On The Border Celebration

Happy Birthday to my sister Rhonda (on May 30th)! We celebrated with a family get together at On The Border this afternoon. GREAT fun! Of course, I had a couple of GRANDE margaritas! Hey, Brandon was driving, so it was okay! We had a great time. Our waiter was very gracious, considering there were 11 of us! The twins were unable to go because they both had to work, and my sister-in-law, Sandy, had a scrapbooking class so she was unable to join us. But the rest of us had a great time - great food - great family time! We're already planning our July 4th get-together. It's nice that July 4th falls on a Friday this year!

Here is a picture of the birthday girl:Here is my baby brother Mike and the birthday girl:Here's is Corby and Brandon:Here is my nephew Nick and my mom:Here is my little sister Marilyn and her significant other Mark. Not the greatest picture, but I had to get them in on this blog.And last, but not least (notice how I managed to stay out of the photos since I was taking them?) is my sister-in-law Diana and brothers Mike and Terry (Jim Bob):Here's the story on Jim Bob - his given name is James Terry, but he was always Terry growing up. Once he hit high school and then college, he started going by Jim, but I absolutely cannot call him Jim - he is Terry and will always be Terry. Several years ago, when his wife Sandy was calling him Jim (she tries to remember to call him Terry when she is around us) I decided to call him Jim Bob. So that's where the Jim Bob name came from. Hey - it's a good Kansas name. Corby's step-dad's brother, who lives in Oklahoma, is named Joe Bob - and that's his real name. At least Terry's "Jim Bob" is fake!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
