Otis will be eight this year but he's still got it. Greta is an undetermined age so who knows how old she'll be.

Grandma's Journal - Michael Jackson

Here's a funny excerpt from my Grandma's journal about Michael Jackson and his sexuality...

"When Kelly was about 5 she had a big crush on Michael Jackson and had a big poster on the back of her bedroom door. One time she said to Sherry that she really liked M.J. but Kerry said he was a fag. After a pause she asked Sherry, “What’s a fag?” Sherry said that when she doesn’t know what a word means her mother told her to look it up in the dictionary. After much leafing through our big dictionary Sherry said, “It’s a homosexual, whatever that means.”

And that's me rocking my MJ shirt on my sixth birthday.

Kohl's Children's Museum

In early January ( I think) a few of us girls met at the Kohl's Children's Museum for a day of fun with the kiddies. They have a Pot Belly's Restaurant for the kids to play in and boy did they have fun. Poor Aid never gets a moment's rest.

When Jill & Jacob finally arrived (she does have a new baby at home), we headed over to the grocery store.

Luke looks like he forgot something on his list...maybe the beer?

I was a proud momma when Ella took a liking to the vet's office. Maybe she'll be a dancing veterinarian when she grows up?

Later in the day, we, I mean I lost Ella. Yes I only have one kid and she should be easy enough to keep track of but there was some good gossip to be had and she slipped away. Jill found her back in the vet's office feeding a puppy. That's my girl!
