Nearing the End of the School Year

The end of another school year is getting closer.

Kids don't go on exciting field trips much any more. Instead they play games on the playground. They seem to enjoy it!

Mother's Day

I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day.

With the help of Teresa, Jamie and Michael I was able to get my driveway sealed before the winter salt treatment stuff absolutely ruined it.

Instead of trying to fight the crowds we had a barbecue at home. What better way to get family pictures.

While waiting for Teresa to finish barbecuing the hamburgers, the kids entertained themselves with a deck of cards. It took me awhile to find the cards but I knew I had a deck somewhere. Maybe the cards were hard to find because of my shock of the kids wanting a deck of cards instead of playing on their iPads!

I try to update a picture I have around my house of Melissa with her kids. Success!

Another photo I wanted was of me and my kids. We tried one up close and then a little farther away. I think I look better farther away plus we were all squinting without sunglasses. But unclose it was.

What a great day full of fun and not too much drama! 

Hazel's Baby Book

I did it! After 6 years of procrastinating, I finally finished Hazel's baby book.

My goal is to finish Goldie's and Pearl's baby books before the end of the year. I really don't know why I keep putting it off. The books look so good when I'm finished and I love the feeling of accomplishment. Let's see if I can stick with this goal!

Flag Football and Soccer

It's the end of flag football and soccer season and with all the make up games I got a little tired of watching games.

But Pearl and I were troopers and showed up for Hazel's soccer game. Lincoln had already played his flag football game and this was Hazel's second soccer game of the day. What's a little sunburn when you have suckers! 

Happy Birthday Michele!

While neither Michele nor I count birthday years anymore, Michele did celebrate...let's call it another "trip around the sun".

Just a small celebration with her and Bruce and just about every fast food place in Aurora! Happy Birthday Michele!

Lincoln's Pick 6

I love watching the Chiefs play football and consider myself a pretty avid fan. It wasn't until sometime last season when I found out what a "Pick 6" meant. I actually thought it was like a betting thing like playing the lottery. Turns out it's when a defensive player intercepts the ball and scores a touchdown.

Doesn't happen very often but Lincoln actually had his first Pick 6 at flag football. We weren't able to capture a picture of the actual touchdown but this shot is pretty impressive.

Michele & Bruce - 50 Years

Talk about a milestone. Michele and Bruce have been married for 50 years.

They went to Loveland, CO to buy a love lock that they were supposed to lock on to the public art sculpture designated for the locks. But Michele decided it might be better off with her at home. Happy Anniversary!
