Bryce's 2nd Birthday

Hi all, I just wanted to post something quick to let you know that I will be having a small get together for Bryce's 2nd birthday! I realize its quite the trip for everyone, but I just wanted to let you know we would love to see you there! It is Feb 13th from 10am-noon! Happy Birthday to Bryce!

Congratulations - Jonna

Congratulations go out to Jonna as she accepted a position at Sandy Creek School. This new little Comet must have known at Nana's party or was dressing in school colors for good luck. Was it her softball experience that helped her land the job or all those friends we know from this area which even includes some good ole north side people??? Whatever it was we are grateful and they are lucky to have such a wonderful person to add to their staff!!! Good luck Jonna.

January Dates to Note

The first up in 2010 for dates to note are:

January 3rd - Nana turns 99

January 8th - Gabrielle celebrates a birthday as Mrs. "Saint" but we all know her catch is far from a SAINT!!!

January 23rd - Jon and Jenny will celebrate their anniversary.

Leave a note or something to say I recognize your special day!!!

Nana's B'day Present

So, I was talking to Nana this morning and she was telling me the Singing Birthday Bear that we got her was the best present she ever got. She can now have the bear sing her Happy Birthday each and every day. The candles light up and he is nice and soft. She loves him and her fur lined shoes from Mom. She didn't mention anything else. I thought you guys out there in Blog Land might want to know.

Big Papa Sworn In

It is official now, another 2 years for our favorite Legislator who was sworn in this evening. I wonder if Dad knows that my family totals 8 votes (Jay, Jo Ann, Jayson, Amy, Jess, Becky, Jill & Anthony).... your welcome Dad. Mom and I were in attendance to what proved to be an exciting evening of standing room only. No, they weren't there to see Dad if they were he would have won by more than 8 votes. The Pilot program for wind on Galloo Island was on the table tonight and our Dad, Mr. Rebel appeared to be in the minority, go figure!!! However, after everyone said their peace which took until 9 pm, thank goodness American Idol wasn't on, I can see why Dad was leaning that way. To put it simply the town, school, village overwhelmingly want it. Those that would rather keep everything the same or are worried at a view 6 to 8 miles away are against it. I really don't know how this area ever accepted electricity when it was invented. I remember those that didn't want Ft. Drum or the prisons. Should be an interesting term for him especially after committee assignments come out!!! Good luck Dad!

Nana celebrates 99 years

You are never too old to party and that we did!!! We had brunch for Nana today on her real birthday, January 3rd. I think she had a great time and was real good. Good enough to recognize Jeff and I as her favorites while allowing Jean to do some heavy duty kissing up. Jon and Jan, well they were busy harassing each other trying to claw their way to the top of the favorite list. Even after all these years they haven't figured out that working together as a team would get them further like Jeff and I who teamed up to get out of town with Grandpa and Grandma so our hair would grow back!!! Sorry boys!!! The pictures speak for themselves. I especially like the one of Jeremyah who is kissing Nana a mere 33 times older than he!!! The lesson I learned today is to be good to your family as you might need them to care for you until you out live them!!! Happy Birthday Nana!!! Thanks to everyone for coming and helping out.
