Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is Mom's 76th birthday. We had girl's night (Plus Daddy & Royal) with dinner at Hooligans and then the casino. I didn't go to the casino but brought Daddy home. I'm NEVER lucky at the slot machines so I'd rather spend my money on shoes. Mom wins quite a bit and Pequitta is VERY lucky. I guess the Lord knows that I'd spend way too much time there if I ever won:)
Zoey was very cute at dinner. Victoria had her dancing on the table. We were the only ones in that area so it was FINE. She is talking a lot and has her own mind. I think it is hilarious but then I don't have to live with her. She was very happy to see her Tula (Victoria). We were at Holligans for over an hour and she was very well behaved. She's a good kid.
Leann is in town for the next three weeks. We are assessing for national boards. It will be great to have her here that long. I'm sure she'll go home on the weekends. Phil is such a baby-JK

Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains...

Well, we didn't have much damage at our house but Beth's mailbox was ripped out of the ground. We had power issues at church but Wade didn't let that stop him:) Wade (our pastor) is teaching a series about the perceptions that people 18-30somethings have about Christians and Christianity. Next Sunday will be about homosexuality. That should be interesting. This Sunday's was about NOT being a hypocrite. He had some really good points so if you are interested you could probably find it on the web. Wade Hodgins or Garnett Church of Christ. Something similar will probably get you to it.
Wyatt is finally back home. He spent most of last week with one of his buddies. Well, they were all at Scott's house b/c Scott left this morning for basic training with the Marine Corp. Ray was suppose to leave too but broke his foot playing football this past weekend. He's limping around on crutches.
Ethan had a basketball game this evening. They won by about 10. I think it was Union that they played. I forget how much I love watching him play until that first game after a break. His defense was awesome. He hasn't been shooting baskets so he'll have to get back into the swing of offense. He will have basketball camps this summer. I think he's going to the OSU basketball and baseball camps. I'm glad I'm going to be assessing. He's not a cheap date....
Clint and I are volunteering at a summer reading program through Garnett. Today's class was cancelled b/c of the power outages and tomorrow is also cancelled. Maybe they'll have everything back open by Wednesday. I did get some things done today though. Some junk hauled off, lots more still left.
