Celebrate Good Times

As you can tell from the picture, William had a great start to baseball season! They won a very exciting game tonight 7-6. Way to go, Cardinals!!!

15 Month Portraits

Here are a few pictures from the photo shoot today. Catherine is wearing Great Nana Green's purple necklace and holding Great Nanny Gammon's ring.
She is reaching for Great Nana Green's bracelet.

The jewelry kept her very busy during the photo shoot!

Robbers Cave State Park

We went to Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma this past week. My parents took me here every year as a kid. It is a beautiful place!
We were so excited that Nana and Papa were able to join us.
The kids had so much fun hiking, fishing and riding canoe/paddle boats. They also went to a couple of kid classes at the Nature Center.

They liked hanging by the lake feeding fish, playing at the park and eating snow cones! We also enjoyed a hayride on our last evening together.

Above picture is outside our cabin making s'mores. Robbers Cave does not have wireless internet!! It was nice but kinda weird not being "connected."

Spring Break 2011

Yay, It's Spring Break! We took the kids to the zoo this afternoon and we are looking forward to a fun week together.
William liked the albino alligator.

Sarah feeding a giraffe!

Catherine loved the goats. She called everything a "kitty."

Elizabeth and a big kitty!

The Morning After

Sarah had "the best slumber party ever." Eric checked on them at 3am and they were all still awake! I needed a blow horn this morning. They all looked at me like I had four heads when I told them it was time to wake up!

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Sarah's 9th Birthday last night! She did not want a cake. Instead she wanted Great Nana's chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. So I made her a cookie cake using the recipe. It was so yummy!
We let the kids choose what they want for dinner on their birthdays. Sarah chose Steak-n-Shake. We did not know you get a free shake on your birthday. Any shake any size! Sarah was so happy to not have to get a kid size shake. Dr. Pepper on top of that. We are terrible parents.

Catherine wanting to help Sarah with all her presents. Sarah is having a slumber party on Saturday night. Catherine will love a house full of 9 year olds. Eric and William not so much. I think they are trying to plan an escape.
