All the smokinVette Members that were at the Enid show with their vettes! This is the Vette I want!!!

A view from the top - 121 Corvettes all under one roof!! AWESOME!!!

Getting ready to head out Friday morning!!

Ed, the girls and I took our Vette to the Enid Corvette Show on April 3rd. We left here Friday morning and got to Enid and spent the afternoon detailing the vette and getting everything set up for the show on Saturday. The girls' friend Jett now lives in Enid and she had asked for the girls to come and spend the night with her. Luckily her mom, Jacki, was nice enough to come to the expo center Friday night and pick the girls up for us. Kind of the pits dragging a car trailer all over the place! lol She picked the girls up around 5:30 or so and then took them to a friends mansion in Enid. The entire basement was an indoor swimming pool and a movie theatre. The ordered pizza, went swimming, watched some movies and got to tour the mansion. The girls were in heaven, they said they wished they could have stayed there forever! lollll Saturday Jacki took all the girls to the park, then to the mall, they all got pedicures (well, Dakota passed - heaven forbid she do anything girly!! lol). But Jordan, Jacki, Jett, and Jayci all got pedicures and had a blast, Jordan is addicted to them now! lol Dakota had fun shopping at the mall and the girls even ran into cousin Lynn there, so they were tickled to get to see her! Ed and I spent the entire day at the car show with some fellow "vette" friends! When it was over, we went out to eat with them and then met Jay (Jett's dad) in a parking lot with the girls so we didn't have to pull the trailer all over trying to find their house! lol The rest of the evening we spent at the hotel. Got up early Sunday morning and headed home. Dakota had softball pitching practice that afternoon and Jordan got in some trap shooting practice too!! All in all we had a great Easter weekend (even though a lot of it was spent driving! lol).

VERY proud mom!!!

Well, gotta brag on my girls a little more! lol I'm so proud of both of them!! Jordan made the cheerleading squad!!! She will be a cheerleader for the jr. high football team next year! She is pretty excited!! And Dakota was named Student of the month for February!!! How cool is that?? Both girls getting named student of the month their first year in Hooker!! :o)

The girls and I had a lot of fun in KS with my Mom. Grandma Margie went with us and we sure enjoyed the trip to and from getting to visit with her and just spend some time with her!! I'll treasure this trip forever!! Went shopping while we were there and had a lot of fun. Got a lot of projects to get busy on if this silly weather every straightens up!! I'm so anxious to get started on my flower beds now!!

I went off and forgot my camera, but the weather was pretty cold and drizzly while we were there, so we didn't really do too much other than shop and hang out in the house. Went ahead and brought the girls home with me Thursday instead of letting them stay until Sunday because we're supposed to get some bad weather tonight and tomorrow and I didn't want to chance it and have to try and meet half way on bad roads Sunday! lol

They go back to school on Monday and have a track meet on Thursday. I'll try and get some pics!!

March Update! (3/10/10)

So glad that it's almost Springtime! I'm really tired of ice and snow. We've had more this year than we've had in several years. Good for the moisture that we needed, but I'm ready for some warmer weather!!

Ed finally got him an older pickup to pump out of, so I officially have my truck back! lol I love it. Took me 3 hours to clean it up after he had been using it to pump out of for about 9 months though! lol But it looks like a new one again!!

Girls are keeping me super busy as always!! Jordan was named "Student of the Month" for January. They pick them the following month, so she found out the middle of February! She was pretty excited and I am so proud of her. Quite an accomplishment to be chosen out of all the 7th, 8th and 9th graders for the Jr. High. Esp. being new to Hooker Schools this year!! Both of the girls once again made the Superintendent's Honor Roll this nine weeks!! They will get their report cards this coming Friday! Pretty proud of them!! (as if you couldn't tell! lol) Track season is officially underway!! They have their first meet this coming Friday (12th) in Boise City!! Jordan is also trying out for cheerleader this year. She's been attending cheer clinics all week and practicing at home. Tryouts are tomorrow (11th) after school. I sure hope she makes it. I really think she has a pretty good shot at it as long as they have impartial judges! lol (cause we all know how you get those that will vote for a certain person because of who his/her parents are, ect...) But overall, I think she has a pretty good chance! Keeping my fingers crossed for her!! Dakota is still doing great with her pitching. Been a long winter though and she's sure ready to get back to going once a week instead of maybe once a month depending on the weather! lol Softball season is right around the corner, so she's getting really excited about that.

Spring Break is next week, the girls and I are going to Laverne on Monday morning and picking up Grandma Margie, then we're all going up to KS to see Mom for a few days! Gonna be so much fun having a girls only vacation!! :o) We're gonna go shopping all day Tuesday and Wednesday with Mom and then Grandma Margie and I will come back home on Thursday. The girls are gonna spend the rest of the week with Grandma Trish and Pa Larry. Then I'll meet Mom half way on Sunday to pick them up again! We are all getting really excited. Girls have been saving their money and working around here to earn some more so they will have lots to shop with! lol

Hard to believe that we are getting ready to start the last 9 weeks of the girls' 7th grade year. This year went by faster than I ever thought possible. Seems like just yesterday I was sending them off to a new school and hoping that they liked it. And of course, they loved it! They have both made a lot of friends, are very active in everything and of course have made excellent grades all year. I'm so very proud of both of my girls. They are very sweet, caring, mature young ladies and they have so much going for them. I have a feeling they are both going to do great things with their lives!!

That about catches everyone up again. I'll be sure to take some pics of our "girls' vacation" next week and update this when we get home. Hope everyone is having a great March!!!

Snowman!!

Girls had fun building this snowman after the last snow. They named him Colby - after a good friend of ours because he was wearing sunglasses and a d0-rag just like Colby does. lol

Valentine's Day

We all had a nice Valentine's Day. Ed had to work that morning, but that evening he took me and the girls out to the movie. The girls went to see "Valentine's Day" but Ed and I went to see "From Paris with Love". We really enjoyed our movie and the girls really enjoyed theirs. We were gonna go out and eat after the movie, but it was late and we were all full from popcorn! lol

Jordan's First "Date"

Jordan went on her first "date" this past Saturday night (13th). She went with her boyfriend Bret. They have been sweethearts since pre-k. When he moved away it was a little hard on both of them for a while, but they found their way back to each other! lol Bret brought Jordan some flowers, a card, and a balloon for Valentine's day and then took her out to the movie. They went to see "From Paris with Love". Of course only both being 13- they went to the movie with Bret's parents. Jordan had a great time and really enjoyed getting to spend some time with Bret.

Pics!!

Girls OU Birthday Cake!!

Jordan and Haley

Dakota and Brandon - their 1st "date". 1/22/10 I took Dakota to the theatre to meet Brandon and his parents. They went to see The Blindside and when the movie was over, I picked her up. She had so much fun. Brandon is such a sweet guy and they really seem crazy about each other. Bad part is that he lives in California now, so she misses him like crazy. But of course they text, email, talk on the phone, ect... and he does come back to OK once in a while to visit, he's coming for 2 weeks in August and they are both already counting down the days! lol
