Happy Birthday Angie!

Hope you have a great day!
It's been a while since I've posted but I check it out almost daily.
Glad you all had a great vacation.
You will have to post some pictures.
Angie your letter was good and I'm glad you are having fun with your Christmas box.
We still have to come up with a place to have it.
Someone was telling me that we can rent a hotel party room but it's only 4 hours.
I don't know if that is enough time for all I have planned.
I have lots of games, we all will be opening 12 gifts each, all the kids have gifts, stockings, prizes.
I wanted everyone to bring a dish so we can all enjoy a meal together.
I just don't think 4 hours is long enough.
I need all of you to help me in finding a place so we can get it booked.
On Phyllis' 60th birthday, I rented a cabin in Carlyle Il.
There were about 10 of us who all went in on it so it was cheap.
It was like 30.00 ea. for 2 nights.
They are open all year round.
They have double wide mobile homes, singles, cabins and a couple of houses.
I will send you the info and let me know what you think it.
I'm sure one or two of us will probably have an opinion about putting out any money BUT for a group this size, we're going to have to pay wherever we go.
We'll come up with something!

Greg won a contest and gets to ride or drive, I'm not sure which.....at Gateway this weekend.
He gets 4 hour with one of the race car drivers.
Right up your alley Angie!

Saturday is Joey's birthday.
I have a couple different plans for her.

Alex is doing great.
All he does is eat and lucky if he weighs 50 pounds at 8 years old.

Danny and I are doing great.
Staying busy and staying in because the heat is on!

I've bored you enough so I will talk to you later!
Love, Aunt Kay

Still laughing @ Angie newsletter

Hey, hey all! Everyone is doing great here in the White House. We just got back from vacation Friday...what a blast that was!!! Great job on the newsletter Angie! Hope all is well w/everyone!

Amy

P.S.

Here's a picture of my family on the beach...

Where is everyone?

So, what is going on? Where is everyone? I think Danny, Chris & Joey follow this blog too!

So lets hear from you! How is work? Do you have any vacation plans? So far, it's just been me, Angie, & Kay to do the posting... Amy has been following too, but she's always on Facebook, which I don't like. I'll get her to post on here (or on her blog) real soon!

My kids are out of school. Their last day was Friday. We had a BBQ here on Monday, but we were stuck in the barn b/c of the rain. I worked on Tuesday & today we cleaned the house & cleaned out the camper. We leave next Thursday to camp in Gulf Shores, Al!

Vacation here we come! We'll be there for 10 days, & you can be sure I'll be posting pictures on my blog. (http://www.6ofusbakers.blogspot.com/) My parents, Jeff's parents, & Amy & Michael are going to. The picture shown above was taken in June 2007 when we went. Doesn't dad look like a Hawaiian tropic model? He oiled himself up like every 20 minutes! The only reason we didn't go last year is b/c I was 8 mos pregnant. I love Gulf Shores! Have a happy day! :)

So, who's doing the June newsletter???????

American Idol & quotes

So, I'm not an Idol watcher, well, except for the last 5 minutes of the results show, but I was really STUNNED that Danny went home. I really thought it would be him & Adam in the finale.
Weird.... So, I'm guessing Adam will win. Bummer....

Biggest Loser was awesome - Helen, Mike & Tara looked unbelievable! Can't wait for next season!

I was on facebook today & one of my friends had posted this saying:
"If you put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price."

Isn't that amazing! Self esteem, empowerment, success - they all start with how you view yourself. I think this statement is great. Remember that you were created just the way you are because God doesn't make mistakes. We are perfect, created in HIS image. So, that tells me I'm priceless!

Love you all!
April

Updates!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! I am so pumped about the finale of biggest loser!
I love all the remaining people! Whoever wins deserves it! They all look great!

As for AI, I agree with Kay, I think Adam was in the "bottom" for show, to make the crowd on the edge of their seat. I hope Danny or the girl (don't know her name) wins. Adam (aka "the Screamer") is not my type musically speaking.

Okay, so I am so pumped! My website is officially up!!!! The only page still under construction is "shoe/pacifier bronzing". Everything else works. Check it out & let me know what you think!
On the slings, I do slings for little girls too so they can hold their dolls & stuff.... So cute! :)

Love ya'll!
How is grandma?
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Happy Birthday Alex!

Happy Birthday April!

Sorry I'm a day late.
I have really been a busy woman lately.
We had a subdivision sale last weekend so I have been cleaning out my basement.
There is still a lot of stuff I didn't even get to.
It's hard to stay in and clean on your days off work.

Anyway.....Tell the kids I will be sending out another letter probably this week.
I will call them between May 15th, 16th and 17th.
I need last months answers from Cameron and Collin so they will have 10 questions to answer.

Angie, as far as American Idol.......Adam was only in the bottom 3 because Simon don't want him to think he's got it in the bag.
He's been 1st every week and he knows it.
I will admit last week, Danny was the best of all of them.
This week is Rock-N-Roll so I think Adam will take off with it.

April, On Biggest loser, isn't it amazing how they look now?
Tara and Helen don't even look like the same people.

Happy Spring!
Love

Happy May!

Hello everyone!
It's been a while since someone has been on here so I thought I'd write a few lines....
I updated the birthday list, & made a header (hope you like it!)
I needed a change to that old background....
I am so glad spring is here! I love having the windows open & hearing the insects outside at night. It reminds me of camping.
We must all be busy, because Angie was a blogging machine there for a while, now she's updating maybe once every week or two like me.
Only 15 more days of school & summer break starts! I can't wait b/c that means we are getting closer to vacation. GULF SHORES HERE WE COME!
Somebody post something soon! I need to hear from someone!

April
