(5.1) Red Thumb

So here is the story about this. We had picked some flowers from my Pap's house and put them in a beautiful vase. Next I bought a candle...well I put the candle a li'l close to the flower...as noted by the brown and shriveled petal...Haha...yeah...

Yup...can you tell I didn't get the green thumb.

So...who wants me to babysit your flowers....?? Any takers?

(4.22) First Day Out!

Gorgeous Friday

This was the first gorgeous day in such a long time, that we had to soak up all the rays we could. After Physical Therapy we jumped on the opportunity to spend a few minutes out in the sun!

The girls catching some rays...

Haha...on top o' the mountain...

Rachel's dandelion ring made all by her lonesome!
One look at this , and Gram would've eaten this flower.

We gotta be getting our tan on too!!

Love the Sun!

Love Friends!!

THE END!!!

(4.23) Supper and Eggs

Friday Fun Night

Rachel and Becca got notebooks/journals as Easter presents from Ace and me. While Joyce then made supper, the girls were to sit upstairs with me and begin writing in their new presents.

Silence...the most perfect present o' all! (:

Joyce, Rachel, and Becca were already at our house for supper; but after a quick call out to Essie Phares, her and Breanna showed up for an evening o' fun! Joyce had supper all ready for us...salad, spaghetti with meatballs, garlic bread, and lemon poppy seed bread or Popsicle for dessert! What a wonderful evening!

Spaghetti with Meatballs...MMmm...

Adam's favorite--
Lemon Poppyseed Bread.

Easter Egg Coloring


Coloring Easter Eggs is one o' my favorite things to do, so when there were kids over, that was the perfect excuse for me to color them!!

All the colors...it's all-most time!

Rachel picking out her colors.

Who would've guessed Becca's picked pink?

Bre dunking her egg right in!

Yup, there's Becca's pink egg!

The Egg-Coloring Station
Please note: Adult supervision was present!

This li'l egg wanted to go swimming.

This li'l egg went swimming in blue!

I think these eggs turned out really cool.

Can you see the pink heart?

Searching for the perfect sticker.

Breanna proud o' her work.

Look at Essie's cheek...Bre kissed her while wearing lipstick!

My Gorgeous Colored Eggs

Tiger Paw Egg . . . Shamrock Egg . . . Ireland Flag Egg

These eggs will soon be Egg Salad Sandwiches

After I had finished coloring Shamrock Egg, it got bumped off table, it fell onto the piano bench, ultimately cracking it's li'l bottom on the ground. It was so sad...but he would make a great salted egg for later!! MMmm...gas!!
Poor li'l guy had a rough life...

Such great evening to be spent with such wonderful friends!

THE END!!!

(4.20) Friends & Babysitters

Ready for a fun day with my friends!! (:

Click here to read info o' foot drop.
Foot Drop.


Basically the foot muscles aren't strong enough to hold the foot up, so it just sags. Obviously, my foot drop is not really foot drop, but I could tell that my muscles were getting week. Many times while laying in bed my leg and foot would cramp up.

The Remedy...Support.

My "Foot Drop" o' Left Foot

My Babysitters
Stephen & Steph

When Stephen carried me up to my room, he wore a face mask to be silly so I "wouldn't get him sick!" I was sad because Stephen acted like I was going to give him something contagious!

Stephen is such a joke-ster!!

The flowers Steph made me!

Steph is such a great friend!

Such terrible circulation in my feet!

YEAH! Skittles and an Ice Cream Game!

I have the greatest friends!!

Thanks you guys for being the best friends...EVER!!

THE END!!!

(4.26) New Flowers

Bright colors make me feel happy, so Joyce and Jessica had bought me some gorgeous flowers to help cheer up my house. Joyce had also painted a wonderfully fun sign..."Welcome Spring"...love...love...love how everything matches so perfectly!!

My per-dee sign...

Look at how pretty everything looks!!

Now when somebody asks for directions...it's the house with bright yellow plant pots!! (: That sounds soo much better than, "We live at 1607, but the 07 is missing!" I know I keep saying about how amazing my friends are...but are you seeing this? This is proof!! Joyce actually makes plaques and sells them. She's amazing...Thanks Again Joyce & Jessica!

THE END!!!

(4.21) Race for Education

Calvary Christian Academy
@ Detwiller Field

Every year, Calvary Christian Academy (my all-ma-mater) has a school wide race to raise money for the school. Each student has one hour to run as many laps around the track as they can run. Students send out letters to friends, family, etc... to be a sponsor or to just donate a flat rate. Haha...hope that was understandable. Joyce, my babysitter, has two lovely girls that go to CCA so she thought it'd be good for me to get out o' the house. I personally thought it'd be great to get the stink blown off o' me!! It was a particularly cool day, so I had to be sure to dress warm!!

Warm soccer socks were a HUGE plus!

Dressing the surgical site...it has to be warm too!

Ready to get the stink blown off me!!!

Earl was at the race too...he was dressed super warm!

Was watching some cute li'l kid playing ball...

When each student run laps around the track, they get a rubber band to put around their wrist for each lap that they have completed. At the end o' the race they count up their rubber bands.
A mother counting the "laps" ran.

After Becca ran her race, she dumped water all over her shirt...what a nut case!! She did really good on running on her laps. I'm pretty sure she ran 16 laps!!

She wouldn't smile for a good picture.

My buddy, Weston!!

Breanna taking a li'l break!

My dear sweet sister, Ashley!!

My best buddy ol' pal, Elise!

Gotta have a silly picture, duh!

Everybody praying before they run their laps.

More praying...

The organizer...TERRY SNARE!

Everybody did a great job, and they were able to raise lots o' money! Ashley burnt her face really bad, so bad that they formed blisters. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures o' her face for my blog.
