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!
