2010 Atlantis Wars

For the last two years, my mother-in-law has received a special Christmas gift from her children and their families. It is a weekend retreat at a nearby camp.

Last year, she thought it would be fun to start a "friendly" war between family teams- the Spartans and the Triscillions.

She had no idea what was in store!

It has been great fun and we look forward to each year!

Most of the games that she planned for this year were from the new t.v. show

"Minute to Win it." They were AWESOME!

Sadly to say, the Spartans won yet another year - unfortunately I am a Triscillion:(

But for the second year in a row; the Triscillions won capture the flag hands down!

We will triumph one day!

Bake Sale

I am super excited about doing this bake sale for my niece Jadyn!

I will be sending more information soon, but for now-

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

For more information about Jadyn and CHARGE,

look on my page above titled "Our Jady."

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

What a great day! My son off to 5th grade and he still wanted me to walk him in- I even got a kiss good-bye! There won't be too many more of those.

I sure wish I could freeze time!

Sister didn't get a kiss though!

Too cool for that!

Yes, I can't believe it!

She's a senior!

This was her LAST first day of school.

I have a feeling there are going to be lots of LASTS.

I don't think it really hit me until she drove away that morning. Then I LOST it!!

I am really going to miss her when she goes to college.

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THIS YEAR'S MEMORIES COUNT!

Funny Friday

You have to check out this

site a friend sent to me.

It is too funny!

Here are some examples...

Liquid Diet...

"Elaine, you said “Make whatever you want for dinner,” and I want those bottles of white zin I stole from the Sheraton minibar."

Time to come clean...

"Gary has no idea what exactly Elaine does in the shower every day, but he certainly knows better than to touch her wooden shower spoon or shower branch."

The bigger the cushion...

"With Elaine out of town, Gary finally had the chance to try his stuntman jump from the roof."

I'm sorry if the following post bores you, but I have been so excited about sharing my family vacation pics with everyone. So here goes...

Thank you Lord for such a wonderful time and many memories!

I can't wait to take my grandchildren (when I have them someday)!
