to be something serious for Ry in the future. As my grandmother would say- "she is our kinda people!" They are the ones on the trampoline.
On Saturday morning, our boxer had her puppies- oh they were so cute and tiny- she only had two, but we had hopes that she would do well with them. No such luck. The only thing I can figure is she moved them one too many times and didn't feed them properly. This was her first liter. Sadly, we buried the last one this afternoon.
We went to OKC today- my father-in-law went into surgery and Bill stayed there at the hospital while I took Ry to take care of the business that he had to take care of this morning. My father-in-law pulled threw just fine- we are so relieved! It was wonderful to see him full of color and awake when we walked into the hospital this afternoon.
It was a full weekend with lots to look forward to in the coming weeks!
Jayden and our visit
While we were in the city today, we were able to spend some time with my nephew Jayden! What a doll! He is 2 1/2 and he is a ball of energy!. He sang "Happy Birthday". "Itsy Bitsy Spider", and "A,B,C's" to us. He talked to Grandma on the phone and told her all about the motorcycle that he saw down the street. He is getting so big now! Ryan was able to spend some time with him, which is great since he lives so far away. I am glad that me and Steph were able to be a part of this. By the way, Steph taught Jayden to take pictures with her camera- the last two in the montage are his handi work!! We had a great time!!
