Now THIS Is Relaxing!

How do you relax and eat?  Like this!
After riding his bike, he was hungry and tired!

My Mom would have smacked me for putting my feet up on my table!  Good thing he's at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

As Easy As Ridin' A Bike

Our Grandson was at our house on Sunday and my husband decided to have him try his bike without training wheels.  He wasn't too keen on this but went along with his Grandpa as he trusts him 100%!

 Here they are discussing strategy.
 Helmet--check, Grandpa holding on---check, and away we go!
 "Don't let go Grandpa!"
"I'm here. I won't let you fall."
 Keep pedaling--I'm letting go!


 Yippee!! On his own!
He had a couple bad falls. Here they are assessing the damage from the pedal that caught his leg.
We figured he'll live. Thank goodness.
It started to rain so we had to put the bike away.  It was a great day!

Track Meet in Hancock

Terra had a track meet at the new Hancock track.  The whole day was beautiful and at about 3pm it started to cloud up.  I thought maybe it would rain and I'd have to watch in the rain--wouldn't matter--I love watching her!

I got to the track and the wind had picked up and it was actually pretty cold. I always feel bad for the kids because they just have shorts and a tank on.


Terra raced in the 100m hurdles (2nd place), the 300m hurdles (3rd place) and the 400m relay (1st place).  She did awesome.  I am so proud of our little peanut tackling those hurdles.  She goes over them so easy!

Their next meet is in Negaunee for Regionals to quality for U.P.'s.  Good luck to Terra and her CHS track team.

Sweet Boy

My grandson found my music boxes in the china cabinet. At first I was a little relunctant to let him play with them, but changed my mind when I saw how he loves to wind them and listen to them.

He was having a hard day with his asthma so he sat on the recliner listening to the box and fell asleep.
I just love sitting and looking at him and am in total awe at how this boy has come so far after coming into this world so early and so very little.

I am forever grateful for the time we spend with him.

Copper Country Invitational Track Meet in Lake Linden

Terra had a track meet yesterday in Lake Linden.  After some rain in the morning and a little in the afternoon, it turned out to be a pretty nice day. 

Terra did well in her events.  Check out the pictures below.





She placed third in the 100m hurdles, fourth in the 300m hurdles and her 1600m relay team took third.
Her school took an overall second out of eleven schools attending.  GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Her next meet is in Ontonagon and I'm trying to get out of work to go.  Might have to be a bit under the weather that day......

Enjoying Frosting With A Little Cupcake

I made cupcakes for my daughter to bring to the Prom so the kids had some munchies for the evening.  We made a few extra with some extra frosting, 'cuz that's the way my Grandson loves them.
He had frosting all the way to his nose! The extra frosting was a hit!

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoy my pictures.  I sure do love my life!

2012 Jr. Prom

 My daughter had her Jr. Prom a few weekends ago. She looked absolutely beautiful!!
 This is her, her date and another couple that they are good friends with.  What a handsome bunch.
 The nephews were excited to come to the grand march to see Terra. Love having them all together.
This is Terra's best friend with her beau. So love this young lady!

 Terra was 1st runner up for Prom Queen and the young man was 1st runner up for King.
 My favorite picture of the two of them.

 Her cousins like to kid around with her!
 I love the color of her dress!

 Let's see the back!
Terra and her friend, Nikki.

She had a great time at the prom and after came to our house for munchies and movies with her friends. I don't know how late they stayed up, but I went to bed way before them.
