Fourth of July... All Wards~All Weekend!

Meigan and Dennis had their annual 4th of July party!
Dinner and Fireworks
All the out of town Wards came home for the weekend~
including number 9 grandbaby, Ainsley, who was baptized on 
Saturday July 6th!
Meigan was in her GLORY! Goat made shirts for each
and all 9, in their birth order number, posed for the camera!

How ADORABLE is that?
Number 10 is due in Sept~ thanks to Conor and Erin!

Kevin and his sweet Ava, looking so festive!
There was a PARTY in her hair!

Goat and Katie with their main man, Mac!

The lovely Miss Em~ looking beautiful in 
RED WHITE AND BLUE!

Dave and his buddy Danny

My Sarah and Molly found the perfect seat for the 
fireworks!

We had such a great day!  Thanks for another fun 4th of July Wards!
Matt did another FABULOUS job!

My girls...
So fun at the Wards!


On Friday we headed to downtown Cleveland
for a Cyle Tour~  Brendan, Kelly, Dave, Sue, Steve, Laura,
Gary, Kathy, Meigan, Dennis, Dave and I set out to
visit some bars in Cleveland!

Steve and Laura getting ready to peddle their way
around Cleveland!

We had to wave and smile for many camera's, as people had never
seen anything like this bike before!!

First stop...
We were feeling whipped from peddling so hard!~

Stops like this one...
kept us all well hydrated for the long ride!
Some were more thirsty than others...
Just saying!
SEE???

Another stop...
and yet another...
THE GIRLS...
THE GUYS!
Dave and I had so much fun!
After the bike bar ride, we headed to the Jake...
I WILL ALWAYS CALL IT THE JAKE!
to see the Indians take on the Detroit Tigers~
We had great seats, thanks again Dennis and Meigan,
right behind home plate!



It was a beautiful night in Cleveland!
The Tribe lost
but we had the best time
and the FIREWORKS were incredible! 

We loved having Steve and Laura stay with us and we
loved our ALL WARD ALL WEEKEND adventure!

My Brown Eyed Girl Turns 6!


Molly Carolyn is not a baby any more!
She is 6 now!
Ready for first grade in the fall!
She makes my heart beat...
Those eyes of hers melt my heart...

Her favorite gift...
Her new ballet tutu!
Molly says~
"I think Ballet is really my thing!"
Just don't give up the violin my dear!

Loving our PAPA!

Sarah and Molly got to celebrate Papa's birthday with him!
They were singing...
and wishing good things right along with Papa!
On Fathers Day they showered him with love...
and the BEST PAPA EVER award!
Papa got busy helping Beckie trim some trees!
Meme was a nervous nelly the ENTIRE time!
Just look at me at the ladder...
head in my hands... I just can't look!
Seriously... let's stop!
Cleaning out the gutters first~
Then trimming trees branches!
Look out below!
Kathy B... does this look familiar to you?  Remember the rope from
the W. 226th street tree we took down together?
Beckie and I are doing our best!
Well maybe not... We are just posing!   Dave took this picture before he went back up to cut
the branch we were going to pull away from the house!

Good news... we cleared the house!  We all worked so hard that day~
what a great work out!

Taking a five minute break at one point!
I'll take Pilates over manual labor any day!
Bek thought we were so funny sitting on her porch!
Dave also gave Beckie's riding mower a tune up!
She is ready to tackle all the summer chores at her house now!

Now she just needs to have the house painted...
Any takers?
Yikes!

Thanks Dave for being such a great Dad/Papa to our kids 
and their kids!
