What a fun day. I was so happy to be there. Here is one more selection. What do you think?

Jen April 30, 2009

Today I'm 10 weeks and feeling pretty good.

Our back yard is our biggest enemy right now...it's holding water, needs to be re-graded and Joe wants to put sod down...uughhh!

Marla April 30, 2009

One of the "fabulous" dresses that Andrea tried on today...I can't tell you if it's "THE" one though...sorry.

Her new "pet." A slug that she found on the driveway after the rain.

Bowling Banquet

Jen April 29, 2009

This was all over the news and everyone was talking about it. Scary. Me and James are staying in and staying away from crowds for a while. Not sure how this would effect the baby so I'm just being safe.

Margie April 29, 2009

Went to cook a meatloaf and turned on the oven to preheat it to 350. Came back a while later and thought it was sure taking a long time to heat up. Came back a little later and realized that it definitely was not going to heat up. It was warm in there, but definitely not anywhere near 350. Next stop - Google, to figure out how to repair an oven. In the meatime, at least I have a microwave and crockpot.

Miranda April 29, 2009

We visited my dad and Brooks at the cemetery today...then drove by Juan's grave. Made me think about life and how God works in mysterious ways!

I have been trying to eat more of this. Hoping to get some of this extra poundage off. It's a start.

Cole's job when he gets off the bus.

Today James is 9 months old. We went to an open gym at gymboree and my Dad met us there. Can you find James in the second picture.

Margie April 28, 2009

Oh, here we are at the concession stand again. We have to volunteer to work 2 games per season. This is the 3rd game that we have worked. Hopefully it will be our last. I end up spending more money just sitting there, buying Jesse every tempting treat that he sees.

Maureen April 28, 2009

Hanging out in the car, after her soccer practice, waiting for Shelby's later practice to finish

We were out of everything. Time to go to Aldi's.

Jen April 27, 2009

Reading a bed time story before bed. We read a Thumper book with thumper. James held him the whole time.

Marla April 27, 2009

Oh, I love a rainy night...(but, really that's enough rain for a while...thanks)

Margie April 27, 2009

I built this doll house many years ago, before I had kids. When Nikki & Gabby were young, I let them play with it, and it got quite dilapidated. Now that we have an extra bedroom, I have room to pull it out of storage. Madi was thrilled with it. I plan to restore it to it's original beauty.

Miranda April 27, 2009

We did a lot of this today.... : )

Donna April 27, 2009

Ok, there's good news, and there's better news! The good news is that the trail was very clean! Almost no litter! The better news is that I walked it and am home, still breathing. to tell you about it! Whew!

Maureen April 27, 2009

Little angel statue in my back yard. For the life of me, I can't remember if she was here when I moved in, if I bought her or if one of you gave her to me for our wedding. I'm thinking it was a wedding gift, though, and I love having her and her little cherub friends there among the raspberries every year.

My Physical therapist and doctor have recommended that I get and use this tens unit for my back. It work wonders and I sometime think I should try the electronic shock to my head and see if it would do me any good. But I just found out today that the insurance company is not going to cover it and I need to return it:(

Jen April 26, 2009

Today we went to Coco Key. James, Joe, Janet, Ben, Gabbi, and Jacob,Amber and Zach came with too. It was sooo much fun me Joe and James went on the lazy river on tubes. James loved it! It was nice to be with family.

Margie April 26, 2009

Moving Jesse into Nikki's room, Madi's bed into Jesse's room, and Nikki's leftover stuff into Jesse's room. Still have lots to do...

Marla April 26, 2009

Well, I guess that the kids aren't going to playing basketball at our house for a while...

Dylan April 26, 2009


What I do when I am bored on Sundays. Don’t judge me. Lots of people like Dragonball Z.

Jen April 25, 2009


Today we went to Gymboree for the first time. James loves it and is going to go every week now. We also made him a ball pit and he loved it too.

Marla April 25, 2009

Eric, Ozzie and Cole at Geneva Baseball's opening day ceremonies.

Miranda April 25, 2009

Working out after baby sucks! : ) Wow....am I sore!

Maureen April 25, 2009

Farrell was ref'ing the game. He had to call this as a goal for the other team. I wasn't paying close attention because I was taking pics. But, it was so close and, right or wrong, it's kids playing AYSO soccer - not million dollar MLS soccer and the coach was way out of line to argue with our volunteer refs - especially the ones who are kids themselves. So very frustrating to see the coaches forgetting the principles behind AYSO.

Margie April 25, 2009

This is the corner store. It's in our old downtown area. Today on the way to Jesse's baseball game we saw a sign in the window that said, "Closing April 30." That's really sad. It was the old fashioned kind of store where the kids rode their bikes to and bought pop and candy. It was really convenient when we used to have to drive 15 miles to the nearest grocery store. But, we got a new Jewel a year or so ago, and I guess the corner store just couldn't hold it's own against the Jewel. At least my kids got a chance to experience the small town "corner store".

Farrell's whole class at space camp.

Jen April 24, 2009


Today we went out for our anniversary. My dad came over and watched James,and we went out for dinner then we went to the carnival. The only ride I could ride was the ferris wheel since I'm expecting. But I got some cotton candy that I have been craving it was such a beautiful day today. Joe also got me a card and Chocolate covered Strawberries mmmm.

Marla April 24, 2009

Let them eat cake

Margie April 24, 2009

I pulled out of the barn an armoir that Nikki had stored there. Washed it up and I will bring it to her tomorrow. I am having a harder time than I thought I would with her moving. It's just kind of sad. I never like change.

Donna April 24, 2009

I am a party pooper I know! But I didn't have 6 people to send this to outside the family, then I really didn't have 12, and I positively, FOR SURE, don't have 18!!!!!! ENOUGH! Love ya for thinking of me, but no mas...:)

Miranda April 24, 2009

Cheers!
