The Last Three Weeks

It has been three weeks since my last post. In that time a lot has happened. Jay Jay had his last week of school which included his first and last Spring Choir Concert.

"It's Alright"

With Mrs Worden.

The concert was excellent! This is a very talented group. The boys sang "It's Alright" accompanied by Mr. Austin. It was awesome. Pierce Tindall was the lead. At the start of the concert they recognized all the seniors with their parents so we had a brief appearance on stage.

Next up was the commencement on Thursday evening at the Birch Run Expo Center. This was a very exciting day. The south side of the expo center was nearly filled to capacity. Unfortunately we did not get any pictures of Michelle and I with Jay Jay at the end.

Michelle and her boys.

Jay Jay and I.

Grandma and Grandpa.

Really wish dad could of been here to see this. Mom did not come out, would have been to much walking for her and hard to seat her at the center.

After this it was all about preparation for the graduation party. It was non stop with painting and cleaning. We put new mulch in the landscape and really cleaned up the yard. The entire first floor of the house was painted as well as the garage. The party was great with perfect weather. The food was excellent and everyone had a great time. We did not even think to get any pictures of the party. The day after we just crashed. After working so hard we just rested and slept in. Michelle and I ended up taking Monday off of work to finish clean up and to start getting the house back in order. There is still work to do.

Then this past Wednesday was Brendan's 4th Grade Graduation. He was very excited. They had a potluck picnic after that was very nice.

Brendan was recognized for working with Autistic classmates. He does really well with other kids. He has a really big heart.

Now we hope that things calm down so we can get back to normal. The kittens have really grown and just full of energy.

Luna is huge!

So that gets us close to where we are now. There will be more later when I have a chance to get some photos and post again.

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day. Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up. I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up. We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm. Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest. We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle. A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area. Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace. We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In. However, after arriving the place was packed. So we went to B.C. Pizza again. After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

Mother's Day Part II

On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day at Church followed by a buffet at the Whistle Stop in Clio. It was a very good meal and fun for all. The Bauer's The Garcia's The Cody's minus Tyler Then we celebrated at our house with Michelle's family in the evening with another big feast. Help Yourselves! A good time was had by all and one of the best Mother's Day celebrations yet. Happy Mother's Day, we love you all!

Happy Labor Day!

So we had another busy week leading up to Labor Day Weekend. On Wednesday we had Brendan's open house for 4th Grade. We did some shopping after and I sold my Giant OCR. Giant OCR Composite 3 I bought this bike in 2005. I put some good miles on it over the years. For about 6 years it had been in the basement on the trainer. I had rebuilt it this summer and took it out a couple of times. It just seemed to big now. I guess I am a little older and less flexible. I decided to put it up for sale as it just did not fit any longer. I found a nice young man that was looking for a road bike and he really liked it. It is going to a good home and will be out on the road where it belongs. The funds from this sale went toward the purchase of a front wheel to go on the Farley and will fit the Bluto. That wheel should be in some time this week. On Saturday morning we did not have Brendan. He stayed at mom's with ...
