Happy Mothers Day -2008

We headed to the beach for some kite flying and a picnic.

Ernie Badger Visits

Trying to get a photo of the 4 Badger grandchildren for my mom's birthday was harder than it seemed.

Locks For Love - Hannah Jane and Caroline

The deal was, once Caroline's play was over - the long locks were going away.
The girls had been growing their hair for almost 2 years. The last time it was cut was just before John was born! They made the plunge and cut it. Caroline had 11 1/2 inches cut and Hannah had 11 inches. They were brave and ready! We sent off the hair in honor and memory of Aunt Rosanne.

The Princess and the Pea - Caroline -

The 3rd and 4th grades put on a play - The Princess and the Pea. Caroline was a Grand Lady in Waiting.
We dolled her hair up in curlers - Chris is never letting her out of the house again!!
She did wonderful. The play was great and all the kids had a great time. John loved it, although
we called for "Ninny" every time she left the stage. Each time the lights went out for a new scene, he yelled "more".

Boston -4/6

My good friend Pam traveled all the way from Oregon. We spent the weekend in Boston, joined by my friend Sue. We had a nice girls night, stayed in a hotel and slept in. ( I don't need much these days!) Chris and the kids came to pick me up on Sunday and we spent the rest of the day in Boston. We visited the Constitution museum (that's the boat not the paper) and checked out the sights. John and the girls joined the colonists for a pint and we hung out with Ben Franklin.

Fairy Tale Ball

Hannah Jane's 2nd grade had the Fairy tale ball. Everyone dresses up like a Fairy Tale character and they play games, sing songs and eat dessert. John did not want to wear a cape and did not like my witch costume. Hannah ran around with her friends the whole time, we did not have much time for photos. she is with her friend Joa in one of the shots.
