Darling Jenni

So, I procrastinate! Here are the whole 3 pictures taken at Jenni's birthday bash!



< Snappy Title Here > a.k.a. "Dropped it. Dropped it."

Jack and Sammy are sooo much fun!
I hung out with them and Jen last night.
(Jen is a blast, too!)

(Sammy was saving some supper for later...
that's what's all over his face!!)

"Treat Time. All done!" ~ Sammy
When Sammy heard it was treat time he put the cap back on
my camera so we could go get our treat. (mini M&Ms)

Jack's first bag of mini's popped open and went all
over the steps. We left them for the squirrels!
(Sorry, Janet and Heather!)

Jack took this picture.


I got my very first 'Easter Basket' from Jen and the Boyz!!!!
When Sammy was giving it to me, he dropped it. While he
was picking it up he kept muttering "Dropped it. Dropped it."
HEE!
It got even funnier (maybe not to Bob, tho!) when Bob
called from Florida and when Sammy got the phone, all
he'd say before dropping the phone was.......
"Dropped it. Dropped it."


After the boys went to bed, Jen and I talked
and we tried to watch American Idol.
Kelli left...But Elliott's still there!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the rest of the pictures.

Walking the Dog


Eliot went on our walk tonight. What a riot! Here are all the pix.

When I say I am a Christian

"Christian" by Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.

Psalms 23:5
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over."

CopyRighted

When you write copy, you own the right of copyright to the copy you write, if the copy is right.

If, however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy.

If you write religious services, you write rite, and own the right of copyright to the rite you write.

Conservatives write Right copy, and own the right of copyright, to the Right copy they write.

A right-wing cleric would write Right rite, and owns the right of copyright to the Right rite he has the right to write.

His editor has the job of making the Right rite copy right before the copyright can be right.

Should Reverend Jim Wright decide to write Right rite, then Wright would write right rite,

to which Wright has the right of copyright.

Duplicating his rite would be to copy Wright's Right rite, and violate copyright,

to which Wright would have the right to right.

Right?

In sickness and in Health

Oma broke her foot yesterady morning. One of my favorite Michigan people, Dan Cloniger, died this weekend. The funeral is Thursday or Friday. :-( I won't be going, and neither will Oma. Mom was gonna go with Opa, but some other friends are going with him and Mom is staying home to watch over Oma. What is it with people dying on Sundays? It's kinda funny - just last week I'd asked if Dan was still alive, cuz his name wasn't on the wedding invite. So...they changed the label, and now...he is dead. Laugh if you will, Dan LOVED jokes! His fav was one was a picture of a toilet fastened to a motorcycle. It was the 'Old Person's Motorcycle'. I miss Dan. Man, do I miss Dan! We used to email jokes all the time, but when Dan moved to the nursing home, the email was shut down. :-( I miss Dan...........He was awesome.

kids on marriage

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY (written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she! should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10


No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10


WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by
then.
-- Camille, age 10


No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.

- - Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)


HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the
same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8


WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don't want any more kids.

-- Lori, age 8


WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each
other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)


On the first date, they just tell e! ach other lies and that Usually gets
them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10


WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers
and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9


WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich.

-- Pam, age 7


The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7


The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them
and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8


IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone
to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)


HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?

-- Kelvin, age 8


And the #1 Favourite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.

-- Ricky, age 10

A Good Friend Indeed






Remember:

"A good friend will come bail you out of jail....

But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ...

WE screwed up, but we had fun!"

Driving Skills

I still feel like this sometimes when driving with Mom...

April 14, 2006

Morning!

The drive to work was spectacular!!! The pictures don't capture much...I had to pay more attention to my driving than the pictures...








A Joke, courtesy a co-worker's 5-year-old:
Why did the elephant cross the road?
To get his trunk!
To you, this may not be funny, but the way he told the joke was totally funny!


And Bob's blog has an awesome video...

A N.A.S. Sleeper Cell
This dude was taking a nap right out in the open!!!!

A Walk in the Park
Tuesday nights I have been in the wonderful habit of going to Lukas' after work, and there's been such nice weather that we've been out walking!!! And the park was dry/clean enuf this week, so Hailey actually got to play for a little while!

Making Pizza!
After our walk Gretchen and Hailey made pizza and we watched American Idol.

Banfill: A New Day

Old Ladies

An old lady walked into a Grocery Store. She wanted to buy the best dog food in the world for her little puppy. She went up to the cash register to buy the food.
The saleslady told her that the store did not allow old ladies to buy animal food unless they show the actual animal because a lot of old ladies like to eat the animal food themselves. So, the old lady went home, got her dog and went back to the store to buy her dog food.
The next day she came back to buy the best cat food around. But the Sales lady told her the same thing, so the old lady went back home and brought her cat to the Grocery Store to buy the cat food.
The next day the old lady went to the Grocery Store again carrying a big container.
She went up to the sales lady and said, "Put your hand inside here."
The Saleslady shook her head. "NO!" she said, "there is probably something in there that will bite me!"
"I promise you there is nothing in here that will bite you," the old lady said.
So the Saleslady stuck her hand inside the container and screamed.

What was in the can?
