24 years ago today I started my most favorite job ever!

I became a mother

and boy was my brother excited to have another boy in the family!

Thank you, Andrew for going first, and being my guinea pig

or in this case Alvin the Chipmonk

oh my goodness I have chicken legs

and for always being happy

and smart

and responsible

and hard working

we'll put your name up in lights snow

I love being a Mom!

TOY STEALER! 

He's taking that toy away from me and nobody is stopping him!

RUDE!

Okay, on the back of the picture it says "Johnny's birthday presents."

I guess that makes ME the toy stealer. So, um, never mind.  hehe

Anybody recognize that blue Volkswagon?

It comes back to haunt me later.  How many stitches, Mom?

Family News

The girls are here for the weekend. They are measuring themselves on the laundry room door. Andrew almost wrote the wrong date. So Kelly told John John he was tall for a 6 year old. Haha. Reminds me of everyone always teasing Heather about her age. She never gets older than 13.  Then Andrew told Heather she was only 3 inches older than John John. Lol. We'll have to remember to measure Nathan when he gets home because Andrew is bragging about being the tallest one on the door.

Keri and Kelly pulled their money together and bought Nathan a giant sized painting of George Washington kneeling in prayer. Unfortunately we won't be able to send it to Australia. And Andrew says he's hanging it up in his room.

Friday Flashback Fotos

Hee hee, Heather and I have the same cheesy grin.

The first picture is of Jo, John and I in 1972 at Grandma Boston's house I think.

The other picture is of Heather about 1998 Sevilla softball.
