Round and Round we go!!!

Round 1: There is always fun memories to be had at the annual family camp out. My kids are most happy when they are camping. Mom is most happy when she can camp and them go home and sleep in her cozy bed!!!

This was my favorite skit: You know, the old time machine skit.

Mark went in the time machine

And Mark came out of the time machine. There's nothing like a grown man in a diaper with a hair bow in his hair.






I know this pic is blurry, but I love it anyway. Stephen and Grace were inseperable! Gracie was so sad to say goodbye to Stephen the next day. She cried and cried. She was devastated at the idea of only getting to see him once a year at the family camp out.

Round 2: We have really been doing a whole lot of nothin' around here.

This is Dad getting pampered at home. Gracie was referring to him as "Your Highness". It was complete with lotion being rubbed on Matt's hands and feet, a fan, and some apples. Every detail was perfect even down to the blanket fluffing!



Round 3: Gracie was so excited that school was closed because of Swine Flu! They decided to celebrate by dancing in the Texas rain.



Round 4: Grandam T and Papa J, this one's for you!

This is the reaction I got when I told Ella she couldn't open her box until her birthday party. If there was sound on this picture your speakers would be sure to blow.



That battle was not worth fighting. Come to think of it, there are many battles not worth fighting when Ella starts to scream!




She is a happy girl when she gets her way!!!
