12-22-08 Great's New Chair

Dustin & Ray were supposed to put Great's

new chair together, but they couldn't figure it

out so we had to call in a "professional"

Hmmm....this is kindof nice.
I think she likes it :)

12-21-08 Playing Wii With Grandpa

It's okay if you don't like tennis Grandpa.

We can try another game.

~~~~~~~~

Okay...So boxing isn't really for you.

Maybe golf will be a little more your speed Grandpa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well...Golf wasn't really your thing either,

but don't worry Grandpa, we'll keep trying

to find a game you're good at.

12-21-08 Making Grandpa Beautiful

You need some Christmas jewelry Grandpa.

Get it just right.

WOW! You're beautiful Grandpa.

Grandpa had to clean his glasses after all of that.

12-21-08 Raya Loves Grandma

Sweet Kisses

All Smiles

12-17-08 Meeting Baby Jack

Meeting Uncle Ray...

Uncle Ray didn't want to hold him at first

because he said he couldn't get "THE FEVER"

Jake...checking out his feet with Uncle Tom

& his sister Erica.

Raya is getting over a cold, so she could only look,

but she really wantedto give some kisses to Baby Jack.

Once Uncle Ray got ahold of him, he was all smiles.

Aunt Kary & Tommy

Tommy & Raya on the tricycle

Raya REFUSES to sit on the potty at home,

but any time Uncle Tom is around and Tommy

goes to the potty, she wants to go too. I think she

might need to move in til she's potty trained Uncle Tom :)

Jake always has a friend in Uncle Tom.

Once Aunt Kary got ahold of him, nobody

else could have him

Dinner Time!

Kary's Pinning Ceremony 12/16/08

I'm always the one behind the camera,

so my pictures are rarely posted on here

(as I have pointed out to me so often)

However...

This one is ALL ABOUT ME :)

Laura, Jae, & Me......Manders was running late -

In 2 years, I don't think I've ever known her to

be late...Leave it to her to decide to choose the night

of pinning to run late & make a grand entrance :)

Us again

ME!

Mrs. Pinkerton...our 1st semester instructor.

We were her last class before retirement and she

made sure she was here to see us graduate. We might

have made it through without being blessed with her as our

1st instructor, but we definitely wouldn't have been the

class that we were without her laying the foundation.

Me, Jae, Mrs P, & Laura

Jae & Nan...Wouldn't be here without them.

Thanks for always listening to me Jae, encouraging me,

kicking me in the butt, sneaking me a smoke

and anything else I needed, even in the middle of the

night when I'm sure you'd have much rather been

sleeping and I know for sure Kenny would have

rather you been sleeping :)

YOU'RE THE BEST!

Our last clinical group (minus Manders & Dr G).

Lighting the candle

(of course mine didn't work...lol)

Mrs. Duffy pinning me

A hug from Dr. Goetteman...

Without a doubt the toughest instructor

I've ever had in my life. Nothing was ever good

enough. Looking back, now I know you were

just making sure I never stopped and always

kept striving to do better, no matter how well it

was done the 1st time. I know I'll succeed, and you

can smile & enjoy knowing you're a lot of the reason.

~Thanks Dr Goetteman~

Amanda & I leaving the stage....Yes....

she FINALLY made it.
