May the Luck of the Irish be with You

In June of 2009, we made a cross country trek to Walt Disney World. This was an extra special trip as we were celebrating Kevin's graduation and also had Michael Will with us. Nicole, Isa and Kai joined us in Florida. After time in WDW we headed north to Canada to visit with the Rutter side of the family. Once we got to Sarina, ON, Mark joined us. One morning while he was giving Nicole some extra time with Kai to get ready he took Isa on a walk around the hotel grounds. She was so happy to show us what she had found when they returned. Can you tell what it is?

Yup, it's a lucky four leaf clover.

Of course Isa is a very lucky little girl, she has me for a meemaw!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
May the luck of the Irish be with you!

Priceless Artwork

Well, I've finally have some artwork and it's priceless, so don't even ask if you can purchase it from me! My grandkids gave me these for Christmas, and I've found a spot for them that I like, so up they went. They are just held there with a push tack (thanks Lisette for that idea) and soon will be put up more securely. Now why did I leave that big blank spot in the middle you may be wondering?? Well, I'm going to get a picture while we are in Disneyland of the whole group (maybe with the mouse himself) and it will go there. Perfect, huh?This is the view I get every time I come down the stairs. I no longer believe in taking time to stop and smell the roses, however I do believe in taking the time to stop and enjoy the paintings on my wall! Priceless, i'm telling you, absolutley priceless!

A Guessing Game for You

While downtown last week with my out of town buddies, I spotted these beaded ties, and right away thought of Kevin . . . can you guess which one made me think - oh, he's got to have this one!

And no, he didn't get one :(

A Day with My Favorite Cowboy

Today was a day I spent with some out of town friends, Eileen and Dawn. I also got to see my favorite cowboy, as they wanted to head on down to The Fremont Experience. He was still on the corner waiting for me and hasn't changed a bit since we last met up.

When we left the Experience we took a little drive to see how all the old neon signs are coming along. I also wanted to see how the Neon Bone yard was coming. As you can see they are coming back to life and looking good, at least in my opinoin.

I love this this red high healed shoe, I don't know what it was a part of but will find out one day, trust me on that!

Valentine Dance

Last Saturday night Kevin got to take his best girl to the Valentin dance. They looked awesome and had a great time. For your information Nicole we left, they had dinner so Cindy and I went for dinner!! We made it back for the last 15 minutes and that's when I shot the picture's and video.

Happy Valentine's Day

It's February 14, so happy Valentine's day everyone! It still seems so strange to me to say that without it following a happy birthday mom! But time does march on and you become accustomed to a new way of doing things. This is post is about nothing inpaticular just pictures that I came across that were nice memories, so I'm sharing. This first one is funny if you knew my mother as she very much so disliked shower games. I remember this shower was held at her house so she figured when it was game time she would just busy herself with something that had been "forgotten". She must have forgotten that Kymmie K was coming and Kymmie had other plans for her grandmother that day, she was going to play the game and blindfolded at that! I'm wonder now if she was ever forgiven for that . . .
This was the night of my graduation and dad's mom and brother, Mark along with his girlfriend. Liz, had come for the big event.


I believe this was Kym's second birthday. Mom always had to be right there seeing every one's new "pretties", and helping to try them out.
Every time we went to visit mom while we lived in Kent, the last thing mom would always say to me was make sure you bring the kids swim suits, they want to go in the hot tub.
This is another one of Kym's birthday's. I like this picture because Mikey has that long haired look going on :)

Awww, grandma must have picked out the most perfect gift, because she is getting a kiss from Kym!

Henry was one of the costumes Yeager's used a special events in the 70's, I believe it's Mike Copeland in the suit,And it's Kelly in the Snoopy Red Barron costume. I wished I had found pictures from when we would all get together and decorate the Yeager's float for the Ski to Sea parade, but I didn't so maybe next year.Here is one of us outside the San Diego Zoo when Mike was Stationed there during his stint in the Navy. Remember in one of my previous post how I said we went to other places in CA just never Disneyland?
Again, Happy Valentine's Day everyone

*sigh* one day I'll get used to this, I really will.

First Great~Grandchild

I love this picture of mom with Cole. Cole was mom and dad's first great~grandchild, born to Danny Welch and Tracy. She truly enjoyed her role of a grandmother and enjoyed all of her grandchildren . . . great or other wise ;)Of course had to get some pictures of Cole with both of the greats, you've been seeing some of dad in these post's even though it is not his birthday month. I figured after all they were married for 60 years he's bound to be in a few, and he was the one who traveled around checking on them all the time as he was the retired one. Mom did retire a couple of times but Frank could always convince her to go back to Yeager's.
