My camera died. I sure loved that thing. It was a relatively 'cheap' camera that I got for Christmas but man it took pix and downloaded easily. But most importantly - I knew how to use it. :-)
For my birthday this year Mom and Gene got me a new camera. It was not cheap. It has a lot of bells and whistles and I want to start taking tons of pictures again -but I have not learned how to use it yet! :-( So. until then - I have a little story to tell. About Chad.
Chad and I were in Target shopping without Vanessa and Ethan. Chad kept touching everything. Picking it up - asking if he could have it. Can I have this? What about this? Mommmmmm can you get me this? I mean senseless crap that he didn't really want OR need! I was so frustrated. Finally I said (ok maybe yelled) "CHAD! Do NOT ask for one more thing!"
He looks at me with his arms out "Can I have a hug?"
I admit - it difussed the situation (Chad pointed out later he never got that hug!)
About 20 seconds later I see him reach up for some tic tacs while we are waiting in line!
So this time for SURE I yelled! "CHAD! I am not 13 and afraid to cause a scene!"
While karate chopping the air he said "like a ninja assasin scene?"
And I said "No, like a 'Boy my mom really IS crazy' scene"
With a straight face he looked at me and said "Really? Mine too!"
May he RIP.
My first season not coaching my baby girl :-(

I really can't believe it. Look at that cute little smile. All of the team pictures should be ready next month but a mom from the team (thanks Jaime) took this for us to preview :-) We definitely spend a lot of time at the fields with all three playing this year but it's been really fun!
My desk
Tweet
Just a typical office desk right? Tape, paper clips, computer, back scratcher...but what IS that cute little thing with the orange butterfly? It must be one of those cubed notepads. Or a box for trinkets? What is it!?
Wait! It's the new QTip's box! Called a VANITY BOX! I love it! I can have my Qtips at work and no one knows. I just wanted to share. :-)
What do you think about?

The other day, Vanessa Ethan and I were driving back from their dad's house. Vanessa was telling me he and his girlfriend were going to Vegas to get married. I have been basically single Vanessa and Ethan's entire lives so I was curious.
"Do you guys ever think about how Dadda has a girlfriend but Mama doesn't have a boyfriend?"
Vanessa said "Ya, I think about it sometimes"
Ethan said "Mostly I just think about Incredible Pizza"

Selena's Senior Prom
Tweet
Miss Selena has decided to enroll in college and not go into the Air Force at this time. I have to say I was very worried about her joining the military but I know there were good points too. She is not excluding the possibility of joining at a later date - but college seems like a great idea to me :)
This is Selena and her boyfriend Anthony at her Senior Prom. Just gorgeous!

Doctor Day Part II
Tweet
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!
Tweet
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!
Tweet
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!

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! Click on the picture for more of Chad building his first mailbox.
