Old camera, funny pics

Bad News

For Camri's birthday on June 3rd, she wanted to go to Cedar and go bowling and to a movie and then eat at Sizzler. So we did just that. We decided to take the digital camera since I don't take very many pics with it. I took some good pictures at Grandma Fischer's with her cake and then some really good one's of all of us bowling. When we got home we were unloading the car and found out the camera didn't make it home with us. Well we called everywhere we could think of, my brother even went and the drove around the places we went and he couldn't find it. So, I was lucky I had taken all the pictures off of it the day before so you can all see what happened in May.

But another thing we found when we got home was the power had surged and this:

At first we weren't sure if someone had vandalized our trampoline or if the wind had just ripped it to pieces. Well we asked around the neighborhood and found out that a big whirlywind came through our backyard and picked up the trampoline and put it up on the powerline above it, the transformer shot out sparks. It was hanging up there for about 3 hours and then the power people came and took it down (not gently). So now instead of saving for a new car, that will have to go towards a new trampoline and camera.

Weekend at Grandma's

The weekend after the cruise (May 30th) we found out that my brother (Aaron), his wife (Julie) and baby Ava(pictured with Camri), were moving to Atlanta. So we all stayed and visited for the weekend. We will miss you and we love you and wish you luck.

Here is a picture of some of the grandkids in the family. Yes, mostly girls, always!

The Cruise

After all the birthday celebrations we left the kids in Minersville and headed off with Megan to California to go on our cruise. There is our ship behind me. We had a lot of fun.


Here we are at Catalina Island, one of the stops in our cruise. We were also supposed to stop in Ensinada, Mexico, but because of the H1N1 flu we just floated around in the ocean for an extra day. We had a lot of fun and again I videoed a lot more. Megan has a lot more pictures of the ship and other stuff.

2nd birthday celebration!

On May 23rd, we headed to Minersville for a double birthday celebration. Alyssa and (our little niece) Tylee. Tylee turned 2 on the 24th and we rented the pool. All of the cousins love the water, it was a lot of fun. Again, I used the video to capture most of the partying.



Just a good shot of Camri going off the diving board.

More than one birthday/cousin

We always try to kill 2(or more) birthdays with 1 cake, so we celebrated Alyssa, Megan, Shanon and Bostyn's birthdays.

We also tried to take as many pictures as we can when we are all together. All the cousins are here except Alex and new baby girl. But hopefully we will have us all together in August.



This was supposed to be a "make a funny face" picture, but some didn't participate. Their still so cute!

Alyssa's Birthday!

I can't believe Alyssa turned 9 years old. She is growing up, and we love her so much and are so proud of her. We do a lot of pics with the video camera and forget to use the digital, so we don't have pics of her getting a new bike and softball bat. She also got lots of money from family and some fun gifts. Thank you to everyone who gave her wishes and gifts.



As you can see she also had a softball game on her birthday (softball shirt). And these next pics show how the cousins were wearing her visor (some liked it and some didn't).
