Tony's 17th birthday, May 20 2011

Tony wanted an ice cream cake--that's what he got.

Tony didn't want to tear it down so he climbed under it all. What a nut!!

For those that don't know I do Foster and Proctor care. I currently have a young man named Tony Cruise living with us that has been with us since the beginning of May 2011. On May 20 it was his 17th birthday. Lanessa, Tenaya and myself decorated his bedroom door.

The Greatest Runners in Wellsville

What a Day! I had five grandkids that ran in the Wellsville Mile this year. Addason, Tylee and Avery Gunnell, Tanner Donnell and Clay Gunnell. I told the kids I would take them out to eat afterwards not knowing that 'afterwards' was after ALL the races, lunch for the kids, ceremony and prize give away. We didn't leave Wellsville untill 2:30. Everyone decided to go out to eat at Golden Corral which was great because we had no complaints. It was a great time all the way around.

Mothers Day

Generally speaking this is a day that I pretty much dread. Not this year. It was a perfect day. The only thing that could have made it better is if all my children had been there. Radell and Davinn were not present but I received calls from both of them. I took a picture of all my presents, not to brag, but so that I could remember. It was a beautiful day, wonderful food and great company. Everyone got along wonderfully, which is what every mother wants.

Averys 10th Birthday

Can you tell by all the expressions that Avery is most excited for her Birthday? She got to choose what cake she wanted and she picked a Chocolate Angel Food Cake. Yummy!! I got her a snow cone machine which I think she liked.

Clay's concert

Clays concert was at USU.  Way too many kids for me to get a good picture, especially with a new camera. Clay looked so sharp in his white shirt and tie and was so fun to watch play.  Hoping for some grandkids that can soon play at our annual Christmas party.

Gage's soccor game

I got a new camera and took so many pictures, most of them worthless. Gage loves soccor and is super fast and fun to watch

The Beginning

The saying"Better late than never" certainly applies to me. I'm getting up in the years and find that so many things are happening and changing and I have nothing to show for it but wrinkles and grey hair. So I thought I'd try this blogging thing and see if it works for me. I love and enjoy my children and grandchildren and want to share them with the world. I also need a way for me to remember all the fun things that we do as a family. As my title says "This is WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT".
