More Travels

After going to Newgen's, we came home and spent another 3 nights there. Then, Wednesday was my niece's birthday and Jayme was throwing her a shindig in Wichita. So we left to go to Wichita again.

Jayme did a good job with the party. There were about 20 people there, some family, some coworkers, and some friends. It was a nice time. There was plenty of food (not unexpected) and Jayme even frosted Nicole her own princess cake! But... one of the dogs (Atari?) got on the table and ate about 1/3 of it! She was so mad (as she should have been). But she cut off the dog part, so we could still she how hard she worked, and mom bought one from Wal-mart or something to replace it. Silly dogs.


I made her her red dress for her birthday. It was rather large on the small child. But that just means she can wear it for a while. Well, after the party, we all hung around for a day and then Thursday, I went shopping to buy and outfit for my interview on Monday.

We left on Thursday after meeting up with Rhonda and Michelle in Wichita for dinner. It was a nice short trip.

Then Saturday was our 6 year wedding anniversary! Mom bought us a cake and candle so we lit it and ate some cake. How cute. After eating the cake, we packed up the car and went to Wichita (again). We figured it would make our drive to Tulsa on Sunday a little bit shorter.

Flaming Holes

Last Monday (a week ago) was Jenette's birthday. So while Rhonda and Michelle were here, we had a little shin-dig, complete with fire.

Then this Saturday, we played a fantabulous game of disc golf pairs. Chris had an awesome shot to get him a two on one hole. It just sat there, in the middle of the hole. (The hole that it's supposed to go through.)

Finally, my adventures in knitting have taken me this far. That yarn that I got in a few weeks ago has been turned into the bottom of a bag. With only 2 minor errors it's going along well.

A New Holy Baby Part 2

On Sunday, the weather was kinda crummy. But, Catholic churches don't cancel their masses (apparently) and we had a baptism to go to. So, just about all of us drove out to the church ususally 30 minutes away (it took us 50). We were a pleasant 30 minutes late to the service.

Afterwards, Baby Nicole was baptized. That was the reason that my family came out now and not some other time. It was a fine ceremony. Jayme made the baby's dress, so that is worth a pat on the back for her. *pat, pat*

After that we drove back to Mom's and about 36 people all together came by to eat with us and have a nice time. While taking some pictures, Nicole decided she wanted to explore that white and pink thing in front of her. So she kinda played with the icing on her cake. She put her hands on it and picked up some of it (accidentally I think). She put her cakey hands up to her face and then squeezed. All the icing oozed out between her fingers. Pretty fun.

That night, Maria and I decorated Dakoda. She let us tie 3 strips of crepe paper to her. The one on her nose didn't last very long.

Baby Nicole is so cute. I really enjoy seeing her. I look forward to when she is old enough to play with and talk to. You done good, Jay.
