Big News...

HELLO?
Have you heard?
Did you read the local papers?

My Meme is coming to my preschool to do some 
MUSIC IN MOTION!
Funny picture in the paper... you can't even see my Meme!


Ha!  I had a GREAT time doing Music In Motion for 
Mya's preschool~  They all were so excited to learn some
fun songs with Miss Diana!  
The best part was seeing some familiar little faces like
Gwen, Colin and Avery!

It was fun to see Mya in action too!
Tea party time with her friends Bella and Colin!


"This is my seat Meme!"

While Cyle and Bridget celebrated this...
Their 6th wedding anniversary~
They took a week off to be "alone"~
or as Cayden liked to say~
"On a date"

I got to spend a week with Cayden  and Mya!
I drove those country roads like no body's business~

Back and forth from Mya's school to Cayden's school!
Mya and I spent quality time together while waiting for Cayden
to be done at school!
Singing.... You belong to me and doing trumpet sounds with her lips!
Funny girl!

She is a friendly little one~
hollering to Cayden's bus driver Becky!

She steps right up to say Hello to the office staff inside the school!

Mya pointed out something very exciting~
On the WALL OF HONOR
she found a certain little face she loves!
It is her big brother Cayden!
Congats big guy~ you rock!


On October 13th 1979
I married this man.
He has helped me to realize every dream I ever had,
one was to be a MOM.
We have been married 34 years and while it
has not always been easy, we both have made it work!
Today I love him more than ever~
He is the best Husband, Father, and Papa
there is...
and he is pretty darn good looking... isn't he?

Happy Anniversary Dave
Happy Anniversary to John and our angel Gert
Happy Anniversary Bri and Cyle
October 13th
has been a great day for all of us!

Face Your Fears!

On board the Norwegian Breakaway
there is this little ropes course...
SEE IT?
On the very top of the ship~
I did it with Dave, Rick and Roxi ~
I faced my FEAR of HEIGHTS!
Everyone kept saying...
"You can't fall~"
Falling wasn't what scared me... it was just being up that high in the air!

Dave was behind me the first time and said my legs were just shaking!!
There is this little thing called a PLANK.

You can walk the PLANK...
right out over the water~

See this guy...
I was so FREAKING SCARED that I 
DID NOT walk the PLANK that first day I did the course.

Afterwards, I was so angry at myself...
thinking if I could do all the ropes, surely I 
could walk the PLANK~
SO I WENT UP THERE A SECOND TIME!
Dave stayed down below with my camera and telephoto lens to capture
my sheer terror~
You had to choose ways to get to the PLANK!
Yea... that's me holding others up while I panic!
Roxi was my cheerleader... telling me to 
"STOP CRYING... YOUR FINE!"
Not really, she encouraged me to keep going~
telling me I was doing so great!

Good job with the camera Dave!

Meanwhile,
Rick was running all over the course!

Slow and steady...

Roxi was a pro too!

Look how I "edited" out the tether rope!
Roxi IS walking the PLANK!

NO FEAR!

Here I am.
Here I go.
Ready?

One foot...
Two feet...
I DID IT...
I AM DONE...
LOOK OUT,
 I AM GOING BACK IN!

HANG ON TO THE POLE FOR DEAR LIFE!

SHOW OFF!

You end it all with a zip line ride over the pool area~

You have to start off running...

Then 
SCREAM!



One more tricky rope to get through...

What are they laughing about, I wonder?

Seriously,
I am proud of ME!
(even if I only took 2 steps out on that darn thing!)

How can this be... Layla Lynn is 3!


This angel was born on October 12, 2010

She was adored the moment her parents saw her face~
She means the world to all of us!
From her gigles to her little mannerisms~
we are mesmerized by her every move!

She is her Mommy's mimi me!

1 year old~



2 year old~



This past year it has been fun to watch her grow~
Her personality is pretty BIG!

She is her Papa's sweet girl~

She is my littlest GEM

The apple of  Pop~ay's eye~
 

A school girl~

Layla Lynn is just so fun~
Even Bo and Walter love to be near her,
they are her guardians!

Her Dramma can't get enough of her!
Layla broke her arm recently~
I am so happy she has Dramma close by to 
snuggle and spoil her like I would love to be
doing!

The sweet little face time face I get from her!
Layla isn't big on face time but I know
she knows just who loves her 
and just how much!

I love her so much~
Layla Lynn
You are 3 today and I want you
to know that Meme and Pop-ay love you more
and more each and every day!

Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!
We wish we were there but we send love and can't wait to see you
in a few weeks!

Hugs and Kisses
