OUR NEWEST FAMILY MEMBER
















Jensen Russel Gray was born on St. Patty's Day. It is so amazing to me the difference in first children and second. Though I am only a proud Auntie when I got the call that he was coming my eyes welled up with tears. What wonderful gifts these children are Riane, Tayauna, Jill, and Jensen!!! Oh how they change our family in such a wonderful way. They make us learn, grow and laugh. Congrats to Jenn and Russ and we cannot wait to get to know our little Jensen Gray

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DADDY


To Jordan HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Your laughter and smile have been missed in our home these past couple of months and I am counting down the days until we will be back together. You are special to me and each day we are apart I learn something else I appreciate more about you. You are a wonderful father and a great friend. I cannot wait to see you again. I love you and I miss you dearly. Have a great birthday

THIS FEELS LIKE A GIRLS NIGHT OUT





We took a trip to that other country (Portland) yesterday. We got to stay at Bogie's fish house, and go shopping for fun things for Ninny's new lake house. We sang songs in the car on the way down to Portland of course what would a trip with Ninny be with out a SLURPEE!!!! My child is corupted she calls Burger King that Dinner Place and I think that she has them all on her radar. Needless to say she had her kids meal and we were singing tunes and on our way. We got to the condo late and so we got in to jammies and got ready for bed. We had a orange juice and and a toast and went to bed, well tried to. An amped up Tater wanted toes painted (not really just pretend), and criss cross apple sauce, and make up on. She loved it and it was really fun...three gals on a themed girls night out "Under the Sea"

CHUNK E CHEESE






Our Ninny called and wanted to take us out for the big V Day!!!! After being cooped up in a house for a few days packing I decided that the best place to take a 2 year old was none other than to the
Chunkster himself!! That was one excited Tater she could not even eat her pizza. We started out on the little kid rides...then we moved on to the bus. Where she first was very nice taking a little girl for a ride quite a few times till her parents said that was enough. She slowly put almost every token in the "fun bus" all by her self why Ninny and I watched from a booth about two feet away. She moved on to Spirit the horse with about two tokens left after they were all gone she ate some pizza keeping an eye out for anyone who would share a ride on the fun bus with her and she would go bum a ride or two or three. Finally we had to tell her that was enough that we had to go no more bumming rides so nice of all to share their tokens with a bus riding Taty.

RITA TATER



While packing I decided that Tay needed to wear her seniorita dress I just wanted to see how darling she would look. She wasn't so darling at first but then we decided to take a trip to the bathroom and fix her lovely locks and the end result was pretty cute. She pranced around the house for quite some time as "Rita Tater."
