Josh's Birthday

Josh had a great birthday! We are trying to lay low this year in all the birthdays. We had dinner with my grandmother and mom. It was wonderful. Mom cooked Josh's favorite which is chicken fried steak. It was great, but a little much. Josh loved it and that is all that matters. For his birthday he got a radio for his Iphone and then Beetles rockband. Wow, the rockband is sooooooo much fun. We had a fun family night trying to play it. Trying is the best word, since we aren't really good at it. Oh well, we had fun and that is all that matters. Here are some pictures of the kids and Josh enjoying the rock band.

Karate Night at the Skipper House

One night we were sitting around and the kids starting playing karate. Josh found some caution tape, and the boys thought it was a good headband. So they both wore it around their heads.

Then Emma decided to show us some of her moves. She is such a mess, but oh she has been driving us nuts lately. I am beginning to wonder if it ever gets better. I am guessing we aren't the best parents and have a lot to learn. She is getting smarter britches, a mouth that is beginnning to tell stories and she calls it, and then starts trouble with her brother. I am going to start putting her on my prayer list everyday and hope that we don't have to deal with all of this when she becomes a teenager. Bless us if we do. So here are some of her moves.

A Day Out With Mom

The other day we went out with Mom. We had a blast. We went to the nail salon and Emma and Mom had their fingers done. Then we all had our toes done. It felt wonderful. They got a new chair that was just for little girls. Above the chair a sign hung princess. Yes, she thinks she is a princess. I guess she is, since she is really spoiled at times. Oh well, guess that is the fun in having a little girl. I love her! We love spending time with mom. Mom's feet are the really tan ones. Mine and Emma's are really white!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great day MOM. WE LOVE YOU!

Elephant Parade

This is their plate to start with. It was amazing to watch them eat dinner. Wow, they have a major appetite. The clowns said they eat about 250 lbs. of food a day. That is a lot of food.








Tonight we went to the Elephant Parade by the Ring. Brothers. The kids loved it. We sat down at the end of the parade, where they fed the elephants dinner. The disney radio channel was there also and they were handing out prizes. Emma thought it was really neat because she got to get a poster of the Johnas brothers. OH MY GOODNESS, there are some girls that are crazy over those boys. They even know when they were born. Guess I am not uptodate with them.

Dallas Cowboy Stadium

Last Sunday we went to go see the new Dallas Cowboy stadium. We had lots of fun. Wow, what a place. It is huge inside. The only dissappointment was that we couldn't go in and see a suite. I really wanted to see what they looked like on the inside. We went to the bottom floor and looked in the proshop. WOW, they sure are proud of their materials. Emma tried the stuff on and thought it was fun to take pictures with it. We didn't buy anything.

I thought this was SWEET! One day we went and took Cole to have his pictures made. We left and were headed to go get a bite to eat. While they were walking across the street, they both decided to hold each other's hands. They aren't always sweet to each other, so I had to capture the moment.

Emma on the trampoline

We went to the mall to buy some glasses. While we were there, Emma found this place where you can jump on this huge trampoline. She begged to jump. So eventually we gave in. She had a blast, but man we are in the wrong business. They charge $7.00 for five minutes to jump. What a price. Oh well, she had a fun. That is all that matters. So here are some pictures that are attached.
