o-k-l-a-h-o-m-a................

last weekend we went to oklahoma to see grandma billye, aunt jeanie,uncle scotty,melissa and ethan. we had lots of fun.

silliness

several posts about Boo lately, so Lil Earl posed specifically for this blog. he said "mom, take my picture for those people". he's a goober and really becoming quite the comedian. he tries to say lots of little one-liners but never gets them quite right, still pretty funny though. "who cut the tomatoes?" (cheese) or "enjoy your menu" (meal)..............lots more just can't remeber them at the moment. he keeps us laughing, just ask the grands...............

thanks melissa!

Melissa sent Boo this hannah montana purse that she made, she even put pockets on the inside. Boo, however, is using it to carry Nina because "she gets too heavy". whatever she uses it for, she loves it and THANKS MELISSA!!!!;)

greener pastures

alas, despite our valiant efforts, matilda elanor is no longer with us. the kids did well, a little sad but they knew when we got her she was sick and we were trying to "save her". when i told them at lunch i didn't think she would make it they said they wanted to say bye. so i took them outside and boo said"c-ya, matilda!!!!" and off she ran. bryce had more questions like "we don't have to cut her head off, do we?" (who knows where he heard that, i of course said, ew, gross) then he said "nice knowin ya matilda, we tried..." kids are kinda goobers but at least they aren't devastated. i told the boss man NO MORE COWS!!!!!!!

matilda elanor

benito's boss gave the kiddos a 2 day old calf named matilda elanor (we did not name her, david's teenage daughter did and the kids thought that name was funny). david thinks that we can keep it alive, you'd think that he would remeber our track record isn't very good when it comes to for legged friends.....i wonder if a cow can survive with three legs?;)anyways, we are gonna try to keep it alive until it can return to the pasture safely and not get eaten by coyotes. here's to hoping.........

mommy's great idea

well, we are trying to keep boo's ear wings cool and exciting because she's still getting used to them and she's the only one her age her in town that has them.so, i went to the world wide web in order to make her doll special like her. i found some on mytwinn.com but they were tan so i painted them purple and...............VOILA!!! now she's obsessed with her baby "NINA"(that's her new name X2 days, it was bella)now she wants to always dress like her and that's a problem because they only have 2 outfits that are alike. anyways, i rock for now!!!!;)

no more tonsils

boo got her tonsils out 2 weeks ago today. she had a rough week or so, but so glad it is behind us!!!! EVERY nurse/volunteer at cook's commented how pretty she was.....of course we already new that but we said thank you anyways! you have to admit she made that UGLY gown look GOOD!!!!!

happy birthday lil earl 7-12
