MY ANGELS

GAY AND JERRY GOT US THIS FABULOUS NEW CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS. IT WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE. THE OTHER ONE MAKES BLURRY PHOTOS AND THIS ONE IS TOP OF THE LINE. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PICTURES I CAPTURED OF THE BOYS WITH MY NEW CAMERA. THEY ARE ACTUALLY TOGETHER, NOT FIGHTING, AND SMILING. LOVE IT!!

CHARACATURE DRAWINGS OF THE BOYS THAT KYLE GOT DONE FOR ME FOR CHRISTMAS

HERE ARE MY BOYS. LUKE'S PHOTO WAS DONE IN A SOCCER THEME AND MILES' PICTURE WITH HIS BASEBALL EQUIPMENT. OUR FRIEND, RICH, DOES THESE DRAWINGS. KYLE TOOK HIM A COUPLE OF PICS OF THE BOYS AND LOOK WHAT I ENDED UP WITH. THEY ARE TOO CUTE AND HANGING IN THEIR ROOMS.

CANDACE'S BABY SHOWER

KARLA FLOYD HAD A BABY SHOWER FOR CANDACE AT HER HOUSE. WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT HER BUNDLE OF JOY TO BE. HAD A GREAT TIME VISITING WITH THE GIRLS. NEVER GET TO SEE MICHELLE NOW THAT SHE HAS DEFECTED TO ALABAMA. SO EXCITED FOR CANDACE AND KARLA HAS A BEAUTIFUL HOME.

HAPPY 30TH, KYLE

SINCE KYLE'S PASSION IS MOVIES, WE DECIDED TO HAVE HIM A 80'S MOVIE THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY. EVERYONE DRESSED AS AN 80'S MOVIE CHARACTER. OF COURSE I WAS GLENN CLOSE FROM FATAL ATTRACTION (FULLY EQUIPPED WITH RABBIT AND BANDAGES AROUND MY WRIST) AND KYLE WAS TOM CRUISE FROM RISKY BUSINESS. GAY CAME AS DOLLY PARTON FROM 9 TO 5 AND JERRY WAS DARTH VADAR. ANGEL WAS MADONNA FROM DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN, DANIEL WAS BOOGER FROM REVENGE OF THE NERDS, SUSAN WAS CYNDI LAUPER FROM GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN, SABRINA WAS A CHARACTER FROM FLASHDANCE, AND SMITTY CAME AS HIMSELF.....OF COURSE....THE AMERICAN GIGILO. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. PLAYED A NICE GAME OF BUNKO AND GAVE OUT MOVIE RELATED PRIZES.

MILES' FIELD TRIP TO LOST RIVER CAVE

WE WENT ON A FIELD TRIP TO THE LOST RIVER CAVE IN KENTUCKY. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. THE KIDS GOT TO DO EXPERIMENTS WITH ROCKS AND MINERALS, RIDE THE BOAT IN THE CAVE, HAVE A PICNIC LUNCH, AND SHOP IN THE GIFT SHOP. WE GOT TO SEE A SMALL BAT IN THE CAVE AND GOT "CAVE KISSES" FROM THE DROPS OF WATER FALLING FROM THE CAVE CEILING. BY THE WAY, THIS IS MILES' GIRLFRIEND IN THE PINK JACKET...HER NAME IS MAGGIE.

GIVING DADDY A LITTLE SHAVE

LUKE AND MILES FORCED KYLE INTO THE RECLINER AND DECIDED TO TAKE THEIR PLAY SHAVING KIT AND GO TO TOWN. LUKE EVEN GOT OUT THE SQUIRT BOTTLE FOR ADDED EFFECT. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE SHAVE...BEFORE IT WAS OVER....HE HAD IT ALL OVER HIS FACE. THEY LOVED IT AND WE GOT LOTS OF LAUGHS OUT OF IT.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE 2 OPTIMUS PRIMES

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE WANSTRATHS. THE BOYS DECIDED TO BE TRANSFORMERS THIS YEAR. LUKE WAS GOING TO BE BUMBLEBEE BUT ONCE WE GOT IN THE STORE HE HAD TO BE WHAT HIS BUBBY WAS. THEY WERE ADORABLE. WE WENT TRICK OR TREATING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH BUDMAN, GIGI, AND DADDY. AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO NENE AND PAW PAW'S FOR DINNER AND HIT SOME MORE HOUSES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH CANDY. FUN NIGHT.

LUKE'S MOTHER'S DAY OUT CLASS

TODAY WAS FIRETRUCK AND FIRE SAFETY DAY . I WENT UP TO GET SOME PICTURES BUT THE TRUCK WAS DELAYED. INSTEAD, I WENT TO MUSIC CLASS AND WATCHED THE CLASS PRACTICE FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS MUSICAL. LUKE NEVER SANG A WORD AND DIDNT MOVE FROM HIS "SPECIAL SPOT" ON THE FLOOR. IT WAS CUTE TO WATCH THOUGH.

SUSAN'S BABY SHOWER

WE HAD A BABY SHOWER FOR SUSAN AT ANGEL'S HOUSE TO GET READY FOR THE ARRIVAL OF NEW BABY KAYLEIGH MARIE. WE HAD A NICE TIME AND ANGEL PREPARED SOME AWESOME FOOD. KENNEDI CAME AND OPENED HER BIG SISTER PRESENTS. LOVE MY GIRLFRIENDS.

LUKE'S FIRST SPORT....GO ORANGE CRUSH

LUKE SIGNED UP FOR FALL SOCCER THIS SEASON. WE DIDNT KNOW HOW WELL HE WOULD DO....HE IS VERY SHY. TURNS OUT....NOT HALF BAD FOR HIS FIRST LITTLE GO AROUND. DADDY WAS HIS COACH AND WE HAD 5 TEAMMATES...MADDIE WAS EVEN ON OUR TEAM. LUKE SCORED A GOAL THE FIRST GAME AND WE WERE SO PROUD. HE LIKED THE FIRST FEW GAMES BUT ONCE THE EARLY COLD SNAP HIT, HE WAS PRETTY MUCH OVER IT AND HE WAS HOLDING OUT FOR HIS TROPHY. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND I LOVED WATCHING HIM. MOST OF THE TIME HE JUST TROTTED ALONG BEHIND EVERYONE. ATLEAST THERE WERE NO TEARS AND HE DID WHAT COACH DADDY TOLD HIM TO DO.
