The Lundy 5

today we had to say goodbye to our dog sydney. :( we'll miss her! she was a part of the family for 11 years. a big, smelly, dirty, rotten, annoying part, but a part nonetheless.

Allen and Doug Jackson represented Extreme Grace in the kayaking competition at the Adventure Summit at Wright State. The kids and I had a blast watching and cheering them on!

i just realized the pics on my make-it-mine photo purse were from easter, and it's almost easter again, so i had to change them! i cropped some ploppers down to 5x7 and now have a new purse, kinda! new pics at least! (yes, there's an 8x10 size too, i just never can fill even my small one!) i love being able to show pics of my kids without opening my purse! AND telling people what i do for a living. well trying to tell them, they usually don't get it, but they always think it's really neat. :) now let's just see if i can update my pics before next february!! here are the original pagess i cropped down to fit my 5x7 purse! and i'll still do the full 12x12 sized pages for my album too!

it's forgotten photo friday on my friend liz mccoy's blog , so i thought i'd play along. my (rotten) cousin michelle posted this old photo of us. check out the big hair, boy were we stylin'!!! :) cool chicks with big hair in our lettermen jackets. *blush*

today is josh's birthday! he's the big 9! lizzy was sad that her month and a half of being the oldest was over. (they still don't understand that she's always older, but then it *is* confusing being that close in age!) but josh was very excited and ready to celebrate. we took cookies into his class, then had a fun party here. the trick candles got him again! (see the pic!) he was very surprised when he saw his new skateboard. it's sic! (really, it says so right on it). :)

we had a heckuva windstorm here (yet again, seems to happen often). check out the branch beside the pine tree, it's sticking into the ground. we're just glad it wasn't the roof (or a kid)! lots of branches were lost, but no worries, we have plenty where those came from. :) but i loved what the kids did with some of the branches. they made a great teepee! lundys are good at taking what life throws at them and saying thanks, this is fun! :)
