3D Jaden

I enjoyed Saturday afternoon with my little friend Jaden. He called early Saturday morning to ask if I wanted to go see the new Shrek movie. We had a great time for once he didn't talk through out the movie. The 3D glasses were larger than Jaden.

Heard Museum-Phoenix

The weather was perfect today for a walk in downtown Phoenix. Our school is about a block from the Heard Museum. Today fifteen 5th & 6th graders and I spent the morning exploring the museum’s rich history. The museum is one of the world’s finest destinations for learning about American Indian arts and cultures.

Surprise!

Oh! My! Henry and Harrington gave me flowers and cards two days before Mother's day.
My Mother's Day weekend was very enjoyable and relaxing. I had two great days of doing whatever Pam wanted to do. I love the guys but sometimes I needs me some alone time. Saturday my friend Christy and I enjoyed lunch without picky children and later went to the movies.

Former Sunday School Student Dies

Sadden today to hear of the loss of a former Sunday School student Keith Bowen Jr. A very talented and bright student athlete. I remember him as a little boy with a beautiful smile and much love for his sisters and Mom">.

Main Street-Mesa, AZ

Look what I saw at a Mesa downtown intersection this morning. Just driving along and enjoying the nostalgia of Main Street while enroute 2010 Arizona Education Association Delegate Assembly. American Gothic -A 25-foot interpretation of Grant Wood's famous. This statue towers over downtown Mesa. The farmer and his wife are Snowbirds too! :) LOL

Spring Break

We had a great time vacationing on the east coast with the Pearsons and Mom. We loaded up the SUV and headed south to Colonial Williamsburg,Virginia. The next day we cruised through Hampton University and later spend the afternoon in Virginia Beach. We were able to get tickets from our Senator to tour the White House and the U.S. Capitol. We had to be in line for the White House tour at 7A.M. We spent more time going through security check points than the actual tour(about 15 minutes). Oh, Well, at least we can say we toured the White House during Obama's Presidential Term.

So glad I brought a new pair of sneaker before the trip, because I sure needed them with all the walking. Amelia keep us all in shape wtih her step counter. That girl was determined to get her 10,000 steps in each day and we were a step behind her. NOT REALLY! more like 10 steps at times. In education we know about "No Child Left Behind", my sister makes me want to petition for a new act, "NO FAMILY LEFT BEHIND". You'll notice I have photos of the family's backside and checkout who's most often miles ahead of the family :) We had the greatest time laughing and teasing one another.

Mom being semi-handicap due to recent elbow surgery kept up with us. She was the Keeper of Meal Time. My mom is like the Ever Ready Bunny she can go on forever until her phone rings. When she's hungry she'll say."Your Mama is getting hungry now, I needs me a piece of meat". Mom has jokes too. I am so thankful that Mom is in good health, full of energy, and loves to travel. We're so blessed to go on vacation now and Mom doesn't pay for anything. Prayfully Harrington and Eboni will do the same for their parents someday.

Family can make you wanna holler, cry, scream, and crack your side laughing at each other. It's a good thing when one can share and express those emotions with the ones they love and cherish dearly.

Family......Yesterday, Today, and Forever, SHALL Be

Happy Easter

Celebrating Resurrection Sunday with family in Lanham,Maryland.
Just like childhood Easter Sunday, my mother still insists we take pictures as soon as we return from church. I guess there are somethings that will NEVER change even if you're grown and gone. :)

Wrestle Mania XXVI

Glendale/Phoenix, Arizona - adorned with big sky, bright stars and breathtaking vistas - has long been known as the gateway to the Grand Canyon. And this year it will also serve as home to The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania XXVI. Unrivaled in spectacle, triumph and exhilaration, the most striking event in entertainment will draw in excess of 70,000 fans from all over the world to the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale on March 28, 2010.

Harrington and Henry attended one of the most anticipated event in the valley today. Harrington is a huge wrestling fan.He wastes no time Monday evening completing homework so as not to miss wrestling at 7 P.M. Harrington posted a note on the refrigerator to remind them of the date and time tickets would go on sale for this even. It's interesting how kids take initiative when its something they want.
Harrington was so excited this morning that he cleaned his bedroom, did his laundry, and walked B,J, all before noon. WOW! If only he could do this every week without me having a C2J meeting with this teenager of ours.
The guys had a blast although they were up high in the sky, :) Thank goodness for JumboTron.
