Go God!
This weekend Hunter was confirmed in our church. Confirmation is a 4 month process. There are weekly lessons, visits other churches and religions and a retreat. Each confirmand has a mentor and does a statement of faith.
Joe and I were blessed by these two great kids as their mentors.
But I think Hunter was the real winner, his mentor was none other than the sweet friend in the video wearing a red t-shirt. She has known Hunter his whole life- Drew spent the night at her house the night he was born. She has blessed his life with her influence, kindness and showers of love and attention.
Thank you!
PS The last confirmation class serves dinner to the current class- told you he's a waiter..

Say it ain't so..........
The leak is back! Thanks to a drip pan that is too small.
Exhibit A-
Drip pan access through my closet. Thank goodness there's no water leaking onto my expansive irreplaceable wardrobe. The drip pan is the lighter grey thingy at the bottom. You can see the small cut along the bottom where it meets the white baseboard-that's were the "water" comes in or out rather. If the drip pan was the right size it would come half away up the side of the shower- do you see it's only a few inches.
Exhibit B-
My new best friend Mark fixing another problem. One of our shower heads is leaking too!
Exhibit C-
The leaky bad parts
Exhibit D-
Me and Mark bonding- he's going to be here alot in the next few weeks- Hope I don't get on his nerves too much. I'm going to be taking alot of pictures. Bring you "A" game Mark.

Today She Would Have Been "90" Years Young
My Grandma would have been 90 today. I was lucky to spend 30 years with her and think we're alot alike. She was a first born and started her family at the same age I did. She was super crafty. She loved shoes, clothes, lipstick and getting her hair done....every Friday. She was a good cook and great baker.
It's hard to find a picture of just her because she and my Grandpa were inseparable.
Even though she's been gone more than 10 years, she is still very present in my life. Happy Birthday Grandma!

What is to Come...
Friday night Drew sat with the high school band he'll play in next year. Every year they invite new recruits over to play with them for first half of the game.
Drew is to the far right of the picture. To his far left is a friend he's known his whole life.
They pair the kids up with someone who plays their same instrument as mentors.
Afterwards, they went to the upper level and watched the half time show. It was a great experience, we are really looking forward to next year!
While we were at the game, Hunter was with his confirmation class. During the process they visit several different churches and religions. Friday they went to a Jewish Temple. I couldn't pick just one picture, so here are four. I have a fun story about his shirt and tie- stay tuned
After it was all said and done we met at Ms. W.'s for a little birthday celebration.

Because We Drive Fast and Take Chances....
Baby Bear turns "13" today! We gave him what he has been looking at and longing for for months.....a SKATEBOARD! Are we crazy? Yes.
Surely he wouldn't break his arm again....
Lightening doesn't strike twice...does it?
He took it upon himself to write birthday wishes all over the bathroom mirror.
Sweet G. decorated our front yard.
Sneezy took him out for breakfast. All this before 8am!

Uptown Girls
Today we were ladies who "lunch"
We went to a FancySchmancy restaurant "in town"- a place you would never see these 5 domestic goddesses. How fancy you ask.....
So fancy that this guy parked my car! The food was sublime and the company divine.
Happy Birthday C!
PS- the store in the background is not the fancyschmancy restaurant
