Forrester FUN this weekend!!!

Hello all!!!

What an amazing weekend we had!!! Let's just start at the beginning! After work on Friday, Ryan and I (& chip) headed over to Brooke's to pick up precious Claire Isabella to go to Stigler and visit MiMi and Poppy, GiGi and Gramps, Uncle Donnie and Aunt Ramona! Brooke and Breck stayed in Tulsa to work, so we got to take Claire! yay! We got to Stigler about 7:30pm. Boy was mom and dad happy to get that baby out of the car!!! How fun to see the huge smiles on their faces! And of course Claire yelled, "MiMi.....Poppy....!!!! I love you!" They exchanged hugs and kisses over and over! We all played awhile and got to bed fairly early, we all know Friday nights are "wind down" nights and tend to go to bed early after a long week! :) or at least we do! Ha!

Saturday morning rolled around and I must say Miss Claire Bear likes to roll around and kick 'ya in the side when she sleeps! No, it wasn't too bad! I love her oh so much! It was fun to sleep by my niece! She is precious and so easy to care for! We got up and Ryan went to Walmart to get some breakfast food. He and I fixed everyone a good breakfast: flaky biscuits, waffles, sausage, and bacon. It was really good! We decided to get ready for the day then Ry Ry pulled out 2 My Little Pet Shop toys for Claire.....She was super excited! She played and played with those! He spoils her rotten! But we all love to!!!

Mom is doing tremendous getting herself ready and she doesn't want any help! She got all ready by herself and put her makeup on....I helped with her hair and then she went to play with Claire the rest of the day. Mom desperately wanted more of her Mary Kay makeup so she remembered Sheryl Kirk sold it and I went to her house and picked some up for mom. It was nice to get to visit with Sheryl and Jim Bob! Thanks for you prayers!

Uncle Donnie and Aunt Ramona called and told us they were fixing a big fish dinner! mmmmm....so very yummy!!! If you don't know by now, our family LOVES crappie!! (yes, that is pronounced crawpy, ha!) They fixed fish, ranch style beans, cornbread, fried potatoes, homemade tartar sauce, fresh squeezed lemonade, grandma fixed cole slaw, and for dessert - huge strawberries with chocolate dip! oh so good! Needless to say, we were all very full and hit the sack early, again! :) Thanks so much for cooking Uncle Donnie and Aunt Ramona! You rock!!

This morning (Sunday), we all ate breakfast and I got Claire ready right after. Mom got ready while Claire was getting ready and then they played and played all morning! Dress up and checkers are a few of the things they have done today! :) We ate pizza for lunch and I cleaned up the house and did some laundry. Poppy and Ryan took Claire Bear for a ride on the four wheeler and to meet Uncle Donnie at the pond to catch some minnows. She loves going with her Poppy! We are going to leave around 2pm to head back to Tulsa and get things done there as well.

We hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday! Have a great week and remember Mom is starting her radiation/chemo pill on Monday! She will be going to St. John everyday - Monday thru Friday at 4pm. Please continue to pray for her during her treatments and that she may maintain her strength, courage, faith, and positive attitude! She loves everyone so very much and appreciates all you have done and all of your prayers! Her family loves and thanks all of you as well! We will keep you updated!

Lots of love - God Bless!
