Kembree's Baby Blessing

We blessed Kembree on April 12th, 2009. (Easter Sunday)

When we tell her to smile for the camera she crosses her eyes instead. :)

He she is with Dad. He is the one who blessed her. When he blessed Kinzie she screamed the whole time, so when Kembree made just a little sound he ended the prayer as fast as he could.

I had to get a butt shot because I love the little bow on her shorts. I got this dress a the Beary Merry Botique. I fell in love with it, but it was almost too small for her. I'm glad it still fit. She is laying on the afgan that my mom made for her. It turned out so pretty.

We took this family picture after church, but everyone was hungry and I need to get the lunch started so we didn't get a very good picture. It was a nice way to spend Easter.

What a Wind

It has taken me a while to post this, I started this on Tuesday but it is now Thursday. Life has been crazy. On March 22nd (that was a couple of Sundays ago) we had quite the wind storm. Duane heard a noise outside and looked out the window. He saw that the wind caught our pine tree just right. It twisted and fell on the fence and into the neighbors yard. The next day he started cutting it up and if you look at the picture he is not wearing a coat. Well it was breezy and very cold that day as well, so that night he got the chills and a fever. Well then I got sick from him and then the kids got sick one at a time. They are still sick. Janae was complaining about her ear hurting today (Thursday) and when we looked there was puss coming out of it. What fun :] I guess we get to go to the Dr. tomorrow. Thanks a lot you stupid tree.

Janae's Birthday

Janae turned 5 yrs old on March 13th. She wanted to have ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Wiley picked this one out for her.

Debra & Brian came over and Grandma Martin was here. She got the remote control truck she asked for and then some.

The kids wanted a picture together. The baby was sleeping but these three had fun posing for the camera.

Janae is growing up fast. We are so glad she is a part of our family. She is a sweet, helpful, and thoughtful little girl. We love you, Janae.

MY BASKETBALL TEAM

I coached Wiley's basketball team this year with the help of my friend Bethann. Our last game was on Saturday. We had a pretty good season. We played a total of 8 games. We won 4 and lost 4. I enjoyed coaching I just wish I could have done more in practice with them. It was a little hard to run around while 9 months pregnant. But we had a couple of parents who helped out at some of the practices. We took them to the Dog House for ice cream tonight. The Dog House is an arcade. Everyone had a really good time.

Wiley and I decided to sport our ribbons for the camera. Janae took the picture. She did a pretty good job for a 5 yr old. (She will be 5 on the 13th)

Duane's B-Day

Monday was Duane's Birthday but he had to leave for work at 8:00 in the morning and he didn't get home until 10:30 at night. So we (the kids and I) made him some cheese cake and gave him his gifts on Sunday night.

The kids stayed entertained with the wrapping paper for quite a while. Duane was entertained with his new present, so I decided to take pictures. We had a fun time :]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUANE

My Bear

On Saturday we went to the furniture store to get a Lazy Boy rocker recliner. I told Duane I needed a chair to rock the baby. Anyway when we were doing all the paperwork Kinzie spotted these Bears. She stayed by this one the whole time, and if we got near her she would tell us "MY BEAR." She kept her arm around it the whole time. It was tooo cute, I had to take a picture.

Once I got out the camera and took her picture with this bear she decided she wanted her picture with the bears in the canoe too. She had a fun time just petting all the animals in the store.
