IG Group -- Meghan Graduation party

Here are just a few things that I saw at Meghan's graduation party. It was on Friday night at Chris's parents house. We showed up casually 30 minutes late. Meghan's mother was cooking some really good fresh tacos. And the IG group was chowing down. I managed to get a few; Won't comment on the number of tacos i ate ;-0 They were really good.

Then all the gang jumped in the pool. We watched Meghan strut her stuff. Rumor has it she is an Olympian diver. WooHoo, go girl... Do them Flips. Of Course Justin was one of them special Olympic belly flopper's!!! Ouch that looked like that hurt. I was sorry I missed those photos. But here is the gang in the water having a great time.

After such a hard hit in the water, can't believe that's Justins tummy all white.

Of Course got to see the Star attraction ready to do her thing on the diving board.....

And they all were hanging out having a great time.....

Even future mom's took time out of planning to relax and play....

We all love Meghan --

Marsha's 40th Birthday Lunch

Anne on the Left, and Beautiful Marsha on the right.



Well my beautiful wife turned 40 and we had lunch with friends. About two weeks ago, my wife started getting suspicious that I was up to something. So she called me on the carpet. My wonderful wife loves to be in the back ground, and not the center of attention. After much discussion, she settled on having another couple or two over to celebrate her birthday on Saturday evening. So we made plans to keep it very very small. All the while I was working on a relatively small lunch (about 6 families) from church mostly, to join us for a birthday lunch with out alot of hoop la.

Saturday Night came around, and one of the couples that was coming was supposed to call the other one, but forgot. But my good friend Jim, and his daughter Isabella, and her friend came to visit as well. So Saturday night we still filled up the dinner table. Marsha, Tom, Jim, Anne, Meagan, Lauren, Isabella, and friend (Can't remember her name.) We ate Jalapenos wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cream cheese. Venison, Beef, Chicken, and Shrimp fajitas with Re fried Beans and Sweet tea. A good time was had by all, and Marsha thought it was over.

Sunday morning we got up and headed out to church. After church, I informed Marsha we would take her to lunch. She wasn't expecting anything yet. We arrived to her surprise and found a table set for several families. She was a wee bit shocked. It was a good time had by all.

Don't let her face fool you. I caught her throwing small wads of paper at me.


Don't worry. We have one more Birthday Celebration to be had for her on July 4Th at the farm, with the Freeman & Nutter families. Should be an exciting day for all.

Meagan is Home!!

Last night was a time to celebrate. Meagan has arrived safely from Tunisia. We watched closely as her plane crossed the sea, and then as it was getting closer we watched it move across the USA on our computer screen. Lauren was so excited she couldn't stand it. Between my excitement and antics and Lauren's laughter the house was in an uproar! Lauren was laughing so hard I thought she was going to pee in her pants, and Tracey was giggling like a school girl. So Marsha, Tracey, Lauren and I loaded up in the truck and headed off to the airport.


On the way to the airport Marsha noted the clouds and commented that it was going to be a good rain storm. We prayed that Meagan would get in safely. Little did we know that Meagan and party had prayed for rain when they got home. Well God sure heard them. Meagan was so excited about rain she even went and played in it. The rain came down hard, with brilliant streaks of lightening. Lauren commented that God was celebrating Meagan's return home with us. We all laughed and so enjoyed each others company.

As we sat and visited over dinner, and were listening to such awesome stories of her month, it became obvious that Meagan had been traveling for over 18 and half hours. She was beginning to fade. So we let her relax, with a promise to share her photos and more stories later.

My heart is overjoyed with her return to our home. Now we have about a month to enjoy her company before she heads back to Baylor. And guess what... God is still answering her prayers, but more on that later.

Love ya'll

Tom
