Bryce was sworn into the Navy yesterday!!!!

Ed and I went to OKC yesterday for the day to be there to watch Bryce be sworn into the Navy. We are so very proud of him. He will be shipping out for boot camp on July 11th. He will be in Great Lakes, IL for boot camp and his schooling. He's going into the welding program and will be a hull tech on a ship. He's very excited and so are we. Although of course being a mom, I'm also scared to death! But I think this is the right decision for him and I think he will do wonderful!!

It's February!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's already February! January just flew by!! This month will wrap up basketball season for the girls. There last game is Wednesday (6th). Then they will jump right into volleyball - as sign ups for it are the 11th. They are excited to play volleyball again!! Looks like it will be another busy month with cheer classes, Awanas, volleyball practices, ect... The girls got 2nd place in their basketball tournament this year, it was really exciting for them. This is the first year that they have even placed in the tournament!!! Exciting news for Bryce - he was crowned King at the Winterfest Ball in Shattuck! I'm so proud of him!!

A wonderful Christmas with Grandma Margie!!!

As always, we had a wonderful family Christmas with Grandma Margie. We had dinner at Aunt Carolyn's soda shoppe. Played some games and then headed up to Grandma's house for visiting and opening gifts. Once again, Grandma out did herself for everyone. She always makes the most beautiful quilts, pillows, aprons, dish towels, ect...for everyone. This year was no execption!! Everyone received beautiful hand made items from Grandma that we will all cherish forever!! And we can't forget Grandma's big surprise for us........last year she showed up all dressed like Mrs. Claus. This year - she was Elf Analee!! I can hardly wait to see what she comes up with next year!! Our family is truly blessed to be able to all get together every year and make our beautiful memories!!!

Christmas at Grandma Margies!!!

Yeah!!!! This Saturday we finally get to have our Christmas with Grandma Margie. This is always the highlight of Christmas for our family, so it was a real disappointment when we had to postpone it from Dec. But looks like the weather might just cooperate this time!! I'm really excited to see everyone and spend the day with my family!! And of course we are all looking forward to Grandma's famous chicken and noodles and homemade rolls!!!
