April 14, 2011 - Ryan turned 10 years old already. It is hard to believe in a few years he will be a teenager. He wanted an ice cream cake for his birthday so I made him one. He had a party with his friends as well a week ago. I wasn't at that one so I will let Mindy tell you all about that on her blog. I heard it was a blast though. Here are some pictures from his family party. He
April 9, 2011 - Collin spent the afternoon with me. He likes having his picture taken. His favoritist food is pickles, so I bought him a big jar of pickles. It won't take long for that jar to empty. We went to the playground for a while and Collin thinks he is "too old" for the slide, monkey bars and that sorta thing. We played some video games for awhile, he helped me finish a puzzle I was putting together and we ended the afternoon at McDonalds. The temperature was in the 60's and it was just a great day.
March 25, 2011 - Adrian and Alex both turned 9 today. Although Alex is with us in spirit only, we miss him so much and they both would have had a fun birthday together. We miss you Alex but know that you are watching over us and especially watching over your best friend and brother, Adrian. I know he misses you so much, but I really believe that the both of you still have some kind of connection. Happy Birthday to both of you.
February 27, 2011 - Leah is 14 years old today. It just doesn't seem possible. But now she is a teenager. I can remember those days. Happy Birthday Leah.
February 21,2011 - Collin has been taking after school karate instruction. Tonight he showed us all of the things that he has learned. I am impressed. He is awesome and he definitely knows his stuff. Collin - you did a wonderful job and I am so proud of you and I know your mom and dad are too. He wanted to wear his boots and that was just fine. He know has earned his white belt. Below are some pictures of Collin.
January 21, 2010 - Mindy, Shawn, Ryan, Collin and friends went to the Syracuse Crunch game. Notice in the turtle in the first picture. Syracuse lost 2-1.
Hi everyone! I love to watch the Cake Boss, Cupcake Wars, the Iron Chef, Paula Dean and Hell's Kitchen. You can learn so much about cooking and baking. My current hobby is doing family history. Some of my ancestors I feel I already know and I have never met them. Someday I will. I have two children, Lisa and Mindy; seven grandchildren, Leah, Daniel, Rachael, Adrian, Alex, Ryan and Collin. Even though Alex isn't physically with us anymore, he will always be close to my heart.
