IN CASE YOU MISSED THE SMILE......


Ann and I made one of our few trips to town together and got the kiddos some trees for a housewarming gift... a couple of trees for their front yard... a silver leaf maple that is beautiful in the fall... and a red bud that is beautiful in the spring... and Mom and Jake planted them, while I struggled with the hardest job of all, running the camera... sigh... I liked to never completed my task. It was too hard and I was hot and tired and sweaty and pooped... man, did it wear me out.. oh.... OH... right ... it's not about me... darn it.. haha...
they did good...
enjoy the day.... and smile.. it might be the one that matters most in your whole life...

It really was Trisha's birthday ... but Madison seems to be dreaming...

Posted by Picasa

nothing left of the fire, but smoke.... and Madison's mind making up images in it...

Posted by Picasa

Almost ... almost gone... the fire... the fire... not the cake.. but if Missy reads this... it was AWESOME... lots of Choclate, etc...

It was almost time... Phillip did the honors of lightning the 21 candles...


the boys were standing by to put out the fire, just in case, and we almost called our good friend, Craig, who is on the Perkins Fire Dept. to stand by too, but then Madison went to work and puff... the flames were gone... didn't need 'no stinkin' firemen'... haha.. .just Madison!!!

Madison is anxious... and Trisha is thinking... well, you fill in the blanks... haha..

Ms. Maddy's hair tickling Trisha's noise... haha..

Interesting weekend.....

We had an interesting weekend, to say the least...
We kept Madison and Andrew while Paul and Heather enjoyed some R&R in OKC... The kids arrived about noon... and it was ON after that.... haha.. however, Andrew loves his games, be it computer or xbox or whatever.... and Madison loves to eat, and eat, and eat, and play and did I mention eat... hahaha..... she is a hoot. We made it all the way till about noon Sunday, and then Andrew did not want to leave... well, sort of, as soon as he thought about it some more.. he was ok with that... had enough of Grandma and Grandpa.... Then we got ready for Trisha's 21st Bday party.... that evening... Grandma wanted to make some homemade ice cream and a special cake her and Trisha found... in a recipe book, which was Ann's Cousin Connie's favorite cake... I forget the name of it.. but will put a 'nice' photo of it online later... anyway, we all celebrated Trisha's Birthday, and I bet to the person, we all thought about when we had our own 21st Birthday... haha.... for this writer, it was about the time dirt was invented..
so as you might guess... we had a ball. Missed Jonathan and family, they could not make it do to other commitments... but the rest of us enjoyed being a family... and watching us grow... we do have a new addition on the way... but I don't know if I can write about it yet, so will have to find out and maybe when we post next, we can spill the news... hahaha...

See Ann, I didn't spill it ...... not yet anyway... haha...

have a great day... if you look at the photos below... be sure to scroll down to the bottom and read up... to get the 'whole' story...

enjoy!!

Three... case in point... just like her ...... ophs.... shouldn't go there.. haha.... love you H...
