Silly Girls

I don't know these silly girls, but I've been told it's Brooke, her friend Harlea, Kelly and Hailey.



Yep, thanks to Hailey they came up with some creative ways to have fun with medical tape.

Roses are Red

I'm not real sure what to think about this, but a 6th grade boy at Hailey's school made her this rose out of duct tape. The tape it wrapped around a writing pen. He called her out of class to her locker to give it to her.
Is he talented...you bet!
Is he a secret admirer...not sure!

Spring Pictures

I waited too long to take pictures in the flowers this Spring; therefore, they weren't as vibrant as when they first popped out. But...still worth posting!
Bluebonnets
I found these flowers in downtown Montgomery. I'm not sure what kind they are, but they sure were pretty.

Four Generations

This picture represents four generations - a mixture of several families.
Back Row: Gunter, Jan, Charlotte, Great Aunt Cecile, Uncle Darrell, Aunt Delores
Middle Row: Debbie, Me
Front Row: Hailey, Brooke, Kelly
It wasn't planned. We stopped by my uncle's house to visit with Gunter and Jan who are here from Germany visiting. My Great Aunt Cecile (my maternal grandmother's baby sister and last living sibling) asked how many generations were present. Four = picture time!

Beauty and the Beast

Brooke and I had a special night out last Friday. We went with two of her friends and their Mom to see Beauty and the Beast at Conroe High School. It was an excellent youth production! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more...the parents or the girls.

Brooke, Harlea and Grace @ McDonald's before the play. What were we thinking when we decided to let the girls pick our dinner destination??

They loved the production and really enjoyed getting autographs and pictures after the play.

Catching Up

I've got some catching up to do here on the blog...ready, set, go!

Going to the Fair

Last year we had the opportunity to attend the Montgomery County Fair & Rodeo, thanks to Brooke. She was one of several winners of a coloring contest through The Conroe Courier, a local newspaper.
This year we get to go again, thanks to Kelly. She called Hailey and me last week at the hospital to give us the good news. She was so excited and giggling to the point of being hard to understand. If I were my friend Cari, I would have a picture to post of the sheet she colored, but instead all I have are these tickets.
I can share with you that Brooke colored her sheet first. When Kelly got ready to color hers, she took Brooke's sheet and copied every color exactly. Needless to say, Brooke was not happy that Kelly was copying her. In case you have forgotten, kids like to copy, but hate to be copied.
We're looking forward to attending the fair next week!
Thanks Kelly for coloring your very best!
