Spring Break

We didn't do alot on spring break, but Kayla and I had a really nice visit with Eric, Julie and Claire, Megan and Burl. We spent the first part of the week with Eric, Julie and Claire and had a great time playing with baby Claire. She has grown so much. She has the most precious personality and seems to be such a happy little girl pretty much most of the time. She does love her Daddy and Mommy...everytime one of them would walk into the room or talk to her she would just smile real big. Of course I got tons of kisses and hugs. Kayla played in the floor with her all the time. We then went and stayed with Megan and Burl (and Thena). We really had a nice time with them. We went shopping and out to eat. 2 of my favorite things to do.....Kyle and rode up with us and he went a stayed with his Mom and little Sister. I know he really enjoyed seeing them. Dennis, well Dennis stayed home and worked. Then on Sunday, Dennis brought Dad up to Houston and we all went to Claire's Dedication at their Church. Larry came also. Julie's parent's and her brother and his wife were all there. After church we all went over to Eric and Julie's and had lunch together. It was really nice. Well, that is pretty much the whole week in a nutshell. Now back to the rat race.

All Smiles

Here is the latest picture of Claire. Hopefully I will get to see her soon. She is just growing with leaps and bounds. It's hard to believe that she will be 6 months old in March.

Claire is really growing fast

Well, Claire is 4 months old now and she is doing really well. She has really good coordination and loves to play with her toys. She also now rolls over and has her first tooth poking through. Julie is now staying home with Claire. I know that Eric, Julie and Claire are glad that she can be home with her. I can't wait to see Claire. I miss her alot. I told Julie that I was going to have to make a trip there to visit. Here is one of Claire's Christmas pictures.

Trip to Oklahoma

Kayla, Dad, Elaine and myself drove to Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago to go to my Aunt Deredia's funeral. It was a really nice funeral. Seeing pictures of Mom with her family was really hard. I think Aunt Deredia's funeral brought back alot of memories when Mom died. Larry flew into Tulsa and Kevin picked him up. I was really glad he was there. It was nice seeing everyone, just not under the circumstances.

Christmas 2010

Christmas was wonderful. Everyone was here and the food was good. I enjoyed having everyone home and just hanging out with them. I loved spending time with Claire. Hopefully everyone had a great time and liked all their gifts. I know I did.

MiMi's smiling Angel...

Here is another picture of Claire. She is smiling and hamming it up for her Mommy so she can take her picture.

Little Claire

Here is the latest picture of Claire. She is really becoming Miss Personality....

Thanksgiving is Almost Here

Thanksgiving is fast approaching. We will be doing Thanksgiving Dinner this year. I think everyone is going to be here. Of course we all can't wait for Baby Claire to come see us. (Yes, Eric and Julie we are glad to see you too!!!) Megan and Burl will also be here. I'm going to be happy to see them, they haven't been home in a while. Kayla and Kyle will both be home this year for Thanksgiving. Dennis is frying the turkey. MMMMMM!!!!! It was really good last year. I just hope the rest of the meal will be as good. Hopefully I will have some pictures to post of Thanksgiving.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Play

The High School Theater dept. put on a play this past weekend. Kayla worked as part of the stage and tech crew. She worked in make-up and wardrobe and also props. They worked long and hard for several weeks. It was really good. Here are a couple of pics of Kayla and some of her friends that were in the play or also did stage and tech.

Great Grandparents

I took Dad and Elaine to see Claire for the first time. Of course, they thought she was precious. Claire was really hamming it up for us with the smiles. She is developing such the little personality. Of course I had to hold and love on her every minute she was awake.
