The week of the June 16th

Just celebrated Grandpa Karl's 70th Birthday on the 15th. Even though the top layer fell off the cake we still thought is was good. Aunt Karen made wonderful chicken and salad! Enjoyed everyones company good to see all of them.

The girls left on Tuesday to go to Aunt Lisa's for a couple of days. She spoiled them rotten by getting them toys, clothes and taking them to a movie and a play. They went to the Wagon Wheel to see Wizard of Oz and then the next day to Huntington to see the movie Kung Fu Panda. Tressa's favorite part of the week was the shopping for clothes, Kennedy loved feeding Ike and the donkeys.

We are saddened today about the news of Tim Russert, moderator of Meet the Press. Chris and I had the honor of seeing him at the annual Purdue Fish Fry a couple of years ago. He talked about his dad and his simple upbringing. He was a great speaker, down to earth, will be missed as some one you could count on to get the story right.

Busy day running errands etc. We went to the orthodontist to get K's head gear. After enjoying good food at Tammy's for PChef it was time for bed, Tressa volunteered to read to K. Picture perfect...Iwould of never guessed it would end like this after the 20 minute fight at the Walmart over who was going to push the cart.

What a beautiful day, at least where we live, south of us there is lots of flooding. Aunt JuJu has come to visit and the girls look forward to seeing her. Mom and Tressa prepared to watch Big Brown make history at the Belmont, but much to our disappointment it did not happen! At least I did not make a bet on that one! Fancy was not amused by his bonnet, but he still looks good in the picture. Ended the day enjoying our neighbors company and wonderful stories!

We participated in the Relay for Life this evening. A big ""thank you" to Tressa for walking for the family in honor of Grandpa WAM, Uncle Richard and Cory. We miss them all, but know that they are at peace now. Unfortunately, a storm started to come in and we had to pack up everything, but we look forward to next year!

This pictures was taken last October in Moscow, Indiana. I wanted to take a picture of Kennedy in front of a E L Kennedy covered bridge and this was the closet one. E L Kennedy and his brother built covered bridges and were from Columbia City, Indiana. As of Tuesday night the bridge was destroyed by a tornado. It was a beautiful long bridge and we took several pictures that I will cherish. Not only was the bridge destroyed but most of the town (not much there to begin with). Nanny and I went there last year for the Bridge Festival then went to Milan to tour the 1954 State Basketball Champs museum, it was a great day.

Weekend adventure

Over the weekend we cooked smores with our friends the Mengs and Hunts. We thought you would enjoy the pictures. The tutu's were the hightlight of the night and we also enjoyed the wonderful sticks the kids brought up from the field.

The girls are out for the summer and what better way to kick off the summer by starting a blog. Right now they are busy in the bathroom putting pantyhose on their heads. We are busy planning activities for the Relay for Life this Friday and Tressa has been a big help. Last night we went to Shirley to take pictures for Tressa's 4H project and ended up at the Shirley Museum and Ice Cream Shop. Tressa had the best ice cream, Cinnamon Crunch! We just signed up for Library activities so we are off to read books!
