These girls love to play on the slip and slide.  What's with the tongue? 

More pictures of saying goodbye to Johann

Johann was A.J. soccer partner at the house.  He said Johann was his lucky charm. A. J. was very sad when he left.

Saying Goodbye to Johann

<>

Bill had a meeting so he isn't in the picture.  Johann is in the very back.

Bill's new look

Bill said all he needs is the curly locks on the side and he could pass for someone who is Jewish. He will shave this off after Trek is over. I love beards so it will be a sad for me. He has so many different colors in his beard. Red, mostly white.

Frustrated

I just put a lot of pictures on the blog and I posted it before I wrote things on the pictures. I can't figure out how to go back and add words to the post!!! sometimes I hate my ignorance to the computer. I'm afraid if I do something I will loose everything that I have put on the blog. so enjoy the pictures without explanation untill I can figure out how to do it.

Some Wedding Pictures

These are some pictures of the wedding. Michael and Della are dancing here. This is at their reception.

This is Michael's best man Ron Coston. He is a fabulous person and a great friend to Michael
This is one of my favorite pictures of Della before she got married.

All three of my children. Melanie isn't dressed up because they got their late. This is at the reception.

Michael is a very good dancer. He knows I love the song about fireflies and he played it for me and we danced together.

Julia was so excited, she caught the flowers that Della threw for the single women.

This is Della and her mother Delores. Delores always has her tongue like this when she is with Della. Della does this too. I love this picture of them.

This is the Harris crew. Again they aren't dressed up because they almost didn't make it to the ceremony. This is at the church they got married at.

Michael is so happy. He has chosen the right person for him.

A little bit after they got married. This is the stage.

This is Michaels previous pastor from his church. He flew from Washington State to marry them.

Michael treats Della so wonderfully. He is so happy and that makes me happy.

Still trying to figure out this blog thing

Enjoying the Summer

Johann sleeping and Anthony tried to wake him up.

The bell rings at school and all the kids run for the doors. A big weight is lifted off my shoulders and I smile a big smile and I run for the door and to my car and I want to scream it feels so good. I love teaching and I love the summers more. I have the best job that anyone could have. But then a few days after I am settling in at home and not worrying about waking up at 5:30 a.m. my back goes out. I have spent the last 4 weeks trying to be careful and exercising my muscles in my back to get them strong again. It's now feeling pretty good and then Bill starts to get sick. His is a little more serious in that we spent from 12:00 a.m. until 5:00 a.m. in the emergency room. They took blood and gave him liquids. Something is wrong with his liver and he has hepatitus. We go to the family Dr. on Thursday to get more test and we'll go from there.

There has been fun too however. I think fun is making our yard look nice. I sweat and get really dirty and stinky but I love it. Our garden is doing great and most of the weeds are gone. I just printed off some pictures of Michael and Della's wedding. I will try and remember how to post them and put some of them on the blog. I will also just put some random pictures. Not all will be from the wedding.

Johann

Johann and I were at Multonoma Falls when this picture was taken. It was cold for me.

Johann and his friend were playing a game with a ping pong ball and cups with water in them. Johann was winning. The pictures are random I don't know how to arrange them yet.

Bill tieing knots to get reading for repelling.

Joahnn looks really nervous here. He is getting ready to repel

Now he looks pretty happy, he is almost down .

Johann said he loved repelling.

Here is the game again out of order. sorry It was late at night and they had the back light on.

Back at Multonoma Falls on the stairs

Johann looking over the edge of the mountain. A little scared?

Johann's friend.

Joahnn trying to get over the edge. Will he make it?

Great picture of Johann and his friend. Johan is on the left.

I think I might even have this picture somewhere. We are in Oregon and he is checking out his photo's that he has done.

Whoops.

Repelling.

Ping pong

Bill and Johann at Multonoma Falls again.

Johann is great at taking beautiful pictures. This is of the river coming down from the vista house in Oregon .
