April 2012 Maddie

Doesn't she look innocent?
She didn't know I wouldn't want her playing in the mud.

She must have had a grand time!
Her nose was covered! Her feet were coated in mud...

I guess it felt funny...
in the nether regions....

So, am I in trouble???

I don't know....
Let's follow the mud trail...

Ah Ha!
The icky mud puddle under the air conditioner!!! A puppy play house!!!

It WAS fun....
...and she didn't fight too much when I hosed her down...

Dream House
We like to drive down streets we haven't been on before. On this particular road we found this house for sale. Can we have it please???
2011 Christmas

Santa was here!
Mary is trying to decide what to pick up first!

A little present for Bill.

One sock?!
Uh oh...

Annabell is perplexed.

A Ninja for Mom!
The the guy-in-black-jumping-all-around kind, the we-can-make-our-own-smoothie kind.

Empty storage boxes for stuff.
with cool city scapes on them!

Leaf blower!
Bill says it sucks too, like a vacuum, not like it's lame....

See? He likes it!

Hi Annabell!

Tootsie gave me a cool tray!
You can put pictures in it so you can see what the food is SUPPOSED to look like... lol

He really likes the leaf blower.
He's reading the box to see if there's a secret surprise inside.

Chloe doesn't really know what's going on.
Poor kitty.

Old man gift.
Nose hair trimmer.

Vampire Diaries!
Season 2


Zip Dry Glue!
Love this glue for paper crafts!

Hi Oreo!
He's hunting some ribbon to pounce on.

Bubble wrap basketball.
Shoots! Scores! Hit Mary with it.

Chex Mix from Grandma Pat!
Yum.

Dogs like Chex Mix, too.
but we don't share much.

Soft penguin slippers for Mary
The dogs were trying to convince her that she should give the slippers to them.

The Mentalist!
Season 1

A green pig pillow
We like Angry Birds. Mary got me a red Angry Bird coffee mug.

Mini Aquarium!
Soon to be home to a Beta Fish.

There's some Ribbon!
Mission accomplished.

Crocheted Wristies from Mom
and she never caught me working on them!

She likes 'em!

Any more food gifts coming, Bill?


The Big one of 2011
Wonder what it is?

A keyboard!
The music kind, not the computer kind...

Yay!
Piano lessons are in Mary's future now that she has something to practice on. Sorry you didn't get the Baby Grand you wanted!

The stand to hold the keyboard.

The mess.

Bill's ready to go back to bed.

The wrapping of the dog.

Oh, the humiliation...
"I know I'll get in trouble if I shred this...."

More of the mess.

Let's check this out.

Ummm... Mary....

Ummm... it's backwards...

There ya go! Much better.


Dinner with the White's!
Pat and Tootsie came over and shared our Christmas dinner with us.

Pat wouldn't share his beer with Annabell.
Good boy.

St Simon

The pier at the village at St. Simon's Island
After walking through the shops in the village we stopped and sat near the water for a while. Mary was not happy about the impromptu photo session.

Beautiful Oak Trees
From the pier you can see how big those oak trees are!

A great place for a picnic.
It's so inviting, but I would have liked to get a picture of the trees without the tables and trash cans.

My beautiful girl!

The trunk of the oak. Awesome!

The lighthouse at St. Simon's.
We didn't go over to the lighthouse this trip, but I still had to get a picture of it. When we were here several years ago, we climbed to the top and I got some great shots.

The village.
We wandered through the shops along this street that leads down to the pier.

I love these cute little shops!
There are some similar at Tybee.

The stairwell at the hotel.
I just thought it was a cool shot.

Awesome history to this place!
There is a whole wall of newspaper articles and photos of the hotel in the lobby. I didn't get pictures of that, though.

The view from our room.
Love it!

I could spend every weekend here!
Well, if it was free...

The lobby entrance to the hotel.
Rather plain on this side. They saved the spectacular views for the rest of the hotel!

More rooms at the hotel.
There are so many rooms around this place! We were so fortunate to get a beach side room!

