Happy 10th Birthday MaKenzie

I can't beleive that our little girl turn 10 today (Feb. 18th). God has blessed us over and beyond what we deserve. Kenzie wanted to take cake balls to school for her birthday and to cheer practice. Eric told MaKenzie that she could have a slummber party, I dislike slummber parties, so I told him if he told her that he could be here to help with this party. Well he went to bed at 10:30 and left for work at 6:15, he wasn't much help. Here are the girls having fun.

Kenzie got a new tv from her nana. Thank you Nana I love it.

Ice Storm 2010

Well we did get some ice lastnight but I don't think it was as bad as they were saying it was going to be. It's snowing and it's so pretty. I'm just sitting here thinking of the ice strom of 2007, what great times. We lost power for 5 days I think, so we headed to the Goodson's house and then they lost power and Chuck and Eric smoked up the house woke all the kids up. That was a long, cold night. We all packed up the next morning and headded to Tahlequah to my mom's, on a normal day it takes about 45 minutes but this day it took almost 2 hours. we made it there ssafe and sound.

The ice on the power lines.

Ice that has formed on the fence.

Snow and ice on the car. I did go to Wal-Mart this morning, the roads weren't to bad a little slushy and really wet. Now they are snow covered.

Ice hanging off the trampoline, now it is sagging do to all the snow on it.

The snow is so beautiful, just hope we don't lose electricity. Eric is at work in Tulsa wondering if he will be able to get home tonight when he gets off, midnight. He stayed at his brothers house last night so that he know he could get to work today. We will see later.

The kids are really being good today, playing good together, being creative. I hate that they are all cooped up in the house but you have to do what you have to do. I ask them what they wanted for supper and they both said, "soup," so I have a crock pot full of potato soup cooking. YUMMO!!!!!

Cheer Weekend In OKC

We where at the NCA, National Cheer Association, competition at the Cox Center in OKC this weekend. MaKenzie and her squad did the best they have ever done. They stuck every stunt, pyramid, and no falls or bobbles in their tumbling passes. The best the squad had ever done. The girls came off the floor so excited and proud of themselves. There were 5 squads total in their division from all over Oklahoma. Then it was awards time, and everything changed. We know we had it in the bag and going to walk out of there in 1st place, but that didn't happen. We ended up placing 4th, do to getting a saftey deduction in the pyramid. The judges said that two of our girls as they we're coming down to the crunch position from the extension, broke connection to early and it became a single legged extensions not braced. Not legal in our division. Neither of our coaches saw that but the judges said it happened and we all think it a bunch of bologna.

This is my cousins little girl Marlo, she had to come watch Kenzie flip. She loves her Kenzie.

Kenzie ready to go. She is all grown up on me. Make's me sad.

I'm just seeing if it works. I'm emailing stuff to my blog and it
suppost to post on my blog and facebook. Cross your fingures.
Here is the picture of Zane when he fell asleep playing his ds going

The first week back

Well it is our first full week back to school since Christmas and it has been rough. MaKenzie has cried the past two days and Zane fell asleep playing his DS in the car going to Tahlequah on Thursday. Funny!!!! Now it's the weekend and I can't wait to get some sleep.

My Stars

Eric and the kids were in "A Baby Changes Everything" the Chrismas program at church this year and they did a great job. Eric played "Nathan" a sheperd and MaKenzie played "Rebekah" Nathan's daughter, and Zane was one of the children in the nativity scene who came to see Jesus. What a wonderful job the whole cast and choir did. A wonderful message it brought. Good Job.
