Charity Shoot


Caleb organized a chairty shoot for his friend Kenny Raber from church. Kenny was in the hospital for several weeks and Caleb did this to help with some of the bills.

Nick donated all the meat and buns from his company Meats in Motion. Brian and I spent the day out there helping Caleb.

Nazarene Night at Worlds of Fun


We took Blake and Grace to Nazarene Night at Worlds of Fun. The weather was a little chilly but at least it wasn't raining.

Brian and I have been going to Nazarene Night for 36 years and in those years we have gone in all kinds of weather. The first one we went to was in 1976 when we were dating. We went after we were married. Then after the boys came, we took them. When they were older, we went with the Jr High kids from church when we were sponsors. We went with the college kids from church when we worked with them. Then we had grandkids and we started with taking Noah when he was just big enough to go, not sure of the year. Last year we took Noah, Brooklynne, Carter and Jentry. This year it was Blake and Grace's turn. What fun.

We have missed a few years along the way but have made it to the majority of them. Maybe one of these days we will be able to take the great grandkids. :)

Relaxin'


This pretty much sums up our evening, sitting on the couch with our feet up, watching TV.

Enjoying Spring


It was a "sit out on the porch swing with a good book and a glass of iced tea" kind of day.

Some Completed Pages


After spending several days organizing and buying paper and stickers, I finally sat down and got some scrapbook pages done today.

I'm working on old pictures for our family album, starting with when Brian and I started dating in Nov. of 1975. Thats a long time ago and a ton of pictures ago.

This picture isn't a great photo but it was bedtime and I realized I hadn't taken a picture for the day so this was the best I could come up with. It was how I had spent my day but I didn't do much in composing a picture and getting the lighing just right. At least its a picture and I didn't miss a day. :)

Sleepy Time


The kids spent the night tonight. Blake and Grace were already in bed and Gage was sitting on the couch with Grandpa watching TV. He was ready to go to bed.

This is the way he has always sucked his fingers. The only time he sucks them is when he is tired and ready for a nap or bedtime.

Archivers


Okay, I'm sure there is a support group somewhere for me. Yes, I went back AGAIN today. I blame this trip on Jennifer. She hadn't been to the sale yet. I think she was secretly hoping the sale would end and she wouldn't have gone and spent any money. Well, it was still going on today. I will say, I only picked up a few pieces of paper today. This sale needs to end soon or I'm going to be in big trouble.
