East Texas Egg Hunt

Today, we went to Diboll for a big ham lunch with the family. Esther prepared a wonderful lunch.

After lunch, Meme and Pobby had planned an egg hunt for the kids.

Here Bailey is checking out what goodies were in the eggs.
Great picture of the four of us.

Wonderful day with wonderful people!

Christian's 39th Birthday

For Christian's birthday, we had a big rib eye dinner and chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Happy Birthday!

Bathroom Reno

Okay, so I didn't take the before pictures. Here is our after picture.

Christian, my handyman, replaced the light fixture, facets, towel bar, painted the cabinets white and replaced the show curtain rode with one that bows out. I bought new cups, toothbrush holders and a trash can too!

We did Christmas with Christian's side of the family on the 17th. Here is Pobby with his two oldest grandchildren, Bailey and Jacqulyn.

Jack is waiting patiently before opening presents.
This picture didn't turn out, but it was the only one I took of all the cousins.

Great picture of Jack and Christian!

New hats for Jacqulyn and Bailey.We had such a great time. It is so nice getting to see everyone.

Merry Christmas

Galveston: Days 5 & 6

Day five mom and I spent Christmas and birthday shopping. Was a whirle wind, but we got it all finished. Then had a nice family dinner at Gaido's.

Day six was Thanksgiving and we tried something new. We let Kroger do the cooking. That's right, our Thanksgiving dinner came in a big box that we just had to heat up and it was delicious!

What a great week! It will be a Thanksgiving to remember :0)

New Furniture

While I was gone on my trip, the kids and Christian picked out new family room furniture and a new kitchen table. Can't wait to have it delivered!

Pictures from Pirates Bay

Finally got the pictures back from our Pirates Bay adventure that we took with a disposable 35mm water proof camera.

We had a great time!

Four Generations

On our last trip to East Texas, we took some four generation pictures. In this picture is Jeanne Crager, Jack, Bailey, Christian and Esther Barger.

In back we have Bob, Bailey and Christian. In the front is Mary Ellen and Jack.
We are not often in the same room, so I had to insist on taking some pictures. Going to have them printed and framed for everyone!

Pirates Bay

Pirates Bay is colorful Pirate themed water play center complete with a large dumping bucket and an awesome array of spray nozzles, tot slides, and water guns, a 671 foot long lazy river and two large slide towers. Tower activities include fun for both the little ones and daredevils with everything from run-out slides to racing tubes. They also have a flowrider surfing machine. We did it ALL. Bailey did awesome on the surf machine and we couldn't keep Jack off all the big slides. I took pictures with a disposable waterproof camera. Can't wait to get my pictures back!

Father's Day 2011

We went to the pool and grilled steaks for Father's Day. Christian's Play Station 3 broke and he bought himself a new one for Father's Day.

June 2011 Picture of the Month

Summer is here! Yesterday was the last day of school for the kids and they couldn’t be more excited to start the summer. We all have summer school this year. The kids and I are “Wild About Cooking” at my preschool and Christian is teaching history to high schoolers. We also have signed up for the Kids Bowl Free this summer. We have already gone once and they are ready to go back.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a nice LONG weekend!

Spent a little time at the pool.

Went to my friend Lori's for a pool party.
Here is a rare appearance made by Christian at one of my friends gatherings.

We had a wonderful weekend doing a lot of nothing!

Ice Cream Fun

Baskin Robbins emailed us that it was Bailey's 1/2 Birthday and attached a free ice cream coupon. How could we resist? Here is Bailey clowning around with what's left of her ice cream.

Jack has discovered that ice cream is good!

My two favorite guys cheese for a picture!

What a fun family outing!
