My bad.....

Hello family!!

I am trying to update our "events" calendar on the right, and I need some help.

First, I must apologize for being so far behind. I don't think that I put up anything for September.....so if I missed something important, I am SO sorry. If I have dates wrong, just let me know so that I can fix them. (I am going off memory...I don't have a calendar!!!)

Also, let me know what's going one with you guys, and if there is something I need to add, I would love to add it.

Our family blog has become very boring....let's spice it up. Any ideas on how we can do that? We need to do another tag or something (Shelly, you always have great ideas...please share!!)

And last, but not least, I think that the family reunion is back on! HORRAY! Let's get the dates set in stone so that we can all start making plans to be here, and saving up. I think, tentatively, it is set for the last week of July 2010....I'm thinking Mom said the 25th-30th, or there abouts. Let's set it and start planning.

Let's get this blog rolling again.....I want to hear from everyone, and I'm sure everyone wants to hear from everyone too.....

Family Additions

The BEST addition........Llittle Miss Sophie.......she is such a DOLL! And look how the boys already LOVE her...........watch out mommy and daddy!
Sophie is so sweet and calm........but when you do something she doesn't like, she will yell at you!! I can't wait to see her again! She is a cuddler.



This is our "it's about time" addition. Finally a decent car for dad and I. No one under the age of 20 is EVER allowed to drive this one!!

Chevy Malibu.........2006...........nice drive.


Then here is the newest addition...........
Stephen's $650 1996 Grand Prix. Pretty nice car, really. He did a good job!
Well, that's what is happening here in Missouri.........what is happening in your worlds?

REUNION?

OK...........it looks like The Claybrook Family Reunion is again under construction. We need everyone to agree on a date. Since the semester is over for Shyanne the 3rd week in July (isn't it?) then maybe we can say the last week of July to be our reunion time? Yep, it will be hot and humid, sorry, but August would be worse!! EVERYONE needs to agree with this date or come up with another one. Shyanne and Adam, Sally and Jake.........we need to hear from you. What do you all think? (I think I am getting excited about the whole thing all over again after the big "crash" I had.)

Have to Re-Think

Look's like a family reunion in June is not going to be possible. Shyanne will be in the middle of a semester and hopefully Stephen will be too. If Stephen goes on a mission, we will try to have a reunion just before that, if not, we will try for some other time. If you have any suggestions, we are open......it really is time to start our own family reunions.

By the way, this blog is a little stale..........come on family.........we want to see some action!! I know things are happening in everyone's lives.........kids grow.......parents are made......life happens......time to share!!

Did we decide??

Did we, as a family, ever decide if we are going to have a "family reunion" next summer, or not? If, so, did we come up with what this family reunion would include? And, when it would be?
