Quick Picture Update

I realized that it has been a few weeks since my last post, so here is a quick update!

I went to Vegas with my sisters and mom. We ate, ran-a vacation wouldn't be a vacation if Merrilee didn't encourage us to run, shopped, and walked a lot. We had a great time together. It was our first sister's trip and I hope it isn't the last!
Robbie participated in the Pinewood Derby. He won an award for most original design which is a little funny because we purchased a precut kit from Michaels. Thanks Anna for the great suggestion.

This week James and his friend from OK spent three days building this fabulous tree house ten feet up in our walnut tree. As you can see it is still a work in progress.

Happy Birthday Robbie!

Wow! Can you believe this handsome, young dude is ten!! Happy, happy birthday!

Javiar the Waiter in the Too small tux!

Here is a picture of her amazing hair and of course Javiar the waiter!

Sweethearts

Kenzie went to Sweethearts tonight! We had dinner here and fed them a seven or several course meal, including shrimp, french onion soup, salad, tri-tip, potatoes, beans, and ice cream. I even pulled out my crystal for the occasion. I have had my crystal since before I was married, but I still had to take the stickers off. She looked beautiful! She bought her dress and grandma hemmed it for her. A friend did her make-up and one of my friends did her hair. Austin played the waiter, Javiar. He wore his tux and did an awesome job waiting on them, even though his tux is a bit too small!

Flours Anyone Again?

Jamie and Dave stayed with us over Martin Luther King Jr, Day and we played the famous flour game again. It turned out to be flour wars with some of the players!
