I took lots of pictures but forgot my camera today..so i will try and remember it tomorrow but in the mean time I have some older pics I can post.

Dad turned 79 today and gets around better than I do...lol....He is a trooper I can call him anytime and he is there for me. He has been through alot but still stays strong in his Faith.

Girls night out!!!!

Saturday we had a Personal shower/bachelorette pary for April Stutsman. She is Brandon Watson's fiance' and she is such a sweetheart. We started out at the Embassy Suites in Tulsa and had the shower and then about 9:00 pm the Limo arrived to take some of us out for the evening. Not everyone could go out with us but there was about 7 or 8 that went and we had a blast..we started out at Wild west (think that was the name) and I had a couple of firemen approach me and said that he had his bunker stuff out in his truck and if i could get April out on the dance floor and have them play "they call me the fireman" he would dance....you will be able to tell by the pictures what fun we had and she was so embarrassed....he was such a sweet guy..so we thank him for make all our nights. Also we were all sitting there and all of the sudden Suanne yells "there is that American Idol guy" so me and Suanne run over there and introduce ourselves and sure enough there he was Matt Breitzke!!!! So we then we asked if we could have a picture with them and they were so sweet about it......anyway we had a great time and I have posted some pictures below of our evening!!!!

Me!! Matt Breitzke, April, Heather and Suanne

Happy 12th Birthday BooBoo!!!!

Yesterday March 12th was Rebecca's 12th Birthday...she calls it her Golden birthday because she was 12 on the 12th.

Now for those of you that do not know Rebecca, or BOOBOO to the family...you are missing out. This kid is so amazing. she is funny and does not care what people thinks about her...she does not let much get to her!!! she likes everyone....but man can she talk...sometimes we have to tell her to slow down because she talks so fast. I always say when i grow up I want to be just like Rebecca!!!! lol... Anyway I love you BOOBOO and I hope you had a great birthday with your friends and family at laser quest...sorry I couldnt be there!!!!!!

But we had a great time last Friday night. I asked Rebecca what she wanted from me for her birthday and she said to stay in a hotel and order room service..so that is what we did. We stayed at the Radison Hotel on 41st and Tracy, Rocky and Jacob came for a little while and we went and ate then had some birthday cake and then they left and rebecca went swimming for a little while and then back to the room. The next morning we ordered room service and it was good then off shopping....we had a blast!!!! Here are a few pics of miss BOOBOO!!!

this is Friday night at the Radison...i had to decorate the room a little I think she liked it!!!!!
