Aren't they cute in their matching jackets and hats? Now they just need matching shoes and a purse and they are ready for a night out on the town!

This was right before bed time!

Another baseball game. They won 5 to 8. I love night games - just wish it was warmer out.
I used to babysit for that kid on the left.

I think roses look and smell even prettier as they start to wilt & dry.

Cole took a step back in time today to the 1900's to experience life as a pioneer.

This is one of those cards with what happened the year you were born. This is Mirandaa's year. Hmmm, the cell phone was invented in 1978? Coincidence? (Love you Mir...)

Miranda May 18, 2009

I can't get enough of Portillos chocolate cake!

Donna May 18, 2009

When I got up this morning, the remote on the left wouldn't work. So I tried smacking it, then changing batteries, nothing. Frustrated, I started making the bed to go to work...when I found the REAL bedroom remote! I must have carried the one from the front room in there last night. Calgon, take me away!

This is my porch couch. It is really an old day bed I found in the garbage. I got foam for a mattress. It is so comfortable. We really enjoy sitting out on it. I know this will never leave my possession. There are many memories attached to it. We have had it about six years.

Today I dress James up in his Astronaut outfit his Grandma gave him. Then I went to my friends Baby shower. I'm finally feeling so much better. It was nice seeing my friend.

Marla May 17, 2009

We rearranged Cole's room today...He's got bunk beds again. They used to be separated...one was in his room and one was in the basement.

Showing Bryce around backstage after the last show

Margie May 17, 2009

Look at this! No one is home. That never happens. They all went fishing and I had the entire house to myself!
P.S. Happy Birthday Mom!

Today was funny James kept messing with Juneau's ear and Juneau let him for a while but then Juneau just moved away from him. It was weird because Juneau hates when anyone messes with his ears but he was ok with James. Plus I bought this fabric and made James a blanket.

Annie at the Kids Cast Party

Marla May 16, 2009

I was trying to get a picture of my new planter. They gave me the big planter for Mother's day (with a hint from me) and I bought flowers to put in it a few days ago. Eric transplanted the plants for me today (as part of my Mother's day gift). I mentioned that I was going to make it my "picture of the day" and Cole would not let me get a picture of it without him in it (he kept jumping in my shot...so, I just decided to use this photo...the rest of them are really silly).

Margie May 16, 2009

Went to a party at the home of Jesse's Big Brother/Big Sister. Their daughter graduated from college.

Miranda May 16, 2009

We watched our favorite show tonight..."Prison Break"...

Fun afternoon.

Jen May 15, 2009

Today I went to the doctor since I wasn't feeling well and I have a sinus infection. Now I'm on antibiotics. I went to get my meds and saw tigger and a book it's from James favorite show. He loved it and was so happy when I brought it home. He is feeling much better now.

Maureen May 15, 2009

Molly made the kids cool candy flower bouquets! Everyone backstage thought they were great!

Miranda May 15, 2009

We took Gianni to have an ultrasound done on his hips today..it was a routine exam because he was born breech. He was so good...and then he peed on the tech! : )

Margie May 15, 2009

Jesse got his tetnus shot to complete his physical for entering high school in the fall. He was so nervous about it, so I just scheduled it as soon as possible to get it over with. When it was over, he said it wasn't so bad - just like I had told him!

Marla May 15, 2009

3rd grade boys. We were supposed to have a walk-a-thon after school today. But, because of all the rain today they had the kids go to the gym and have a dance-a-thon. Which ended up not being very organized and turned into somewhat of a run-around-the-gym-a-thon.

Farrell hogging Joshwa at Farrell birthday dinner.

Mrs. Kennath, Cole & Cole. Bowling at Funway. We bid on this bowling and pizza party with a teacher (Cole's Accelerated Enrichment teacher) at the school fun fair.

Margie May 14, 2009

It's the LIBRARY.....what did you think it was???
Madi's preschool went on a field trip there. She wrote a thank you note. She drew the first floor, then she added the second floor where the children's room is. I wonder if her teacher is going to send it to them? This one is definitely going into her memory box!

Miranda May 14, 2009

Well....I'm officially a stay at home mom! I resigned from my job today!

Jen May 14, 2009

woo hoo, Done with the 1st Trimester. Can't believe I'm 3 months pregnant already this is going fast. Doctor is predicting that I will have the baby early again. But Today I'm more sick and poor James is still sick, I feel so bad when I hear him coughing and sneezing. Poor little guy.

Maureen May 14, 2009

They all wore their Joseph shirts to school, today!

Keno chillin.

Jen May 13, 2009


Me and James woke up not feeling well today. Today was my ultrasound. I can't believe the baby actually looks like a baby and not a peanut anymore. Poor James was really sick though.

Donna May 13, 2009


Ok.So yesterday I read an article that said you should ask the angels for a sign. I asked this morning for a sign from mom/dad. The cryptogram was quoted from Margaret blah, blah. And the last customer of the day was PEG. Unusually I went to the Moose and they play a game on Wed. (No bowliing). Roger won, but I picked the number (out of 100). Picked 17. He said ''shoulda picked 10". Won the jackpot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maureen May 13, 2009

Fitting homework in during rehearsals

Margie May 13, 2009

Reading an article about jellyfish facts that Aunt Colleen sent to Madison. She was so happy to get mail. After I read all of the facts to her, there was a quiz at the end. She got all of the answers correct! She loves jellyfish!

Stephen was taking Keno for a run. This is right before Stephen totally wiped out. He tripped on a rock. Big black and blue mark. Keno was fine.

Jen May 12, 2009

In the morning Jess woke James up and played in his ball pit with him. We went out to eat for lunch and poor James was so tired and fell asleep. People would walk past him and say aww poor little guy, he must be really tired. Then later we went shopping and then dropped Jessica off at work. It was nice spending the day with Jess.

Marla May 12, 2009

Vaughn got the "Outstanding Leadership" award at his orchestra concert tonight. He is the President of the Symphony orchestra after all.

Maureen May 12, 2009

The Kids' Chorus in the hallway between scenes at rehearsal. The boy on the right is not enjoying being in the show at all. The kids say that his sister has promised him a double cheeseburger from McDonalds as a reward when it's all over.

Margie May 12, 2009

My lilacs are smelling so good right now. Every time I walk by, I have to stop and take a big smell. The smell reminds me of May Crowning at St. Peter's and Memorial Day parades with the Girl Scouts - bringing bouquets of lilacs, tulips and Mom's irises from the side of the house - the stems wrapped up in wet napkins covered with aluminum foil.

Miranda May 12, 2009

We got this coffee maker for our wedding...we have only made coffee in it a couple of times because it leaks..so, I called Cuisanart and they are going to send us a brand new one for $10! I was shocked..I didn't have to provide a receipt or anything...I hope the new one works!
