Memorial Day

This Memorial day was a little different for me. Strange that I was planning on what flowers I wanted to put on Konley's grave My stepson - didn't think I would be doing this a year ago All in all I would say it was a good day. We got up early and met Russ' brother and sister at Konley's grave and then went to go get donuts at Lamars (a favorite place of his). Not thinking - that they might be closed due to Memorial day, so off we went hunting down a place to eat. Since the weather was cooperating - we headed off to the zoo. We saw lions, tigers and bears oops - we missed the bears this time. London really loves seeing all the different animals. Once we got back home it was time to clean, do laundry, mow the yard and play. So, Russ is off to Dairy Queen to get us some ice cream to finish off our evening. Hope everyone had a moment to remember those they've lost over the years. Konley, we love you and miss you being with us on a daily basis.

To the Harrison Street Neighbors

. . . only two more days

Sprinkler Fun

The last couple days have been hot - 86 today and it isn't even June! London loves to play in the water. She is always getting into my watering can, turning on the outside facets etc. So, yesterday I thought she might enjoy the sprinkler. Here is a short video of the excitement. The first time she ran into the sprinkler her expression was priceless - I don't think she expected it to be that cold. Lots of giggles and squeals were heard in our neighborhood as I noticed other kids out playing in water.

Game Night Stats Men - 6 Ladies - 3

Game night this month was at Frank and Amy's house. I think my best picture of the evening was on the way to their house. When you are teenager I think you regress back to the sleep habits of a newborn baby. It was funny, at one point Keyton woke up because he felt "little fingers" in his mouth.

Megan and Morgan had a good time with London. They took her to their room with all kinds of fun girly things to play with. It was cute - they kept dressing her up in their play clothes. This is High School Musical cheer leading outfit. They told me that it was very difficult to dress and undress her and thought it was funny that she kept trying to drink out of the baby doll's bottle.

Adam and Dee

Keeping score became an issue this time.

Afterwards Megan talked Russ and Adam into trying the Wii Fit yoga.

Kassade, Keyton, Cody and Taylor spent their time down in the basement playing Rock Band. Some of the singing filtered upstairs - I won't count on them making American Idol.

It was a sad night for the ladies. The men won all three games of Buzz Word, but the food was good and we had a lot of laughs again. Thanks for a great night!
