Andrew's Farewell

We had lots of family that we haven't seen for a while and many friends come. We had about 200 people in and out and still have food. Thanks everyone that came and traveled for andy. Andrew leaves June 4.

Memorial Day

I am not sure if this was memorial day or the 4th.
I remember waking up early going with grandma and grandpa to watch them shoot the guns. It was fun and I wont ever forget. It is just exciting to see the veterans all there dressed up and shoot guns. I dont know what else they did cuz i never paid attention. I havent been back since grandpa died, but it is really a nice thing the veterans do. I think everyone should go and see it once











So I think i am getting pretty good at photoshop if you notice the picture below I took out Aunt Marcia's name(my dad told me to) I dont think she enjoyed it much but it made the 2 naughty boys and grandma laugh.

My Poor Grandma Gilgen

So me and mom were having a good day, got up early to go garage saling but couldn't find any:D. Went to sizzler around 11 noonish. When she gets this call from my grandma gilgen saying, "mel I am hurt, help me." Mom said what happened. She said, "I fell and hit my head and it is bleeding." So we had to hurry and get our sizzler in bags after going 1 time through the salad bar (bummer huh) then we went down the back roads to Iona with our hazzards going 80 miles per hour. Woo! that was scary. We ran in and the bleeding had stopped. She had a cut the size of a quarter. We took her to the doctor and they gave her 2 staples(poor gram) and said she couldn't wash her hair for a week. My mom told her to wear a doo rag and she said do you think they have a white one for the temple kidding (crazy grandma). Anyways what happened was she was putting in little yard lights in her back yard and was getting up lost her balance and started kinda falling/running and hit the corner of the house. We had to call grandpa cuz he was coming home from fishing with andrew (andrew's last fishing trip for 2 years) and she didn't want him to see the blood on the side walk and freak. She is all stapled and medicated now! :) thank goodness! that was a scare

New Beginings

So we had new beginnings last month
I had to plan most of it with my mom. It went really welll. Even though since our new ward is so small we had to use the girls from our old ward. We had sweet looking fruit pizza. We had a YW banner that dad made with his new machine. The theme was Steadfast and Immovable. We had a ton of stuff planned for this.

I Made it myself:)

Okay so you all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pictures. So I have alot of photographs. Anywho. So I had this picture board thing we made for young women a long long time ago and it didn't even fit 1/4 of my pictures. So i decided to make a huge one the size of my bed. It was really fun and easy to do.
