Prom Night

Terra and I went to Lake Linden's Grand March to see her cousins (my nephews). Cory and Chris looked so handsome in their WHITE tuxes! Cory, Terra and Chris.

Always gotta be foolin' around! Ha!Ha! It doesn't look like Cory liked getting his hand licked. Love the look on Chris' face--looks mischievous!

Good thing Sarah is not whimp!! She handled 99% of Terra's weight!

Everyone looked fabulous. Hope they all had a great night at their prom!

Cory and Chris said they would take Terra next year!! I would so love to see them all go and get Robert to go too.

Mother's Day Photo Shoot

My daughter came out of her room on Saturday and announced that she was meeting up with her cousins to go have a picture taken for their Oma for a Mother's Day gift.
Just after that a big black vehicle drove up in my driveway. We couldn't figure out who it was....until Robert got out and waved to us.
I asked him why he was there and said that Chris had told him to meet for a picture for Oma.
There was some confusion....who was taking the picture? Where were you guys going to have the picture taken? Who set this up?
I met Rob's friends and we chatted for a few minutes and then Cory, Sarah and Chris showed up.
It seems that I was taking the picture and we were taking it in my yard! No matter, I sure didn't mind. I love all these kids and sure wish they would come around more.
So, the following pictures are of Oma's grandchildren.

Aren't they a good looking bunch?!

Love you guys!!

Playing Catch-Up

I'm trying to get caught up on my regular scrapbooking. I've been getting my daughter's sports pictures organized and finished two pages. This is Terra's 7th grade track picture. I am trying to get the professional pictures done first and then I'll scrapbook the pictures I took later.

Above is Terra's 8th grad track picture. The picture isn't the greatest but you get the idea.

I have so many pictures to get on to some kind of pages. I feel like I'll never get caught up, but I'll keep trying.

New Scrapbook

I have started a new scrapbook, imagine that! It's not the same as my other scrapbooks. This one is a day to day book to see what you and your family do in a year's time. I haven't been able to keep up with getting the pictures printed but I am keeping a journal of everything and when I get the pictures printed I do all the journaling. It's been really fun. I was reluctant to do this because I thought I had a really boring life, but I guess I need to look back on all our daily goings-on. I'll keep you updated on the progress of the book.

Sunday Drive

We took a drive this past Sunday to check out the ice and to see if we could spot any eagles or deer.

The ice just looks so cool out there!

The hubby is chugging thru the snow to see if he can spot any coyote tracks. The predator hunt is coming up!

More ice! We have lots of it here.

The above picture is of a hole in the ice that was spraying water but I wasn't fast enough with the shutter to catch the spray! It was pretty.

A lonely picnic table at the park.

Hubby trudging through more snow. Wish we would have brought our snowshoes. I would have liked to have gotten closer to the water.

We did spot one eagle but it flew away before I could take a picture of it. Didn't see any deer, just tracks and rubs.

Homemade Valentine Gift

I made these gifts for my grandson's pre-school teacher. In the cellophane bage is a cute pair of heart earrings. The two beverage containers have hot cocoa in one and marshmellos in the other.

Here is a close up of the earrings.

And here is a close up of the beverage holder.

Nathan has his valentine party this week, so we well be making cupcakes to bring to his friends. He also has some valentines that he will be filling out on his own. He has been practicing writing his name and is getting pretty good.

Girls Varsity Basketball

Calumet played a game against Lake Linden last night. It was a really good game and went into overtime. The girls pulled it out and won by ONE point.
The following are pictures of the game. ENJOY!
