New foam floride!

To save time and stress - I take off work and we go visit the doctor and dentist as a family. Much better than setting up 6 separate appointments! :-) Ethan was such a great patient at the dentist office. Vanessa had NO cavities and Chad took a shot without even a wince! I totally forgot to take pictures at the Dr. office. I have a good excuse though - I was busy. Restraining Ethan during vaccination time. Not a fun exercise for anyone! :-(

Can you read the balloon?

Our family has been going to Lords and Ladies in Jenks for 5 years. Since Ethan is only 4 - that means LnL has been a part of his life forever :-) He is so excited about start Pre-K at Jenks though so he is handling it well so far. Most of all he will miss Ms Lana and Ms Jae even though he would never admit it :-)

New edger!

Chad found an edger on craigslist and could NOT wait to use it. He found it in Bartlesville so his Papa Gene went and picked it up for him. We drove back to Jenks and he immediately started edging. He wore safety goggles (of course) but he didn't realize how much would be kicked up into his torso, arms and face. Then all of a sudden - BAM! A cuckaburr shot up at Chad's face and stuck in his chin. If you didn't notice it before - surely you will now be able to see the big green thing right below his bottom lip. OUCH!

Vacation!

We took a non-traditional family vacation for 4th of July and went to Kansas City! The real reason we chose KC over say - Dallas or even OKC is because of a little restaurant called Cinzetti's. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet...but like nothing you have ever seen. :-) We love it - so much so we drive 4 hours and choose our hotel in relation to the restaurant - not the attractions! :-) http://www.cinzzettis.com/
We saw the national traveling tour of Legally Blonde (in a beautiful outdoor theater in pouring rain!) and we spent a day at Oceans of Fun. We have a lot more pictures from my mom's digital camera - but I wanted to post the ones from the underwater disposable one NOW! I just love these! Oh yes - and we took our flip - there should be a couple of cute short films to post too! I will get to work! For now - click on Grammi and Vanessa for more pictures!

You'll be so jealous - but you can't buy "Chad" in stores!


Preparing

After our second funeral in less than a month - we came home to find out mailbox smashed to the ground. We were not very excited. I stopped our mail and starting looking online for a good (cheap)sturdy mailbox. Then Vanessa and I went to Lowe's sans boys and picked out the one we wanted :) This one said - no digging necessary. You kind of just hammer the post into the ground (supposedly) Well, we live in Jenks America which is pure sand. So the whole - hammering the post into the ground did not make for a sturdy mailbox! So the neighbor came over with a cardboard tube and some cement mixture. Wa - la - Chad was able to get the mailbox up in a few minutes!
