Christmas 2008

I had alot of fun this Christmas. I was so excited about my gifts this year. I love presents. I was such a good girl that Santa brought me a kitchen. I did a good job sharing my toys. Here are some highlights, fyi there are alot of pictures.

On Christmas eve I went out to eat at Applebees. The waiter actually commented on how well behaved I was!

My new "car"!

Santa even brought me a present in person!

Ohhh a baby!

This package was from Santa. "Ohh Look!"

A kitchen!

The first visitor to my new kitchen was my cousin Jay. I made her some lunch!

One of my favorite gifts was my barney doll! I love to sing the I Love You, You Love Me song!

I had a very good Christmas, but I also know that the whole reason we celebrate Christmas is because it's Jesus's Happy Day. This was my second Christmas and every year it gets better and better! I am getting bigger and learning new things. This year I have learned how to share, say "thank you", "your welcome" , "excuse me", and "please."I think Santa would appreciate all those things, even if I say "open please" when I find a present! I loved my babies, barney, clothes, crayolas, well all my gifts, but I mostly loved spending time with all the people that I love. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas!

Flashback Friday

This post goes back to when I first sang at the Oklahoma Opry. The first picture was when I was younger standing on the opry steps. I started singing their when I was about seven years old. The second picture is when I sang their a couple of weeks ago for there Christmas show. The third picture is of Day dancing on the stage. I love singing at the opry, especially singing with a live band. It is a lot of fun!

Flashback Friday

This post doesn't flash very far into the past. It is from last year. We had a toast for the first time. We only toasted with grape juice- just fyi. This pic shows just part of room. We are all starting to raise our glasses. It was alot of fun to go around the room and hear what everyone wanted to toast to. I am looking forward to doing it again this year.

Christmas Party - Preschool Style!

Today I had a Christmas party at preschool. It was alot of fun. We ate cookies, heard a Christmas story, danced for our parents, and even opened some presents! I even made mommy a present while I was at preschool. I am so lucky to have such a neat place, with caring helpers, and good friends to go to while mommy is busy.

Flashback Friday - Pictures with Santa

I decided for the Christmas theme flashback Friday that I needed some pictures with Santa. After looking through my computer, I couldn't decide which one to use so this will be a "picture with Santa" theme flashback. These are various photos of people with santa. I will try to put what I know of the picture under each picture.

This is Brandon and Jason with Santa!

This is me at the North Pole.

This is Dayona's first picture with Santa.

Hope you enjoyed the Santa Photos!

Flashback Friday

This is a photo of my sister and I in front of the Christmas Tree. I'm not sure what year its from. I think it was maybe 1991. Suprina, maybe you can help out on this one. Anyway I miss my sis and will not be able to see her this Christmas. We are eight years apart, and the older we get, the closer our relationship becomes. Also, I love the puffy bangs and curling ironed permed hair. Merry Christmas Sis!

Flashback Friday- Sort of

I named this post a sort of flashback because it is only from a year ago! I couldn't find any other Thanksgiving pics. I also included some from this year at Day's "school" to show how much Day has grown from last year to this year. Last year my family met at a restaurant here in town. It was nice that no one had to cook for Thanksgiving! This is my moms side of the family. I can't wait to see them all again this year. We are not having Thanksgiving with them until tomorrow. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Melinda, I can't wait until the next assignment! This is fun.

Tag, Daddy's it!

This post is all about my daddy.


My Daddy when he was little. I've heard he was a little ornery. There are lots of stories of how he used to climb, how independent he was, and how he was a free-spirited child. Mommy thinks I act like my daddy, something daddy secretly loves!

Daddy and mommy met on a blind date, and they got married 18 months later! Even though it was a blind date, they later realized that their grandpas served in the war together, and daddy had even played dominoes with mommy's grandpa.


Daddy is very much a country boy! He loves the small town life. He enjoys working outside, especially on a tractor. His favorite hobby is hunting. Mommy is in denial over this (she is an animal lover). The other thing he loves to do in his free time is play dominoes. On Monday nights he likes to go down to a convenience store about 10 miles from where we live and play dominoes with all the other men. Its kind of funny . Daddy is about 30-50 years younger than all the other players! He also loves OU football!



My daddy also loves his job. He operates a crane. This is from a job where he had to hoist guys up in a man basket so they could change out Christmas lights! Although none of us are happy about daddy's hours, we are very proud that he has a job that he loves. Its pretty cool!

Most importantly, my daddy loves me! Family is very important to him. He takes good care of our family, makes sure we go to church, and encourages mommy to follow her dreams. Thanks, Daddy!

Trick or Treat Part 2

Okay, so I know its a little late for this, but mommy took some pics with a disposable camera and didn't get the pics back until today. So here are the rest of my pics.

Trick or treat part 1

Thursday we had a Halloween party at school. We painted pumpkins, and did all sorts of fun stuff! I also went trick or treating on Saturday night. My cousin Tristan and I have always got our picture taken together on Halloween (well 2 times since this is only my second Halloween). I trick or treated my Great Grandma Coats and my Step Great Grandma Dixie. I also trick or treated my Nana Smallwood, and my Nana Byrd (along with my daddy's side of the family my Great Mema and Pepa Mullins and Great Grandma Byrd. While we were driving around town we noticed a very scary house. It was papa's friend Delton's house. We had to stop and take some pictures. There are alot of pics so here is the first set. Oh, and I hope you all like my kitty costume- MEEOW!
