Nicolas in quiet zone vs Sierra Dancing

Hog Girls

NJ visit

Ann did an excellent job cooking Thanksgiving dinner:)

Things Sierra probably shouldn't be allowed to do

Sierra now can say "NO" "GET" "OUT" Wonder why those are some of her first words??


Apparently she heard me say her bear needed a bath!

She already knows about "happy hour".

If the dog isn't going to be in there I might as well be....

Why do I have to be such a boring white girl???

This was Colleen's question of the day. In her World Geography class they were discussing cultures and what each student's family did that was a cultural thing.
Colleen's class consist of two Africans, two India boys, a girl from the Ukraine, and 3 middle eastern kids, a exchange student from Japan..and a couple of Hispanics. Poor Colleen had nothing to offer except her uncle was born in France, and her teacher said that didn't count has a cultural food or event:)
Colleen came home asking if there was something we did..She didn't take that we go visit the relatives from that nation of Texas and eat their food, or we eat fried fish and hush puppies in AR. She informed us she was not going to let her kids be boring white children and she was going to spice up her life. She is so her Aunt Jane!!!!!

Report card time

My kiddos were rocking it this first nine weeks...

Conlan was also full of A's..and two B's.

The straight A king of the family is Donavan!!!!!!

Let's not forget about Sierra and her 15 month check..She is also perfect at 24 lbs and 33 inches...

Sierra was her favorite farm animal for Halloween.


Sierra has a future in being a chicken catcher.
