Baseball 2012 Parade

Waiting for the parade to start

 By Sarah

A couple weeks ago was William's Opening Day for Baseball with a parade and then later that day, his first game of the season.

Can you find William?

 I think Winston had had too long of a day!

William is on the Marlins this year

Too Tired

zzZz...

By Sarah

Winston was watching his movie in the den while the rest of us were doing our work. Momma went in and found this ---->

Scary Man choking my child!

William went through a bag of costumes and found this mask.  Sarah and Winston had a fun time with it! :)

New Job, Old Job, New Job

This is Caroline on the first day of her job.

Caroline worked for two weekends at the Grill in the museum near our house last February.  Unfortunately, we didn't realize when she started that she would have to work every other Sunday - missing church.  So, she had to quit.  But she is now employed every other Monday afternoon as a babysitter.  She's counting her nickels and dimes to buy herself a camera like this one  Not sure how long that's going to take! 

The Perfect Organism

 

Hey it's Sarah. I was going through all the drafts of our blog and found this one. We finally got rid of this Rosemary bush because the scent was attracting some scorpions. It took my dad about a day to cut it down. The main 'trunk' was about 3-4 inches wide. This is what my mom had written in the earlier post.

We planted a tiny little Rosemary plant off the back patio about 5 or 6 years ago. It has grown - and GROWN! We finally decided that it had outgrown it's location. Spence liked to call it the perfect organism because you couldn't kill it, but he has subdued the earth and conquered it.

Postscript.  I guess you'll end up with a few "oldies"  I'm going through old drafts and this was still in there - from Sept 2009!  It's still a cool picture.

Redding Air Show

We were glad that one of the Jelly Belly planes was at the airshow, since Sarah, William and Winston were all wearing the new t-shirts that we had just gotten from the Jelly Belly factory!

Just found this in the drafts folder - not sure what happened.  We took quite a few more pictures at the airshow, but I figure that I better post this before the new year is upon us! :)

Spencer's Birthday

 

We enjoyed a nice family celebration of Spencer's 47th birthday a few weeks ago.  He loves Mexican food, so we tried out a new restaurant (for us).  We haven't been out to each much in the neighboring town of Griffin, so it was nice to have an opportunity to do that. 

William was thrilled with one of Spencer's gifts - Stratego!  The game where strategy wins.  Spence and his brother played a lot growing up and he has been asking for it for years.  It's been hard to find in a "regular" version - not Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.  But this year is the 50th anniversary, so I was able to find a nice "normal" game to get him. 

Winston was determined not to look at the camera.  Seems as if we either get a cheesy grin, or no face at all!
