Lia Rae-1st Communion

Here she is our beautiful oldest granddaughter! Lia Rae-8 years old!

This would have been an even better picture if Father had come out from behind the door! That's who she is looking up at! He is such a fantastic priest at their church, awesome with the kids, always so friendly and has everyone laughing and actually talks sports with my son-in-law and grandson Peyton! What a combination!

Pretty girl!

Easter 2011!

Another wonderful Easter has come and gone! As always there was tons of great food, good company with family and lots of egg hunting going on with the little ones! We were minus my sister and her family this year, my niece and brother-in-law had to work and we really missed them being there, especially my sisters famous blueberry cheese cake! I think she really gets tired of making it but we never tire of eating it! But Courtney pulled through and made a Delicious raspberry cheesecake so we didn't go without any desert! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed the awesome weather....sunshine and mid 60's here in Wisconsin was like pure Heaven!

33 YEARS!!!!

I know this is coming late but we have had a few busy weeks lately and not the good busy! On the 7th we got that call that everyone dreads late at night, Randy's Uncle Bud in Iowa had passed away from a massive heart attack. He was only 61 and a real favorite of everyone. When we were married 33 years ago the 15th we had to go down to Randy's grandfather's funeral the day after our wedding. While we were there we stayed in a little motel, so while down there this time we thought we would see if it was still there. Sure enough it doesn't look as "cute" as it did 33 years ago but it was still standing! Kind of like me and Randy, still standing after all these years! Hard to believe it's been that long and I have to say that we are very lucky that we still enjoy being together. This past weekend we went to Green Bay just to get away for our anniversary. We usually do every year. Nice and relaxing, just the two of us.But we can't stay away for too long because we start missing the rest of our family. We are very lucky that they all live so close, not sure how I would handle it if we weren't able to see them every day. So here is to 33 years with my best friend and looking forward to many more! I'm very lucky to be married to someone who can still make me laugh after all these years!
