snow and more snow

Two days of snow and two days of no school. They are not used to snow where we are so the little bit that we do get....everything shuts down. Of course because Tiger works in Saint Louis he has to work..... rain, snow, sleet and whatever comes. So looks like I will driving to take the girls to their orthodontist appointment to get their fitting for their braces.

Finally got a base doctor to set an appointment for my root canal and just my luck...."snow day".

Happy Birthday Tiger

My parents came to visit and Tiger and I had a weekend out. They surprised Tiger with a bbq birthday lunch when we returned. What a wonderful surprise.

The little boy you see at the table is the one that I have been taking care of since September.

Giraldine's Birthday

Happy 13th Birthday Giraldine

Sorry it took me so long to post. My girls are growing up and I am so proud of them.

Happy Birthday!

BIRTHDAY SONG...

BIRTHDAY WISH...

Dad had to remind her...you only get one wish.

BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT...


Happy 14th Birthday Breana!

Since Giraldine was sick we all were not able to go to the homecoming football game. Bree and her dad went and we were able to finally do her cake on Monday night. Gifts for this year were dinner, cake and a check. Keeping it small from now on. If anyone who knows Bree it isn't always that "small". :-)

We love you Breana!

Mascoutah HS Homecoming Parade

The day of Breana's birthday was also the high school's homecoming parade. If you look closely you will see Bree on the truck representing the High School Tennis team.

I happened to be at the park across from the middle school with my daycare children awaiting the parade when.....I got a call from the school that Giraldine had a sore throat and fever. It was convenient that I could just walk over and sign her out. Poor Giraldine had to wait untill after the parade to get home.

Peach and Apple picking with Daddy....

There is a farm that has peach and apple picking then of course during the fall months there is pumpkin picking...

The one Saturday that Tiger finally has off we went apple and peach picking .... just like he promised.

First day of School and Seminary

Breana waiting for her ride to Seminary. The boy's mother that lives on the other side of our housing comes to pick up Bree in the morning one week and I take them the next week. Which is awesome. Another mother then picks them up from seminary and she catches the bus near their house off post. Bree is gone from 0530 untill 1730 every day because she is on the High School tennis team...can you believe "High School". On game nights she isn't home until 9:30pm.

First day of School

Giraldine and Emilee waiting for the bus. Since Bree is now going to seminary it is just the two of them at the bus stop this year.

Emilee's 2nd grade teacher. She is still getting to know her. Everytime I ask what she thinks about her teacher, she changes the subject.

I later found out that Emilee has been placed in an advanced class. So the teacher I suppose has to be a little stern. That is something that Emilee is still not used to.
