Flashback

An old friend was digging through old photos and sent me a copy of a picture taken on a float trip back in I believe the late 80's.

This sure brought back memories. Good or bad it doesn't matter. I looked good!

Michael Jackson The Movie

Violet wanted to go see the Michael Jackson movie so we went together. I didn't realize Michael Jackson is only 4 years younger than me. The movie covers the first 30 years of his life when Michael Jackson was mostly singing with his brothers - The Jackson 5.

The kids these days are watching Michael Jackson videos of his dance moves. Lincoln is constantly doing the moon walk whenever I see him. I told Violet that Michael Jackson was the Taylor Swift of the 70's and 80's. I highly recommend seeing the movie and can't wait until the next one comes out.

Hummingbird Feeder

I usually put out my hummingbird feeder each Spring. I was a little late this year, maybe...when do hummingbirds start coming around?

I didn't have it set up for very long before the same hummingbird returned. I know it's the same one because of the white ring around its neck. While I'm not an expert on hummingbirds, I don't think all of them have that white ring. I'm calling it my hummingbird anyway. By the way, her name is Jaunita! Juan and Edwardo are the other 2 but I haven't seen them around.

Pearl Working the TV

I did a littler babysitting with Goldie and Pearl. After reading several books to them I decided to put on the TV to a show the kids might like. As with all electronics, I couldn't figure out how to turn the stupid TV on. Pearl wanted the remote so I figured she couldn't break it if I couldn't even turn it on.

Next thing I now Pearl's intently watching her favorite show on the TV. How do kids do it?

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!
