Megan's first ride on the school bus

On Fridays, Megan goes to preschool for Speech Therapy to help her with articulation. Since she qualifies for extra help, she gets to ride the bus... which she loves!
Here they are dropping her off at home.

Jennie's Birthday

The girls helped me blow out all 29 candles that Tim put on my birthday cake... and yes we were pretty much on cake overload by the time my birthday came around!

Megan's First day of Preschool

Megan started preschool! She had a lot of fun !

Here she is with her teacher, Ms. Jessica.

The new pool table

Some friends of our decided that they didn't have room for their pool table anymore, so we bought it from them. Tim actually cleaned out the garage to make more room for it (after this picture was taken). If I had only known that was what it would take to get it cleaned out... LOL!

Zoey's 1st Birthday

Zoey is 1 now! We had a fun family party for her.
Here she is opening presents
The girls helped with the presents.
Yum Cake!

Welcome Isabella Ann, and Happy Anniversary to us!

Our neice, Isabella Ann Cooper made her arrival a few weeks early... and I flew to CA to help Jessie and Corey with the boys. She was born on the same day Tim and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. She is beautiful and doing well!

Kailey's 6th Birthday

Kailey celebrated her 6th Birthday with a fun party. She invited some friends from school, dance and some of our neighbors. The kids colored, played outside, got temporary tatoos, and ate pizza and cake and ice cream. The funny thing about the tattoos was that I had some girly ones: hearts, butterflies, flowers etc and some Spiderman ones for the boys. Well, Megan insisted on having the Spiderman ones, lol!

Hi Everyone,

I entered an embroidery contest, and if I win I will get a new embroidery machine... which will be great! If you could vote for me I would really appreciate it. Anyone can vote, so please forward this on and ask your friends and family to vote as well. My entry is #8 (you'll recognize the cute kids in the picture, LOL) and it is a soft ABC book that I made for Zoey. The embroidery designs are from the website sponsering the contest, but the original art used to make the designs are from my drawings! Here is where you can vote:
