Mac's first day at school.

One of these days she will learn how to pose for the camera. She has other shoes but she said they would do p.e. first thing so she wore her tennis shoes.

She's here!!!

We named her Brown sugar or just sugar for short. She just loves the hamburger toy Hailey picked out. Mac's in love. Puppy love that is.


They are so cute when they're sleeping.

New Puppy!!!

We adopted this puppy from a friend of a friend. It's a little girl. We haven't decided on a name yet for her. We are so excited to have her. Well we don't have her yet. She is at the vet getting shots and stuff.

Mac

Mac starts school next Monday. 5th grade! Isn't that crazy?!!! We just finished her tax free school clothes shopping. Boy was that fun. No, it wasn't to bad this year. We did have to buy her everything though. She had a growth spurt and absolutely nothing fit. She is into earrings and necklaces and all things pretty this year.

Family Time

Kelly and Gene at the pool. Kelly and Hailey reading a nite nite story. I was already asleep.

Kelly's kids Jacob and Maddy came to visit this summer. Her step daughter Claire is also there. I enjoyed seeing them. They are good kids.
My mom with Jacob and Maddy.
Gene hiding from the camera as usual. He was tired after a day of playing with 5 kids in the pool.

Hope

Hope came to visit in July. She was here about a month or so. As you can see she visited us as well. Can you feel the love in this first pic? Hope came here when Frank had to do dialysis. Hailey had fun with her and so did Mac. Hailey was confused at first as to who she was. She kept calling her grampas girlfriend. Half way through she figured it out.

Gannon

Gannon came to visit a while ago and they got all dirty so naturally they took a bath. They did well together. When all was done Gannon came back to the bathroom and peed on the floor. I didn't mind so much because he was running around in my room and on my bed.

Hailey

We started planning Hailey's birthday party this week. We decided to go pick pumpkins and go through a hay maze and bounce on bounce houses. I think she will have a blast.

NeNe

So Nene moved out 2 months ago and I'm starting to get bored. Adult conversation is lacking now. She is doing well where she's at. She has found work in an office. Hailey tells her to come back to her home every time they talk. Today she told her that she was coming to visit her in her house. I think she has finally realized that Nene has moved. We look forward to seeing her at Christmas.
