Snow Play

At the end of January we had a huge snowstorm. It dumped tons of snow and caused school to be cancelled for four days! The kids had a great time playing in the snow. They made some great snow angels.

Since we are going skiing during Spring Break, this was a good time to try out their ski gear. Not one person complained of cold, wet body parts! And I didn't spend all day long washing and drying wet, sweaty clothes!

Herndon Family Gathering July 2009

This summer a large portion of the Herndon Family gathered in OKC. We had a great time visiting and celebrating Grandmother Herndon's 87th birthday. The Babb clan hopes to have a repeat event next summer with all the Biggerstaff and Louis families in attendance! Here are a few pics of the event...

Lovely....Bet you wish you could do that

Texas Weekend

The Babb family is in Texas this weekend.  Shopping tomorrow...woohoo!  Leah's graduation party with Herndon family on Saturday.  Visit with Babb family in Dallas on Sunday.  Head back to OKC on Sunday.  Excited about seeing Andrew and Katie on Saturday!  Full weekend!

Last Day of School

No pictures but today is the last day of a great school year for all of my children.  A few milestones this year (according to the school system)  Leah graduated from high school, Rebekah graduated from 8th grade (middle school-with numerous academic awards!), John graduated from 5th grade (elementary school), and Abby graduated from Preschool (not sure about the significance of that one, however her teacher assures me she was doing kindergarten and 1st grade work).

Andrew left on Monday for Sky Ranch where he will be leading worship and filling is as a counselor for the entire summer.  We will miss him but what an exciting time for him!  His girlfriend is there too, so I'm sure he won't be too lonely! 

We are looking forward to seeing family in Dallas next week!

Pool Time!!!!

Leah's Graduation

Leah graduated from high school last night.  WooHoo!  Way to go Leah!  We all attended along with a few of Leah's church friends and then we went to Johnny Carino's for dinner. This is Leah with her good friend, Melissa McLaws.   Today we are having a Cook-Out/Swim Party at our house for Leah and some friends.  Had to actually turn the heater on the pool because of our crazy weather!  Somehow that doesn't seem right in the middle of May in Oklahoma!  The sun is out and it looks to be a pleasant day.
