**Flashback**

Who's that girl?

It's me (the one without the tail)! ;) I never can thank mom enough for that "Dorothy Hammel" haircut! LOL I think this pic was taken around 1980? I looked like a BOY!!!

April 29

My yard is so colorful. It's all how you look at it.

Even weeds can be pretty!

April 28

Against Trevor's wishes, I am posting one of the 2 pics I took today (the other got too dark). I was at the hospital today and caught him actually working for a change. (He's not in the dishroom that often anymore.) And YES, he IS that TALL!!

Corey and Collin just before advancing to Wolf Cubs.

April 25

**A Flashback** of my dad in the 70's. I used to be so mad at him for killing animals. What's really weird about this photo is that I don't remember my dad looking like this. He changed more than I thought. LOL **Mental note to self....visit dad and take a pic of him today! :)

April 24

A beautiful bench honoring Rachel. It faces the playground that she loved to play on.

Corey with some of his classmates and his teacher.

Collin with his classmates and teacher.




Today is Arbor Day. Two trees were planted at the boys' school in honor of Arbor Day and in memory of a student that passed away. The trees were planted in hopes of one day providing shade for the bench and for all to enjoy. Each class read a poem or sang a song and it was very touching.

I also couldn't resist sharing a pic of Uncle Leon's mountain pinks. They are so pretty!

April 23

A pic from yesterday. I didn't get the camera out today.

April 22

Can someone please send bail money?

The scouts really enjoyed the tour of the police station tonight.

No crimes committed, they were very well behaved!

April 20

Perfect kite weather today!

Collin's (fish) kite on top, Corey's (frog) on the bottom (We let out just about all of the string!)

April 19

Not an easy subject to take a pic of....a weird looking bird (turkey vulture?) in a tree by the creek. I had to really zoom from the dining room window!

April 18

A trip to Mem & Jerry's.....

Toby, all wind-blown and tired. Kind of how I felt today. lol

Day 1

We brought eggs home from "Memmy's" today (my mom). I did some research and it looks like they could be salamander eggs and not tadpoles like we originally thought. We will keep track of their growth and are anxious to see what hatches from them!

April 17

Thank you, Collin, for helping with the yard work!

It sure is exhausting!

April 16

It looks like they were let loose on the Easter candy!
Proof that a little CAN go a long way!

April 12

Happy Easter!

It wouldn't be Easter without the bunny cake!

April 11

My new "bat friend", "Slugger".

He fell out of his home today and I was the only one brave enough to put him back in.

We colored Easter Eggs tonight!

A pic from last week....... My cousin, Nikki and my Aunt Linda.

Happy 60th Dad!

April 9

Mrs. Kistler (3rd grade teacher) "in the hot seat" at the

"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" program.

She used to be my 1st grade teacher (Miss Pecha) and she is retiring this year.

Using the "ask the audience" lifeline......

Lorax, Things 1 & 2, and Mrs. Long...

A sign on Mrs. Long's door that I like. :)

I rounded up all 3 sets of the 1st grade twins for a pic with the Easter Bunny.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

April 3

I had a tough time deciding today......

First, I took a pic of my dining room window so that you could see the budding tree in the background......

Then, I took a pic of just the buds. Thought this one looked pretty neat..........

Then, I spotted a groundhog OFF of the ground! LOL I'd never seen them climb up on the bushes like that before. Cute!
