Bo's 5th Birthday

Bo turned 5 on February 19th and we celebrated with Grandpa Charlie, Grandma Mary Kay & Unc D (yes ladies, he's single) at El Rodeo. The boys think they have to wear the sombrero on their birthday! Later we had cake with the Bayless family, Ryder, Rick & Payton. Check out Granton's cool faux hawk & the hat Jenni made Bo.

Bolivar District Sweep!

Bolivar boys had not won a district since 1960 and they beat Marshfield Friday night to "make history"! #2 ranked Bolivar girls played #1 ranked Marshfield girls Saturday afternoon for the District Championship and won! (What would we do without the Guiots to entertain us with sporting events?) As you can imagine, Dwain's already started designing the t-shirts and as you can see, Jake doesn't care.

A Family of Sweater Vests!!!

Few people will really appreciate this picture, but for those of you that do... yes, we are nerds! :) Awhile back someone told Dwain he looked thin in a sweater vest, sooooo he wears one every chance he gets. It's a joke among freinds about all Dwain's vests, and the boys want to look like Dad. So here you go, the whole family, looking thin in sweater vests!!!

Wooderson Baby Shower

Tonight we had a baby shower for Clint & Jessica Wooderson's baby boy, Avery. Jessica is an AMAZING Creator Designs artist!

Preston's Baptism

We love Preston, the "snuggle buddy"! We are thankful for the example he set for the boys by being baptized today and sharing his personal testimony. (Brittany & Aunt Melly, these pictures are for you!)

Hugs and Kisses on V-Day 2008

Good times at the Banner house... God blessed us 1st thing this V-day with sunshine and a pink sky! Just in case the kids' teeth aren't already rotting out, we had parties & candy galore. Dwain & I actually went to lunch by ourselves! Then for dinner Adrienne, Ryder & Rick joined us. Above, the boys are showing off their cards, presents & money from Grandparents.

Crystal's Senior Night

The Guiots and Dwain are at the SBU game so I was "the mom". What an honor! Crystal played good and they beat Nixa. It was fun to be a "girl mom" at least for one night:)

We need a little Spring around here...

It's such a dreary, icy day... just wanted to be reminded of the good times ahead - suntans, watermelon & playing outside. Ecc. 8:15, "So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun."

Happy Birthday Jennifer

We miss you Jennifer & Jonathan (aka Jonnifer) and we hope you have a great birthday! Come see us soon.
