Happy Easter!!!

Even though it doesn't seem like it should be here already, today is Easter. Spring started on Thursday with some beautiful weather for a day or two but today is a little nippy! On the way home from church, the car showed 38 degrees! After we got home, it was all I could do to get the girls to take pictures on the deck!! After I took this picture of the girls with the dogs, I noticed that Mollie looks like she is smiling!!

We are going to my parents for lunch, then home for a nice Sunday nap!! Allison was a little disappointed that we didn't hunt eggs this year, but you have to grow up sometime!

Allison finished up her volleyball season yesterday. Now she starts track meets for school, running long distance events. They have their first "practice" track meet on Tuesday. Both girls start back to school tomorrow and Spring Break is officially over!






Happy Easter!!

Playing Catch Up!

Lauren and her acceptance letter


Well, it's been a few days since my last post. But it isn't like I've been sitting around doing nothing!! To bring everyone up to speed, here is a brief recap. Allison has been playing more volleyball (her season is almost over!). School has been carrying on, although the girls are both on Spring Break this week. And I might mention that it has rained both Monday and Tuesday (figures!)! Lauren got her acceptance letter into the Junior Block Program at MSSU. This means that she will be able to get into the Teacher Ed Program her Jr. & Sr. years. She was "a little" excited!











Happy Birthday "PT"!

It didn't take me long after marrying Chris to realize that he was a little crazy! A good example of this is that he celebrates his car's birthday!! Here is a pic of the latest birthday party for "PT", cupcakes, hats and all! I think that next year, Chris is planning on sending out invitations!










Chris looking alot like his dad!

Well, Chris has finally arrived at middle age! He had an eye check up a few weeks ago and he is finally to the point that he needs a little help! This is his first pair of readers and he actually uses them!












It takes so little for these three!


You can bet that anytime that Allison, Kelsey and Olivia get together, it will be fun. We were on our way home from a Branson Volleyball tournament and stopped at Backyard Burger in Springfield. The girls were totally amazed at the "facilities" there-- a black "turlet" with the flushy knob on top!! What will they think of next!








First signs of spring


Spring is just around the corner. At least on the day I took this picture. My crocus that I planted in the front yard the first year we moved into our house (1995), have continued to come up every year and even spread. I know when I see them and the robins return, spring is not far!

I will try to be more timely with my posts. Till later, Pam

More Volleyball!

Well, it's been a few days since my last post. We have been busy with "everyday" life! My last three weekends have consisted of following Allison around while she has played volleyball. I have got quite a lot done on my knitting. Of course, I don't knit while she is playing!! We only have two tournaments left. Allison is running track at school, so she stays after school everyday till 5:00. Her first track meet is March 25 and she will doing long distance running.

Lauren is well into her spring semester. She has turned in her application for Junior Block, for next fall. Lauren has applied for a part time job at Arvest Bank. She has already had her interview and she feels it went well. Right now, she is still working at For All Bible Store at the mall, but since Christmas, her hours have really been cut.

I am getting busier with my new job. I seem to be on the phone alot! But things are coming along nicely.

I actually had a little time to do a layout of highlights from Allison's volleyball games. This is the first page of a two page layout. I wanted to get it posted, so as to not be outdone by my "little" brother. Steve just updated his blog so I had to do the same!!
