Lemonade Stand at Neighborhood Garage Sale 2009

Today we had a neighborhood garage sale. Hannah wanted to do her first little lemonade stand. But then she also wanted to make and sell little daisy bracelets that she just learned to make. She sold all her bracelets and had customers waiting in line for more. The lemonade was a big hit also. What a fun day we had.

Heather & Will got Engaged!

Friday, May 29, Will proposed to my daughter Heather. We are all so excited and happy for them and wish them all God's Blessings.

QUOTE FROM HEATHER'S PHOTO SITE ABOUT THE ABOVE TAKEN PHOTO . . .
"Just moments after he surprised me and got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him!

The restaurant opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate and they took a picture for us! I was so excited and happy that most of these first moments are a complete blur! Everyone in the restaurant was telling us congratulations. It was such an amazing moment and I will remember it for the rest of my life! "

We went to Oklahoma City to celebrate with Heather and Will and had a wonderful day celebrating in their happiness.

It's SUMMER and TIME for a NEW BIKE!

Today we decided to find a new bike for Hannah. She has outgrown her old bike. I can't believe she is ready for the next size. We found this cool-looking bike this evening and had a great ride.

Hannah used her piano points to get me these beautiful earrings. They will always be my favorite earrings because of her thoughtfulness. Thank you, Hannah.
