Panther of the Quarter

Darrell and I are proud as can be! First Shawna was Panther of the Month, and now Annie is Panther of the Quarter! We have such great kids! We are so proud of you guys!

No school...

Since the girls and boys had a couple days out of school we got together with Bryan and Becky and took our kids to the aquarium and oh what fun!

Lauren, not excited about touching the sting ray,
But the other kids were all for it!

Riding the frog...

After the aquarium we went to the mall food court for lunch

and a ride on the carousel before heading home

for some naptime! (at least I think

Bryan and the girls got naps, we on the other hand

went to my house and played Super Mario WII for the next

several hours!)

WHAT A FUN DAY! I'm so thankful that I have siblings and nieces and nephews

that I want to spend time with! I LOVE IT!

AND FYI... If you're looking for a great membership I recommend the aquarium, you only have to go twice to pay for it. Adults is $18 and children $14 for the year (while it's $9 and $7 and children are anyone between 3 ant 17!) It's a great deal!

Head Wraps...

I took a Knitted Head Wraps class with my friend Kristen, they're the wraps you see everyone wearing now with the cute little knitted flowers on them. She's going to be making and selling them (her prices are great!) so if anyone is interested let me know! The flowers are detachable so you can have many flowers and move them amongst your different bands, also they're on barretts so you can put the flower in your hair w/o the band. They can be special ordered in any color and only take a few days to complete!

Here are her prices:

*Headbands and flowers are sold seperately.

Headbands

1 for $15

2 for $25

Flowers

1 for $4

2 for $7

3 for $9

*Flowers can be any combination of colors and knitted or crocheted

She's working on a child's headband right now...

Pictures and prices are soon to come on those!

Darrell's Christmas Surprise!

This is what had me so darn excited for Christmas this year! This man is so hard to buy for and even harder to surprise!

The whole time Darrell was opening his present he thought it was pictures of the girls

He was soooo sure this was a picture of the girls he took forever holding it like this talking about it before he finally took a peek! It was driving me nuts! I just wanted so badly for him to see what surprise we had planned for him! This is a picture of Darrell's Gramps during his service. My good friend Brett Taylor was so kind to frame these pics, the flag from Gramps funeral and a Doille Darrell's Aunt LaRae made for us year ago. Darrell was so surprised and excited! Thanks so much Brett! You did an awesome job and I love the way it all turned out!

on a side note, if anyone needs framing let me know! I'm happy to give you Brett's phone number, he does beautiful work and he's very reasonablly priced too!
