Corn Curls and Spring............

As you can see Jazelyn had her first taste of a corn curl. Rico was snacking on the curls and when we looked at Jazelyn who was crawling around in the dining room this picture is what we saw. It was pretty funny looking. I guess Rico thought she should have one too. Kind of Rico but.......sorry Jazzy when your older you can have one.

Nicer weather is here and that takes everyone outside. The kids and Dad celebrated Spring with a rousing game of 4 square. Yeah for Spring!

nooooooo not the carpet knife........

So tonight was interesting. I got a splinter in my foot one of the hazards of having wood floors. This splinter was deep it was hurtin for certain. So I showed it to Edwin and he said it's deep I'm going to get my carpet knife. I'm like what not the carpet knife he said yes I need the carpet knife. Oh my Lord have mercy!
So I was laying on Noah's bed and Noah was holding my hand while he was watching "24" while Edwin was digging in my foot with the carpet knife. Well the knife wasn't working so I told him to get the tweezers. He couldn't get it with the tweezers I said get the nail clippers. I clipped some skin away on the bottom of my foot for a better vantage point of the evil splinter. Then I thought we better take a break and disinfect. So I got out the Hydorgen Peroxide. Love that stuff. Got it all disinfected and and tryed again. I was praying and asking God for deliverance. Finally after much digging around I said let me try it. I clipped a bit more skin away and then got busy with the tweezers. I'd rather be the one digging in my foot thank you. I spyed the splinter with the use of my book light. And continued to maniplulate with the tweezers and then there it was on the end of my tweezers the splinter. Hallelujah!! Oh yes what a relief that was. It's amazing how much pain a little splinter can cause. The End.

gotta get it............

Gumption is the word for the week. I've realized I need to get some gumption. The definition is as follows: 1. initiative; aggressiveness; resourcefulness.
2. courage; spunk; guts
3. common sense; shrewdness.

Can you all say it with me.......gumption.

sweet grandkids..........

Flowers.................

Monday my sisters and I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show. It's an annual thing for us. We always have a fun time. And it always gets us in the mood for Spring.
Unfortunately Spring will need to wait since there is SNOW on the ground again. It does look pretty and I am enjoying my day off with the kids but I am kind of ready now for warmer weather. These are not pictures that I took. I forgot to take my camera so these pics are from the Philadelphia Flower Show website. http://www.theflowershow.com/home/index.html Think Spring!!!!

Grand Finale..........

Tonight we went as a family to see the last night of "Guys and Dolls" the musical that Noah was in. It was even better then when I saw it on Thursday night. We had such a good time watching the musical and Noah. My oldest sister Jane came as well as my other sister Diane and her family. Edwin's mom and his nephew came and the Kinderwaters came too. I know Noah was happy for those who came to see him and support him it meant alot to him and Edwin and I as well. Noah's part was just perfect for him. I was impressed at how calm and how professional he was during his performance. And the song he sang he did so well. I couldn't help but beam and laugh as I watched him. I could feel my sisters behind me laughing and smiling as well. So much fun.
The other picture is Shawn a good friend of Noah's who was also in the musical.

B-ball

Brianna had her last game of her regular season last night. And we won! Winning sure does feel good. Winning is not something they have done alot of this year so it was especially sweet to end on the positive note. Brianna played a really good game.
Now her next season starts. She's playing on another team coming up here called Chickies Rock. This team is made up of girls from all over Lancaster County. Practices start this week. This team will be more of a step up and should really fine tune her skills.

Opening Night

I went to see the play Noah is in last night "Guys and Dolls". It went really well.
The singing and the acting I thought was really well done especially the singing.
We are going as a family to see the play on Saturday night. I was proud of Noah he did a very good job with his lines and his solo. This is a picture of him after the show with his makeup on.
