Here is my Best Friend. I got the birthday gift of a life time my getting to see this smile. Angie as you all know got married Sept 2003 to her wonderful husband Nick who had recentally got a job in Omaha after graduating here at the UofA. So after the wedding she left to be with the love of her life. That was fine I am very happy for her and very thankful that I am close enough to go visit. It was only 449 miles which I found out I can make good time in getting there. :) Let me tell you I flew there and home. That was a trip I will make again very soon. Thank you Nick and Angie for a great trip and a wonderful birthday. It was the most wonderful birthday of my life. (well, putting aside that I turned 27yrs old. I love you guys
Fun at Dundee Days, we did a little shopping here then had snowcones and watched this band perform. They were really good.
Here we are getting a fun but painful massage at the mall. We put dollars in and starting saying, " ouch this really hurts" But we did get to revive our feet and do more shopping.
The best birthday cake in the world. Thank you so much Nick for sneaking that in to Angie. Now you might see how the candles have already been used. Not by someone else but by me. Angies camera stopped while I was blowing them out the first time so we had to light them again and I had to make another wish and blow them out. I was glad that her camera worked that time or we would have been lighting and blowing them all night.

What's been going on..............
Hunter has started the 4th grade and is going great. He rotates with four teachers this year. This is his last year in the upper elementary and he will be in middle school next year and will have six glasses. I hope this year really gets him ready for that. He also has started football. Yesterday was his first practice of tackling. He did really good. He will be 9yrs old this September and is looking forward to having his cousin from Hot Springs come and stay that weekend. We are going to take them to the Gentry Zoo for his birthday were they can ride camels and hold baby tigers and monkeys. That will be a lot of fun for him. I will post pics of that as soon as they are ready.
Anthony has started the 2nd grade and this will be his last year in lower elementary. He will be in the upper elementary next year. Anthony has just finished his first year of baseball and was very excited to have his first trophy. He says he doesn't want to play football but that doesn't start til 4th grade so maybe he will change his mind by then. He did say that he wants to square dance next year, which is very popular in Prairie Grove. I think he will do good in that. The boy loves to dance. I think he gets that from his Aunt Angie. Anthony stays very busy taking care of Jack his iguana. That is an everyday task for him and I think it is teaching him good responsibilities.
Ken has been very busy at work. The optical labs get very busy when back to school comes around. All the kids need new glasses or glasses for the first time. He has said that he wants a puppy for Christmas and I will be doing lots of looking. I think we will be getting an English Bulldog. I just love those and they seem really laid back much like my husband. I just don't know how MaryJane will take to that since she is the queen of the house at the moment. I am sure they will all adjust.
MaryJane spends most of her days sleeping. But, when she is not sleeping she spends them waiting for one of the boys to open their bedroom doors. She knows that they have lizards in there and she wants them bad. Jack (the iguana) did get loose for a couple of days but managed to stay out of her way. But Spot (the gecko) doesn't stand a chance if he gets loose. When she is not busy lizard watching she likes to hide under the dinner table and grab me as I walk by. She really loves to play unless you want to play first then she is not so interested in it. She is every bit of female.
And as for me, I have been taking care of lizards, cats, boys, my house, and my husband. I have been very busy at work as well which goes without saying since I also work in the optical department. I work in optical insurance and it is very nerve racking at this time of year. Everyone has different insurance and they all want to come to Wal-Mart. Good for business but not for my mind. :) I do work with a very well insurance team and we get the work done but, who's to say its easy. My birthday is on Saturday and I will be turning 27yrs old on the 27th. Sounds like my "Golden Birthday" I will be going to Omaha to see my best friend Angie. I cant wait to see her. I will post lots of pics of the two of us sight seeing. I love all of you guys and will be posting more pics soon.
