I can't believe it's been 10 years!!!!

I had the honor and pleasure of planning my 10-year reunion for Fairfield Union's graduating class of 1999! Our reunion was held at the FOP Lodge in Lancaster on My 30th, 2009! I think we had a GREAT turnout! We had 50 of our classmates in attendance (with guests we ended up with 100 total!) and everyone, I thought, had a really nice time!

Our group photo was a little rocky at first.....


But we pulled it together and Husband took a GREAT shot!


Kelly did ALL the food and yummy cake!!!




And thanks to Elizabeth and Jade for making TONS of phone calls for me!



And here's some others.....thanks to everyone who came! It was a fun, fun night! See everyone in 5 years!






As usual...there are a bunch more photos on my myspace and facebook! :) Thanks again to everyone that helped....especially those who stuck around after!!!!! Can't wait to see y'all again!

Remembering on Memorial Day

We celebrated Memorial Day with a fire and smores at Grandma Betty's.....





The next day, we headed to Sister's bright and early to catch the Parade....







And then headed to the Eggers' for a wonderful cookout! I took tons of pictures and will upload them soon!!! :):)

Moms and Mothers.....

Having the Mother that I have has taught me so much in life. The woman who gave birth to me is one of THE strongest women I know and I honestly can't imagine my life without her at the other end of the phone line every single day. Last year she lost her Mother, my grandmother, just a couple days before Mother's Day and I observed my mother at her strongest, yet weakest moment in her life. Mom: I love you so much and am so happy we are as close as we are....you're my Mom, but you're also my Best Friend and I love you with every ounce of my heart and soul......


My boys and I!! Thanks for making life as a Step-Mom and a Momma a great journey! I love you boys SO very much!


And thank you for my breakfast in bed, Husband! It was delicious!




And to celebrate Mother's Day, Lyon and I have hosted this fantastic day at our house since 2002! We do a cookout with all the Moms, hang out and eat lots of GREAT food! :)

Cheers to you.....

Happy Birthday to the BEST parents in the entire world!



They celebrate thier birthdays just 9 days apart!!!! Happy Birthday you two! :)

Happy 30th Birthday to Husband!

As most of you know, Mr. Lyon George hit the big 3-0 in April this year and to celebrate this momentous occasion......I threw a SURPRISE party for him! :)

Here's the story......

We started his birthday "celebration" by heading to Max & Erma's for dinner with our parents and siblings, nephews and nieces!

Here he is with his Mom and the kids are below that!




Ok, so in HIS mind, his Mom and Jayme were taking Gunnar to "stay the night" with them so I could take him to pick up his surprise gift which would require him to be blindfolded........he was game! (Thank goodness!)



When we arrived at the building, I helped him out of the car......



And into the building and that's where.....SURPRISE came into play!!!!!


My great friend, Kelly, made this fantastic cake!!!!!




Our great friends, Wendy, Dve and Shive or "Blackberry Bottom Band", provided us with great music!!!


And a special thanks to my lovely friend Miss Megan! Thanks for getting everything together for me! :):):)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUSBAND! I LOVE YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!



Thanks to everyone who came! It was SO fun!!!!!
