CAN YOU SEE ME NOW ??????







Sandy, Jr. got a Lakers basketball outfit from one of the members. Their son had outgrown it and junior knew that wearing this outfit was going to make him a better basketball player. At this age and height he couldn't even get the ball to the basket but he still tried. We lived right beside this school and playground in Colorado Springs, CO. Even though he hardly ever got the ball up to the basket, he stood out there all morning and "practiced" trying to get it up there.
I was taking this picture and he couldn't understand how he was going to fit in this little camera. He kept moving up and saying, " Can you see me now?" I told him.." stay where you are"... and I would back up. He'd move up..."Can you see me now?" Aaaagh.

HANDSOME HUSBAND PHOTO









Sandy had this photo taken to update his photo to put in the church. It was taken Summer 2009. AND what's more handsome than husbands holding babies. My favorite anyway. Sandy Sr. holding Sandy Jr.

EASTER SUNDAY - EASTER PLAY



I was in a play at our church on Easter Sunday. I played the part of Mary - Mother of James. Different characters sat out in the pews. When it was their turn, they got up and relayed a personal account of how their lives were changed by knowing Jesus. In my part, I remembered what the tomb looked like and the men standing guard. I described what a shock it was to arrive and find that Jesus was not to be found. Was he stolen? Did someone take him? Then my final line of the play was... The guard told me the most wonderful news. He's not here... HE HAS RISEN. Then we sang the hymn "He Arose". It was a great play, on a great day for a great savior. The photo is a picture of the costumes we wore to look like the characters in Bible times.

SANDY JR. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM Dec 2009







Sandy Jr. was in a Christmas Program at Berryton Elementary here in Topeka, KS.
He sang Christmas carols with his class on the bleachers ( 1st photo top row in middle)
Last photo he played the triangle along with some of his classmates up on stage. His school goes up to the 6th grade. All the grades sang. His grade, the 2nd graders did a great job. It was very cute and entertaining.

BEAUTIFUL EASTER DAY !!!!

Happy Easter to all my family and friends. I hope everyone had a great day like we did.
Since Easter fell on Sunday, not alot of time to make Easter Eggs. I was hoping to try to do that sometime this week so Sandy, Jr. gets some experience making some colored Easter eggs.
Oh well, we can always shoot for next year.
