Oklahoma B. L......................

Ok, this one is for Melissa and the girls in the lounge...............and Mel, you know why.. notice J.'s t-shirt? My children have had Eskimo Joe's tee's since they were born.........and they love them.

Boys and Their Stuff

When I tried to catch the girl for a picture...............they got me instead, but I hid behind J.

Why does this child have to be playing with balls in the house at all times and particularly in the living room? Why does this child think if a book is missing, I took it..............has he seen his room lately? He did win both his matches last night in wrestling by pinning both opponents.......and CHS won. Go Black Knights..........

Wake Up

After asking T. to get up 3 times, I entered his room with my camera and started clicking...........all he said was "this can't be your picture, man"...........well, it is my picture. They know I am doing a picture a day for my blog and today is T. and his messy room.............he has an aversion to clean. He and E. have to do their own laundry (starting Jan. 1) and I must say he has been doing it. I have yet to see E. do a load.

Apple Pie

I had three major meetings today, didn't get home till 5:15.................and still made an apple pie from scratch to go with my mashed potatoes and pot roast...............am I wonder woman? No, I am OCD.................I had it on my mind and HAD to do it tonight........not tomorrow when I have more time..........tonight...............E. peeled and cored all the apples, so it wasn't so bad................I wouldn't let Chris have a piece till I had taken a picture.............they all think I'm nuts...........speaking of nuts, that is pecans and caramel on top of the crumble topping...............

Typical night at our house.

Typical Monday night at our house............T is at wrestling, J is "trying" not to suck his thumb while he watches TV in the kitchen and C and E are in the den having a discussion about "Dad, can you give me a ride to campaigners".....E. loves her Oklahoma State sweatshirt she got this summer. Me? I made lasagna last night and tonight? LEFTOVERS and NO cooking.

Goodnight J.

For years J has had the same bedtime routine.........we sing and then pray.........he is so cute, I got him on video...........take a look.......

Wrestling Saturday

We spent the day at Madison County High School at a Wrestling tournament..........I mean all day.........we left at 9:30 this morning and got home at 4:30... T (in black above) was 4 and 1...........the guy that beat him was HUGE!!! He had a body builder's body and many tatoos........including one across his chest that said BLESSED..............What parent lets their kid do that? T. beat the kid in these pics. I love being in Madison and even had a great conversation with one of the Madison coaches who gave me a tour of the shop and FFA room.....CHS needs to have some of those programs..........I would love for T. to learn how to build something!!!
CHS coaches watching the boys wrestle.
T, his bestfriend H and his sister B........home from college.


I was taking these pics of T. and never noticed C sitting next to him smiling and then, above, giving me a sign till I downloaded the pictures.........these are really a great bunch of guys.....
