I can't wait till my Hubby and I can look back on 50 years of our life together.I only hope that we are as close to our kids and they to each other to have such a wonderful time.

2009

Well lets see..First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I know a little late,but I have been busy.So I guess we will play catch up..

I got to spend some time in New York with Bon and her family and my baby girl,which by the way isn't exactlly a baby.So I guess I should say my daughter,the young lady.Anyway we had fun..I was there in time for Dade's 5th Bday,HINT don't ever have 4 five year old boys over night at the same time..It is scary..

As you can see we did a camping theme..OK yes it was indoors,but give us a break it was cold:)

Bonnie and I went sledding(first time for us both)had a blast,but I did come to realization that I am to damn old for that.

Dade was a big boy,he wanted to go all by himself.He would even get to the bottom of the hill and drag the sled back up to the top and go again.I think he would of stayed all night if we had let him.

We went into Times Square..That was fun,really,REALLY cold.Would love to be able to go in the spring or so.Yes I have pics of that trip,but there are to many to choose from.So just gonna have to take my word for it when I say you really need to go check it out for your self if ya ever get the chance.

Lets see,got back from NY just in time for my son's 15th bday and my hubby's 40th bday.So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the both of them.Didn't get a chance to do anything for either of them,but we will make up for it at some point..Always do:)

All that was followed by unpacking and organizing the new house,forgot to mention that..While I was gone the guys moved us.So I had a bit of a mess when I got home.Honestly tho not as bad as I was expecting..

We have had some family med stuff.

And it was all topped off by the City Bowling Tournament Awards Picnic.Josh didn't recieve anything this year,Nicky walked away with two.One for 3rd Place Singles(boys handicap 85-114 division) and one for 2nd place All Events(boys handicap 85-114 division)

So I guess that about catches us up to now..

Christmas at Bowling 12/20

Well lets see we had a really busy day last Saturday.It was PARTY day for the bowling groups.Some of the "kids" on the morning league sat on Santa's lap.

They had a really good time.

Nicky didn't sit on Santa's lap...

But we got Josh :)

This is BC,he runs the pro-shop,of course since he sat on Santa's lap all the mom's had to also..







Yes including yours truly..FYI I haven't sat on Santa's lap since Josh was a baby..

Then Saturday night Tammi,Kevin and their boys(Matt and Daniel)threw a party for the travel teams..That was a very nice "family" party.

This is a pic of our very gracious host-The Langs
