She always calls me Sister.

Today is her birthday. Happy Birthday Little Sister! Hurry up and get married, so I can have a niece and she can call me 'Aunt Sister.'

It's a dream of mine.

In only 3 months...

This photo was taken on 'almost' the last day of school, last May.



In only three short months, we morphed into this.



We do like to eat. And swim.

Jag's New Gig

Guess what? Jag is the student trainer for the high school football team.




This is pretty exciting stuff! He loves it.



So much.



Can you tell by that HUGE grin?

I already digitally scrapped the first scrimmage.



That little star in the top right corner is Jag. He's pretty much the smallest guy out there. It's pretty cool watching him 'train' on the sidelines. I have the honor of getting to watch him help all the other players, while at the same time, I don't have to worry about him perishing in a pile of pads and helmets. He takes his job very seriously.

I'm sure Tales from the Trainer's Fanny Pack, will be a humorous look at football as seen through the eyes of a mom. Let the lightening storms begin!

All Because...........42!!

This goofiness........

 

(Can you guess why I'm an "only child?")

(....and who looks more like wax???  Johnny or PrissE???)

All because these 2 fell in love.......

 

Happy 42nd Anniversary, Oma & Opa!!!

We Love You!!!

 

New sneaks! and, I'm not a basket case!

The first week of school is complete! It was a huge success at our home! If you're new to the blog, or don't really know me, then you don't know what's been happening around here. Let me fill you in.

It was my first week as a high school mom.



At the same time, my two youngest started Jr. High School. Which makes me officially parents of only secondary students!





You've probably noticed that these photos are all taken from the car window, from the drop off line at school. That's right! When your kids get big, they don't want you to walk in with them anymore. That's alright with me.

You might be thinking my kids are too big to pose for 'traditional' first day photos. Well, you'd be wrong! Take a look at this! (New sneaks!!)



I sort of expected to be a basket case on the first day of school. Really? Everything went pretty well. I'll have tons of stories about football, teenagers and nachos later in the season, but for now I think I'll just enjoy a really quiet morning and look forward to game night!

Today's MY Birthday!!!!

Today is PrissE's BIRTHDAY!!!!

Today begins the end of 3 decades of life.....Only 365 more days and then:  40's, Here She Comes!!

Look out, Maxine.........PrissE's on her way "Over the Hill!"

Today is OMA DAY!!! Happy BIrthday, Oma!!!!

Today is my mom's (a.k.a. Oma) birthday!!  Yes, I realize this is a Christmas photo...but just LooK at her smile!  I think I get my "always got a smile on my face" smile from my mom.

My mom is ALWAYS willing to participate in the name of FUN!!!  I think that's why she makes the 60's look SO YOUNG!

.....And just where did MY inner diva come from???  MY MOM!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM/OMA!!!!!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
