Happy 8th Birthday Miss K!

So, Miss K spent the night with us the night before the big party. Her birthday is the 21st, but the party was at our house on the 28th. I forget why....ANYWAY. I'm outside at 8:00 in the morning in my robe and latte pajamas drinking a cup of coffee, reading my Sunday paper, generally minding my own business, and she comes outside, fully dressed and ready for her day. And she says to me, "HEY! Shouldn't you be getting ready for my party!?!" Hum. Isn't that Mommy's job? YES! She kills me.

Frisco BBQ Festival

We took Zach and April and Family to the Frisco BBQ Festival last weekend. It is in downtown Frisco up in the mountains and Main Street is LINED with tents of bar-b-que vendors from all over the country. You buy tickets and eat your way down the street and waddle back to your car. April loved the fried potato slices (homemade potato chips) Yummy!


Is there really anything better than cotton candy?


Alex and I loved the roasted corn the best. I could have eaten two of these things!

Trekkie Fever

Unknown to most of my friends, I am a total Trekkie. I have always and will always love anything Star Trek. So you must know that I was thrilled that they were making a Prequel. I was hoping it would be better than some have been (Star Wars 1,2 & 3 stunk...) I was NOT disappointed. We ponied up the cash ($30!!!) and went to the IMAX showing one early Tuesday morning (you can do that when you aren't working...) and I must say it was FANTASTIC! All I have to say to you is, "Live long and prosper!"

GG and Garrett

I Love my boys!

Bolder Boulder

Okay, I did it again! I participated in the annual Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day (then I cooked a BBQ for 12 people with Aprils help, but let's not get diverted...)I ran a little more than normal and did the 6.2 mile race in 1 hour and 36 minutes. No breaking of land speed records here, but I finished and didn't die so that's saying something!

Garrett the Dancer

So Garrett, being the youngest of the three, cannot miss out on anything the sisters got to do, including dance class on Friday mornings in the 3-4 year old class with Miss Debbie. It is a special time for he and G.G. and he looks forward to it every week. Only one problem. He is more of a linebacker than he is a dancer.

And this was Dance Sharing Day! For those of you who don't know, that's a fake dance recital for those who aren't really dancing....

He has found that he has a certain talent for getting upside down with ease and he shows it off as often as possible! Can you spell Barishnikoff??? (I can't!)

I know...I'm a Slacker...

So, after some chastising from my many fans, I'll try to update you on the events of the last couple of months. HEY! It's tough looking for a job every day drinking coffee in my robe and slippers until 11:59! Latte anyone?

Kate's Graduation

Here are Kate and Ryan. He looks tired because he is in residency at Baltimore General to be a BRAIN SURGEON! Boy has he hooked up with the right family! He'll be busy for years.....They now reside in Baltimore and are busily planning the big Fort Morgan Wedding of the Year in October! My little cousin has now graduated from college with a Masters Degree! Wow! I sure feel old. Here we are at her graduation party in late May.
