4th of July 2011


Mr. Bob's daughter came with her family to give me a break in taking care of Mr. Bob after his knee surgery.  So, they were here for the 4th of July when you and your family came over for a BBQ.  Right before we ate, I burned my left arm on the baked beans casserole.  It really hurt and your father went to the drugstore to get some cream and a bandage.  Your mother fixed me up with a pain pill and I finished it all with lots of wine.  However, I did stay around to watch the cannonball contest and the ball toss.


Here's your father jumping into the pool.   Then you practicing for the cannonball contest.




Here's you with Andrew and Jaiden.



Here are the winners of the cannonball contest.  You, Andrew, Alyssa and Jaiden.  In the background is Mr. Ron, our neighbor, and Mr. Dennis.  Everyone won a ball.







Later Mr. Dennis threw balls for you to catch when you jumped into the water.

Of course, your mother and Mr. Bob had to oplay some chess.  You mother came out the winner.




Later you and Andrew played in the family room for awhile.  I went to bed very early because the pain pill and the sleeping pill knocked me out.

Saturday, June 25, 2011 Basketball Finals

Yesterday was the basketball finals.  Unfortunately, you lost your first game and that was it.  However, you and your team played great and tried hard. 

This photo is you and your team mates on the side waiting to play your game.




After the game, your coach gave a little speech and handed out candy bars to the whole team, because everyone had tried so hard.  He even gave a candy bar to Andrew.



Here's the team photo.














After the game we went back to your house and I played Wii bowling with you and your brother.

Later, Mr. Bob and I meet you and your family for dinner.  We were going to go to Vitos Pizzaria.  They had not opened yet so we went to BJ's.

Basketball Game

I came over this afternoon so I could watch you play basketball.  Before the game we played Wii bowling and I won a game, you won and so did Andrew.


I could only stay for your first game, because I didn't want to get back too late.  Unfortunately, you lost your first game and the second.  This league is really starting to play by the real rules of basketball.  You are really a very good player.  Here are some photos I took.

Father's Day 2011

Yesterday was Father's Day and you, your brother, mother and Uncle Bruce came over for a BBQ  We went swimming and your father cooked chicken and hot dogs. 

You told me how you made breakfast and gave it to you father in bed.  You were so pleased with yourself.

While your father was in the pool he noticed the filter was full.  When he took a good look he saw three floating dead mice.  I started singing "Three Blind Mice"  In order for your father to empty the filter, he had to have a glove on and used your mother's flip flops to get to the filter.  I took a photo of him.

While in the pool you and your brother had a cannonball contest.  Your father then joined in.

After we ate you found a snake in the grapefruit tree and wanted me to touch it.  Your mother wouldn't, but I did.  It was fake!!!  Mr. Bob put it there to scare away critters that might eat the grapefruit.


Your mother made Father's Day cake pops and brought some for Mr. Bob.  She is so talented!!

We talked a little about your birthday.  I will be out of town and want to do something special for you the weekend before I leave.  I finally came up with something special and you tried to guess, but didn't come up with the correct answer.  Andrew guessed it, but I couldn't tell him he got it, because I want it to be a surprise.

Swimming

Today you your mother and your brother came over to see me & Mr. Bob and go swimming. After swimming and playing some games Andrew asked to watch Terry Fator.  Here are some photos of you and Andrew  with the Winston puppets I have.












While we were swimming, playing games and watching Terry Fator your mother and Mr. Bob played checkers. Your mother wone $40.00 and was so excited. Rightfully so because she has never won that big before.

Andrew's 6th Birthday Celebration

Yesterday, I went to the South Point Grand Resort to help celebrate Andrew's 6th BD. Your parents decided to stay the weekend and enjoy the water park at the resort. As soon as I arrived you dared me to go down the big slide and I did.  You were so excited. 

Here are some photos.  In your suite with Andrew opening his gift and other photos.

















Here you are going down the slide.  Then your father going down the "big" slide and then me at the bottom of the "big" slide.  I did it!!!






Later we went to Rustler's Roost for dinner.





It was a fun day.
