Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day we picked up Maison and Abey to help us deliver Valentine's Day baskets to some of the widows and singles from church. They were glad to see us. We had a wonderful time giving them the baskets.

Bowling!

Yesterday we took the twins bowling for the first time. They had a lot of fun. Peyton got a strike. I beat Caden by 1 pin and the twins only lost by 5 pins. After that we went to Wendy's for lunch and then we had to say goodbye till Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun.

Peyton and Connor

Today Tad and Michelle came to our house with my cousins named Peyton and Connor. They had fun playing with the cat. They would take the yo-yo string and run around and Ginger the cat would chase it. We had fun playing with them. Connor is the one that posed for the picture while his brother was too busy playing with the cat

Grandma and Grandpa's house

Yesterday after church, we went and got sandwiches for everybody at church and then had another lesson in the afternoon. We went to mygrandparents' house to celebrate my Uncle Dave, Aunt Michelle, and my grandmas birthdays. My Uncle Tad came from Ohio with Aunt Michelle and my twin cousins (they are three) and another baby coming in September. We had a great time! In the pictures are Grandma with her birthday cupcake, Grandma and her new earmuffs for her trip to go see her sister in Minnesota, and Peyton at the table.

Banquet

Saturday night I went to the Quail Unlimited banquet (my dad is part of the board for Quail Unlimited). They restore habitat for upland birds. My best friend Austin came to. My dad won a pocket knife and gave it to me. I had a great time.

My Favorite Cats

Here are some of my favorite cats (all three of them are mine). The black one is named

Blackie(she is VERY skittish). The striped one is Katie. The orange one is Mystery-- she is the one that someone smashed in the car door (ask my mom about that). :-) I have raised Katie from a young cat . She has had 4 litters of kittens-- 2 litters died. One of her litters has both Mystery's and Blackie's mothers in it. Angel is Mystery's mother and I gave Angel to Caden. Blackie's mother I had to give away in order to keep Blackie. (Dad's rules)

My Baseball Quilt!

We went out to lunch with Kathy, and her friend Robin. Kathy is a friend that we met doing craft shows with mom. We were going to be in town getting our haircuts, and Caden e-mailed her and told her we were getting our haircuts at 11:00 and then wanted to meet her for lunch. Kathy wrote back and said that was funny because she was going for a haircut, too, at 10:30. What we all didn't know is that the same person at the same place cut her hair and ours and has for a long time! She wasn't there when we got there, but Michael, who cuts are hair said that Kathy started talking about us, and she knew right away who Kathy was talking about! Michael had even told her how much we loved the fruit snacks she gives us, so Kathy went and got each of us a whole box of fruit snacks and brought them to lunch. We went to eat at Schlotsky's, and to my surprise, she gave me a baseball quilt that she made because she already had given a football quilt at a craft show.
