Happy Birthday Tyler!!!!!!!

Actually tomorrow is James "TYLER" Shorts 22nd Birthday!!!! I cant believe this guy is already 22 and in his last year of college.

What can you say about Tyler....well actually ALOT!!!! Tyler is TYLER...and no one else...lol... We really dont get to see much of him because he is soooo very busy as school. He is President of his faternity and that in its self keeps him pretty busy, plus he works and then you know the TMAN has to socialize!!!! For the past 2 or 3 years tyler has worked at a summer camp and he loves it. He works with kids that are less fortunate, and they seem to like him, so there again we dont get to see much of him in the summer either.

Anyway I am VERY proud of Tylers accomplishments and wanted to be the first one to wish him a VERY HAPPY 22nd Birthday. LOVE YOU BUBBA!!!

Jammin out with the B-Man



????????? what the Heck???????

Miss Stephanie, The only women in the world that can put up with Tyler!!!

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!!!!!



Rebecca Waiting for Room Service!!!!!!! OH THE LIFE!!!!

Well I did the unthinkable!!! I forgot my brother in law Jimmy's birthday.....I am so sorry...I dont do that very often at all...i think i am just getting OLD!!!! Any way just want to wish you a very happy birthday and I hope you had a Great day!!!!

Jimmy is married to my sister Terri for I think 30 years, give or take a year or two!!! they have 4 kids...Mandy, Amy, Tyler, and Katie and 3 Grandkids Haylee, Bryson and Jamison. For the most part Jimmy is a pretty good guy!!! (just kidding) he is a great guy...works sooo very hard to make a living for his family...we dont get to see Jimmy very often because he does travel with his job. I have posted some pictures hope you enjoy and again happy birthday!!!!

Oklahoma City road trip!!!!!

Bryson getting ready for the big road trip to OKC

Friday Brian, Mandy, Bryson and I headed to OKC.....got a little later start that we wanted but that is another story!!! (LOL) Anyway I had bought Brian tickets to the OKC Thunder for Christmas and told Mandy that when they go I wanted to go and watch Bryson...I am so glad I did. That kid is a hoot!!! he has started talking but he repeats EVERTHING you say, so we really have to watch it!!! He for some reason calls me "TA" cant figure it out..but hey at least he calls me something (sorry Cheryl)......anyway we got to OKC went and ate and then Mandy and Brian headed for the game and me and Bryson stayed in the room. Our room had a balcony and he LOVED IT...he climbed up on the table and just sat there...and every once in a while he would say "I am TOLD (cold) Ta...brrrrrrrr" cutest thing i have ever heard....well we get back in the room and i had to get onto him for something and he took his little fist and hit me (not hard) so i got onto him and he immediately went to the corner and I didnt even tell him to!!! It was so funny I think his mama made him stand in the corner the night before!!!! I laughed so hard trying not to let him see me, but I had to get a picture!!!! after he got through in the corner he said "sorry TA"

Anyway Thanks Mandy and Brian for letting me tag along and letting me watch Bryson...i had so much fun. I posted some pictures below didnt get very many. There are also a few of his new hair do!!!!
