My mom the graduate.

Well my mom has taken classes ever since I could remember, and on may 10, 2001 she finally finished! She graduated from McKendree about 4 years ago with her bachelors in Nursing. This time she has graduated with her master in family nurse practitioner. I am very proud of you mom! Goals and dreams are never to far away. I am sure that we all have a few to accomplish.

Parker's letter to the President.
Parker has decided that he wants to go to the White House for vacation. We are going to try real hard to make that happen this summer. He wanted to write the President a letter and so he did. It took him a few hours to write it out all nice and neat and I was real proud of him for doing so. Way to go Parker. He also included a White squirrel figurine and some tomato seeds for the "First garden". If you click on the picture you can read his cute little letter.

I have a few things from the weeks passed. We just have been so busy and I just don't have the extra time to blog these days. Got to stay productive.

Payton and Aunt Melissa at Payton's Conformation. Wow doesn't she look so grown up

okay I know that the past couple of Tuesday's I have been behind. This week I have been a little bit under the weather and nothing sounds good or tastes good. I spent the day in bed on Tuesday and I am not 100%. My dad has the same thing so I guess we gave it to each other. Check back next week I had a good main dish planned. I will try to post some pictures of other things tomorrow. It seems like May has been a very busy month and I have a lot to post.

Well as usual time had got away from me. I have been a little bit on the busy side and apologize!
This week we made Ding Dong Delight!
All you have to do is take about 6-7 ding dongs cut them in half
Make 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding. You can add a little bit of whip cream if you want to your pudding.
pour that over the ding dongs and then add whip cream over the pudding. Crush up some oreo's and put on top and there you have it yummy!
Sorry George the boys did not pull out your name, but they did pull out Lori's.
Oh and George tell neighbor Larry thanks the boys had a great time!

The second grade had their First Communion this past Sunday. What a beautiful day it was for them! Congrats second grade!
