Great Grandma Kathryn's Funeral

We had the "grave side service" for my Grandma on May 1st. She didn't want a funeral so we just had a very short program. It was nice to see all the people that came (esp because it was so cold).



That night after the service we celebrated Clark's birthday (I know, what a way to spend your birthday) We walked to a restaurant called Lambs. It had been raining ALL DAY, and there were lots of puddles. On the walk back to the hotel the girls were walking with Clark, and Jens splashed in a huge puddle that Clark was trying to jump over. She got Clark's leg really wet, and laughed harder than I have ever heard her laugh. She must have laughed for at least 2 city blocks.

Visits to Grandma Kathryn

(I started to write this blog entry on April 17, but the pictures were not uploading so I stopped. My Grandma passed away on April 22.)

We have been going to see my Grandma Kathryn a lot lately. Here are some pictures:

Baby Mac turns 2 months

Man how time flies. Our baby Mac is already 2 months.

back yard camp out

Mark was home alone with the girls, and they decided to go on a camp out-- in the backyard. It was a huge hit!! They made smores, roasted hot dogs and watched a movie in the tent.

Mac's Blessing

We really wanted to make sure that my grandma could come to baby Mac's blessing- so we quickly decided to have it last Sunday. It was really special for us, and we appreciated all that were able to make it.

Maissie and Makenna

Maissie has the cutest bestie ever! They do a lot together because they get along so well ( and it works our perfect for me and Makenna's mom :))
They even sometimes have the same shirt! (this was St. Patricks day)
This is their singing group Twist and Shout. They love to sing the songs in the car together.
AND they are on the same soccer team! We are hoping some of Makenna's athleticism will rub off on Maissie :)
AND, they are in the same preschool class. I love it!

who is that?

This guy walked in with my brother Clark- I kept looking at him thinking hmmm. Turns out it was my other brother Arthur- he had cut his hair. Check it out.

Before- Arthur with his son Evan Miracle Miles
After, with Nonna and Amooh

Thanks Patrice

We have a dear family friend- or friend who is now family- Patrice. She is great! We all love her, especially Jens :) She was so kind to take almost all of the pictures at Macade's blessing/party.
Someone managed to get a picture of her.
Thanks Patrice!

Happy Green Day :)

thank goodness for grandparents

Our parents have helped us out so much- especially this last couple months with Macades coming along. MJ went to Roosevelt for a week to hang out with the Lemon's. She had a great time, and did not really want to come home.
We asked MJ if she wanted anything special when she got home. She said she wanted a cake that said "Welcome Home Maissie we missed you" and she said she wanted it pink with chocolate letters.
