I went out to play catch with the boys and had to laugh. If Norman can only see this puppy running laps around the old dog I know he would be laughing. Doc has no nose so if he doesn't follow it with sight Sully can get the toy, but if it just on speed Sully has no chance.
Sully just gave up near the end and would wait for Doc to bring it back.
Then take it from him. Smart dog Sully. Good job Doc. How about some water for both of you. Time to go in.
Molly and I went to Autumn's awards program this morning. Once again Autumn is on the honor roll. Way to go! All year on the honor roll. We don't have the report cards yet since they have to go to school till Tue. Today was supposed to be the last day but we have a few make up weather days this year. I really need to sit closer since my zoom isn't great.
Autumn has been trying to get Molly to roll like the rest of us.
See Molly like this. (Yes she is sun burnt! Tue was field day and I sent her with sun tan lotion with instructions to apply often. "I did" Autumn says.)
All I can say is ouch. Autumn I thought you didn't like pink anymore?
So yes I know it's not the 1st , I have to work the 1st so I moved the weigh in up a day. Yes I'm actually putting pictures of me on the blog too. If you can't tell I cut my hair again also. Mom don't the say mimicking is the strongest form of flattery? And we say we don't want top be our mothers. Ha Ha!
I have also decided that I need to set my gaols slightly lower. I made it under 190 my goal for last month but not much further. I'm 186. I know that's 5 lbs and I should be happy. The problem is then I see pictures like this with my second chin. Ya!
We are going to join the YMCA maybe that will help me get another boost to this weight lose thing. I am in a 16W shorts and my new jeans are falling off. How about this my goal for next month is to lose 1lb. I think I can do that one. By the way do you see this cute baby I'm holding. 
She is getting more hair but still needs a sun hat out side. Plus it is really cute.
After a weekend like that I have no interest in going anywhere! Molly and Autumn got out some of Molly's X-mas presents that she was really too small for but she likes them now.
Remember Autumn you need to share Molly's toy with Molly.
There it goes Molly.
Oh no the train jumped the track. Now she is happy I can chew on it!
When we got home from Relay for life Autumn sees that Rally By the Rails is this weekend (I knew, I was trying to avoid it, TIRED). Autumn says mom the parade, thank you Papa Dick, she heard the drums inside the house! So we rushed down to the main street and watched the end of the parade and got too much candy like usual. We walk in the door from the parade and Autumn says I want to go to the rides. I was able to hold her off for about 3 hrs then guess where we went, the rides. Now has Autumn ever told you she doesn't like roller coasters?
And has she ever told you she is afraid of heights? (Dead center orange basket with a school friend.)
Outside orange one still.
We ran from ride to ride while Molly and I watched. I got her to take a break long enough for a corn dog then off we went again.
To this!!! Yes that is our non roller coaster afraid of heights little girl being sucked to the edge of a metal basket with all the High School kids. She is the pink shirt on the left. Hard picture to get.
Molly enjoyed the festival also. I was so jealous of the nap. Did I mention I was TIRED? Why is it that everything has to happen the same weekend. Oh ya, this was also the weekend that Pete and Don had to go teach in Cleveland at the OTOA conference. Ya! They had a great time and met a lot of important people. I'm glad they went but back to everything in one weekend. So mom when does the world stop flying by at mock speed?
The girls and I went to the Relay for Life in Tiffen this weekend. Nicki, my friend/partner at work invited us to be part of her church's team. They had balloons you could purchase and release at the opening ceremony. The balloons represented people you know with cancer surviving or passed.
Then all the present take the 1st lap. Not that you can see her in this picture but Mary Lou, Nicki's mother is in that group. She is a breast cancer survivor! Way to go!
Sorry it's dark, long night. Here is a better picture of Mary Lou and most of her girls. Starting at the left Mary Lou, Jenny pushing her daughter Emily, and Nicki. Angie and her daughter were not able to make it. Iva, Nicki's daughter, Brice, Jenny's son, and Autumn are some were. I'm glad we had bright orange shirts.
The also had luminaries that you could purchase for cancer survivors and those who lost the battle. The ceremony was very touching after a few people talked about their battles with cancer they read ever name survivors first. When the name was called you lite their candle. They went all the way around the track.
The next morning half the candles were still going.
That's more then I can say for the girls. They did really well honestly. It was a long night.
Colby gave me the best kid hat and mitten book for crochet that I have ever seen. This is the acorn. Molly is such a cute nut. What size is Jacobs head? Stay tuned for many other hats to come, now if Molly only liked hats. She will have to learn. Thanks again.
Molly's new found love is daddy flying her. Daddy loves it too. We introduced Molly to grass the other day it was great she didn't mind it one bit. She really liked the flickering of the leaves over head. She watches that tree from inside the house all the time. She seemed to be in aw of being closer to it. then daddy flow her through the branches and she giggled. Now if the blog would behave and let me put the great pictures we got on the computer I wouldn't be pounding my head against the wall. I guess frustration is what you get for being free. I would pay for the blog if it would stop fighting with me. Oh well. Not being able to put all the good pictures on the blog gives me a reason to keep a photo album too.
Autumn's Award Ceremony was on the 14 th. Pete worked part of my shift so that I could go and help had out awards. The problem with that was who takes pictures? I got it, hand the camera to a mom on the front row. Take lots of pictures please, what ever you want. Well as the ceremony is winding down she says I not sure I'm taking any pictures with this or not. Oh well I was impressed that I remembered the camera. Didn't I get a great group shot ya right.
The girls went to the Zoo for Mother's Day. It was a sunny day to bad everyone else thought of the Zoo also. It was Packed!
The other big draw is the new polar bear cubs just put on display. The Toledo Zoo has 3 cubs in total.
We got to watch the seals while waiting in line, back and forth what fun.
They are keeping the mothers apart right now. We got to see the boy. The twin girls were out in the AM.
He was so cute and mom seemed so loving for such a large animal. Did you know that polar bears are 1 lb when born since mom is only pregnant 1 month. Wow! Jealous?
There was a baby giraffe also. The big giraffes would stick their heads over to see him.
Can you find the 2 wolfs?
The Zoo has a lot of bronze status all over it is hard to tell what is real sometimes.
Isn't she beautiful.
See what I said about the status.
The bird house, watch your head. Ha Ha Ha
Molly did so great the whole time. She didn't even complain about the stroller. She was having fun people watching.
So Autumn you don't have the biggest feet on the face of the earth.
It is really funny watching a turtle try and climb up on a rock. The funny part was 2 seconds later the turtle fell off backwards into the water. He tried.
Something caught Molly's eye.
Mom's favorite we had to go see the penguins.
Look who has look out duty this shift. How cute.
We had a great time only thing that would have made it better was if dad would have played hook from work and joined us. Next time we will time it so dad can go too.
I know that shots are important but why do these little bitty things have to get 4 shot at a time. I also know she will not remember any of them the next day but I remember the scream. Just like I will always remember Autumn's screams. Now the good stuff:
She is beautiful that is for sure. To bad she doesn't know it.
