From a Dude to a Cool Mom!

One summer's eve (this one, for those who ask), I was checking through the blogs and noticed a new contributor, Mrs. Tammy Maher! So everybody, please give her a warm welcome to the blogs! A nice ROUND of applause would do, or even an alligator clap would suffice! Sorry, but I feel like a kindergartener today! Welcome!

Believe it or not, you really can read it!

Don't try to think, just read as fast as you can. This is one time that phonics won't work.

Oh say can you see...

Here's just a taste of the Pilegaards' 4th of July Part. If anyone want's a full copy of all 235 shots that we took, just email me.

 

The first three are pics of the waterballon toss. The winners are Eric Pilly and Anja Longenecker as the first pair and Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Harter as the tying second pair. The last shot is of the carry-the-water-from-one-pail-to-another-with-just-a-sponge game, of which the winner is unknown to me.

 

Here's some great shots of the cherry pit spitting contenders in action. And guess who's the champion of this game. Me!

 

Here's some pics of the hula-hooping contest, which Steven Carrey won, beating last year's champion, Lauren Burns.

As you can see, Mr. Harkins won the large watermelon-eating contest...

...and Julia won the small watermelon-eating contest.

 

Above are some of the bubble-blowing contest. I don't know what was with me but I sucked at that game hard core!

 

The first three are pics of the bring-the-greased-watermelon-to-your-opponents'-side activity. The last is one of a race. 

Here's some "swing-time" pics.

 

Here's some pics of when things began to quiet down as everyone was getting ready to say goodbye. Well, maybe not Charlie. 

All right, so that party was a monster blast; great food, great games and activities, great dj and MC (Mr. Maher), great hosts and hostesses, great even just chillin', great fun, great party. But it wasn't the real party that probably everyone was expecting, for the Cranes grandfather went to the hospital and their mom got sick. So let's pray for them both.

Happy 4th of July

Alright well this past week I went to my brother's "Promotion" and he was so cute! He did an awesome job with his speech (lol well with just a little bit of help from my dad). Well on the way down to his school my dad and I saw a head of a moose in the back of a truck. It was just one of thoughs things that you just don't see everyday. Ok well last weekend my grandparents had their 40th wedding anniversary. So all the parents went out to San Fran while all the grand-kids hung out at tyler's...New house, and had a lot of fun. Now Tyler is here with us for the week hangin out here until we want him to leave. On Friday when the Youth Group went to SF we went to the beach and I caught a con-artist trying to act a fake injury. The lady said that this dog owner's dog ran into her but the dog wasn't even near her and I saw the whole thing, so the police came and paramedic and I had to give a statement and tell everyone what happened...A lot. So I might get a call from the police sometime this week and maybe go to court if that lady prosecutes (yip) :-. Alright hopefully this posy will do for now. Oh and Happy 4th of July just in case I don't see any of you tomorrow.

Peace from Sactown,

Happy Belated Father's Day To All The Dad's Out There!

Well I blew it I was gone all day yesterday visiting with my grandparents and family that I didn't have time to post something for my dad. Better late then never...Right? Ok, whenever I look through an album or a few pictures I don't really ever see the dad. I looked through my mom's photo album and didn't see my grandfather alot, only in a "ask someone else" photo and get one with the whole family in front of something. And it was the same with my other grandfather, I never really ever saw a picture of my grandfather's picture around the house in an album or in a picture. So I asked both of them "why aren't you in any of these pictures?" and well they said that they were too busy getting the rest of the family in the pictures or there wasn't anyone around, and tons of other excuses. So I decided to go look and see if my dad was in any of the pictures that we had and I found a lot. There were some oh him and me when I was a baby,going to school,kindergarten,first tooth, with Conor and Birdy. Hahaha, but most of the time what my dad would do was video tape everything. He would video tape the while family. LOL there is one thing that my dad would do and that was on every Birthday he would "interview all of us me,ConMan, and Birdy. He would ask who was the president back then, or what our favorite color was, he would ask us a Math question, just random stuff. So anyways I was very happy to see that my dad (being the CamWiz that he is) seeing him in alot of these photos and even sometimes being in the videos. So anyways I just wanted to say a Happy Belated Father's Day to all the dad's out there. And to my dad too, for always being there and for me and for being MY dad.

As always,
Shan,M
