Spring break project
Cathy and her kids came up for a couple of days to help me paint Cade's room. Cathy did the whole thing. The picture doesn't do it justice. The John Deere tractor is so detailed and the fence goes all around the room. We all love to be in Cade's room now. I painted the bathroom while Cathy did Cade's room. It took me as long to paint that tiny room as it did for Cathy to paint a barn,tractor,fence, and landscape in the other room. I had problems picking the right color, but thanks to the inspiration from Meg's room, I went for an orangey cheerful color. Katie and Heidi painted some flowers in Kaitlyn's room but I can't take a picture now because I don't want to wake her up. She needs a nap as much as I need her to have one!
I tried to arrange the pictures to get the before and after effect but it didn't quite work. Use your imagination ;)

Jenny Rides a Bike
Over spring break Jason and Heidi taught Jenny how to ride a two-wheeler. Within ten minutes she could ride by herself and was already pumping Heidi on the back. Now she goes and gets her friends down the street and rides bikes with them. She loves it!

Big Day in Oklahoma
Clark was named an Oklahoma Academic Scholar. Clark had to have a 3.7 GPA or higher all 4 years of high school and get at least a 27 on his ACT. We are very proud of him.
A partial list of names from Clark's high school. There were 38 from his high school and over 2000 in the state. There were students from everywhere in the state in attendance.
Each scholar had to state his/her name and which high school they were from. It was done in a random order. There were over 700 scholars in attendance.
Jordan was named 8th Grade Student of the month! Way to go J-Dawg!

I wonder if 911 operators put callers on hold sometimes, because they're laughing so hard.
Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is your emergency?
Caller: I heard what sounded like gunshots coming from the brown house on the corner.
Dispatcher: Do you have an address?
Caller: No, I have on a blouse and slacks, why?
Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is your emergency?
Caller: Someone broke into my house and took a bite out of my ham and cheese sandwich.
Dispatcher: Excuse me?
Caller: I made a ham and cheese sandwich and left it on the kitchen table and when I came back from the bathroom, someone had taken a bite out of it.
Dispatcher: Was anything else taken?
Caller: No, but this has happened to me before and I'm sick and tired of it!
Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is the nature of your emergency?
Caller: I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't have an eleven on it.
Dispatcher: This is nine eleven.
Caller: I thought you just said it was nine-one-one.
Dispatcher: Yes, ma'am nine-one-one and nine-eleven are the same thing.
Caller: Honey, I may be old, but I'm not stupid.
Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What's the nature of your emergency?
Caller: My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart
Dispatcher: Is this her first child?
Caller: No, you idiot! This is her husband!
And the winner is..........
Dispatcher: 9-1-1
Caller: Yeah, I'm having trouble breathing. I'm all out of breath.
Darn....I think I'm going to pass out.
Dispatcher: Sir, where are you calling from?
Caller: I'm at a pay phone. North and Foster.
Dispatcher: ! Sir, an ambulance is on the way. Are you an asthmatic?
Caller: No.
Dispatcher: What were you doing before you started having trouble breathing?
Caller: Running from the Police.

..........and a little politcal humor, too.
Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she placed them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to them.
Suddenly a big line of big black cars came up the street with several policemen on motorcycles in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man, with big ears, stepped out of the largest car, a Mercedes limousine
"Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked.
"Kittens!" Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet."
"What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.
"Democrats" says Little Suzy.
The tall man, who was none other than Sen. Obama, smiled and returned to his car and they all drove away. Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl and the kittens.
Together, they planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone all over America about these great little kittens.
The next day, Little Suzy is back --standing on the corner with her box of kittens with the "FREE KITTENS" sign on it and, again, the big motorcade of black cars pulled up, this time with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and five New York Times reporters.
Everyone had their cameras ready and then, Sen. Obama got out of his limo
and walked up to Little Suzy.
"Now, little girl, don't be frightened," he said, "I only want you to tell all these nice news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today."
"Yes sir," Suzy said, "they're REPUBLICAN kittens."
Taken by complete surprise, Sen. Obama said, "But yesterday, you told me that they were DEMOCRATS."
Little Suzy says, "Yes, Sir, I know. But today, they have their eyes open."

Tennessee Humor
Luckily Brian and Kathy are "transplants".
The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite
fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF)
These Tennessee boys will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given
only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, women, pickups, Hawgs, country music, or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
The Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over by next Friday.
