Friday~ July 10th 2009

First, let me start by THANKING Roxi!  Roxi bought me a 4 leaf clover for my pandora bracelet just because SHE SAYS SHE IS "JUST THAT KIND OF LUCKY"  Click on that for more info about that line!!  I love you Roxi and I AM THAT KIND OF LUCKY AGAIN!!
Tegan and Kelley called today from Colorado to ask about flowers for their wedding!! Yes, they were at a florist already getting all set for their upcoming wedding in June 2010!  A bride and groom on the ball... getting it done!!  Gotta love that... and I love them!

Oh me, Oh my...someone had a BIRTHDAY TODAY!  Happy birthday Debo!   Deb is the kind of girl who would do ANYTHING for you, all you have to do is ask!  She is the best~est ever! And yes, I love her too!!
A really big, big, milestone in Sarah Rose's little life!!  Beckie has been working with her to swim with NO WINGS ~~ Look Mommy... I can do it!!  SO EXCITING!  Now we just have to get her to put her face under the water and LOOKOUT~ there will be NO STOPPING HER!

Then, no to be outdone by her OLDER SISTER... Little Molly just jumped off the ladder... no wings... and tried swimming all by herself!  She loved it!
High Five for trying~~ But its wings all the way for this sweet babe.!!  I love them too!!
Sarah sat her "Friends" near by so they could WATCH her swim!!

Ryan, Cayden and Sarah also love the new BOAT!  It is so fun to ride and capture dolphins in it!

"Thanks for getting me this Mem" says Sarah!  

And the WALLS FALL DOWN!

Dan bought a house, Dan does some construction...oops... Destruction on kitchen wall... he paints, he sands, he moves in some furniture, realizes couch won't fit down in rec room so....

one more wall will have to come down and back up!!

Too much fun!  Dagmara gets credit for cell phone pictures! Sean, Pat, Dave and Dan after wall came down!   More to come!

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday Treat... a little late!  One precious boy, soon to be getting his first haircut!
Townsend Cayden, the 5th!  So handsome, isn't he?

Sisters, Sisters...

Sisters who play together... sisters who fight with each other! Sarah playing with Molly's new birthday present, Molly not to happy about that at all!

Bigger sisters who sometimes win ...

Little sisters who give in and really could care less

Sisters who stick by each other and are always looking out for the other one. This two are alot like that already. Sarah might have won this one but... just check out the shoes on little Miss Molly!! Why, Meme wants a pair just like them for herself! Molly may not have got her way this time but look out... this girl is starting to stand her own ground. She'll step her way to victory! So reminds me of these two... back in the day!


Beckie is the best Mommy! She is busy raising up two very different and beautiful baby girls! I love that she shares so much of them with me!!

Fabulous Fourth Of July!

We had a great time at Dennis and Meigs home on the lake!!  Matt put together ANOTHER great fireworks show for all of us.  The firework display rivals the one the city puts on!  Meig is in the picture above discussing  a favorite wine with Terry!!!
Dagmara, Sarah, Dan, Ella, and Kevin sit on the dock enjoying the view up!
Beckie & the girls, Dave & Molly, Larry, Bob & Dave, Molly, Bob & Kileigh, Don & Beckie, Sarah (ohhhhhh-ahhhhhh) Don & Sarah... all enjoy the fireworks!



Molly & Danny at the fence... Grebbie & her man Ty...Danny, Ethan, Ryan, & Alli... Nick & Reese!
Remember the thrill of THIS?  I do ... my Dad would spin me so fast it was hard to walk without falling down when he stopped!!  Uncle Dan is the Man for the job here.  The girls just kept begging for more!!!

Heard from Tegan and Kelley that they watched fireworks from the roof of their new townhouse in Colorado.  Thought of them often last night!

Thanks Meigan & Dennis.... It was a BLAST!

Happy Fourth Of July!

God Bless America!  Be safe...

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday Treats!

GOOD FRIENDS!


FACES LIKE THIS ONE...

While I was away...

My little Sarah Rose running in the "Run For The Young"!  Lesjak Planning and The Cleveland Clinic sponsor this race in Westlake at Crocker Park to raise money for childhood obesity awareness and prevention.  Big strides for a healthier community!  Beckie and Bridget ran the 5k while Sarah, with Mommy and Molly following, ran the kids 1 mile!  She did it all by herself this time!!  So proud of all of them!

I also received my SUMMER SWAP package!!  So adorable.  Notecards,Key Lime pie mix, napkins, plates, a book and fun flip flops picked out especially for me by my "fairy grandkids" in Florida!!!  Thank you Lani Ann- it was so fun to come home to a surprise package!  Blogging is just so much fun for me especially since I get to "meet", and I do feel like I personally "know" many new people that I call "FRIENDS"!!   

Come Away With Me...

 What a DAY!  The wedding day started out WET... rain, rain, rain!  By noon the sun was trying to shine.   The bride felt emotional, she said.  The parents told her it was normal.  Then she was off to her cabin with her girlfriends to have makeup and hair done.  Roxi, Sharon, Debbie and I were off to the Whiteface Resort to finish last minute preparations.   Everything looked so pretty!  Around 4 the decision had to be made... ceremony IN or OUTSIDE?  The bride was really hoping for outside so weather maps were consulted - we were told no more rain after 7:30 so, the cocktail hour was a little longer while we waited for the rain to stop!!  The bride shared with me her something OLD.  Her woobie, the tiny little piece left from it! 

7:20 ~ The skies start to clear for the bride and groom.  Friends move chairs that are wet, we will all stand for this!  The rainbow appears.  Melissa tells her Dad this is her favorite weather, her favorite feeling, the way she feels right after the rain. 
So it begins... Rick and his beautiful daughter Melissa.
The ceremony was a Jewish one and at one point the Rabbi did tell the couple that they were actually married but the ceremony wasn't over yet... this was Jason's reaction!!  
This was Roxi's reaction!  She just radiates love for her daughter and new son-in-law!

 The beautiful blushing Bride!

 The bride and the Tooth-fairy!

The bride's sister in law Selena sang Come Away With Me for the bride and grooms first dance.

Heartland sang "I Loved Her First" for the bride and her Daddy.

It was a very special moment for both of them.
Rick's toast included some tips on keeping Melissa happy... holding her hand, telling her bedtime stories, and lots of hugs,  were just a few of them.  We had a fabulous time.  The setting was breathtaking, the food delicious, and we were with treasured friends.  Only thing missing for me was  ... Dave.  All night I wished he were here.  I know how hard it was for him to miss seeing his best friend give away his daughter.  Lake Placid was a great place to visit!  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Jason Sonners!
