19 years ago Wow!

On May 22nd I woke up in pain, 4hrs later I had a screeming 8lb. 6oz. baby girl. We came home on Jon's 1st birthday. That year was very hot for May, She didn't want anyone but me to touch her. She screemed all the time, when she wasn't sleeping. Poor Jon was hot and teething, he just wanted baby to stop crying.He was trying to hug her to make her stop.

We got this picture without Sara crying because I was holding her. What angels!Jon still has that look - just make it stop.

Now she is her own woman and living her own life. She went from 19" to now 5'4". Best wishes Sara in your life's path.

20 years ago WOW!

I can't believe on May 23rd I smelled a lilac,my water broke,and 5 1/2 hrs later I had a bouncing 7 lb. 10oz. baby boy. My life changed for ever. My life had an all new meaning. He loved his bow and arrow.And Nana's house.

guess who this is. hint how do you like the 56 in the back ground?Do they look alike?I think they even have the same hair cut.

For those of you that don't know that I have other children then Mag. This is my first born. My son. He went from 21in. to 6'5" and now he's 20. He doesn't know I have this pic. He doesn't like his picture taken. I'm very proud of the man he has become. I'm sure that his Nana and grampa would be very proud of him. Happy birthday son.

A Day at White Lake

Our first day in May that was in the 90's. So we went to White Lake Park. It was a great day. Nice breeze,so the bugs wasn't bad, or to hot. I can't believe that the kids went all the way in the water. I did stick my toes in and that was enough for me until maybe August. The gates were blocked off, so we had to hike in a ways. Double the work out. (goody) I think that Selena could carry some more stuff. I see an empty hand.

Mag and Emmy having fun in the( I think ) cold water.

I love this pic of the girls.

There was still time for girl talk, and some sun. I love this pic.

Molly is done, done, done, she is ready for a nap. She's soooooo cute.

Molly is tring for her second wind. go girl.

A little more down time at the lake. It doesn't get much better than this.

Silver Star

On May 1st in Schouler Park each year The Silver Star Banner flag will be raised, in honor of the warriors who are wounded or ill while in service during war time. I tried to get close enough to read this monument.

This is the full size Silver Star Banner flag.

This is the personal size flag and certificate that each person would recieve.

Here is my oldest brother waiting to help raise the flag.

Here is the Silver Star Banner flag being raised.

Here the Silver Star flag is blowing in the wind proudly.

Here is my brother(2nd from the left) and some of his army budies. I 'm really proud of him and all the people who has and are putting their lives on the line for all of us. (Thanks Guys!)

Road clean-up, going green

On 5-8-09 the Homegrown/Little Explorers group did a going green clean-up day.Here Emmy is getting ready for some hard work. Here is half the group on the left side of the road.

Here is the other half of the group on the right side of the road.

Here the kids are working hard to get all the trash.

Here Mag comes out with her trash treasures.Great Job!

Here is a group pic with just a small amount of trash.The group is so proud of themselves.

And they should be, they did a great job.

Some more trash!

Here is an interesting sign at the site where the group cleaned-up. The writing says - no trash pick up. you lug in you lug out . So by the amount of trash the group got, I guess alot of people can't read. (That's sad!) Awesome job kids keep up the good work!

Making donuts

On 5-15-09 Mag and I got creative and made applesauce donuts. I now can use up all those apples in the freezer. This is Mag's first time using the deep fryer. She learned VERY HOT!!!! After a while. (just joking) Maybe.

This is some of the finished product. ( I want more)

Then we got even more creative, and started dipping the donuts in chocalate.

Then we got EVEN more creative and put sprinkles for all the seasons,coconut,mini m&m's. The donuts was all gone by the next night, even the holes. My grandfather use to say -don't eat the donut hole you'll get a pelly ache.

MMMMmmmmmmmm GOOD !!!

Rainbows

On 5-9-09 a Saturday, after it rained really hard, I was going to a Shaws brother's concert at the New Kennett High School, (Yes it looks like a prison!) I rounded the corner and was graced with this beautiful rainbow, not one but two rainbows.

Here you can see the second rainbow. It was awesome! I just feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Below I'm hoping you can see the full rainbow. I drove throw the arch of the rainbow. It was the best part of the night. (yes the concert was REALLY FUN also.) I'm still looking for that pot of gold!
