Ouch....my poor baby!

Seems Michael took one for the team.   Ouch,  isn't this the way it always is.   Last softball game of the season.  Looks like it's time to go see the ENT.....again. 

Peek A Boo

Giggly Girl

The Forssbergs

Went to Pratt this weekend and had a wonderful time.   I even got to take some pics.  I posted tons on Facebook, but here's some of my favorites.

Getting a 2 year old and a 7 month old to cooperate!

I think we are done!

TBones

My first outfits in an actual store.....well  besides HornMart.    Our little model is Suzanna.

Pool Towels

I love it when I see the items that I've made being used.

There's 3 little guys behind those towels.

Rip Van Winkle

Had the boys working pretty hard Saturday night.    Jaxson playing Rip Van Winkle

The Vohs Girls

Mindy ask me to take some pics of her and her sister's family.   Her mom's 70th birthday is in July and this will make a really special gift.

Here's some of the best pics.

Contrary to what my Mother thinks

..................I'm not nuts.

Here's my CraigsList find.   I love this.  I was looking for shelving for HornMart and this is perfect.   Also a steal of a deal.

Happy Father's Day

To all the special dad's out there.    Happy Father's Day.   Here's a special salute to 4 very special ones.

To my Dad, Happy Father's Day.   Love you and Miss you.

To Stan's Dad.   I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I know we would have loved you.

To my son,  Happy Father's Day.   You were the first to let me enjoy the gift of a grandchild and I thank you every day for that.  

Last but not least, Happy Father's Day to my Son In Law Brandon.   Thank you for being such a good daddy to Johanna and Elin.  

Self Portrait

Uck....hate taking pics of myself but wanted to show you the progress of my eyes.

My left eye is great,  right eye is still a little droopy.

Looks like a mug shot, doesn't it

Notes from a Diary

So,  I was cleaning out some things today and found a diary that I kept notes in.   Thought I would share a few of them with you.  I've also never shared these pictures either, so I'd like to share just a few of them with you.

February 15, 2009

Stella ask Stan to come by and install the TV converter box on her TV.  We went by there on Sunday around 10am.    Both of us were speechless of what we saw when we walked in.  First of all the door would only open about 1/3 of the way because of all the stuff behind the door.  Once we got in, there was no place for us to stand on any flat surface, let alone sit.

Once we installed the converter box Stan talked to Stella about letting us help her clean the place up.  She agreed that she needed help and it had just gotten out of hand and more than she could handle.  We left with her agreeing that we could come in and help.

On the way home Stan and I discussed and decided that we would take off Monday and Tuesday to get started.  We felt we needed to at least clear a path to the bathroom.  We were worried about her falling and honestly can't believe she hasn't fallen yet.

Here's what we saw when we walked in the door, the first time.

As a side note,   we contacted Aunt Stella's family members and couldn't get any help in our huge undertaking, except from our children.

More diary entries to come.

Day 4 after surgery

I'm amazed at how good my eyes look.  Very little swelling and very little bruising.  Yippee

Guess I should have waxed my eyebrows first.....duh.

Notice how you can see my entire pupil on the right.   That hasn't happened in a long time

Very little bruising.

Why didn't I have him remove that double chin while he was working on me.  Yet another trait from my father.   Thanks Dad.  

Making the Rounds

We went around and visited the graves here in KC.   We had a new one to add  to our list.   Sorry to have to visit Aunt Helen this way but I like to think she's in a much better place.

Post Surgery

I'm feeling great after eye surgery.  Hubby even took me out for a treat at McDonalds.   I told him that either the Doctor didn't do it right or he's really good.   I like to think he's really good.   I have no pain on day 2 and very little swelling.    

Visiting Dad

Mom and I took a road trip on Saturday to Centralia Kansas.   The head stone turned out really nice, the back side includes information on his military service.    

This is the back side of the head stone. 

Perfect setting for my dad.   He's at the top of the hill with no other graves around him.  He liked his space and the country.
