Murts

My good friends, standing in their backyard, smiling.  I can see what's behind the smiles.  Thoughts of a lifetime spent here, memories that will last forever, feelings of togetherness ~one last time~  here in ... the one place called HOME.  Aren't they just the sweetest looking family?  Rick, Roxi, Chad, Selena, Melissa, Jason and of course Mason.  I will hunt them down, where ever they are...where ever they go... It doesn't matter to me... I will find them!!!

Something I overheard...

While out to lunch this weekend with Beckie, Don, Bridget, Sarah, Molly, and Cayden, we were seated at a table near a big screen tv.  On the tv was a football game... no idea who or where, but this is what I overheard from across the table.

Sarah: Hey Daddy... LOOK!  Your favorite cartoon is on!

So Excited... we could just MELT!

Are they?  I love the musical WICKED!  I have seen it twice now and have been very obsessed with the music.  Melissa and Tim bought me the Wicked ~The Grimmerie~A Behind The Scenes Look At The Hit Broadway Musical as a gift and my little Sarah got her hands on it one day last year.  So I let her look at the pictures and listen to the CD and soon enough she was belting out the songs right along with me!!
"Please play "The Baby's Coming" part Meme... "Like a froggy, ferny, cabbage... The Baby is unnaturally  ~   G R E E N !"
So I could not wait for the musical to come back to Cleveland and guess what... and guess who's going?  You got it ~ me and my little theater partner, Sarah Rose!  She once watched the making of some musicals on tv and saw that in New York, children would dress like witches~green faces and all, so that is her intention too!  I was able to get seats early since I am a season ticked holder and I got really great seats!  I am so excited, can you tell?  This will mark her 4th experience at Playhouse Square and she is such a good little patron at the theater!  It is my pleasure to have her with me and I love that we have these special excursions to share together.  I am hoping that we are making memories that will last her a lifetime and that she will always want to go with her Meme to the theater!
Sarah and Me on our last date to the theater when we saw Mary Poppins!  Isn't she darling?

Mrs Walton's First Grade

Beckie was busy setting up her classroom with her girls when Cayden and I got there today!  Check out her colroful classroom!  Beckie is just the BEST teacher!  She is so great with children and those who end up in her class just love her!!  

This board show Phonic Dance... a really exciting way to teach phonic through song... You know I just love that!

Cayden and Molly enjoying some class time together!
Fun signs teach us some lessons!  Sarah especially loves the courage one, of course, she is the one smiling and doing the "right things"!!


Hey Mrs. Walton,

    You make me incredibly proud!  Your classroom is always amazing, a place where children love to spend their days in, a place with a teacher who always shows them how valuable they are and teaches them to grow everyday into great little people!!  I love you!

Winding down on a Thursday!

The girls are here, sleeping over, its quiet now, but the day was full of fun.  They went to school with Mommy in the morning to help set up her classroom then came here to babysit Cayden while I had my hair done. Beckie had a happy hour meeting... ha... so they stayed here with me for dinner and a sleepover!  We tried to go to the sprinkler park, but sadly, it was not open since the big movie screen was set up for Thursday night movie at Crocker Park. We came back home and had our own fun at the pool. Papa came home and joined the girls in the pool, much to their delight!  Sarah is working hard at swimming ~ but I must say, she swims vertical instead of horizontal!  We can't get her to kick her legs up, she just treads water and moves her hands to get where she wants to go!  I keep asking her ... How's that working for you? and she just laughs and says its "pretty good Mem"!! 

Little Molly's newest thing is something she says everytime she sees an american flag!  It goes something like this...

"See the american flag?

it has 50 yars 

cause theres 50 yates

13 yipes

for 13 cowlinees"

She is a real talker... too bad we can't understand half of what she says!!  I get the flag thing though... her mommy taught her the song.  5o Stars for 50 States!!

Oh and by the way... Frankie and Tom ~ Nobody told me anything about a trip to cancun? No siree, NOBODY!  Here's a shot of them I just found on my facebook page!!

My sister is incredibly fit... a pilates instructor, isn't she gorgeous?  Oh, did I mention ... she's the older one????

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 ...

and then she sails across the pool!

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

Taking BALLET  to new HEIGHTS with Uncle Dan!
 So fun!  See more here!
