Kate and Dean were really excited. Then, just after intermission Dean was done - ready to go. Of course we stayed the entire time. but it was quite funny. Lions, tigers and bears and Dean is ready to go. Great family fun.

This is actually a tradition that Todd has with the kids. It was an added bonus to get to decorate cookies at church. But, starting the day after Thanksgiving Todd and the kids make cookies (on several occasions) leading up to Christmas. It is not just the cookie baking that is the tradition. It is the icing, then more icing, then sprinkles, then more sprinkles, then that third kind of sprinkles - that they top on them. By the time they are done there is more icing/sprinkles than cookie. It generally takes three containers to keep the cookies in b/c there is so much icing you can't stack them. Yes, we love our traditions.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638284222952405212-4828767378536925582?l=homeofwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sandy Wisenbakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16259947079390192032noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638284222952405212.post-73026466383495640722008-12-13T23:06:00.004-05:002008-12-13T23:30:37.547-05:00<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/SUSHmIiU-NI/AAAAAAAAAQU/6T2IBdnUcqc/s1600-h/jenny+wedding+017.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279493752381307090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/SUSHmIiU-NI/AAAAAAAAAQU/6T2IBdnUcqc/s320/jenny+wedding+017.jpg" border="0" /></a> On November 15 we attended the wedding of Todd's littlest sister, Jennifer to Drew. It was a great event. Kate was a proper young flower girl and did her best to keep Dean in line - but as a young Todd she had more to handle than she was able. Dean looked quite handsome in his little tux. During the ceremony he truly entertained the entire church - making the winking face, then mouthing like the preacher. Todd and I could barely pay attention to the ceremony for laughing at Dean. It was truly a memorable experience.</div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279495959878827202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/SUSJmoGv_MI/AAAAAAAAAQc/hzwZH_ldeAY/s320/jenny+wedding+032.jpg" border="0" />The Wisenbaker siblings.

Dean was a bit tuckered out and fell asleep in the car on the way there - so only Kate got to pose iwth the flowers (more of a girl thing anyway). There are so many scenic parts to Georgia that I would never have come across to appreciate if it weren't for these events. </div><br /><div></div>It was really neat doing the race in the same park we were staying in - part of the run went past the RV site - were Kate an Dean waited to watch cheer me on. </div><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/SM1cP5DznqI/AAAAAAAAALQ/JX-TSpILYJ8/s1600-h/tugaloo+sept+2008+014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245950569041075874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/SM1cP5DznqI/AAAAAAAAALQ/JX-TSpILYJ8/s320/tugaloo+sept+2008+014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The birds in this picture had moments prior been on the beach.

When tagged, place the name of the person and URL on your blog<br />2. Post the rules on your blog<br />3. Write 7 things about yourself<br />4. Tag someone else<br /><br />7 Things About Me:<br /><br />1. In college I never EVER thought I would get married (or even wanted to) much less even considered having kids -- now I can't imagine life without Todd and kiddos<br />2. I went to speech therapy from 4th grade - 8th b/c I couldn't pronounce R properly (raised by yankees ;))<br />3. I have read and enjoyed all of the Harry Potter books.<br />4. I only watch romatic comedies or movies made for 13 year old girls. On the rare occasion I will watch an action movie or drama - but never ever EVER a horror movie.<br />5. The theme song to "The Right Stuff" (yes, the astronaut movie) will bring me to tears.<br />6. I was a cheerleader in highschool - but I have no rhythm so I had to fake the clap/stomp chants.<br />7. My goal is to do a 1/2 IM in 2009.<br /><br />I tag my family and the Sims family (yes -- all four of you!)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638284222952405212-2625716023488499234?l=homeofwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sandy Wisenbakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16259947079390192032noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638284222952405212.post-30471457802452159902008-03-23T15:15:00.009-04:002008-12-10T19:54:02.590-05:00<div align="center"> Kate and Dean - egg finders <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">extraordinaire</span></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181018650322947794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R-atAyMsTtI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Q656_p1oNc8/s400/easter+2008+034.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181018392624910018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R-asxyMsTsI/AAAAAAAAAE4/cWQ5aTYUw_M/s400/easter+2008+035.jpg" border="0" />We had a huge turn out and I think everyone had a blast! <br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R-at0CMsTwI/AAAAAAAAAFY/YgLwMAh_cgc/s1600-h/easter+2008+067.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181019530791243522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R-at0CMsTwI/AAAAAAAAAFY/YgLwMAh_cgc/s400/easter+2008+067.jpg" border="0" /></a> Sunday turned out a bit cooler than Saturday had been.

Didn't get to do as much as we normally would because of the weather - spent a lot of time hanging out inside.

No goalies - 4 kids on a side. A couple look like they know what's going on. The rest, Kate included, are just trying to kick the ball.

She now gets to hang out with a couple of her buddies from the daycare days...Mary Patton and Megan. And after a hard game of soccer the three got to kick back with a couple cold ones (juice that is) and cookies and catch up on old times. <br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><p></p></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638284222952405212-5289639390528549070?l=homeofwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sandy Wisenbakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16259947079390192032noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638284222952405212.post-60388306350102546362008-02-17T17:44:00.003-05:002008-12-10T19:54:07.236-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R7i5DqcPCAI/AAAAAAAAACs/2SzkgDah11I/s1600-h/P1030044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168084044991105026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R7i5DqcPCAI/AAAAAAAAACs/2SzkgDah11I/s400/P1030044.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yes, Todd did it again.

As of last Wednesday, we now have a puppy. She came with the name Brownie (but with permission of former owner) we have renamed her MIA. The name came from Todd - he reasoned that since that was going to be the name of our next girl, and this is the next girl it goes to her.<br /><br /><div>Mia has really made herself a part of our family. Dean, of course, absolutely adores her. Kate is still skittish. The plan is to crate train - but the past couple days I have been sick and when I've come downstairs in the a.m. - guess who is asleep on the fouton with Todd?? Or in bed with Dean? We'll see how long this crate training idea lasts. <br /><br /></div></div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168073049874827202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R7ivDqcPB8I/AAAAAAAAACM/-7sfJiZc12Y/s320/P1030041.JPG" border="0" /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168074407084492786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wp0mN9c9lGw/R7iwSqcPB_I/AAAAAAAAACk/ac0JWnAisuI/s200/P1030040.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>Note - Dean's hair (or lack thereof).