Awesome!
This picture turned out so good! Considering I couldn't see it on the digital screen when I shot it. lol

PT under the spanish moss.
We drove around the island and stopped at a historical site. We weren't prepared for a long walk around the fort, so we passed on it this time. I know we'll be back, so we'll keep it on our list of things to do.

Bill and Mary
Some pictures of our walk on the beach one evening.

Mary was fascinated with the dead jelly fish. ick.

A cool view of The King and Prince Resort.

Ick. but kind of cool.

Speared jelly fish!
There's just no tellin' what will make a 13 year old smile.

Night swimming!
The ocean water was still very cold, but Bill and Mary braved the pool after dark when no one else was swimming!

Cool!

Of course, after we tried on all the hats we see the sign that says, 'Don't play with hats. No Pictures.' Oops.

New Fridge
Oreo give the new fridge a comfort test. I think he likes it.

Man Cave
I don't know what Bill is going to do in this new, HUGE garage, but I'm sure he'll think of something!

Big Oak
Tracy and Mary make friends with the big oak in the front yard. Mary dreams of climbing it...dream on, kid.

Snow!
The first accumulation of snow in the Savannah/Rincon area since 1989!

Not a lot...
but picture perfect.

It didn't last long
and Mary hoped for more.

Enough for me, though.
Didn't have to drive in it; shovel it; or scrape it. Perfect.

Pretty, huh?

Leaf removal
Well, at least it's leaf piling! Bill has been busy cleaning up the yard. He's having way too much fun with that rake.

Looking good!
He's doing a great job, though! The yard is looking good! I think the leaves were there so long it killed off a lot of the grass. Hopefully, it will start filling in.

Swing!
Mary LOVES this! It sits on the side of the yard under a huge, beautiful oak tree. After working a bit with Dad in the yard, she grabbed her book and enjoyed the afternoon there on the swing.

Rusty's holiday snack
A little, tiny, green snack for Rusty was entertainment for all as he spent 20 minutes trying to decide if he should eat it or hide it.

hmmmm....
maybe he'll hide it on the couch in all Mary's stuff...

maybe by the yarn basket...

Maybe he'll just hang on to it...

Decorating the back porch
Mary and Tracy spent the afternoon decorating the back porch with spider webs and vermin.

Helpers
Two of the girls that live on our street came by to see if they could help. They always want to hang out with the 'big'

Make-up time!
As darkness fell, the girls began their transformation into Vampires...in the bathroom, with make-up.

Fine!
That's what Tracy said whenever I had the camera out and I made her submit to my picture-taking-obsession.

Mary just ignored me.
Really well, I might add.

Bill would not be out-done!
He put a lot of time and careful consideration into his costume.

Rusty did his part as well.
He pulled down as much of the spider web as he could before he was whisked into the house.

Vampires!
After much preparation they were ready and were whisked off by Tracy's mom to go terrorize another neighborhood!

Fang trouble
Mary's fangs were a problem. The stuff that came with them to adhere them to her teeth didn't work, so, mom to the rescu

Tracy
I love this picture!

Tybee Island Weekend

At the Pool
The girls preferred the pool at the hotel next to the rough waves and the broken shells of the ocean.

Out to the Beach
Next to the pool there is a patio and the way out to the beach. The hotel is pretty far away from the pier and the bars and restaurants, so it was nicely secluded.

View from the hotel.
An area behind the hotel with chairs and umbrellas, perfect for relaxing and taking great pictures!

Off to the water!
After playing in the pool awhile, the girls decided to brave the waves! They couldn't go too far into the water since Bill wasn't with them, but I was close by keeping an eye on them. The waves weren't cooperating and they didn't stay in there as long as I thought they would. They ended up wanting to go back to the pool.

A windy day...
The wind was pretty strong sending the boogie boards flying like kites! Good thing they were attached to the girl's wrists!

Off with the shoes!
They tried wearing their water shoes so they wouldn't be stepping on the broken shells, but they kept coming off with the waves.

A B & B and some cottages
To the right of the hotel is a cute bed and breakfast and some residences.

Sneaking with the camera.
Even though the girls were warned ahead of time about the camera, I still tried to sneak some shots of them unaware. Didn't really work for long...

