Spring Break 07

Hi Abi! She is in Kansas visiting her new cousin Oliver this week. The rest of the Hootons stayed home. We had a fun week we went to the zoo with friends Rachel and Melissa, made sugar cookies, went shopping at Vinnie's and Steve and Barrys, had ice cream twice McDs and Wendys, went to storyhour at the library, babysat the Wykoff kids, cousin Bella spent the night, went to pizza hut. Today and tomorrow we are cleaning and getting ready for Easter. I will be singing for our Easter service. Abi we can't wait to see you.....

Happy Easter everyone and stay warm :)

Indy weekend

The Hootons go to Indy for the weekend. Saturday, we arrived at our Days Inn and found out we had a suite which made things nice because we had two tvs. One for the kids and one for Mitch to watch the ballgames. None for mom but mom is ok if everyone else is happy :)

We decided to have a total kids weekend and had dinner that night at chuck e cheese! Played some ski-ball and had a good time. The next morning we were at the children's musuem. Had a surprise (at least for the kids) and Dave, Karla and kids joined us for the day. The museum is awesome. I liked the dinosaurs, Abi liked the Eygptian tomb, Brianna liked the water play, Clara like the miniature dollhouses and Drew liked everything especially when we let him out of the stroller......

We left around 4:30 and made it home in time for bath and bed......

New Addition to the family

The Hooton family has a new addition to the family....... an old truck.

I told Mitch he looks like an old man driving it! But when you buy cars the Dave Ramsey way you get what you can get.

It is a 95 GMC Serria K1500 4x4 and a sweet ride (so says Mitch I have yet to ride in it or drive it) Should improve the business imagine over the green neon with the duct taped window.

Happy Spring

It's going to be my birthday by Brianna

I have many things I am asking for my birthday. I still want a Dora kitchen (mom & dad say no). When mom asked me where we would put the Princess kitchen if I got a Dora one I said, " we can take it back to santa" I also said "Abi would help me take it there" I was listing all the things I wanted at dinner and Daddy asked me where we would keep everything, I said " we can make the house bigger!" So here is my list with a few things mom just had to put in there.

swimsuit 4T
sandals size 8 and flip-flops
spring/summer clothes (shorts and t-shirts)
tennis shoes size 9
socks for summer
strawberry shortcake movie (full-length)
Flushed Away movie
Cinderella III movie
Dora pillow
Leap Pad Game Dora
Dora kitchen
Dora necklace
craft stuff (glue, stickers etc...)

Thanks Brianna

Snow Day #7

We had quite a snow again! I think about 12 inches yesterday. There is a chance tonight but they should go to school tomorrow at least mom hopes. Mitch has been plowing snow he went in yesterday at 10 am and got home at 6 am the next day. He got a few hours sleep ate some breakfast and is off again to plow. I am sure he will be tired when he gets home! Keep warm

Hooton Girls take on Science Fair

Both Abi and Clara and Roanna took 2nd place in their divisions at science fair. Clara did a experiment with smell where you had to smell things you could not see and guess what they were. It came to no surprise that Brianna could guess coffee beans. She said mommy drinks that all the time! Abi did an experiment with taste where you had to taste different things such as lemon juice, syrup etc.. on different parts of your tongue and say where you could taste it best.
