Tea Party 2009 Fort Worth, Texas

I heard that some folks were getting together to protest the government spending & the bailouts of the crooks & morons caught up in the mortgage & banking mess, so I stopped by and took some pictures. The organizers had a band there and by about 5 pm some 800 or so people had signed the sign in sheet. I left at 5:30 & more people were coming as they got off work. I was glad to see that there was a good representation of age groups because the young people are the ones that are going to have to bear the burden of what is taking place right now.

Here are some pics from the event.

Babysitting the Grandkids

Jackson fell against the coffee table and gouged a hole in his head, naturally we needed to go see about him so we offered to babysit them Saturday night. He had to have staples and putty put in the hole and will have a scar, but he didn't even bruise and it seemed like it was not bothering him at all.

Here are some pics we took.

Juliana visits her Great Grandma

Jackson spent the night with us Friday & Saturday. He and Helen laid together on the couch and watched Rudolf the Red Nosed Raindeer. On Sunday we met Brian and Tiffany & Juliana at my mothers. It was the first time Juliana got to visit her Great Grandmothers house.

Here are a few pics.

Kyle & Kathleen

 


Kyle's girlfriend Kathleen came to visit us a few days after we got back from KY. It was our first time to meet her. She is a very sweet girl and we enjoyed having her here. Kyle took her to Joe T's for lunch on New Years day & then we took them both to Mac's for dinner. They left later that night to head back to Nacogdoches.

Kentucky Christmas 2008

For at least the 30th year in a row we went to visit Helen's family in Mount Washington, KY for Christmas. Here are some photos we took while there. The big hit for Xmas this year was the WII video game our niece Sarah got from Santa. We all took the fitness test with some surprising results. Helen's mom and dad scored much below their ages and beat several of their children's scores.

Jackson's Pre-School Christmas Show

Our Grandson was in his first Christmas show Tuesday night. He didn't have a starring role, but we thought he was the star of the show. Here is a video I took. Jackson is one of the kids sitting on the steps and playing bells. He has on a white shirt & brown sweater (the arrow to start the video is pointing right at him).
