Family Pics...

For the longest time, my Dad has wanted to take family photos. There are 4 of us kids and 5 grandkids. It's not so easy to get us altogether, but we finally did it!

These are a few favorites~

My sister Tiffany, brother Brian, stepmom Karen, Dad, me, brother Kevin.

It was cold and windy.....at least that was the excuse for this face :)

me, Nanny Phyllis, and Tiffany.

We also got the chance to take Ferguson Family photos!! Again, cold...but we got it done!

Merry New Year Christmas!!

I'm having a really hard time explaining to Grant that Christmas is over. Could be all the Christmas lights still up around town. Could be that we had 3 different Christmas' over a weeks time. Could be that our tree is still up. (ha!) Who knows. Anyways, his new saying is "Merry New Year Christmas!"


Here are a few pictures from our Holiday.



Grant was REAAALLLLY ready to go to Oklahoma! I caught him with his suitcase trying to leave one morning.









Christmas Morning...Kenna was very excited to see her new keyboard. If this sticks, we might be looking into piano lessons. :)













Grant got this GIANT "ma-rote" control Monster Truck from Santa. He really wanted a yellow one, but Santa must have run out of yellow paint.











The Festival Of Lights in Chickasha, OK. Very pretty!!
This is one of my favorite displays...a tow truck and Santa's sleigh. Heehee!


We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! And from our family to yours, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

You see what had happened was......

Jaycee had a bike wreck. A bad one. Down a steep hill, going very fast, and obviously not at all in a straight or upright position. She landed on her elbows then rolled.

Bruises=both elbows, one leg, 2 on stomach, 1 on chin, groin (BAD ONE!), and 1 on her chest. Blood= elbow, head, tummy. The head scared me. Always does. Head wounds bleed so bad!! Turns out, it was a very small puncture.
It could have been worse. She could have broken something. We're still not sure about ALL the damage.

We go back to the orthopedic surgeon Wednesday.

Not good. Still yet, it could have been worse.

She has possible damage to the growth plate in her shoulder and maybe something or another going on with the nerve in her elbow (causing numbness in her hand).

I should have gotten more pictures of the MULTIPLE bruises she has......but from the photo below, you'll see she wasn't happen about the camera. =)

This was taken in the ER.....TWO DAYS LATER.

I'm either the mom that runs immediately, thinking broken arm-leg-head, or the mom that makes here kid suffer two days before going in. And truth be told, I tried to get her in to the Doc, but they had nothing open and my baby was sufferin'.

So Jaycee is in a sling....not sure for how long. But she's done well. More xrays tomorrow, doc on Wednesday.

So how was your week??

few new pics

So we'll start at Halloween and work our way to the present :)
Grant had two costumes this year
This is Dr. Ferguson....he wore this one to the school carnival in town.
And this is Batman with his sidekicks, Disco girl and Glamour Witch. (I could have picked somewhere other than the GARAGE to take a memorable pic, huh?)

Jaycee and Kenna shot in their first archery tournament in November. They won 2nd and 1st places, respectively. Very proud! District is in two weeks....WOO HOOO!

HAPPY FALL YALL! ( yes Jaycee's arm is in a sling.....more on that later)

We were honored to be invited to our good friends, the Harkness' for Thanksgiving. They would here of us being "alone" with just the 5 of us. This is the awesome setting for our meal. We had REAL plates and REAL glasses and there was even wine on all the tables!! Very fancy for this small town girl! Yet very welcoming and relaxing! We even played softball in the rain afterwards...good times!

The girls and I at Thanksgiving....(pre-rainy-softball-game)
(and this photo somehow got flipped, so Jaycee's sling is on the "wrong" arm!!)

Enjoy your day....

One of our favorite family past times in fishing. The house we live in now has 2 ponds! We love it!
This is a picture of me, just to prove I was there :)

Jaycee and Kenna with a B-I-G one!!

Grant and his mighty fishin' dog...

Shawn was there too, but he must have been hiding from the pictures. He always teases me that everything we do is just a photo op. So when I take pictures, I have to be sneaky!! haha!

This is Grant at the doctor's office on Monday. He was running fever and had a headache.....we actually went in to check on a bump he got the previous night when he FELL OFF THE CAR. Yep, he's a climber.

btw, he's better :)

This one is from the Halloween party at a friends house. Kenna is a Glamour witch and Jaycee is a disco girl. Batman, Elvis and Dr. Sniffles were also in attendance.

Shawn's handmade, Flyin' Elvis suit circa 1996. Remodeled with some new LED lights. The previous lights were Christmas lights he re-wired INDIVIDUALLY to string up to battery packs he taped to his belt. He was a hit!!

Houston Astros vs Chicago Cubs

Shawn recently cashed in some hotel points and got us tickets to a MLB game in Houston. It was AWESOME!! I had so much fun! The kids had fun, but got a little bored during the game. It was Family day, so there were activities for the kids prior to the game.
Bouncy houses.
wax hands.
Coloring.
Clowns.
Ball pits.
FREE.
It was great!

We sat way up high, but the view was great! AND, we were in the shade the whole time.

A good family photo is rare.

Kids with Junction Jack :)

Grant wanted to see EVERYTHING.

It was so much fun and I hope we get to go again some day.

Creations...
