Carnival Rides and Green Faces




Everyone enjoys the Carnival and this family is no exception. Last night we loaded up the children and away we went. We really had a lot of fun. The children wanted to ride all of the rides and not leave even one out. That is hard when you are a tad on the short side and so you have no choice but to watch. McClain had it easier than Joey, but all in all they had a good time. Micah was eager to join in on most everything. It was fun to watch him, at first unsure than the huge smile spread across his face as he started to enjoy the thrill of the ride. This was LisaMarie's first year to get to do it all and boy howdy did she. It was extra nice that she hooked up with a school friend, Peyton, and they spent the rest of the evening riding every thing they could get their daddy's on. Here are a few pictures of a great evening. Forgive the one blurry one, but it includes almost all of the children, Merrill, Peyton and her dad, Snap.












Towards the end of our fun filled evening, we all took turns going the famous shade of green that goes so well with carnival riding. First there was Merrill the leader of the pack. Then McClain announced that his hips were scared. I hope that someone can fully explain that one to me..LOL Then Roberta and Mordachi got off their last ride sick as dogs. They never recovered till after bed time. Next we lost Jesse and he actually tossed his cookies....sorry to be so graphic. Lastly was Miss LisaMarie...she was hollering for the poor guy to stop the ride cause she was going to throw up. McClain may be only 5, but he was yelling for her. Upon getting off the ride, McClain took Miss LisaMarie's hand and said.....don't worry sissy, you were just allergic to that ride. Too cute that boy of ours. At that point, we loaded up all the family and went home. Lets hope the picnic with the church is easier on us all later today. Hugs and Love to all and Have a Happy 4th of July.

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

JUNE 30, 1978

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho...
