Timmy and the Girls.

No, Timmy is not wearing a dress. He is wearing a Kilt. We did tease him fiercely. I did try to flip his kilt. Hey I am the older sister we are suppose to tease the younger siblings.

Timmy's Wedding!

Here are my angels. They had so much fun at the Inn.

Sami loved her dress. She also enjoyed getting everyone to dance the Mocarana(Spelling) at the reception. She was putting on the moves.

My quiet little Hannah enjoyed playing the old organ inside the Inn. The innkeeper was impressed that she could play. She also helped the caterer prepare dinner and set the tables.

Micaela entertained everyone with her dancing and kept the boys hopping. She danced the robot and ballet while everyone waited for the bride and groom to come out of the suite. Hmmm how long were they up there? Enough to have the DJ ask them to come down and join their guests. LOL

Hannah playing the organ that was an original to the house. She was a great help to everyone.

The Groome's Inn in North Carolina. Timmy and the girls. They loved being with him.

'Little Brother' and neices

Uncle Timmy and the girls during July 4th weekend! The girls had so much fun with him. We went to the Outlet Mall in Commerce, GA. He bought fireworks for Micaela and it was the first time we let her light them...she was on top of the world. We made toasted Marshmellows and again we let the little firebug start the firepit.

We can't wait to go up to see him and Hope for the wedding in October. Here is a picture of Tim and Me. I would post a picture of Hope but she would have a fit, but we do have pictures Hope. =)

WE LOVE YA!

Let's see if this works. My first attempt at posting a video on the blog. She is very proud of her week.

Micaela’s Summer Search

This is what Micaela did for a week in her summer off of school. She learned about sharks and this is what they did on Friday. She LOVED it. Summer Search is for advance and gifted kids in the elementary schools. She was asked last year but was not able to attend. She enjoyed her week and wants to know why regular school is not this much fun. She is the one to take the video!

Mother's Day Present

The girls went and had their pictures done at the Walmart for me for Mother's Day. They straightened their hair so all the curls are gone. Yes, Hannah is 2 1/2 inches taller than Sami. I am waiting for Josh so we can get his and Micaela's pictures done.

Days like this.....

6:00 am and Micaela wants to take pictures... go figure.
Everyone is doing well we are planting our garden and planted 2 pear trees. I hope they survive. We took the older girls to get their pictures done at the Walmart in town. I can not wait to post them. They look so cute. I will post Micaela's school pictures when the others come in. Not much else to tell.

Sisters Gray

Here are pictures I took a week or so ago of the girls. Yes Hannah is taller than poor Sami. They kid her all the time about her flamingo legs. Micaela is quite the poser.

Hello Everyone,
I am 'blogging' to keep everyone up-to-date on the Family. Hannah is on the A honor roll for her last report card!! Way to go Bonana! We are very proud of her. Her chorus group went to Festival and received all 1's! And she received her patriarchal blessing on Sunday, what a very spiritual experience for us.
Sami is still not wanting to get her Driver's License. We are working on her. She is enjoying her french classes.
Micaela is doing better in school she had a little rough spot for a couple of weeks ago. Throughing food in the lunch room and school work and comics do not go together. She loves her afterschool program and is doing well in her karate classes. She is excited about tending Search this summer, disecting a shark and learning about them. Search is for gifted and Advanced students in the Hall County school system. It is for a week and they do alot of fun activities.
Josh is attending ITT Tech and received his first paper back with a 95, yahoo! He still is working at the Red Robin in the Avenues at Webb Gin in Snellville, or is it Lawrenceville, I do not remember.
Spencer is still unemployed and is learning the role of Mr. Mom, he has taken the girls to dentist appointments, doctors and have to deal with sick kids, dogs, and Countrywide. HA HA HA
I am still working as an intern at the law firm and enjoying every minute of it. I have learned alot about the court system in Georgia and working with clients. School has started back for me and I love my class in Tort law but Real Estate law has not grown on me.
Take care and keep in touch.

Hello to Everyone!
This has been a crazy few weeks. I have dealt with kidney stones for 3 weeks with no insurance. They send you home and tell you to pass them. Yahoo...

Joshua started ITT tech on Monday and he is enjoying it so far.
Sami is still writing her stories and poems, she still enjoys seminar. :)
Hannah is doing well, she still enjoys Speed racer and TMNT. She is filling out her schedule for Highschool and is in all Advanced classes.
Micaela is still a little buzy bee. She loves her afterschool program at the DOJO and she is having her BB tournament in Jackson this weekend.
The dogs and rabbits are just fine.
The house has a new roof finally. Thank you Barry for your help in get it done after 2 months of dealing with contractors. Now we need to get the door frame done and the house painted. Yeah right.
So, we are all still alive.....I think.

Well today Spencer and I painted half of the new law office that our company is moving to. Boy was that fun. Micaela is attending an afterscool program at the DOJO and is having fun. The older girls went to a Young Womens/Mens activity tonight, it was a mystery dinner. Sami said she had fun. This month has been tough but we are doing better. I am tired but attending school full time and working has been a lot of 'fun'! Ha ha.

This is how I really feel. Thank you Micaela. lol

Buckeye is a lot bigger now.

Here are pictures of Buckeye, my baby, he is a bigger now.

New Beginnings Night

The girls' had New Beginnings Night at the Church. "MISSION POSSIBLE" all eight of them. Micaela took the pictures, she did pretty good. The top picture is Sami totally.

Micaela's Birthday Surprise

Here are pictures of Micaela's surprise birthday party. She was so excited that her friends came. From left to right: Jordan, Micaela, Bailey, and Bella. They made homemade pizza and watched a movie. Spencer and Joshua hid in the bedroom. Too many females and they get nervous.

4 H First years shooting Invitational

This is Micaela's first shooting competition with the S.A.F.E. program through the 4H club. She doubled her shooting score but did not receive a medal. She was upset but she knows that she can do it next time. Next month the kids will shoot against the Cops, that will be really fun for them. Micaela is also the vice president of the 4H in her school. I am a very proud parent.

Here are a few more pictures:

Place settings...
All of the knights, pages and wenches.

The king and princess.

The Yellow Knight at Medieval Times- Our Hero!!

Here is the Noble Royalty of the night along with a bunch of crazy peasants! Ha Ha

The first picture is when the 'players' came out and the trumpets sounded their arrival.

The second picture is of Micaela and the dungeon guard. He said we could leave her in the dungeon and not have to pay to get her out. She was not happy with me.

The third and fourth picture is us sitting at the table just before the tournament.The girls were very excited.

New Year's Eve/ Micaela's Birthday Present

This year began with attending a dinner and Tournament with Spencer's Family. This is the first time we have ever been to one and it was "AWESOME" according to the girls. They loved it. Micaela received a carnation from the Yellow Knight and I think she floated all the way home. It was a very special experience for the girls and Spencer and I. Poor Evelyn sat by me and I guess her ears are still ringing. =) Thank you to Spencer's Family for such a wonderful experience from all of us.
