Memorial Day Happenings

This landscaping project is going to be a major ordeal! Dad and Ryan are raising the window wells and we will be bringing in more dirt. We had no idea how much it had settled around the foundation until we pulled out the bushes.

Burying the gutter pipe so that the water will drain far away from the house!

Ryan took Rebecca on a 4-wheeler ride with the promise she wouldn't get muddy.....she got dumped in the creek. Of course it was an accident!! :)

Like father, like son!

And Kayla is just happy to be on board!

A Quickie Visit to Indiana

"Horsey, Horsey, on our Way....."

And this is Max's new room. It's nice and bright, and Max has his favorite circles he runs to!

Freya's azaela bush was beautiful. I thought sure Max would want his picture taken beside it :)

Notice the stick in one hand, his hoe in the other. He's all boy!

This is Max's tree. They planted it last year and it has grown at least six inches.

Time to Catch Up

This is the front of Topeka High School where Ryan goes. It is a very beautiful building and it covers a whole city block.

The last band concert was held outside on the lawn with a BBQ and is known as the "Dogs on the Lawn Concert!

This is a picture for the "boys!" Ryan spent a lot of time last week "cleaning." This is the bench in front of the frame machine.

My new wagon!

Mama and her new yellow wagon! It's big enough to hold ALL the grandkids

at the same time! And now it feels like winter again.

Joshua was giving Kayla a BIG ride and she was totally giggling.
Sorry I don't have audio!

Part II

Oh, it was good to see Stephen, Freya, & Max! Max had taken a nasty

fall on Saturday morning....on his nose....and totally scraped his whole nose :(

It wasn't slowing him down too much, though.

Max and Grandpa figuring out how Mr. Potato Head works!

"Max, where's your tongue?" The front of his shirt said, "It seemed

like a good idea at the time." It kind of went along with his nose!!

"What I Did on Spring Break!"

Here we are in front of the store where Brian works. It's

just about closing time.

This is Brian and his boss, Mike. Too bad Brian was leaving for a

week in Ohio this week. Sorry this is a blurry picture.

Welcome to Brian's apartment. This view is in his living room.

I should have taken a picture of the neat picture Jenny got for Brian.

Brian got a neat "corner desk" and found a place for his Pitt

State clock.

One last view in his kitchen. My, how neat and tidy his countertops

are!! His pots are so shiney.

March Happenings!

Ryan was working on his truck, so he barely had time to come in and have

his birthday "cake." How can he possibly be 17 years old!!

T High marching at the St Patrick's Day parade on Saturday.
They have on their new uniforms.

Go, Ryan!!

Brian and his U-Haul with all his worldly possessions headed for Chicago.
We met at 46th St McDonalds for a "Last Lunch." :)

Notice the "Gentle-Ride" U-Haul, but it didn't have a cruise control.
