MY 6TH BIRTHDAY

KENDRA CELEBRATED HER 6TH BIRTHDAY ON THE 12TH, BUT INSTEAD OF THE USUAL BIRTHDAY PARTY SHE CHOSE TO INVITE HER CLOSEST FRIENDS TO A SLUMBER PARTY. THEY ALL MADE THEIR OWN HOME MADE PIZZA'S, FOLLOWED BY SOME CRAFTS TO KEEP THEM BUSY. THEY DANCED AND PLAYED HIDE -n- SEEK BEFORE KENDRA OPENED HER GIFTS. FINALLY THEY ENJOYED MOM'S HOMEMADE BARBIE CAKE ALONG WITH SOME ICECREAM TO TOP THE NIGHT OFF. THE GIRLS HAD A BLAST AND KENDRA LOVED HAVING HER FRIENDS OVER FOR THE NIGHT.

TRIP TO NEW YORK

God has certainly blessed us in 2006 and what better way to end the year then to spend a week in New York City!!! Thanks to all the folks and beautiful program of N.H.S.A. (National Head Start Association) Elisa and I were awarded the opportunity to attend the Nationl Parents Conference In New York City (all expenses paid). Along with attending various parent trainings, we were able to tour the city and see all the famous sites. New York truly is breath-taking. Can you believe us country folk actually came out on TV on the Today Show? We stood in line for over two hours for two seconds of fame. It was worth it!!! The whole experience was awesome and a great way to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary as well.

KENDRA'S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

KENDRA JUST COULD NOT CONTAIN HER GIGGLING WHILE HER PROGRAM WAS IN PROGRESS. SHE LOVED EVERY MINUTE. SHE SAID THAT NEXT TIME SHE WANTS TO BE THE ONE TO SING A SONG BY HERSELF. IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH YOUR LITTLE ONES ACCOMPLISHMENTS. EVEN IF THEY ARE JUST LITTLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. SHE WAS WONDERFUL. BUCK HAD TEARS IN HIS EYES AS HE WATCHED WITH PRIDE AND A LITTLE BIT OF SADNESS. HE SAYS "I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS GROWING UP"
