They Are Here - Little Robin Red Breasts

But, they are not so little..........

I just had to post one more time today.

This snow is so unbelievable....I keep looking
out the windows and doors.
At different times today there have been these
birds hovering next to the brick wall.
The robins look bewildered....so am I.
I heard on the radio recently about the signs of spring,
and how when the robins start to appear....spring is here.
If robins think, and I am sure David would say, "NO,
they do not", I believe they would be saying...
"Man, what have we gotten ourselves in to"?
"Thought it was spring here....where are the worms" ?
"Why does that lady keep snapping that light through
the window at us" ?
"Burr, cold and hungry"

Spring Break 2010

These three helped make the cookies.
We always make chocolate chip cookies!
We probably have more pictures of kids
eating chocolate chip cookies than any
other photos.
Josh got home from his church field trip
in time to get in on the Gambino's  pizza.
And, of course we had brownies later in the week.

I guess Gillan and Nathan were having a stare down.
Gillan requested a tour of Webbers Falls, so
we were gone about 15 minutes...just joking,
but, really it does not take long to see the place.

Needless to say, the school grounds and the
local park were the highlights...only ones.
Every kid should get to sit on the "wall".
And, below is the memorial to the 
victims of the I-40 Arkansas River bridge collapse.
It is still so sad to think about that horrible 
accident and loss of those people.

The following pictures were all taken at
Honor Heights Park after lunch at Braums.
This was a great afternoon trip with sunshine.  
Little did we know that the next two days
would bring a winter blizzard in the spring.

Katie took this picture of Gracie, and
I love, love, love it!



We did many things this week: visited Papa,
rode/drove the Kubota; jumped on hay bales;
helped grandpa fix the trampoline, and then 
jumped on it, plus MORE.
We had a great week.....I love my grandkids
and I enjoyed every minute of their visit.
Thanks kids...you complete my life.  You are the
frosting on the cake.  The Lord has blessed me
with much.

Spring, 2010 - Really?

Just a couple of pictures for the future...
to remember when it snowed and snowed
some more on this 2nd day of Spring,
March 21, 2010.
This was my first look out the east, garage door
very early this morning....amazing snow flakes.
Look how neatly the snow shaped itself
on the little table and swing....awesome!
Drifts up on the front entry porch.
This is Oklahoma people...we don't expect this
in the spring.

First Haircut

Nathan's hair curls with a little help, 
but recently the top has grown so much
the weight of it has straightened his hair.
Katie decided it was time for a trim.
We knew that the trim could cause the curl
to leave or help it curl easier.
Yikes, I got to do the honors of cutting.

Baby, Momma, and Grandma 
are pleased with the results.


Cute or What?

Cool Baby Dude

Pesky Little Brother

The older boys were trying to watch a movie or cartoon,
and Nathan wanted Josh's attention.
You can see how gently Josh tried to get him out of the way.
Sorry folks, my camera still croaks.
Some day I am going to get a new one....maybe.

Brother Kenny

Katie took this picture of me and my brother Kenny.
I know, I know....you didn't know I had a brother.
Well, I do!
This was taken at Southeast Baptist Church
and if you look right over Kenny's right shoulder
you will get a glimpse of Larry Isom and Wilma (used to be) Johnson.
We have found several family members as well as long
time friends at Southeast.
If you are looking for a church home,  come join us.
There is an awesome fellowship there.
