THEY CALL ME... MEME!

As requested...

Cyle, Cayden's daddy, brought one of the baby bunnies into the house to show Cayden. Cayden was not afraid at all of the bunny... Unlike Meme, who totally FREAKED!!



Just so you know... No bunny was injured in the above picture even though it looks like Cayden might have hurt him!!



Our baby bunnies from the front yard have grown big enough to leave their nest with their mommy! It was so fun for the girls and Cayden to have them nest in our front yard!!

You Capture... Motion!

It's that time again... You Capture!  Beth at I should be  folding laundry set the new challenge :  MOTION.  My entry is Sarah jumping off the edge of the pool to her float at our Florida home in Bonita Springs!


Just look at that form... toes pointed, legs straight, arms out ...

Now for the shot of my husband, the wizard, practicing his broom flying skills!!

Firestone

Dave and I went to Firestone Golf Course in Akron yesterday to see the pro's up close and personal!!  We followed Tiger around  for a couple of holes and then went to the 11th green.  There we found a shady spot to sit on the grass.  The pin was placed so far back that it was close to where we sat!   It was exciting to see Tiger in real life!!  After Tiger played the 11th hole, we moved to 18 to sit and watch the end of the Bridgestone Tournament.  Tiger and Harrington were tied on 15 so we were excited it was going to be a close match!  NOT!!  The 16th hole proved to be too much for Padrig, sadly.  We heard from others that he went in the water and was down 2 so... we pretty much left for home.  It was 94 degrees and we were looking forward to getting into the car for some air!!  Once home we watch the match which we taped and we actually saw ourselves on tv... for about 1 second, after Tiger finished his putt on 11.  I am glad I went and I enjoyed seeing some favorites like Tiger and Cink.  I only wish I could have had my camera...

Weekend at Holliday Lakes


We spent the weekend out in Williard, Ohio at the old family cottage!  Nothing old about the place since Mike and Sue have added on to the main house.  We had a great time around the campfire on Friday night and on Saturday, we enjoyed boating on the lake!  Sarah went tubing with her Mommy for the first time, and she loved it!! 

 I took some cute pictures...what a surprise... of the girls and Cayden!  Sometimes, they just take my breath away ... Not only because they are beautiful, but more than that, they are just the sweetest, most loving little ones ever!!

Big Fun!

We had big fun at Roxi's yesterday!!  Working the garage sale.  I know, it doesn't sound much like fun but when you are together with friends, there is always fun!!  Roxi brought out her antique carriage for the girls to keep busy... they took turns pushing their "babies" up and down the sidewalk!


I watched in wonder and thought to myself... 


Molly will be forever "chasing" her big sister.  Molly wants to do everything Sarah does!  Since it will forever be just the two of them, one will always be the leader, strong and determined ready to teach the younger one.  And one will be the follower, just as strong and determined, and ready to learn by following!  I just love these two precious girls!

 GG a.k.a. Marlene... called GG since all she wants in life is grandkids and granite...of which she has neither... was there for the fun too!  She loves spending time with my gems and I love to share them!  Beckie was off to the dentist so the girls came for a couple of hours and Cayden's mom, Bridget was home resting for her 7pm to 7am shift at Fairview Hospital ER, so Cayden was there too! Cayden enjoyed army crawling on the grass for the first time. He really did not like it at first but Roxi got right down there with him and soon enough he going all over the place!  Look at his first reaction...




On a side note... Can I just say there are so many fun bloggers!!  It is so fun to "meet" people/friends this way!!  One of my newest "friends" shared this today!!  Go see it for yourself!! Its adorable.

You Capture...ME? WHAT??

This week challenge, and I do mean challenge was :You Capture...YOU!   Wow, this was really hard because I do not like to see myself in photos.  What were you thinking Beth? Oh well, here goes...

                    Here I am...  Holding the camera for this one... too funny!

Now the rest were taken by others...
Laughing with my buddy Cayden on his first birthday!


With Roxi's daughter Missy... who as a young child caught me putting money under her pillow for a tooth and said "Diana, are YOU the tooth-fairy?"  Busted!!

More with my little Cayden... who loves his Meme, no matter what!
 And lastly, a group shot of some really sweet babes in arms ...  mine!   So I know I am not alone in the feelings I have about pictures of myself.  Why do we feel this way?  I know my friends see my personality when they look at me, and really that's what I want them to see!

To see more pictures from others,  just go here

Hooked on...

Sarah is hooked on phonics! This girl loves to read! She is so proud of herself when she gets to the end of the story she is reading!
Beckie has been working with her everyday and Sarah is just loving it.  She has always been a big fan of books.  Sarah loves to be read to and will always ask to read some books when she is here.  

Now, she can do it herself!  I am so proud of her.


Not to be outdone by her big sister, Molly is working hard to get "HOOKED" herself!!

So what if she is hooked UP side DOWN??