They did act silly for me, though!

Notice the tongue.
Trademark reaction: the sticking out of tongues. They are frequent when the camera is around.

Tracy fish!

Egyptian dance...
with a noodle.

Self explanatory...

See the tongue?

Still there....

Dinner at Spanky's!
Had a nice (drunk) lady take our picture for us. Turned out good! She wasn't shaking at all!

Ready for bed...

All right, already, Mom!

Sunrise Sunday morning
I got up before the sun and headed to the beach looking forward to getting some pictures of the sun rising over the Atlantic. I was not disappointed. There were other early risers there to greet the day, too!

The view of the hotel...
Our room was on the 3rd floor, not the end rooms there with the balcony, but just to the left. We could see the pool and the ocean from the walk way outside the room. It was a nice room!

The Tybee pirate
After I got the girls to get moving, just in time to check out, we headed down the road to the shops near the pier. Of course, I had to get pictures of the girls with the pirate!

Wandering through the shops
We browsed through the shops looking at odds and ends here and there.

Sweet Shop
We stopped in this shop to get ice cream, but ended up leaving and getting an ice cream cone at the pier.

I loved the sign...
the girls posed under protest....

Murals on the side of the pier...

Middle School!

6th Grade Orientation
Mary and Tracy arrived for orientation only to be tortured by me and my camera!!

the walk
I would have gotten away with this picture of the girls walking in front of me, but the flash gave me away. They weren't too happy! lol

First ones to arrive
We were a little early, so I had the chance to take this picture with only the teachers in the room. The girls weren't humiliated in front of any other students.
Hunting Island, SC

Just arrived...
The picnic tables are right near the parking, so it was easy to haul the stuff over to have our lunch.

This close to the Beach!
And only a short walk out to the shore.

Amid the green stands this bare tree.
2009-07-25
It was so nice to see trees lining the shore instead of hotels!

It looks like they are pretty far out there,
but they're not really. I'm right at the waters edge, snapping away, not wanting to get the camera wet.

Smokey and Rusty
We named the 'outside' cat Smokey after he decided he was our cat. He stays outside and is learning to not rush the door when it opens. He's the only cat so far tolerant of Rusty.

Just a little nibble.
Of course, Rusty thinks when the cat wags his tail it's game time!

Isn't he just too cute????

Rusty is a climber!
I don't know what the cat thinks of that, but that pup is completely on the cat!!!

After this the cat smacked the pup.
Guess he had enough.

New Puppy!
Mary is just overjoyed with the new addition to the house!

Kisses for Rusty
He's so tiny!

Getting to know Bill
The best way to get to know the puppy is down on the floor!

I think they're both having fun!

Cuddling with shoes.
He slept here on and off all day!
Dayna!

Mary and Tracy with sparklers!
They sure aren't like they were when we were kids! But they had fun anyway!

These two stayed up ALL night Friday...
and were pretty much zombies by this time.....

Setting up the tent
We got to the campground around 2 on Friday and got right to setting up the tent. Well, Bill and Mary did. I supervised...

Our lake view
We had a beautiful view of the lake through the trees, but weren't able to get down to the shore due to the low level of the lake and the erosion near the edge.

Still workin' on the tent...
She does get it figured out, though...

Can't tell it's REALLY HOT, huh?
or really humid. Really REALLY humid!

The view from the path down to the lake.

Mary's pooped from poppin' up the tent.

The beach area didn't look great...
but we sure did cool off there pretty good!

When the boats went by
they made some really nice waves for us in the swimming area!



This is Bill...
after he dropped my camera and I scolded him...


Sunset Friday
The sun went down and it didn't get much cooler!

The game didn't last long Friday..
we were hot and tired.


Friday night the fire wouldn't cooperate
but ya don't see any kindling there, do ya?

We started roasting dogs over the fire
but since it was taking too long, we'd finish it on the new camp stove. Camp stove wouldn't work. Hmmm...

The fire was great for marshmellows, though!


Saturday morning...
Mary finally fell asleep some time during the night...we didn't get much sleep.

Fishing!
They started out a bit late and didn't bring any fish back to camp, but Mary caught a little one that got away...sounds a bit fishy to me....

