Julia and Brionna took me out for lunch to the Big Texan-----I love that place, plus you get a free steak for your brithday if you bring your drivers liscense to prove it's your birthday, we had a blast looking at the rattlesnake, watching a couple of men trying to eat the free 72 oz steak, looking at the "shoot em up" places. Brionna was a little unnerved about some of the old fashioned scenes. We had fun.
Well----------Dick's is next--------I'll do him later.

Happy Birthday Emily
Happy Birthday to Emily! Emily is my favorite daugher-in-law and not just because she's my only daughter-in-law! She makes my son happy, she's very, very sweet. She loves my granddogs and is a great mother to them. She loves all her neices and nephews and always has time to play with them. Linden is so funny around her, he absolutely LOVES Emily! It's so cute to watch him around her. She's very smart and a very hard worker, she works full time at West Texas A & M University in the Financial Aid Dept. and also takes classes so she can learn medical transcription. She also has a busy calling in Young Womens at our Church. She likes to go camping and hiking and she's good at it! She's a good organizer. She loves animals. Dick said to add that she likes peanut butter, especially organic peanut butter and organic almond butter. She's a good cook, also. She can make delicious brownies! Oh yummy!
I love her and I'm so glad she's a member of our family!
Happy Birthday Vaughn
Happy Birthday to the happiest little (well, he's big now!) 5 year old around! Vaughn is 5 years old today! He is so special, he was born on his Aunt Emily's (Randy's wife) birthday, she said it was OK with her that she gets to share a birthday with Vaughn because since she's a twin, she's used to sharing her birthday! He is always smiling and he's so loving and so happy! He is very athletic, I got to watch him play really hard this past Christmas at Jump and Jive and he's very talented, he can jump soooooooooo far! He has played soccer and he scored points for his team! Yeah Vaughn! He also plays baseball, tennis and I'm pretty sure he has learned hockey this past year. He is learning how to speak French. He is in kindergarten and he's such a smart little boy! He just had his tonsils taken out 2 days ago! What a brave little boy! I love him so much and I'm so glad that he is in our family! He is so good with sharing his toys and he's always ready to give his family a big hug. His little cousin Brionna talks about Vaughnie ALL the time. She loves him and misses him. He's a perfect little boy!

Pillowcase Dress
I am soooooooooo looking forward to making these adorable little pillowcase dresses for Marygrace and Brionna!

Brionna is a Psychic
I saw the cutest little pillowcase dresses over the weekend at the Affair of the Hearts, I came so close to buying one for Brionna for her birthday dress but I decided it would be so much fun to make one for her and one for Marygrace. I looked at fabric today and found some really cute fabric with cupcakes on it, it had glitter sprinkled all through it, I decided to see if I could find a pattern and if it was even feasible for me to make the dress so I didn't buy the fabric. I found a pattern on the internet and I showed the dress to Brionna this evening on the internet, she looked at it and asked me if I was going to make a dress with glitter on it for her birthday. I really didn't even mention the glitter to anyone--------------we haven't even talked about glitter on material, weird, I know.

Barnes Update
We are just living a pretty boring life right now, Dick has a little bug right now, I think he's going to the Dr. in the morning, (I hope so) I went to Oklahoma City over the weekend with Jan, we went to the Affair of the Hearts. It was so much fun but we were both so tired I think it's going to take a week to recover! The Affair of the Hearts is HUGE! It takes up 7 large buildings on the State Fairgrounds. It took us 4 hours to go through 2 buildings, we found a lot of treasures and we left happy! We also went to 2 different malls and had a great time at them, again, we left happy.
Brayden also has a little bug also, he stayed home from school today with a bad cough and a low grade fever. I mailed Valentines Day cards and a Birthday card to Belgium today, I hope they reach them at least before Vaughn's birthday. Dick went to the post office to mail a package but we decided to repack and try to use the flat rate box, it was going to be almost $80 to mail a toy, a few pairs of pj's, popcorn and dry italian dressing. I think I can make it work. I will have to mail the toy later, it's heavy.

Happy Birthday Mikala
Happy Birthday Mikala, I hope you have had a great day! I have so many good things to say about Mikala, she's the 1st one of my children to graduate from college. She's the best mother I've ever seen! She's raising her children to be such good little kids and they are so loving. She works hard teaching her children good values. I admire how she has adjusted to living in a foreign country, especially a country where they speak another language. I admire how she can drive in another country and manuver around the town where they don't have street signs on all the streets. (at least I didn't find any street signs!) Of course, I admired how she was able to drive around Philadelphia and Wash. DC. and not get lost. She's smart, beautiful and talented. She's a good wife to Jake, she's a wonderful homemaker, her home is always perfect, so organized and spotless. She's very organized. She's a good aunt, sister and daughter. She's made me very proud.
I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Maybe it was overkill?????????
I will have to delete this post before Brayden reads it because I really don't want to embarrass him but............ He was at our house and I noticed a zit on his nose----------yikes! His 1st zit, what should be do??????
Dick immediately said, "buy him some ProActive", we ran to Walgreens, we haven't bought zit stuff for a long, long time and I didn't realize how many different options I had, we read and read and read, we finally decided on a product-----or 3 products, we also decided that we needed to get the supplies for his house also so we bought double, Dick was amazed we couldn't get ProActive at Walgreens. Brayden has been working with his new "stuff" diligently, Dick and I went to Sams Club and found another treatment for acne that advertised it was better than ProActive, so we bought it, now we have 2 different zit fighting stuff for one pimple that has already gone away. I think that we probably spent close to $100 on zit fighting stuff ------------all for one zit. Ummmm, maybe we went overboard??????????????
fruit ??????
I gave Brionna some grapefruit yesterday and was explaining fruits and vegetables to her, she told me that she likes fruit, fruit snacks.
I think I'll let it count, I like fruit snacks also.

Happy Birthday Linden
This is the toy Linden picked out and played with most of the time.
Linden's birthday was January 11th, I remember the day he was born, I was flying to Philadelphia while Mikala was in labor, I told the pilot to hurry my grandson was on his way! The sweet little lady sitting next to me was so excited for me, she gave me her email address so I could send her a picture of the new baby. He was the sweetest little baby, so cute and soft and cuddly.
He's 3 and he's still soooooooooooo cute, so soft and so cuddly. He has the sweetest little voice, he says things like "can you help me, please??" and it's just so sweet that you have to help him do whatever he's doing--I think he could talk me into robbing a bank if he said "can you help me please", he's so charming. I love that little boy so much. Mikala and I went consignment store shopping, he saw a toy on the very top shelf, he kept saying "please, train, please, train", of course I had to buy it for him and he played with it the entire time he was here, it has a handle on it and he carried it with him most of the time when he was playing, he had so much fun with it. They weren't able to take it back to Europe with them and we decided that it could be his toy in Texas, Brionna likes to play with it and she always says, Linden is sharing his toy with me. I've decided to send it to him, it's kind of expensive to ship things to Belgium but I don't care what it cost, it will be worth every penny to know that he has his favorite Texas toy with him. I just love that little boy soooooo much. I know that he had a great birthday party with his family in Belgium, he's a happy little boy.
