THE FIVE

Ten years ago I was....

1. 19 years old

2. Lived at home 

3. attended Riverside Community College

4. went to the gym everyday

5. screened all my phone calls (along with my sister Julie) We had issues and just could not tell boys we did not like them. It was funny they would continue to call for months (see Julies blog)

at the time we didn't know what kind of damaging affects this was creating. Until our younger brother Danny got older and had a complex about calling girls and was positive that when he was told they were not home they indeed were home and only screening their phone calls. Danny on behalf of Julie and I "we are sorry!"

oh sew long

I got reacquainted with an old friend yesterday. My sewing machine. I decided I was going to make curtains for the kids playroom and as I got out my sewing machine I saw a blanket I had started to make before Clara was born. Yes, its been that long. So after the initial awkwardness of threading the bobbin I was good to go. 

Here is my finished baby blanket for my 3  yearold.  Steve is not sure if he likes the pink fabric. Feel free to tell me what you think of the curtains. 

 

This is what our front room looked like while I was working on the curtains and not paying attention to June and Clara.

Build-A-Bear for Junes Birthday!

                                June named hers Tinker-Bear. Genius.  

June in September

Sometimes I look at pictures of June the ones of her before Clara and Clyde were born and I almost feel homesick. Don't get me wrong I love C&C its just life was so simple then. I miss the carefree days of just Me, June and Steve. I miss my June baby. 

 So this has been a busy month for June. She lost her first tooth. the day before her first day of school. June was so excited for the Tooth Fairy. Also you get to see what i have to brush in the mornings June gets the craziest bedhair. June Turned 5 years old on the 12th of this month. She has been begging me to take her to Build-A-Bear workshop. So for her Birthday thats where we went. I will post that blog tomorrow. 

 I want to tell you a little bit about June. She loves to say HI to everyone and does. June makes everyone feel welcome she loves visitors and will either invite you to her house or ask if she can come to your house and make cookies (one of her faves) She has had a crush on Kenny Brady for I think at least the past 2 1/2 years. Her cousin Dean she says is her bestfriend and when you see them together you can see why. June is a tomboy who also likes her toenails painted. She is the best of both worlds. She is my Junebug, Juniper, Junie B. Jones, Junah, Juno, June-June. No matter what her nickname is she will always be my first baby love.

Party at the Plunge part 1

While those that attended Clyde and Sheldons B-Day party will enjoy looking at these pictures I have to warn those that did not come that it may evoke strong emotions of jealousy. The food was delicious thanks to Rodney and La Finestra catering. Kathryn Demke was a good sport about me harassing her taking lots of pictures. (I love seeing pregnant women in bathing suits.) We honestly had so much fun from doing flips off the diving board to the cutest couple award (of course Jill and Kenny won again) I can honestly say it was the most fun I have ever had at a childs B-day party and I would like to thank everyone who came and participated in our fun, Susie my co-planner, Ruth for making a good kid friendly playlist, Jon and Kristyn for bringing ice, Steve for food prep and all you do, Rodney for never ceasing to wow me with your meat dishes you prepare while you being a vegetarian and therefore never knowing what your food tastes like. You are a man of many talents. And last but not least Sheldon and Clyde for coming into this world on the same day so we could have a big joint birthday party. Heres to turning one!

Party at the Plunge part 2

If you did not already know Clyde and Sheldon Demke were born on the same day. The first time they met Susie and I discussed how we should have a joint birthday party when they turn one. I had this idea about renting out the plunge pool. I called Susie and she thought it was a good idea. The rest is history.
