EVERYONE WENT , JAN, THOMAS, RON, LITTLE JAMES AND JAMES. I CAME LATER WITH JENNY. MY DAD TOOK ME AND MY MOTHER OUT. IT WAS REALLY NICE.

Field Trip to the Lazy 5 Ranch

<

This place is a must visit if you live around here. It took us 1 hour to get there, about 1 1/2 for the bus to arrive. The class was able to see the whole place by way of the wagon. It was so cool. The Ranch has all kinds of animals. The only animals that was not able to roam around freely was the Giraffs, and the Rhino. Janet loved feeding all of the animals from Lamas to Bulls. Jenny even started to feed them as well. Jenny is going to be alot like Janet as far as animals go. She wasn't afraid of any of the animals. The Bulls kept on licking Jenny. It was so funny lil James laughed the whole time. James would not feed the animals. He just liked watching from afar. Mikenzy had a blast to. She got really embarresed when the cow licked her. I think it scared her. Tabitha and Myself, as well as her mom Becky just really enjoyed watching all the kids have such a great time. Everyone loved the whole trip. I hope that James and I can take the kids real soon, there was so much to see and do that we didn't have time for. Now that I know about it hopfully we can visit there once a year. I would like to take my neices and nephews in GA. (Cole, Jameson, Ivy).

JANET'S T-BALL

Janet has started playing t-ball it is so much fun. She really enjoys it. Her best friend Mikenzy is on the team with her. I think that is great. There team is undefeated so far and they are 4 games into the season. these pics are just a couple of the many hundred i have taken. James took me to Circut City a month or so ago and let me get a new camera with our tax refund. It is a professional camera, and let me say it is awesome. I didn't know how good pictures could turn out intill i started playing this amazing piece of equipment. WOW is all I know to say.

Strickland update from N.C.

I can not believe that the school year is almost over. My baby is going to be in first grade next year. That just blows me away. The twins are 15 months old, and walking, talking. life is just flying bye. It really sucks. I am going to be lost when my babies are grown. Janet is playing T-Ball and loving it. She does so well. She sccored her first homerun last Tuesday night. That was only her second game. I love cheering her on. It is a great feeling. I will defintly be a Socccer mom. Janet's best friend Mikenzy is on her team they play side by side in the out field. They are also in batting order together. The two of them have done several milestones in their life together. Tabitha(Mikenzy's mom) and I are going to have them put together next year in first grade. They have shared the last two years together and we both have been told by their teachers to try and keep them together. I hope that they stay life long friends. I always thought it would have been cool to have that one friend who was there thru it all. the bond they will have no one can break. I have made it through spring semester with all A's and one B in algebra. It was a miracle. Summer starts in two weeks. And I have a full load again. I am doing have of them online which makes it a little easier.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY BABIES

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JAMES AND JENNY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT IS ALREADY A YEAR LATER. BOY THE TIME HAS FLEW BY. NOW THE TWO OF YOU ARE WALKING , TALKING, ALMOST RUNNING. I LOVE CHASING YOU BOTH THRU THE HOUSE. JANET HATES THE FACT THAT YOU BOTH ARE WALKING, BECAUSE THE BOTH YOU ARE ALWAYS GETTING INTO ALL OF HER STUFF AND IT JUST KILLS HER. SHE CAN'T TURN HER BACK WITHOUT YOU BOTH DOING SOMETHING. SO MUCH FUN. I LOVE IT THE 3 OF YOU ARE MY LIFE.

James at presby

I had to start my blog with these pics. There is nothing as cute as this.

James was so tough just like his daddy. He only cried two times during his

stay. I could not believe how brave he was. If you couldn't see his eye

you would have never known he was sick. He is my little HERO.
