Ok, The Ultimate Easter
Easter 1954!
Yep, it's ME!
My Mother, Thelma, made the dress, every stitch,
and I am sitting on little nylon socks with lace around the edges,
and patent leather shoes that covered my entire foot!
The flowers are azaleas that we grew, I honestly thought their blooming was connected to Easter!
PS~~ Note the gloves!! I also had a hat and *pocketbook*, don't know where, but rest assured I had one and more than likely had a *half* stick of green Wrigley gum and a kleenex in the purse, maybe a nickle too for Sunday School!
Moree Easter
And this is Jessie and Jay, children of Jody and Will. Jody is the daughter of my cousin KIM!
LOVE EASTER PICS!
More Easter
This is DAVIS GREEN! Son of Leigh and Dave Green. Leigh is the daughter of my cousin Lynn, who is the eldest daughter of my Mother's baby sister, LoLo! Got that?
At any rate, Davis is *practicing* for his school's hunt as well as our family gathering tomorrow afternoon.
Come on Mama's, send us your kids Easter shots, I will put them right here with the rest!! (this is what grandfolks do while the eggs are boiling and there are no little ones running around chatting, LOL)

Fashionetta 2009
Alivia
This was the Rose Parade float with the pagent winners!
Alivia is just tool beautiful and the float itself was GREAT!
Alivia is the Daughter of Donald and Theresa Corker, my co-worker, was first runner up and is located on the float second from the top.
Writer/Producer/Publicist in Action!
Meet Limey, Easter Bunny that was sent from Gerogia Grandma and Papa John to Utah Grands! Eldest Grand, Braydon, age 9, created a great story about Limey's arrival and published it on his Picasa Web Album.
Have a peak!
The last shot is Tyson's bear with a hole at the base of his ear (need a bit of surgery, but as you can see from one of the pictures, he is already in a wheelchair, maybe ready to go to Doc in the Box for sutures.
GOOD JOB BRAYDON!

Team Lean Ends
Whew, what a ride! We came in 29th place out of 250 teams, lost a total of 16 thousand pounds community wide, and 136 pounds for our team. The amazing part was that we won money!! That was not the goal, but was nice just the same. Now our goal is to continue with the same lifestyle habits that got us off our duffs, eating right, exercising and trying not to think about all of those things that are so deadly, mainly processed and refined sugar, flour etc. (I think all of the words were created to sounds enticing~
*Donut, Candy, Cookie, Pizza, Pie, Cake, Divinity, you get the picture*
We are trying to think differently, fruit, vegetable, protein, whole grain, healthy...
You get that picture too! For now, the weighing and measuring is over unless we start gaining. We completed the Heritage Walk and have another coming up, The Rose City Walk... on the 18th, and have been practicing for that!
Papa John is slimmer than he has been in years, with a 28 pound loss, while I am simply back where I was last August (those clothes now fit again) with a 34 pound loss. While I blame Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and vacations~~ those things will always be joyful~~ but we have to not fall into them like we have not eaten in months! Easter will be enlightening for sure, another huge family event, I plan to take a sort of Waldorf Salad (yogurt instead of Mayo) with smoked turkey to get the protein in. I am making the recipe up, this should be a hoot! Thus far, apples, raisens, celery, pecans, FF yogurt doctored with vanilla, splenda and a touch of lemon oil, then toss smoked turkey cubes over the top. I'm wide open for ideas that are delicious AND healthy! (that might be an oxymoron to some, ok, I am one of the some, but I hope to learn different))
PS.... Have you heard about Heather Carter and Wendy Ormsby? They are both expecting!!
I was all ready for them both until the date was pointed out. THANKS for the laughs, is the best I've been tricked, ever! (ok, so far as I can recall, LOL)

2009 Heritage Walk
This particular grouping is Archbold's participants. (my employer)
John and I were inside getting ater, using BR, working up courage,
not to leave out staying warm!!! Our PA, Mellisa (in the lime green in front) is being honest about the current weather that moment, kinda chilly.. then we started the walk,
the cold disappeared fast!
The Heritage WAlk is another Fund Raiser and a chance to participate in a walk competition.
Our personal goal is to simply finish the race!!
We completed the walk, amost last, but not last!
That title was held for the 84 year old woman who would have beat us except she had to sit in the ambulance for a bit as the EMT's made her put bandaids on scratches received in a very minor fall. She was MADDDD~~ said she never came in last in ANYTHING! I reminded her (as I walked her back to the starting point and got her a seat and some orange juice) that she was FIRST in her class (age 80 and over). She reminded ME that she was the ONLY ONE in her age group!! She was hilarious, a duplicate Maxine icon!!

Daddy's Shoes
Kayleigh in Daddy's Shoes!
I recall dancing on my daddy's shoes~ I just put my feet on his big shoes and I could dance as good as he could! Then putting them on and walking (dragging your entire leg) around was almost as fun.
I'm glad my son knows how important daddies are, I truly believe a large portion of our nation's problems would be solved if every child had the daddy they need and deserve, and of course a good mommy! Braydon, Tyson and Kayleigh are so blessed to have BOTH!!!
Braydon having FUN!
Tyson also having FUN!

Our Canine Children
My goal was to share the latest groomer goodies, but I managed to get personaliy pictures (a VERY difficult task, especially Gabby who runs at the sight of a camera)
Somewhere in there are beautiful little silver necklaces that came with their last grooming. The girls have little sunshines that glitter all silvery and shiney. I know they love them, or at least I do, necklaces and dogs both!!!
The top picture (Bonnie again) does show the necklace!

Flat Stanley came to Georgia!
At Church with Sky and Great-Grandmother Thelma
Stanley enjoyed the now blooming Azaleas, Camellias, Dogwood, Redbud and Japanese Magnolia!
How about a climb in our huge old Magnolia?
Last weekend we received a letter from Meadow Elementary in Lehi Utah. We opened it up and out popped flat Stanley, here for a visit! We had a great time, visited a lot of historical places about town, and breathed all of the yellow pollen that is covering everything. I hope he doesn't have allergies, didn't seem to have any problems at all except that I wanted to KEEP HIM (Tyson colored him, had his name on the back and I could just imagine him on my refrigerator!)
Anyway, I did a scrapbook of all of the activities and sent Stanley back to Utah as instructed.
THANKS for thinking of us Tyson, we loved the visit!!
