Old Cars

For those of you who know Bob Folger you know that he loves old cars. Michelle and I stopped over his house one Saturday and were able to see his basement. It is filled with model cars. Here is a picture. They were really cool.

This is Gideon on Christmas Eve. Isn't he a doll? I just love those cheeks. Kiss, kiss, kiss

This is one of the shirts I made for Gabey. He loves Herbie the Love Bug so I made 2 tshirts for him. This one says "Gabey is Herbie's #1 fan". He wore it Christmas day. Notice his hair is coming back. I am so excited.

These next 2 pictures are from Pastor's surprise 50th party we had for him in the office.

No hair

This is a picture I recently took of Gabey. They buzzed him cause his hair was finally coming out from all the chemo. It makes me sad but God has been very good. His hair will grow back. I have got to keep praying for him as he goes thru this hard journey. Thank you God for taking such good care of my sweetheart.

Family Visit

My mom (far left), Dorothy, her brother, Jim, his wife, Jeannette, (second from right) and my mom's aunt, Pat (far right)

My uncle and aunt when they came in for one day to visit us. They live in Dallas, Texas. We had a very nice time with them.

Mommy and her little brother, Jim. Cool thing. They went to school with a lady here at the church. I actually am very good friends with her daughter and graduated with her son. Small world huh?

They brought Gabey a present. He loved it. It was........you will never guess.........a car. heehee His second most favorite thing behind trains. They also bought him a cool airplane. We had fun playing with it. His car and airplane had races in the hotel. Of course, the car always won (even if the airplane did) cause he was making the car go. lol

Gabey gave my aunt and uncle one of his Thomas trains as a present. What a sweet boy. They ended up giving it back cause Thomas missed Gabey.

Uncle Jim spending some time with Andrew (my brother's son).

My brother and sister compare their cameras.

Mary Beth's 40th Surprise

Here is the trio. Lori, Mary Beth and I have been friends since high school. It was so fun to go down there to surprise Mary Beth for her birthday. Lori and I had a great time visiting with our dear friend.

This is Mr. and Mrs. Woj, Mary Beth's parents. They were in on our surprise. Thanks for your help. We couldn't have done it without you.

This is Mary Beth's youngest, Cassidy. What a character she is. The picture below is her when she was a baby. How she has grown.



Mary Beth's husband, David, and Cassidy at Cheese Cake Factory. Boy did we enjoy ourselves there.

This is Luke, Mary Beth's middle child. He doesn't like to smile cause he got braces.

Here is Bethany. She is so much like my sister. She is very talented: artist, writer, crafter. Mary Beth is so proud of her.

And here is the whole Faile family. Happy Birthday Mary Beth.

Mom and child

My sister and her wonderful son. I love you both!!!

Playing in the dirt

Gabey has found a new thing he likes to do. He likes worms. They are his new best friends. So, he convinces Mommy to help him dig for worms.

In the Park

me and my sweetheart

sweetheart

he is a doll. this is the coolest thing. i can now upload pictures from my cell phone. they will go directly onto this site. how cool is that.

Afternoon outside

This is a picture Gabey took of his car. Didn't he do great. LOL.

Here is another picture he took. I love the artistic angle of it.

He took this picture of me. Yikes. I had been working all morning and for a few days at a conference at church and was completely wiped out.

Here he has his bug catcher with some crickets Shari caught for him. He was so cute with it. The poor bugs though. He would run around with the container and then throw it. Wow a rollercoaster ride for the bugs. Heehee

I let him borrow my Mickey hat. Doesn't he look cute.

And here is the future driver. He absolutely loves cars.

Parents Birthday Cake

Here is the famous cake I made for my four parents. All their birthdays are in July so we always have one big party for them. My contribution was this cake.


These are the hamburgers made out of Nilla Wafers, Snickers and frosting. Heehee. I ate one as you can see from the blob on the pile of burgers.

My Cool Kindergarteners

Some of you may know that I teach Sunday School. My class is the Kindergarteners. What a blessing they are to me. Here are some pictures of them with a craft they made. We made these cool sunglasses. God truly is gracious to let me impact these children. Aren't they adorable?

Spring is finally here!

How exciting to see the flowers start to come up outside. Today I walked out of the school building and smelled some flowers blooming beside the building. I just love the spring. I am not a winter person at all. Although I didn't mind this winter quite as much. I love green trees and flowers.
Thank you God for giving us spring. For a time of rebirth and beauty.

Season is over

Well, the cheerleading season is over. My did it go quickly. Here is a video and some pictures from the last basketball tournament. The guys won 1st place. We were so excited.







I am so proud of the girls and look forward to another year of coaching. Preferably without the drama.

Cheerleading Video 2007

My Cheerleaders

Here are some pictures of my Cheerleading squad.

This is the girls when the players are being announced. They stand in formation and each row takes turns cheering for a player.

Here are the girls on the sideline. I am so proud of them. They really are good. They are together and know a lot of cheers.

Just a candid shot.

Now you may be noticing that I only have five when in the beginning of the season I said I had seven. Unfortunately, two of my girls were expelled from the school. What a devestating time that was for me. I still continue to pray for these two girls and hope they will get their lives right with the Lord. In the meantime, I have five wonderful girls left and am very proud of them.
