Just For Mom

ok so this post is really just for Mom since she couldn't see me off to my first day of work....

Here Mommy, this is the only picture I got before my camera died. I hope you all are having fun!! LOVE YOU!!

To everyone else.... yes my room does look like that....

Ashley

Monticello

So for our Memorial Day activities we went to Monticello and had an amazing time, then we met up with Frank's sister and brother-in-law, Maria and Bob, and had lunch with them. Abby and Zach didn't know that Aunt Maria and Uncle Bob were coming so it was a fun surprise... here are some random pictures from the day.


Here are some beautiful flowers at the Gardens of Monticello, I am amazed at the beauty of God's creation. Oh and don't ask me the names of any of these, just ask Mom, she will know....

Abby and I got to try on some dresses in the colonial shop, and while we were putting the dresses on Aunt Maria came in so we had to take pictures! Don't you love how wonderfully my tennis shoes go with my dress?


And then Zach and Russell found "the Glasses." I'm sorry to say but they just look pretty ridiculous to me, but it will be fun to make fun of them later in life...

Anyways, that was our fun filled day, and as soon as Mom gives me her camera I will show some more pictures....

Ashley

Zach gets into his ribs!

I found a great special at the Dahlgren commissary for bar-b-que ribs and it is considerably cheaper than Famous Daves. Not quite as good but we pretend! Anyway, as you can see this was before Zach's wrist break but he definitely loves his ribs!

Hey Everyone

So I am coming home in 26 days! I can't wait to see you all!

Zach's First and Hopefully Last Broken Bone!!

While reseeding the front yard this afternoon, Zach decided to play basketball with the boys next door and the next thing I know, we are headed to ER with a floppy wrist. Yep, it was broken. Bright red, razorback red cast will come next week with a good friend going to draw a nice razorback on it for Zach!! Thanks, Joe!!

Really Big Shark in Panama City

Yep, it was a big one!

Dinner with Chrissy

One of our "favoritist" girls to be with at Pensacola besides Ashley is Chrissy Bowman. We had the pleasure of eating with her while we were there. I always love her smile!

Future Blue Angels

Zach and Abby, maybe one of them will be a Blue Angel. We missed them practicing by one day. RATS!!

Naval Museum at Pensacola Naval Base

We had a great time at the Naval Museum. Next time we will leave Frank there for a week. He was in Navy heaven!

Trip to Pensacola March 2008

Carpal Tunnel fun after 2 1/2 weeks

Yippee, stitches are out and I'm sewing again. It's slow but hey! I'm starting to think I might recommend the surgery now!

It's Official!!

Finally!!! Chris flew down to Tampa, FL to surprise Kristen while she was doing some schools for work. He wanted it to be a romantic time on the beach but I guess it was pretty cold that evening! They were freezing on the beach trying to stay warm with the towel! So a November wedding is in the works! My new almost daughter..Kristen French.

Yay! for Abby

Abby's oldest brother Chris threatened to tie a string from Abby's tooth to the back of his motorcycle if she didn't pull her 2nd tooth by Friday. No such luck! Abby bravely pulled it during math this morning!

Tony the Tiger and Moe

For those of you who haven't heard that I'm turning into the cat lady, well.....
I felt sorry for our cat we got a year ago named Moe. I thought he needed a friend. So before Ashley left for college 2nd semester we adopted Tony the Tiger. It was not pretty. The kids got a picture of them, they thought, being friends. I say, Moe is giving Tony a right jab to the jaw with his back foot but I'll let you all decide! They are getting along better but I think I'm out of the cat business for now!

Zach's basketball season

Zach had a great basketball season this year. He is a real go-getter, although with Mom, Dad and big brother hollering at him, I'm surprised he can play! Hey! At 49, I'm happy I can still holler that loud from the bench! Smart passes, come on defense!

Carpal Tunnel Fun after 1 week!

Ouch! Not feeling much better! I think I may have an idea what catching a 90 mph baseball feels like with no glove! But I am typing! AND, I appliqued one leaf on my quilt. Ok, so only 492 more leaves to go...but it's a start!

Lunar Eclipse

One good thing about homeschooling is you can have a science lesson at 10 pm. Enjoy a picture from our "class!"

Carpal Tunnel fun

OK, you too can have this beautiful hand accessory if you choose to have carpal tunnel surgery! Ouch!

Actually, with pain pills and ice bags it really isn't so bad! But can I quilt again? That's the question!

Mike Huckabee for President 2008 Rally

Wow! The turnout for the rally was amazing. Especially in a place that I never heard of, Weyers Cave, VA. It's beautiful but difficult to get to! We Huckabites filled up an entire airplane hangar. It was great! Zach, Abby and I were interviewed on one of the local TV stations. Go figure! I was the only one to wear my Hog Hat and coat!! Perhaps we stood out???
