Benny & Matty - 5/25/06

I was on vacation the week of May 22nd and spent part of the day on Thursday, the 24th with Wendie and the boys. We hung out at the house for a little while, then went to lunch at Subway, shopping at Wal-Mart, and then out for ice cream! It was a fun day!

Baseball - 5/24/06

Just a couple of pictures from Caleb's baseball game on May 24th.

Penni - 5/24/06

Penni likes to hang out when I'm scrapbooking. On this day, Linda was over to work on her Disney album and Penni liked her purse!

Picnic Table Transformation! May 20, 2006

On Saturday, May 20, 2006, Dad came over to 'help' me sand and repaint my picnic table that belonged to Great Mammaw. Here are before and after pictures and two of Dad working on sanding the table.

Dad hard at work with the sander.

Ta da! The after picture! Dad helped with the first coat paint, but I did the second coat all by myself! And I added the polyurathane later all by myself, too! Thanks, Dad!

Scrapbooking - 5/19/06

Vickie, Ellie, Andrew, and Austin came over to my house on May 19th to work on their Creative Memories albums. Andrew enjoys scrapbooking, too, and Austin does as well, but his attention span is short right now.


Andrew works on his album. Vickie and Ellie work on their albums.

Penni made herself at home in Patti's Sizzix carrier!

Mother/Daughter Brunch - 5/13/06

My church had a Mother/Daughter Brunch on Saturday, May 13th. Mom, Ellie, Vickie, Ashley, and I went. We enjoyed a brunch with all kinds of food, followed by a program in the sanctuary, featuring Kathy Anderson-Martin and her Mom, Nancy.

At the Playground - May 9, 2006

These pictures are at the playground of Fishing Creek Elementary School where Caleb was playing a baseball game. Mom and Dad were watching Benny that afternoon, but Mom didn't feel well enough to go to the game so she asked me to watch Benny. As soon as I arrived with Vickie and the kids, Benny wanted to go to the playground! We ate dinner first, and then went to the playground and totally missed Caleb's game! So I have no pictures from that game. Andrew, Austin, and Benny had fun at the playground, but Benny did not want to leave!

Andrew strengthens his muscles! And stretches 'em, too!

Crossover Ceremony - 5/5/06

Caleb's Cub Scout Crossover Ceremony was held on May 5, 2006 at Lisburn Fire Company. Caleb 'crossed-over' from a bear to a wolf. The Scouts actually walk across a bridge. I wasn't able to get a good picture of Caleb walking across the bridge.

Mt. Zion Elementary School Open House - 4/27/06

Mom, Dad, Corie, Tommy, and I went to Caleb's school's open house on April 27th. We had dinner in the cafeteria; then Caleb showed us all his artwork that was displayed throughout the school and all his projects in the classroom. He even prepared a PowerPoint presentation! Mammy, Mommy, and I went to Mt. Zion, too!

Andrew and Austin = brotherly love!

Tea Party/Border Workshop

On April 20, 2006, Stephanie planned a CM border workshop at Touch of Tea. I had 3 customers attend - Vickie, Connie, and Patti. The tea and krumpets were delicious and the border workshop was fun! We made some really cute birthday/celebration borders.



Connie & Vickie work on their borders; Patti enjoys some tea and krumpets.
