Grandpa Romine's 80th Birthday!

This Saturday we celebrated my Grandpa Romine's 80th birthday.  (this is my Mom's dad)
All our family came in and ate lunch together, and then we invited friends & church members to come celebrate with us.  Everyone had a good time, & of course we had way too much good food!

Grandpa with his 3 cakes.  They were decorated to look like his garden.

Grandpa Randy & Clark

My Uncle Lonny.  

Avery & Avelyn. (my cousin's daughter)

Aaron & Ryan loved the fried chicken!

 Avery tried to take a picture of her daddy & Grandpa Randy, & this is what she got.  Like father like son!

 Megan with Avery & Clark.

 All the great-grandchildren.

This isn't the best picture, but it's hard to get all the kids to be still & look at the cameras!

My mom's sister Annette & her family.

My mom's sister Marilyn & her family.

And of course my family!  Oh, and for all those that told me at the party how much my mother & I look alike, I'm the one in the red shirt. :)

Spring Break

 Denny & I took off one day during Spring Break to spend with the boys.  We took them to Incredible Pizza in Tulsa, and on our way home stopped in Muskogee to see the USS Batfish. (a submarine)  We had a really fun day!

 Incredible Pizza has added laser tag since we were there last time.  This was mine & Ryan's first time to ever play.  I have to admit I was nervous at first, but had a lot of fun!

 While Denny & Aaron played other games, Ryan & I played putt putt & bumper cars.


The USS Batfish in Muskogee.  This may have been their favorite part of the day!

 Denny calls this my "panicked mother" photo.  It's true.  I had just looked up there, and said "What are you doing up there?  You're not supposed to be up there!  Get down here right now!"  Ryan made me very nervous more than once on this trip!
 They had an old tank the boys had fun climbing on.


Look at those muscles!

 Umm...I promise it wasn't me driving.

 The doorways in the submarine are little.  Of course, everything in the submarine is downsized & cramped.

 Can you imagine grown men trying to sleep in these?  I'm not sure how Denny got stuck with the bottom bunk!
 Full steam ahead!

 Okay, you may think this is gross, but I work at a plumbing warehouse...what do you expect?
Seriously, that was one tiny shower.  I stepped in one, thinking about the poor men who had to shower there when I heard the door slamming shut behind me.  Needless to say it opened back pretty quick after I yelled "Aaron Michael!"
Denny has been sick with Bronchitis the past month, so we were glad he felt like going with us.  I think he payed for it the next day, but he said it was well worth it!

Dr. Seuss's Birthday

This week at school, the boys got to dress up for Dr. Seuss's birthday.

 Aaron on crazy glasses day.

Uncle William & Ryan on Nerd Day.

Ryan on Superhero Day.

Pine Car Racers

The boys made pine cars at church, and here are a few pics of their cars.  They both won 1st place in their age group!  (that had nothing to do with Denny being the judge either!)
