Playing with Pictures!

This is what happens when you go to Braylee's house to play!!!!

 

Oh what FUN!!!

Austin, Graham's cousin, came over to play during the Christmas break! They had so much fun together. Graham figured out how to drive his tractor from Austin! He watched Austin drive it first and you could tell he was bound and determined to make that thing GO!!! It was so funny to watch them play. They were really pretty good about taking turns driving it around the yard. We also went to the Science Spectrum. I will post pictures of that sometime soon!







"WHEEE!!!"

This picture makes me think of Raymond!
"I DID IT!"

LIons, Tigers, and Bears OH MY!!!!

So, I have found out a couple of things out about myself in the last couple of months with 2 of them coming today.

Well...
I guess I am pregnant, getting a divorce, and quiting my job!!!

Oh my how the rumors FLY!!!!!!

Today at lunch another teacher heard that all the West Kindergarten teachers were pregnant and leaving at the end of the year. I also heard today that I was getting a divorce. I guess a couple of months ago my name was in the paper with another R name for filing a divorce! Also, before Christmas I heard I was quiting my job and being replaced!!!

Christmas with MiMa, Papa Bill, and Aunt Sally

Helping Aunt Sally! Nell looking at her gift from Graham! He gave her a scrapbook of HIMSELF!!! Thank you MiMa and Papa Bill! Graham is in heaven! He is in love with tractors right now and spots them anywhere we go. This is battery powered and I am sure that it will not be long before he is everywhere! Bill already having to work on the tractor!!! Thanks for the help Dad!


And... for those of you who know Bill, this is him explaining to Raymond how to charge the battery. I just thought this was funny because Graham is right in there with them. Notice that Bill puts in there something about "light you up." Him and his partner Cameron put it together and I noticed in the instruction manuel that he put a check by this warning. ***2. Do not use with non-rechargeable batteries. Risk of explosion. *** He also has some other things underlined and checked. Only Bill would do this. He loves Graham and is only looking out for his safety on this tractor! Anyways, just thought I would share and I am sorry that you have to turn sideways!!!

Graham was a GOOD boy!

Christmas at MiMi's!!!

We celebrated with my Mom on the 23rd. We had hamburgers by candlelight and then opened presents. This is a tradition that her family did when they were little. We ALL had FUN!







So Cute!



Allyson and SWEET Alexandra



Austin and Graham received lots of goodies and Ryan had to test it all out!






Between the 6 of us we had a white elephant Christmas! We all brought a $20 gift and then drew names. My Mom wanted to play a joke on Bruce. It was great!!! He had mentioned to her that he always got chocolate covered cherries for Christmas from family members and then other childhood memories that involved SPAM and Vienna sausages, so my Mom thought that would be the perfect gift. After Bruce opened the STARTER gift, we played our game. We had a great time and everyone had a good laugh.




Ryan having just a much fun with all the toys!



Austin with a play do necklace stuck in his ears!!!! The boys had a great time.



Some of Graham's favorite things at the moment. A phone, tractor, and a kitchen. The only thing we are missing is a horse.



This is not at MiMi's, but I never have a picture of Graham and I. This is when we were waiting on Raymond in the car to see Santa! I love his smile!

Lunch with some of my BEST friends!!!

Angela, Amber, Wendy, April, and I (just missing Amanda)


When everyone is town we try to get together sometime!!! This time was without kids. We counted it up and we would have 8, with one on the way. Angela is expecting in March. WOW! We always have such a great time together talking and catching up!
