Spring Pictures

Here are Chase & Carter's spring pictures from school.
The school used a new company this year, they did a pretty good job.
They actually got a good picture out of both of them!

Silly kids!!!

I've got some CRAZY kids, 4-legged kids that is! Bullseye & Molly are usually quite the comical dogs when I get the camera out. Baby could care less about the camera, as it requires her to hold still for too long!

Bullseye- sticking his tounge out at me as I'm trying to take his picture. I guess this is his way of telling me "don't take my picture, Mommy".

Molly has found a new perch. This window looks out into the backyard. Now between her two perch's she has most of the yard covered, she can always be on the lookout!

Stiching

I haven't gotten as much stitching done as I'd like to this past week. But something is better than nothing. :)

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.

Spring Fling Exchange

I participated in a spring fling exchange & here is the package I got from Glynda. She sent me the most AWESOME stuff!!!!

Glynda lives in Canada so she sent me some Canadian items- a journal, a clip, some candy, & a windchime. The she also sent me some pink floss, a magnetic notepad, some spring ribbon, pretty spring napkids, smarties (maybe since they're from Canada they will make me smarter?!?- LOL), heart buttons & 2 ornaments for my ornament tree.

I LOVE all of my stuff! Thanks, Glynda, you ROCK!!!!

The last track meet

Today was Chase's last track meet.

Here he is waiting for the sprint medley to get to him. He was pretty disappointed that he had to run the last leg of the race, the 400 meter. I actually got a smile out of him!









The last run of the meet. The kids have to pick to run either the 800 meter or the mile. Chase picked the 800 meter, this is him on his first lap.









Finishing the sprint medley.
