First Day of Enrichment

This year as we begin homeschooling, we decided to place the kids in enrichment programs one day a week. Eric attends a local preschool's Friday enrichment program and Anna attends a school that is just for home schooled students. While Anna attends a full-day, Eric is just there for the morning and Daniel and I usually head to the YMCA so I can workout unless we have an errand to run. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids getting ready for their first day away from Mom!

Too Much

Okay folks, it has been fun to go through photos for the year, but it is just taking too long. I want to be ready to post current pictures for Kevin and others around the country to see what is going on with us. You'll just have to forgive me for not continuing to catch up on our life.

Love ya all!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

I don't think I need to add much text with these pictures. Daniel is BY FAR the "busiest" of our three little ones. Here you can see what happens when someone, other than him, gets a bath!



And yes, he is fully clothed!

Happy Easter

Yes, I know it is almost Halloween, but I found these awfully cute pictures to post. I promise, I won't post EVERYTHING that happened this year, but it will be tough!

Great Daddy

I have had the privilege of living 38 years with two of the finest men for Grandfathers. My sweet,sweet Grand Daddy J.T. Simpson went to heaven in 2006. My equally sweet Grand Daddy, also now known as Great Daddy, is still very much alive and LOVES his family more than anything in this world. Clyde Cook is the kind of man we all wish our little boys will grow up to be. He has worked very hard all of his life to give his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren the best he could give us. He is both loyal and loving. He has a great mind and has "invented" some fantastic things in his life, both at work and around the house. There are many times when I think what he could have accomplished if he had the benefit of a college education instead of the middle-school one he received as the son of a share cropper. He is one-of-a kind and I am so fortunate to have him on my side. He is from a generation that we all could learn something from. The generation that loved family above all else, knew that hard work was necessary and that you should treat others as you want to be treated.

During this trip home, we were able to spend some time with Great Momma and Great Daddy. Here are a couple of pictures of this precious man!

Back Tracking

Okay, I skipped months of blogging and want to do a little "catch-up" before I post the current stuff. However, I need to get all these back photos up so I can keep the blog current for Dad.

These are all pictures from our fun trip to visit cousins, Jake and Brady back in March of this year. All of the kids had SO MUCH FUN!!
