Well... thanks to our neglect with spreading our gravel, we're going to have babies! This mama snapper was laying eggs in the cozy little rock spot! I guess I have to do a little research, so we can watch for the hatching and relocate the little critters to the Montezuma wildlife refuge!!
Apparently your "grand dog" likes the Christmas present too, Grama Colleen! He follows Collin everywhere- even into the trampoline!! Up the makeshift picnic table steps and into the FUN!
We had a great time at our picnic... friends, family and good food! Thanks everyone- for bringing such yummy food!! Brian even got the trampoline up in time for the gathering... so we had all kinds of great kid entertainment! Bounce house, trampoline, swing set, hot tub, volleyball net, bonfire... all the good stuff!!
Yes... I know this is a VERY boring picture for most of you... but it's a MIRACLE in this house!! I was babysitting Mom's plants over the winter (she didn't really trust me!) and LOOK-- it's beautiful (not to mention still ALIVE!!)
Well... you guessed it... more CRAZY boys!! (BJ, Cameron, Mitch and Joel: all from school!) This photo is from Cameron's backyard tire swing... BJ says we need to get a tire swing! I don't think there will be a shortage of tires here- We could put one in EVERY TREE WE OWN!!! Anyone want to buy a tire swing????
This pic was from BEFORE the FROSTING FIGHT!!
Who wouldn't LOVE this face!?!?!?
Eva spent much of the day looking like this... she's a little afraid of people!... not to mention being a spoiled rotten monster!
BJ being a wise guy... as usual!!
What a beautiful day for a celebration!
There's nothing like waking up on Mother's Day and having coffee in the hot tub!! We all took a swim before we started our 2nd annual gardening and yard work Mother's Day... that's what Mommy wants!! We all worked on the landscaping- it looks so nice! And Eddie, Terri and the kids came over for dinner (Eddie ran the tiller for my garden and various other planting needs that I had!!) It was a such a gorgeous day!
These pictures are from almost two weeks ago- but they're TOO CUTE to NOT post them!! This is the famous Cleveland, NY house that my whole family fell in love with on the north shore of Oneida Lake... and I'm GLAD... I mean... SO So Sad to see it go! It sold last week- just after these photos were taken!
Eva was Auntie Martha and Uncle Tom's helper- "My a BIG helper!" she'd say!
CUTE gardening hats!
Eva met a new friend at baseball the other night... Maria is the same age as Eva and she has two brothers (one on Collin's team and one on Cameron's team- same age as BJ)! They sure did have a great time picking the flowers and running around together!
Our baseball stars... BJ, Collin, and Cameron (well- he's not officially ours- but we love him too!) 
BJ's team... American Legion sponsored Port Byron Little League Team (Cameron is Port Byron too- but his team is sponsored by Robinson Concrete)
Collin's team...Helmer Construction... coached by Don Helmer, of course!!
We had a great time at Brian's Union Dinner Dance... those electricians know how to PARTY!! He received his 5 year membership pin- can you believe there were men there who have been members for up to 60 years!!! And those retired members were the best dancers at the party!
I can't believe it was 84 degrees here yesterday! The Mommies were in charge of the kids and the food- and we had fun watching the crazy children play in the water! Apparently, Eva was in charge of the hose... and the water fight went on all around her! I tried to get her to look at me for a picture, but she was "doin' the water"!!!! 
I can't believe how much we got accomplished yesterday! Our guys, Ken, Eddie, and Pete, came over to help Brian put up our monster sized barn beam. They made it look easy, too! (All except when no one could reach anymore, and Brian lifted it by himself the last few inches up to the support that held it in place!!!)We even got the loft floor joists and the stairs in! Today we will put the floor in... and move everything from the driveway back into the barn!! We look a little trashy, with everything we own in the driveway!! Good thing we're not on a main road- or people would probably be stopping to try and buy stuff at our "yard sale"!!!!
