Sunday was Fathers Day!

On Sunday, it was Fathers Day! We were camping at Govenor Dodge State Park. The Friday before that the kids made a gift for Dad....an apron. Here is a photo of him with it on....the kids are waiting for him to wear it...

Last day of school

On the last day of school, we always purchase a gift for the teachers, this year we got plants! Each teacher claimed they've planted them already and love them, it will be a sweet reminder of my kids! I always take a picture of the kids with their Teachers, this year was no different!

First Camping Trip of 2010

On Memorial Day wknd we took our first camping trip of the season. We tried a new park that we have never been to, and that's always exciting! We went to Perrot State Park in Wisconsin. It's a beautiful park, filled with great sites, lot's of nature activities for the kids and an excellent natureist to teach the children EVERYTHING they want to learn. We even had a painted turtle lay her eggs in our campsite, and antother come to try, but the kids wouldn't leave her alone so she left! It was a very HOT weekend, and we had a blast! It's such great family time, the thing I love the most!

Susan G Komen Cancer walk/run June 5 2010

Megan and I have been doing the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure for 3 or 4 years together now. Last year, Megan told me she wanted to RUN the walk. So, on June 5, 2010, Megan and Cal and Tyler and I all did the Race. Megan and Cal RAN the 5k...their first 5k EVER! Tyler and I walked the Race, for Tyler it was the FIRST walk he's done too. Everyone did such a wonderful job. Megan and Cal RAN it in just over 30 min....WOW!!!! Tyler and I walked it in 1:40:23!!!

This year was a really hard year for me to do the Race, my good friend and old "co-worker" (or second Mother) was diognosed on April 1st with Breast Cancer. She had a Masectomy on April 15th, by June 5th, she had had 2 treatments of Chemo, lost her hair, and still looked beautiful bald, and is so strong! I love her for that! I know she will pull thru with all the support and love her friends and Family have given her! I pray that god answers all our prayers!

My baby is no longer a Brownie

Megan is now a Junior Scout. She completed her years in Brownies tonite as she crossed the bridge at our bridging ceremony. We did soooooo many things, with the troop like sending things to our adopted soldier Jonathon in Afgan, clearing tables for the Albany Fire Department, designing plates, swimming, bounce u, collecting food for our local food pantry, corn maze, a lock in at the school....the list continues. She sold the most in cookie sales this year in her troop and loves to sell them, just as much as i love eating them! I'm so proud of her!
