YeeHaw!!

Well, our annual family reunion on my husbands side is coming up for the Thanksgiving holiday and we are all meeting in Broken Bow, OK. Last year was a blast! We each rent a cabin for our "little family" to stay in and then all get together and do stuff during the day and have camp fires at night. We're gonna be doing a family photo this year that will be in black and white. I love black and white pictures. We're all gonna have black tops on and jeans. I'm so excited I could just about start packing now!! Of course I had to get the boots ahead of time so I can wear em' in by the time we go. It's my early Christmas gift from the G-man. I guess he'll see them in the morning. I got them late today, so I'll let him know what he got me tomorrow.

A day at the park

Family pics.... mushy crap and all that!

She can kick ass with a bat in her hand!

This is on the field at Gary's school. He had Saturday duty, so we took advantage of practicing her form. She's gonna be a mean one up at bat!

New pics... these are easier than trying to type stuff

Katie is the little one and she's Annalese's dog. The big brown bear is mine. He's Elvis and he's another one of the dogs out there that think their human. Oh, and yes... those are sweatshirts, jeans, and stuff you wear when it's FALL!!! Ha ha you Arizonans.

Baby Grace when she was born

Here we have a very proud G-ma holding Ms. Grace. Then there's my husband who looks so proud that you'd think he
just gave birth to her.
He wants another one besides our 8 year old girl, but I don't see that happening unless he carries it to term!!!
If he can figure out how to do that, I'm all for it.

Gotta love the smile with the missing tooth!

The pictures of Annalese and Daddy at the table is when we were in Arizona and went to the same Mexican food restraunt every Saturday. We've always been creatures of habbit and you could tell when it was Saturday around our house. Then we have the picture of Annalese in the kitchen of our house in Maricopa, AZ. Then the picture of her and the puppy.... the puppy was only with our family for about a month. She (Ariel) ran away with our bigger dog (Elvis). Elvis came back to me (his mommy), but the little one must've gotten taken. She was a border collie and around those parts, people used them around their ranches for cows and such. Very sad for her, but we got her a new puppy here in Texas.

A lot of time spent camping

We did lots of camping for a while there. We needed an excuse to get out of the heat in the valley! Made for a lot of great memories too.

More pictures...

I'm holding my sweet little great niece Grace. She's a great baby. Then the other two pics are of Gary and I in front of the new school he works at. It's beautiful. He's a Science and P.E. teacher who also coaches girls basketball. Joke's on him right?!?!

Camping in Christopher Creek Arizona

I'm not in these since I was taking the pictures. This is Mom and Dad and my sweet daughter. Also, my husband. The weather was perfect and we were lovin' it.

Some more family pics

This is my husband Gary on the right, and our nephew Lane on the left with Annalese in the middle.





This is our neice Ashley and
hubby Lane with sweet baby
Grace.

Me before an interview

Didn't take the job I interviewed for. It ended up being a desk job and that's not my cup o' tea. Got a good suit out of it though.

4th of July and Getting pretty

Talk about cute!

The puppy's name is Katie. She is a lot bigger now so I need to update the picture.

Happiness is.......

My baby is growing up!!
