Visiting Granddaddy

Here are some pics of our visit on Thursday to see Granddaddy.
He was feeling pretty well and he looked GREAT! We love him so much.
Cousin Zane was there too and my mom and dad as well. It was my mom's birthday so we celebrated with a yummy strawberry cake from Ambrosia! :) (and gifts and homemade cards from the girls)
Skippy made his first trip to see Granddaddy too and LOVED it! Granddaddy thought Skippy was mighty cute...he thought at first Ebeth was holding a stuffed animal.
He just laughed!

Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Easter 2009 and More Puppy Pics

We had a wonderful Easter....the girls and Skippy were up looking at what the Bunny left for them at .............. about 1:30 or 2 a.m. (or earlier according to Emily). They got DVDs along with candy and lots of bath stuff....so they watched "Bedtime Stories" and I went back to sleep (oh, Skippy got tennis balls and a squeaky chew toy). We went to church and then to Steven's mom's for lunch and egg hunting with cousins (and I didn't take pics...bad mom) and then out to see my mom and dad after that.

It's late now and I'm sleepy...the girls are snoozing and so are Skippy and Steven. So I'm putting the photos on here and heading to bed myself. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. And I hope we all remember why we celebrate Easter...I know I am very glad Jesus died for me and rose again.

Welcome "Skippy"

We want to introduce everyone to the newest member of the Sutton household...
Skippy.....he is just 8 weeks old. We just brought him home today....Daddy surprised the girls (all of us). We love you, Daddy!!! And we love our Skippy!

Dancing Queens.......

And you thought this was going to be a post about Abba's great hit right?

I love the girls dance pics! Do they have some long legs or what? I have no idea WHERE they get those...

I love my girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recital is in the middle of May.

Go Ebeth!!!! She did it!!

Today Ebeth found out she made the elementary track team!!!
She is so excited! She tried out last year and didn't make it but she nailed it this year! The one track meet they have is on May 7. They will have 5 practices.
The first one is in about a week or so.....:)
She was on cloud nine today!

Congrats sweetie! We are all so proud of you!

Meeting our Governor----Mr. Bobby Jindal

Today our governor, Mr. Bobby Jindal, was the honored guest at our church. After the service (he actually got to speak for the entire service----and he did a wonderful job----he is an awesome Godly man and his testimony was a blessing)
He stayed after the service to shake hands and let us take photos. The girls were so excited. He is such a nice, genuine person. Maybe one day he may be more than the governor.........just maybe.......:)

Now why do we call the "slumber" parties???

Friday night Emily had her first official slumber party to celebrate her soon-to-be turning of 8. (Her bday is Wed, March 11). She said it was the best birthday party EVER. (a high compliment because the gal has had some GREAT bday parties). I am so glad and it was worth it..................but slumber was not in these gals vocabulary. At least not until close to 3 a.m.---------yes, you read correctly 3, THREE, 3:00. One gal was asleep before midnight, one at 1 a.m., and the rest did not think of closing their eyeballs until at least 2:30 a.m.--------therefore my eyes did not shut until after 3. Momma was (and still is) TIRED. And then they were up around 7, 7:30 the latest. And I was then fixing pancakes and waffles.
Pick up for the girls was 10 a.m. and they were all gone by 10:15. So the Sutton household was snooze city for most of the afternoon on Saturday. What a weekend to lose an hour huh?? No picture of course right now......you people know I never download immedidately after an event.................I have to save something for later. Plus, I'm sleepy. All is all though, I'd let her do it again...........just not this coming weekend, which is what she asked me yesterday after everyone left...."can I do this every weekend---just without the presents?" Good try Em!

More later about the actual fun at the "slumber" (what a name----i just keep laughing to myself about that name---never before have I thought it was so funny---in a delirious sort of way) party!

I'm not even rereading this post..........of course, I might be the only one even reading it anyway----well, except maybe Kelli is and Nanny and Sybil might too----
:) Excuse any typo-s.

I think I might try and catch some more zzzzzzz's.