Last Day of 5th Grade

Ms. Sliker's group...
...nope...no academics in the gifted class today!

That's okay, though...
looks like they were having fun!

We didn't know that no one else was wearing a uniform today...

Mary and Mr. Proto
The best 5th grade teacher Mary ever had!

Ms. Pevey; another great 5th grade teacher!

And Mr. Cooper; the other half of the
infamous Proto/Cooper comedic team. Couldn't have asked for a better team of teachers to tease Mary all year long! She enjoyed every minute of it!

We interrupted Ms. Sliker's lunch for this shot.
She even had to quit chewing for it! Such a sport!
Beach Day in Pooler

In line for lunch
I caught up with Mary in line with Ms. Johnson, the vice-principle and her friend Deanna, waiting for lunch.

More smiles for the camera
Some of the other kids wanted in on the photo shoot, so I got them in line, too!

Their spot on the 'beach'!
Mary's group decided that beach day wouldn't be right if they didn't spend it in the sand, so here's where they staked out their spot with the umbrella. The principal thought they had the right idea with the umbrella!

Lunch at the top
One group of kids took over the playground equipment. They had their luch on top and underneath where there was a bit of shade.

Shade along the fence
There was a couple of groups along the fence stealing every bit of shade they could find.

They all seemed to enjoy lunch!
They even got soda! All the kids were very jazzed about that.

Breanna was being silly.

Breanna and Tracy hammin' it up.

You're too funny, Breanna.

Tracy's mom joined them in their spot, too!
Don't know what Mary's thinkin' about here.

Tracy got a picture of me!
I didn't realize Tracy got me! I was making the rounds with the trash bag, helping with the litter explosion. I figured the less on the ground, the less the kids would have to grumble about picking up later. (I know, they shouldn't have thrown it down in the first place, but we won't go there.)

Awards time!
It was quite a bit cooler in the gym and everyone sat down and enjoyed it! Deanna, Mary and Tracy together in their class.

Breanna with her class waiting for the awards.

Mary's class was last to receive their awards.
But Mary's first in line in her class!

Ms. Shiver is one of Mary's favorite teachers!
Mary was so happy to get her awards! High Honor Roll with Distinction, Accelerated Reader award, and many more!

Flip Flops to school!
A rare treat for school! She got to wear her flip flops for beach day!
Splash In The Boro

Splash In the Boro.jpg
Splash In the Boro.jpg 2009-05-31

Sunscreen anyone??

Nice picture.
Posing nicely. They received instructions to not hide from the camera and they performed well...most of the day.

The Lazy River
Mary loved this! Just floating around, cooling off. Tracy wanted to run around all day long, but they did spend a lot of time here.

Don't know what this face is about.

That's better!

Off they go!

Cool, huh?

Nice day for a float!

Hang on!
The water was trying to pull the girls away while they waited for Bill to get a tube and join them.

Bill joins the ride down the river.

Cool!

This is a cool place for the kids to play!
The two girls played here a while but they got bored soon. Too many little kids.

I loved watching the big bucket spill!

Don't quite know the purpose of this pool...
except to get cool.

And this was cool!
All of a sudden it just poured out water like a backwards umbrella!

And the girls loved it!

Don't know if that boy did, though.

Bill decides to try crossing the 'lilly pads'.

Starts out okay.

Uh oh! Looks like trouble!

Go Bill!

Ah, rats! In the drink!
The camera wasn't fast enough to catch the shot of him falling...

Show 'em how it's done, Tracy!

She made it across pretty good!

Shower anyone?
This was fun for a bit...

There goes that bucket again!

Don't you love that?

They're building some new attractions.
I thought they were already done by the way the website talked about it.

The BIG water slide!
It took most of the afternoon for Mary to build up the courage to go on this. But she did!

The wait wasn't too long.
No one seemed to mind the wait. They moved along quite well.

Hi guys!

I need a better zoom on my camera...

Almost their turn!

One more smile before their decent!!

And some sticking out of tongues...

Kersplash!

The double tube they used...
I don't think Mary would have done this if Dad was not RIGHT there with her.

