Time with Libby.

I went to Kevin & Sarah's on Tuesday night and stayed with Libby Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as Sarah's sister who babysits for Libby had her tonsils removed. I had a great time with Libby. Luckily, I watched the Baby Signing Time DVD's before I left as Libby signs and we got along fine. When she has her snack in the living room, Gilmore is very attentive as you can see in the photo as anything she drops is fair game. She usually drops some on purpose for Gilmore. She is growing and changing so fast. Keith called while we were there and Libby said "Hi" to Grandpa on the phone. She signed Grandma the first day I was there and they said that was the first time she had signed it. So she knows who I am. Christmas is a long way away, but I am thankful for the time I get to spend with her.

Weekend with the Grandkids

Kraig, Casey, Chloe and Cayla spent the night with us Friday and the day with us Saturday. We played some games, Clue, Sequence, Scruples, Monopoly and of course Candyland. We went to Subway in Butler for lunch. Keith cut some trails in the woods and we took several rides on the trails on the Gator. It was a beautiful weekend to spend time outside. Keith had an auction today so he didn't get to see the kids for too long, but it was quality time. Chase came too and stayed in the garage in his carrier. He loved running around. Chloe spent alot of time outside with him. Kraig and Casey took him for a walk in the woods. We had to go to Wilson's Holiday party tonight, so we didn't get to talk to Kurt and Christy much when they got back. They had a good time and IU won!!

Mom's 96th Birthday A Day Early

Today I had Mom over for lunch and invited my brothers and sisters for cake and ice cream. They all came except Byron's wife Judy who wasn't feeling well. She was missed. The afternoon was spent playing cards and watching NASCAR. I took a few pictures which I will post.

Chloe's Ninth Birthday

Kurt & Christy had Chloe's 9th birthday party tonight. We had delicious nachos and cake and ice cream. Kurt & Christy got Chloe something she has been wanting for a long time. A dog. Chloe named him Chase. He is part Jack Russell and part beagle. He is three years old and a sweet dog. They gave him to her on Wednesday and you can tell how special he is to her. Keith & I got Chloe an American Girl doll, Elizabeth. I think she really liked it too. In one of the pictures, all the girls are sitting on the floor checking her out. She was surprised, as we had told her she would have to wait until she was ten as that is when we gave Casey hers. But she just wanted one so I thought that this is the year.

BSBW Tasting Bee

Today was the Bryan Area Business Women's Fourth Annual Tasting Bee. The theme this year was Be Entertained. Members were to decorate a table with their favorite movie. I did Field of Dreams and this is what I came up with. Just wanted to share.

Kurt's deer that he got with a bow and arrow

This is the button buck that Kurt got tonight in our woods with a bow and arrow. He made a great shot from his tree stand. He called us and Keith & I went back on the gator to get it.
