S. Lake Tahoe

Mr. Bob and I went to Reno and S. Lake Tahoe where we hooked up with my first cousin, your third. I had not seen Joe Kunselman in years. He did remember your dad and Uncle Bruce ("The Twins"). As Mr. Bob was walking into the resturant, he fell and broke his glasses and got a black eye. It was snowing and the lake and mountains were beautiful, but way too cold for Mr. Bob and me. Being at a ski resort reminded me of when I took your father, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Jeffrey to Breckenridge, CO for Uncle Jeffrey's 25th birthday celebration.
In Reno Mr. Bob was a winner and shared with Nana a $1,000 chip and 5 onehundred dollar bills. Lucky me.
Brought you and your brother back little shaving kits that were in our room. Now both of you can shave with your dad using your own razor and creame.

Musical & Stuff

Tonight was your musical. Here are a few photos. You did a great job and looked so cute. After the musical, we went to dinner at Chili's.

Went to visit Uncle Jeffrey over the weekend. Watched the hockey olympics where Canada beat the US for the Gold. Here's a photo of Donnie, Tom, Nana and Uncle Jeffrey watching the game at Black Angus. Canada beat the US. The game reminded me of when I would be the timekeeper for a couple of your dad's hockey games when he was young. I would get so involved in the game that I would forget to stop the clock. The referee would skate over to me and I would have to reset the clock. Whenever there was a pile of players, I would yell "Everyone out of the pool". Also, reminded me when your dad was in the state playoff games in 1978/1979. We drove in my stationwagon with luggage on the top of the car. A piece of luggage blew off while we were driving on the NY State Thruway. I had to walk back to get it. During one of the games, your dad was hit in the throat with a puck and was not breathing. It was very scary.
Monday Donnie, Uncle Jeffrey and Nana played 9 holes of golf. Donnie won, but I was one stroke under Uncle Jeffrey.
Mr. Bob and I are leaving for Reno and Lake Tahoe tomorrow. Will be gone a few days.

Shaving and Basketball

Came over Wednesday after I went to the Waste Management Phoenix Open to pick up my shirts and badge. I have been volunteering for several years now and really enjoy it.
When I saw you, I noticed a big scratch on your face. It was then I learned you had cut yourself "shaving". Boy did you cry. Boohoo, Boohoo, Boohoo..... Apparently your dad forgot to make sure the razer had the plastic cover on.

Joined your parents and Andrew at your basketball practice which included the parents. Here you are with your dad.

Basketball and Family Lunch

Mr. Bob and I went to see you play basketball yesterday. I think you were really excited that Mr. Bob came to see you. Afterwards, we went to Game Land at AZ Mills and had lunch. On the way you punched yourself in the jaw and your loose tooth fell out. Number 6. You were so happy. The Tooth Fairy would come, if you put the tooth in the right room. Last time she couldn't find you because you slept in your parents bed. I took a picture of your new empty space. I also took a photo of you with a couple of your team mates on the sidelines.
At lunch we talked a little about the 2010 Winter Olympics being held in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Last night they had the twoman bobsled event, which reminded me of when Uncle Jeffrey and I rode a fourman bobsled in Lake Placid, NY, which hosted the winter games in 1980. The man in the photo with me was the driver of the bobsled and the other is a bobsled headed downhill. The other photo is Uncle Jeffrey, a friend and me setting in the bobsled before taking off downhill.

Lunch

Monday was President's Day and you and your brother had off from school. I went over to watch the two of you. Both of you have had a cold and kept your father up almost all night, so he took a nap while we watch TV and looked at Jib Jabs on the computer. When your parents got up we all went for lunch at Chili's and you guys rode with me in my car. While we were driving you asked me if I was married and I told you no and you said I should get married to have babies. I said something about being too old and you said "that's too bad" and I told you I already had children, your father, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Jeffrey. What ever made you come up with that questions?

Valentines

You and your brother sent me the cutest Valentine's Day card.

Basketball & Mardi Gras 2010

This is from 1997 with Uncle Bruce, Nana (and her secondline umbrella) and your father.





This is a photo from 1995 of Uncle Bruce, Nana, daddy and your mother.



Her's a photo from Mardi Gras in 1994. It was my niece Indra Kriner's 19th birthday.


Here we are in front of the Mardi Gras tree. Daddy is taking the photos. Mr. Bob just got in from Mexico where he was flying doctors to a small town clinic for them to help people who need care. I hope I can go with him on the next trip. I can always do something, like organizing the stockroom or just cleaning up after surgery or whatever.

You're Second Lining and having a blast! I have on my Mardi Gras skirt and my Saints shirt because they will be playing later today in the SuperBowl.

Both you and Andrew love the King Cake. Your daddy got the "baby" this year, which means he has to buy the King Cake next year. Uncle Bruce couldn't make it because he had to work, but he joined you at your house later to watch SuperBowl 44. The Saints finally made it and beat the Colts 31 to 17. It was an awsome game. In this photo you can see your missing a tooth. Andrew punched you in the mouth last week and knocked it out. The Tooth Fairy forgot what room you were sleeping in and forgot to get your tooth, but she did leave you $6.00. Wow!!



Saturday you had your basketball game and you made 2 baskets. You really love running around on the court.
