Well, so much has been happening. Life in general is full of changes and accomplishments especially with my boys. My son Ryan (20) is still a volunteer firefighter, and working full time second shift as a welder. He still lives at home and I hardly ever see him! He recently bought a 4 wheeler and on weekends he goes riding with friends and dad and brother. They love to get muddy and have a great time! Ryan on his 4 wheeler (below)
Andrew (below)Andrew (13) hates to have his picture taken and refuses to smile, but he let me take this one when they got back fro 4 wheelin', and I just love it! :) I talked him into using it on his My Space...LOL
Andrew is my sports guy. They just finished track season at the middle school and he did very well for it being his first season participating in track. He likes to run and is very fast for his size. His events were hurdles, long jump, 4 x1 relay, and the 100 meter dash. He was awarded Captain of the track team, and he earned FIRST PLACE in Vermilion County, IL in the 100 Meter Dash! woo hoo! He won a gold medal. He went on to sectionals and didn't do as well, but the competition was really stiff with kids from the bigger cities competing. He did place 4th or better in his other events so overall he did well. They had to place 1st or 2nd to go to State competition. One of his other teammates went to State for the shot put and got 5th in State! It was a good year for our track team! Baseball is upon us now.
Some cakes I have made recently:
I survived Mothers Day and Graduation season at work. Normally it is H*ll during the month of May. I think the economy has really cut down our graduation cake orders this year. We weren't nearly as busy as we usually are.
My dad broke his leg in late April while mowing the grass at home. he fell off a retaining wall! He spent a month in a rehab place getting stronger and more mobile to be able to come home and had to be able to navigate 4 steps to get into the house. He came home last week. My sis from South Carolina is there for two weeks to stay with him and my other sis who lives there in Peoria is doing a fantastic job of taking care of things for him too. I live two hours away and wish I could be there more often. I did spend my last three days over there visiting. My sister Beth and I Scrapbooked! over a year ago she gave me her sons graduation mementos and pictures to scrap and I never got around to it, so we did it together and got 12 pages done! I still have to post pictures of them
Thats all for now..three days of me being gone has done a number on my house...gotta get busy! :)
