Labor Day

We spent Labor Day holiday in Snyder, TX with Jeremiah, Kasey and Mabry. We went to a Snyder football game on Friday night, Kasey, Mabry and I went antique shopping - we had fun and bought a few things. Kasey bought a cute little table and two chairs for their front porch. They guys worked on a project at home. Sunday was church and a cookout. We had a great visit and are making plans for the holidays - already!! Mabry is sure growing and I expect she will be crawling next time we see her.

Brody update

Matt, Jaclyn & Brody stopped by Sunday on their way home from Sedalia. Brody is sure growing - he is so funny. He just laughs and he lights up when he sees his Daddy.

I'm back

Well it has been a busy August and I finally have some time to update my blog. We drove to Tulsa on Sunday, August 16 to meet up with Kasey and Mabry. We have a great visit - had lunch and did some shopping. It was so good to see them again. Jeremiah was not able to come due to work but it was really good to see the girls again. We are planning a trip to Texas soon. More pictures to come. Here are some picture of Mabry taken in Tulsa.

Blue Ribbons

Ken won several blue ribbons for his artwork at the fair. He entered an eagle, a tractor and an owl. He is such a good artist.

Prize winning cake

Last year I entered the "Weird Chocolate Cake" contest at the Ozark Empire Fair. Didn't place. This year I tried it again. After making several cakes and sharing them with my office and Ken's office - I entered a "Black Bean Chocolate Cake" and won first place. Yeah!! I had a lot of fun experimenting with different cakes and both offices had fun eating them. I've already begun thinking about next years cake.

Ozark Empire Fair

Brody made his first trip to the Ozark Empire Fair. Although he did sleep through most of it he did wake up in time to enjoy some of it. We had a great time - looking at all the exhibits and all Ken's blue ribbons. Enjoyed corn dogs, McAlister's Tea and Hiland ice cream. Yum! Oh - I forgot the turkey leg. We had a great time.

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted. Things have been pretty crazy. We are in the last two weeks of summer school and everything is due NOW!! Work is semi-quiet but still busy. We are busy with the garden and yard so it never ends. Ken is in training for the MS150 bike ride in September. Bailey and I are taking lots of walks and enjoying the summer. I have babysit Brody several times - he is so much fun and entertaining. I'm planning a trip to Snyder to see Jeremiah, Kasey and Mabry in late August. Can't wait to see all of them and their new house. I know they have been working hard. Well - enough for now.