Mary's headed for the steps.
Let me outta here!

Just outside the waterpark.
2009-05-28 Concert at school

Getting ready...
We were a bit late, so Mary rushed to get her clarinet together to join the rest of the band for their warm up.

Small, but they sound good!
That girl there in the front is the one that's always giving Mary a hard time in school. I don't know about you, but I think Mary could take her....

Wish there was sound...

That's Mary on the drums!
The kids who signed up for percussion all quit, so different kids got to do different parts. Mary was so excited! Mr. Chandler filled in as the percussion section on three out of the five selections. You can see him playing the bassoon, too.

Smiles for Mom's camera!
I love it!

Easter 2009

Coloring Eggs
Every year Dad is the egg dying supervisor while Mary is the color saturation checker.

Measuring
The correct amount of vinegar and water must be used and measured with great care by our scientist.

Color Saturation
Gentle spinning of the eggs to monitor the color saturation is a tedious but rewarding job.

The Finished Product
Bright colors fit for any basket, Mary was proud of the eggs she made for her cousin, John, who is serving in Afghanista

Eggs for John
We sent him the picture, though!

What are you doing, Oreo?
Oreo found something interesting behind the picture.

What is it kitty??
100_3688.JPG 2009-04-12

Oh boy!
Glad it was plastic!

A-hunting we will go!
It just wouldn't be Easter without Mary hunting for eggs...

Look here, Mary!
Oreo, always ready to lend a hand, or, umm, paw...

A quick peek...
at the little Easter village.

Really Hard Eggs...
Mary found two quartz eggs in her basket, too! She is a rock hound, ya know.
2009-02-13 Colonial Mary

Colonial Mary
Mary waited all week to dress up in the costume we got for her for Georgia day!

A Colonial Librarian
She was sent to the media center thinking pictures were to be taken. When she got there she found they wanted to do a video of her telling what she did for her 'colonial' projects. She started wringing her hands, instantly terrified at the thought of being video taped. She didn't do it and that was certainly okay. Besides, they didn't have video in colonial days!

Posing for Mom's Camera

She's so cute.
The Mighty 8th Airforce Museum

Inside the museum
I got a couple of pictures of the airplane finatics! They had a good time looking at all the planes.

A Lesson in aircraft engines

A familiar plane
Bill worked on this type of plane while in Korea.

Inside the museum

Hope they don't fire this up!

One big plane

Lots of people here today!

Inside a 'safe house'
Too many people were wandering through this 'model' of a safe house used during a war, so I stayed outside. Caught Bill and Mary through a window, though!

The memorial gardens
Outside there is a huge garden area with many memorials, the plane in the background and a church. We need to go back when all is in bloom to see again.

One of the many memorials

Part of the church.
The church is gorgeous inside. I didn't take any pictures inside, though. Too many people around.

Waiting outside...
while Bill and Mary browsed the gift shop, I went out for some air. I had fun taking pictures, though!

There they are!

Think they've seen me yet?

I think so!

What are you doin' mom?

Okay, I'll stop.

The wind picked up for a great shot of the flag!

Mary's First Concert!

Mary's First Performance!
Mary was quite nervous about her first performance, but didn't show it!

Getting ready
The familiar sight of suckin' on reeds brought back memories of Dayna's band days. Breanna gave me a big smile for the camera!

More smiles!
To the left of Mary is another of her buddies, Katie. She gave me a smile, too.

The Flute section.
The flute section had extra help. A mom volunteered every week during band. They gave her a pretty thank you gift!

The excitement builds.
The band chairs were filling up and I tried to get a good shot, but it was interrupted. That's okay, though!

Waiting to start!

Last minute adjustments by the band director.

Those eyes!
Don't know what's up with the 'laser eyes'. Don't know if it's the lighting in the gym or everyone was just looking right at my camera!

Look at her!
She's so cute! Go Mary!

Wish you could hear them play!
But this is just the first of many performances, I'm sure.

Music to my ears!

The band director joined in on the last tune!

Mary loves her band teacher!

Breanna was happy too!
Mary's best bud in band, Breanna did well, too!
