After you read this post you'll know what your name means, or at least where it comes from - starting from Grandpa Keith (and Grandma Marti of course) down to his kids to their kids. If you see your name and only see where it came from it means it came from there, but it has no meaning. If you don't see your name, don't think I've forgotten you, just some names don't have meanings. Sorry if I spelled your name wrong too, I did my best!!! Keith= (Scottish) Martha=(Aramaic) a lady...

Alice had a tap dancing recital last Saturday.  Like the silly, hormonal pregnant mess that I was...I cried happy tears.  She had a great time and you can see on her face that she's enjoying herself.  Thanks to Brad and Brittney who came up for the show.  That made her feel really special.  By the way, they dance to the song Bear Necessities from the Disney film The Jungle Book.  Their costumes are supposed to be bears. 

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads in our family. xoxo

Four fabulous family faves have birthdays in June! We started with our handsome, talented, and brilliant Henry who celebrated his 8th birthday on June 6. We're looking forward to his baptism in a few days. Next, "the girl" celebrated a milestone birthday looking far too young and beautiful for anyone to notice that she recently swallowed a Volkswagon. We end this month's celebrations with two more milestone birthdays - both on the 23rd. Sweet, lovely, and talented Jane turns 12...

Last Sunday Mom had a great idea "Let's go for a walk." Since it was about a 100 degrees outside for the last couple days, she said that we should go after we ate dinner when the heat cooled off a little bit. Around 6:30, we popped into the car faster than popcorn and drove to the park. We still had a lot of energy left so we went to an hotel/apartment complex/strip mall combo area with plenty shaded sidewalks and a beautiful pond in the middle of it. We brought chips and a couple of...

A couple weeks ago, on a Wednesday, Mom found a turtle. She was about to pull out of a parking lot of a strip mall onto the main road when she saw a turtle crossing the road. She thought that he would go in his shell or turn around when she moved a little closer. But when she got closer, the turtle just kept moving. Mom thought that if he kept moving, he would get ran over by her or someone else. So she took him in the car and drove home. She built a cage from our patio furniture in our backyard...

On June 5th, our summer vacation began down here in Plano. That was the last day of school. Not only that, but it was early release!!! I waited all of the school year to finally get my three month break. Once the bell rang for the end of school, I sprinted out of that place. I waited forever for this moment. I then waited forever to have Mom pick Helen and I up from the last day of school. One forever later, Mom picked us up. We skedaddled to the car, and told Mom to step on it. Mom looked at me...

So as you know I love to workout and stay somewhat in shape. I have made several post about the things that I have done over the years. Well nothing has changed about me. While in in Oklahoma City I found this work out group called Operation Boot Camp. They meet daily at a local park early in the morning. So I thought what a great way to get me out of bed and get my day started while I wait for Brad. We started the camp by doing a PT test 3 weeks ago. Now the camp is supposed to run for 4 weeks,...
