Style

Jonah ready for a day at school with his hair spiked

Jill spent the night and had nothing to wear so Jaime got out a dress of her own. Pretty clever, huh?

Mia in purple - boots, boa, sunglasses and all.

Can you tell that Jaime dressed both herself and her daughter?

Life here is an ongoing fashion show. Every day is a new adventure.

Jaime' costume, Jill wins medal at Fairy Tale Bowl

Jaime wore an "army" costume to a birthday party. Jill won a medal at the Fairy Tale Bowl at school. She was chosen from her class and was team leader. Grandma should have gotten a picture of the medal.

A Happy Day

Now both Jill and Jonah have their own clubs

Just a cute pic of Jonah catching a fish at the park last weekend.


Stephanie and Cory found some used clubs for Jonah and surprised him yesterday. Jill got hers last Christmas. Cory came over and took them out on the golf course for some practice. It was so cute. Roger went along and took some practice swings himself. Stephanie actually ran around and picked up the balls! (Quite a lot of running.) Jaime got home in time to admire the clubs and the little golfers. I was still sick with a cold but I went out and took some pictures and cheered them on. It was a fun afternoon for us all.

Jill was called up on stage to help in the alligator performance.

There is a very cute video of Jill on stage at the alligator show. I will post it when I can find it.

Aaron visits home, Jonah's latest activities

Aaron and Jaime. Aaron came home for a visit before returning to Ft. Hood and then to Kuwait.

Roger took Jonah out back to shoot his BB gun at targets in the (frozen) rubber tree plant.

Jonah got an "A" on his Magic Johnson project. He built a little basketball court inside a shoe box and put Magic's picture on the top.

I found Mia hiding in the closet. It was pitch black without the camera flash.

Tea party with Jaime, Mia and Aaron.

On Aaron's visit home they went to the gun range. (Jonah just spent his money to buy a BB gun which was definately NOT grandma's idea.) He promised to only shoot at targets, though.

Mia at the park.

Here are some pictures from Aaron's recent visit home. I added some of Jonah's and Mia's activities. What has Jill been up to? She is in an advanced reading group with Jonah's old teacher, Mrs. Goodknight. Also, Cory and Stephanie took them to the fair and Jill got to touch an alligator. I will post the video and get some Jill pictures from Stephanie's facebook. Jill has also been playing basketball at the park and is getting good at making free shots.

Valentine's Day

A husband who always remembers Valentine's Day. Priceless.

Crafting and Baking for Valentine's Day

Only a few pictures. Didn't get shots of it all, but there were paper hearts, store bought valentines, brownies, heart shaped cookies with icing and sprinkles. Even Jonah decorated a box and wrote out Valentines for all his classmates. It is also picture day so he is off to school with a red shirt on. He even took extra time to comb his hair. Roger and I plan to go out to dinner with Karin and Alan. Jaime will be celebrating after Valentine's Day when Aaron comes home for two days before heading to Kuwait. Happy Valentine's Day to us all!
