Happy 21st Possible

Happy Birthday Possible!  I hope the day was good. Not easy to plan or celebrate on lockdown. We told her that we would put beers in each room of the house and she could crawl from room to room pretending to have a "BUB CRAWL" but her siblings came up with better ideas. 

Decorations were up by the siblings and dad started cooking Possible's big huge breakfast. 

Possible's sisters wanted to make sure today was a good day for Possible, even though we were in lock down. They planned a big picnic but the parks were closed so they sat in the parking lot of one of the parks and enjoyed their lunch.

 Time was made to visit the store, just to make sure the ID would work. It did!

Boyfriend (un-named on blog so far . . . ) got permission from us and his parents to visit as long as he kept social distancing in place (meaning 6 feet away!).

The family then sung happy birthday to Possible with a cake.

Then the big party down stairs took place. The older siblings turned part of the basement into a bar area and set up a huge screen with a ZOOM call with all Possible's friends. What a cool day for Possible! Even on lockdown she knows she is very loved.

 This girl had a great day!

Cheers to Possible, happy birthday!

Swim Theory

Goobers and Possible work at this wonderful place where they are giving swim lessons. This is a small private indoor pool. There was a free hour in the middle of the day, the owner asked the girls if their siblings might need some exercise. The kids jumped all over it. 

J and I were at home trying to watch the news and figure out what was going on. While this was happening the kids were sending us fun pictures. I love these kiddos and I am so thankful that they got to spend the afternoon just having fun, without the weight of world or the weight of the virus on them. I love that even in a time of an international pandemic, these kids can make each other smile.

Got Invites Out - YEAH!

We finally got it finished. The invitations for the T family baby shower finally made it out. Baby R it is our turn to welcome you. You are so blessed to be so loved by both big families!

Some Went to TX

Goobers, Possible, and Bagel reorganized their lives so that they could go visit Pooker and JavaJava. Pooker is getting bigger everyday with that baby! The first stop was WhatA Burger ad then a bunch of other familiar type adventures. 

They had Mexican food, slumber parties, learned all they could about the brewery.

The Six Brothers Brewery was established by JavaJava and his brothers. They have been creating their own beers for a few years and opened the brewery last year. Pooker and JavaJava decided to move to Abilene to be near JavaJava's family and to help brew the beer.

To this crowd there is nothing better than a little sister time.

Jumba and BasketBall

Bear has gone back to OKC but the rest of us are headed to Jumba's basketball game. He is doing great and trying so hard. His siblings are all enjoying the opportunity to watch him play.

Well, maybe not the twins. They are enjoying just hanging out.

Family time!

Way to play Jumba. He gets better and better.

Surprise Mimi and Go to Mass with Her

Bear, Sugar and Goobers wanted give Mimi a great gift. The decided to go to morning Mass and KeeKee and Em joined in the fun. It meant so much to Mimi. Another Mass goer friend of Mimi's knew how special this would be for her. She got up and snapped a picture. It meant the world to Mimi.

Advent and Preparing for Everyone

Advent is a beautiful time of year. 

I love hearing from our out of town kiddos. Phone calls are always so important.

So you have heard that Goobers is on her way to St. Louis to stay. Bagel took it upon herself to decorate the room for first Pooker and JavaJava's visit and then for Goobers. She took a picture of herself and made many copies of it.

The room is very decorated and ready for our visitors and our permanent guest.  We are so very excited!!!!!

TX Kids Leaving Houston

Family news. The kids have made the difficult decision to move away from Houston. Goobers will be moving to St. Louis. She will live with us until she finds work and a new home. We are thrilled. The younger kiddos can not wait until she is here with us. The happy couple has decided to move to Abilene, TX to be near JaveJava's family. He and his brothers own a brewery, he and Pooker hope to help run it for a few years. I was sent pictures to help send them off.
