Our History to go along with our present that you are going to share with us.

Back in 1982 David loved to play video games down at the old Tasty Cave. Not the kind of games the kids play today, but the first real arcade games that took a quarter to play. On these old time machines if you had the most points then you could enter your initials as high scorer. Because we were together and in love he wanted to put both of our initials up. I laughed and loved the idea. At first we said, DAT David and Toinia, but David said, "NO" it would be and will always be "TAD" Toinia and David and he wanted the whole world to know it. (Keystone was our whole world) Aww kind of cute right. Well now all these years later it is not just TAD but a few more. 10 to be exact. Miranda, David, James, Mary, Stephen, Aaron, Sarah, Daniel, Lawre, and baby Krissy. So you see we are Just a TAD more then when we first started out.

Happy 5th Birthday
to our Lawre!
Before the party began it was an organized room.
Early in the day, Daddy had a dump truck load of sand dumped out back
for the children to play in.
Lawre king of the pile.


First we decorated our building hats with stickers.
Lawre's was done with just one sticker.
Krissy used up many sheets of stickers on her hat.
She loves to bedazzle everything.
Aaron is still working on his but Daniel is done




I put little tonka trucks on the cake with frosting on them to make them look like they were making a road on top of the cake. Lawre loved it.
We had to light the candles 2 times.

He loved the big Tonka also!
Daniel was eating the frosting out of the bulldozer.


Grandaddy had a little hat on.

Everyone is a huckster.




Nurf wars had begun!
Grandma is ready.
Daddy has set up his camp.
Stephen is in the middle


James is throwing his darts, Randa is hiding in her bunker sending Sarah after more amo.

Aaron did something and James police got a hold of him. Randa, Sarah, and Mary have made a bunker to hide in. Daniel is quietly playing with one of the new toys at the table. Daddy and the rest are shooting as fast as they can.
Randa is reloading, Grandma is saying how long is this going to last?
Krissy wants me to reload her with darts.

They have Grandma up and she is in the middle of it now.
LeAnne thinks we are crazy.
Randa and Sarah on the attack.

Everyone is happy!
We have each other,
(Notice the people are on the floor while the pones are in the house.
I thought this and the fact that Lawre is so good about playing with his sister was just to cute.)
Getting a bathroom make over,
Official school year...
is coming to an end!!!
Oh yah

I found this picture at 2am and up loaded it to the computer. I printed a copy of it and framed it then put it inside of the blue purse that Mary Lou is caring in the pic. Then on her birthday I gave her the purse. She loved it! When she out grew the purse she gave me the purse and I have had it all these years. The pic is of Mary Lou, Heribert, Dad and Myself on the fist day of school.

I asked my Dad how he picked out our names and he told me that Mary Lou was named after mom Louise Mary. When Mary Lou was a baby he would sing to her this song from Rickey Nelson. I was jealous that I didn't have a song.

On April 9th, 2011 Miranda and I went to Paula's
to get ready for Mary Lou's 50th birthday party.
It was a lot of fun putting together our outfits
and helping one another get into them.
Mary Lou was totally surprised that we came to her party.
"The Cousins"
Toinia, Charity, Miranda, Lacy, and Amaris
The table was set so nicely and the food was delicious.


Back at Joe and Paula's for some more pictures and to get changed.
Then we went out to dinner for Lobster of course.

Walt Disney World
"2011"
The Five Amigos
Aaron loves Matter!
Cars is great!
Climb into my web said the spider to the fly

Aaron stole the whole show when he by surprise to everyone when
he bowed and kissed the princess hand.
Sarah was with her favorite princes but felt all shy.
She was saying that his fairy god mother must have trained him well,
as she was looking at me

OK Self Photo
Miranda has always said that she was Eeyore and now we have the proof.
For years Daniel has been upset with himself for not taking pictures with all of the Disney characters. He has been talking about going back to Disney and taking pictures now that he was older and he could do it. Well, as you can see he still didn't like it and really had a hard time with it at first. After a few days he was more comfortable and we have a few with him in the pic. and smiling. But not this one.
LeAnne took a picture of a picture
In the front getting soaked is
Lawre, Mommy, and Daniel
James, Sarah, LeAnne
Galen, Miranda
Mary, Aaron, and Stephen
Krissy had a great time on the horse with LeAnne
Daddy always has a good time on his rides.
Krissy is happy as she was the whole time we were at Disney


Dumbo, Daddy and Daniel
Stephen took a great picture

James' pic of the castle and fireworks. My absolute favorite
To see Tinker Bell fly is special for us all.



The first night at Disney was cold and Stephen wanted to take this picture and we were all very ready to head back to the camper. Lawre is not crying and Galen is not singing but Daniel is pouting.
