Graduation Day

This week Hannah graduated from Perrysburg JHS. I can not believe she will be going to the big high school next year. Here she is at her reception with her friends, Jessica, Mikeala, Grace and Jake. They all look so grown up.

Happy Birthday to Hannah

It is hard to believe that Hannah is already 14 and will be starting high school next year. She spent her 14th birthday a Cedar Point yesterday with her orchestra class. They had a competition and then spent the day in the park. It sounds like fun but, Hannah had to spend the day in a wheel chair. She fractured her fibula about 1 1/2 weeks ago on our trampoline. She was bummed but, a trooper even in the rain.

Crystal Bowersox comes home to Toledo

American Idol finalist and Toledo native came home today for her home town visit. She performed all over Northwest Ohio. Jamey was able to get Emma some really good seats for the sold out Mudhen's game where she sang the National Anthem. Thanks to Papa who was her chaperon for the night. She (Emma) is so spoiled!

Carrie Underwood Concert

Last night Emma and Hannah went to see Carrie Underwood at the Toledo's Huntington Center. The tickets were Emma's birthday present from mom and dad. We couldn't decide who would go so we worked it out for the girls to go together. When they got there, they were told that the seats on the the tickets we purchased from Ticketmaster did not exist. They were given other seats but, Jamey purposefully picked these seats on the isle so Emma could see. We are pretty sure that the seat attendant messed up. Other than Emma's view, they had a blast.

Track Season

This spring Hannah has been putting on her spikes for the second year in a row to run for Perrysburg Jr. High. She is running both the 100 & 200 m hurdles. She is generally in the middle of the pack in the 100m but, her times in the 200m continue to improve. She has finished in the top 3 all but one meet this season. In the last two weeks has been recording the top times for Perrysburg. Her long legs are a great asset and we can't wait until she "runs harder". She always seems to be jogging along the track. It's a lot of fun to watch her. I only wish her events were closer together. The first meet we waited 2 1/2 hrs between races.

Ripley's Aquarium Then and Now

While in Mrytle Beach on Saturday we recreated a photo from one of the last times we where at Ripley's Aquarium. What a difference a few years make (2003 - 2010)
