More African Daisies

Will and Charly stopped by and of course they had to have their pictures taken in the African Daisies (me not them). At the end of the month when it was time to pull up the daisies I really didn't want to do it so I decided to do a little bit each day. I started on Friday and pulled for an hour, an hour or two on Saturday, and on my birthday I was out there for a couple of hours. I decided that Tuesday would be the last day and by this time I had 5 garbage sacks full plus the black garbage dumpster. When I came around the corner after work they were all gone. Roy noticed a landscaping crew across the street and paid them to finish up the job. Money well spent=)

On March 28 Roy had knee surgery on the right knee. He was out patient and came home the same day. I think it hurt lots more than he thought it would but was only off work a few days. We have been married 31 years and he has had 10 surgeries or hospitalizations: right knee, left knee, appendix, hernia, thyroid, back surgery, back surgery, back surgery, staph epi, and motorcycle accident. The knee surgery seemed pretty easy in comparison=)

Charly's Birthday

Charley turned one on March 2. She was tired and ready to go to bed...until the cake appeared, Will showed her the finer points of blowing out candles and she knew what to do with the cake=) She is a sweetie and so easy to get along with. This is a darling little family with one more on the way=)

February Birthdays

Some of my favorite people celebrate their birthday in February: Roy 6th, Will 8th, and Brook 9th. My dad celebrated his birthday on February 23. Will turned 4 and in only 20 more years Brook will be old, I guess Roy already is=) We had fun and Will loved his dive into the chest.

Spaghetti

This is just to prove, to anyone that cares, that the darling Miss Charly loves spaghetti=)

African Daisies

Deacon's turn in the flowers.


One of the best pictures of Will I've had the pleasure to take=)

We have had rain at just the right times and just the right amount this year and the African Daisies are the best they have ever been. Every time a baby comes by we have a photo op.

Babysitting

Michelle and Ben went to Las Vegas for the MLK weekend and we got to have Marx, Maddox, Deacon, and Will Friday night. We slept in the tent and had smores and a great time. Deacon stayed until Sunday evening. When I got Deacon he was without bruise Roy was playing with him and Deacon tipped over onto the tile. Deacon was playing on his little car and fell off onto the same spot. He didn't look quite so good when his mom and dad came to get him. Oops, I hope we get to have him over again.
