Welcome!

I've finally caved & decided to start blogging. I hope I can keep it up-to-date. I'm totally addicted to cross stitching
(I've been told it's an old lady hobby, I guess that means I'm an old lady!) so there will be a lot of cross stitching posts.
There will be pictures of the kids, both 2-legged & 4-legged, Chase, Carter, Baby Hank, Bullseye, Molly, & Baby.
I hope you enjoy reading, I promise to try not to bore you too much. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Memorial Day 2009

On Memorial Day, Legion Post 430 holds a ceremony at the cemetary to honor those who have sacrificed their life for our freedom.

The Boy Scout & Cub Scout troops join the Legion & march from the Legion Hall to the cemetary.









As the names of those soilders who have made the ultimate sacrifice are read the scouts place a flag next to their headstone. Here is Chase putting up a flag. Carter was on the other side of the cemetary so we couldn't get his picture. We've been doing this now for 5 years & this is the first year we've been sitting in the right spot to get a picture of them!









Also this year, joining Legion Post 430 in their march, was Joe Ryan. Joe is Chase & Carter's step-father. He returned from Iraq on May 16th, after being away from home for almost a year.
