This and That



Jack's new favorite thing is chess. Jonathan is so excited for him to be old enough to play with him. They play at least one game every evening. Jonathan said he is getting pretty good. He came home last week with a paper to join the school chess club. One of the things it said they would do was learn to beat your dad. Jack is so excited about it. He also got to go this weekend with Grandma Janet and Papa Joe to Elk City for the weekend. He had a great time!







Last Thursday night Jonathan got free tickets for the soft opening of the new SpiritBank center. The finalists from Nashville Star performed. We watched a little of the show and Coffey was our favorite. He was definitely the best performer. The kids were so excited about going to their first concert. They didn't last too long after the first performer they were so tired from a long day that Joel fell asleep and Jennah and Jack were laying across their seats. We decided from now on they should only go to concerts on Saturday nights so they have a good nights sleep and get to sleep in that day.




Jennah had her first sleepover this weekend. It was a friend from church. These people went all out! It was crazy. First of all the girls were to come in princess attire and it was at the Hampton Inn. They went way overboard with everything. There was a chocolate fountain, a punch fountain, crazy cake (that the mom made herself), jupiter jump, and much more. Jennah LOVED it! I had to explain to her that we would not be having a party for her like that!

What in the world does kids have to look forward to! They are starting way too young on these kind of parties.

Your very old mother-in-law,

It was less expensive than Pump it up, Chucky Cheese or Incredible Pizza. When your ready I will let you borrow the scene setter and chocolate fountain which I bought on clearance. The punch fountain was a little overboard I must admit and I would not do it again. If you bake the cake I will decorate it. I only felt like a princess on my wedding day and it was too short. All girls need that princess feeling. Jenna was an absolutely beautiful princess. This party would have been fun in our home too. I had fun.
