Last Minute

I come from a family of "Last Minute Doers." I learned this morning that this is one thing about my family that bothers Chris to no end. We got home last night about 10, walked in the house and my mom was on the phone. Apparently my brother decided last last night that we're having a birthday party for my nephew tonight at 6. His actual birthday is today or tomorrow depending on if you go on when he was born or whats on his birth certificate. (that's another story). Also I got a call 2 days ago that we have a party for my niece on Saturday. At least there was a little notification on that one. And we're having a B-B-Q on Sunday for Fathers day which I still haven't got a hold everyone and told them about it. Ahhh my fabulous family!

Missed Opportunities?

I feel that I might have missed an opportunity to know someone very special. My Aunt Louise (Grandpa's older sister) passed away this last week at the age of 92. She had been in assisted living for a few years and had Alzheimer's. It was her time to go she knew it and was prepared. She passed peacefully in her sleep with a few of her family there with her. Monday was the service and it was a beautiful one. A happy one even. She will be greatly missed and was greatly loved. After attending the service yesterday I now feel that I missed out on knowing Louise. She was such a great lady and I feel I could have learned a great deal from her. So now I'll take the knowledge I have and ask questions, and learn things that I could have learned before. Although she is gone I can follow the example that she set why she was here and learn to be as kind, as caring, and as great a lady as my Aunt Louise. Keep a good eye on your family from up there. They miss you and will always look up to you! Love Always!

Busy/Fabulous Weekend

What a crazy weekend this last one turned out to be. It all started Friday about 2:00, Chris and I both got off early and made a break for USANA where we saw the X96 BASH. Medina Lake, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Offspring, and the main reason I went, Unwritten Law. There were some other bands there too, but none of them are good enough to mention. It was a great show and although Unwritten Law only played a 20 min set it was the best of the night. It totally brought me back to why they are my favorite band!

Saturday we had a BBQ at the park with some friends. It was a great time even with the huge thunderstorm that rolled through. It was slightly cold and hailed a little, but the time in the sun was great. Chris had a chance to play some b-ball with his friends which I know did him some good and Myles had a great time playing ball and hanging out on the playground. I found he loves to swing. The food was great and the time with friends was even better. Thanks for everyone for coming out. We'll have to have another one soon.

Sunday Chris Myles and I and a few other friends went to the Bees game against Reno. It was an afternoon game and we had great seats, right above the dugout along the 1st base line. The sun was shining and we ended up being in the shade for most of the game so it was perfect. Myles, personally, could have cared less about the game. He was more interested in all of the junk food we let him have. He doesn't get candy very often so he was loving it. One big moment, at least for me, was the Myles walked up the stairs at the stadium by himself, no hand holding, crawling, or stumbling. The stairs are smaller then normal ones, about 1/4 the height, but he did it no problem, and now has the confidence to walk up 3 or 4 normal stairs with no help as well. He's gr owning so fast.

It ended up being a great weekend. I loved being able to spend time with family as well as with friends. However I now need a nap!
