Houston Trip

We went to Eagle's Trace to eat supper with Mom and Dad. Ted had had three of his four days of chemo therapy, but he was feeling fine. Mom's knee was doing better, so she was happy.

I took pictures of the clock that has been in our family for over 100 years. Here it is at David's with Janet's latest prints of Haley and Emily.

Utah Trip

I got to see Hayden and Maddi perform a Japanese Dance as part of a cultural study at school. Here they are after the dance trying to look "cool".

Bethany, Rosalia, and I are posing during a shopping trip.

This picture was taken at Bethany's house and I think even the baby is looking at the camera!

Here is the baby with the quilt I designed for her. It took me all week to quilt it. Can you see how much fatter she has gotten from the picture with me? We think that she weighs around 9 lbs. now. This is actually the last picture I took and it was taken on Sunday, Jan. 23 just before I left for the airport. I got these two posts backwards, but I know you'll be able to figure things out.

Going to Utah

Here is Halli with the dress and matching doll dress I brought with me from Louisiana.

Here is Gwenivere during her photo shoot with her Dad. Rebecca laid her in a doll trunk. She is wearing the sweater and onesie that T.J. and Michelle gave her with a fancy tutu added. She did have the jeans on earlier.

I took this oneof me with the snow in the parking lot of the Home Depot to prove to my students that I went to snow country.

Here I am with two and a half week old Gwenivere. She is doing beautifully and I hardly had to help Becca at all except I did get to hold the baby and (don't faint) I did cook supper. Becca did my hair.

Auntie Rosalia with the baby.

Shelving, Finally!

A box to house the rakes and shovels.

Shelves under the peg board and the bike rack moved back into the garage.

Looking toward the side door.

The boys did a great job building shelves in the garage. What a great project we should have had done many years ago. Tracy spent the fall cleaning things out. Now it just needs a little more organization and we are done! Thanks for a wonderful Christmas present. We have never seen so much space and Eric even cleaned the floor!

Two foot shelves with lots of possibilities.

Looking into the laundry room. When everything is organized completely I'll post the final results. Too bad I didn't have any before pictures except for the bare wall.

Badger Anniversary 9 and 43

Stephen and Desirae celebrated ceoebrated 9 years on Dec. 29th and we celebrated our 43rd Temple weding anniverary. We went to Cecil's a Cajun restaurant in downtown DeRidder.

Evie (David), Noah(Eric), Shane (Jessica), and Ella(Mark), all the babies born in 2009.

Nativity Scene

This is almost all of our group. We might be missing a few shepherds.

One of these kings is extra tall, but Bridger and Brooklyn don't seem to mind.

Alyssa was Mary and Porter cooperated nicely as baby Jesus.

Random pictures around the house.

Singing and cooking with Aunt Desirae.

Cousins and friends, Breyton and Drew, Mason and Bridger

I hope to see more pictures from everyone else because I missplaced my camera for most of this holiday.
