Family Reunion

Thursday evening and all day Friday I attended the Jones Family reunion hosted by Marilyn Jones Wadsworth. We gathered together in Nampa, Id at the Lion's park around 4:00pm. Some of the kids played kick ball and others played on the swings and slides. That evening we had sloppy joes and hot dogs, salad, chips and brownies for dinner. After dinner we put together a barefoot soccer game with was a blast. The most challenging part of the game was to keep from falling over the little scrappers that were playing with us. You'll see what I mean when you look at the pictures.

Friday we started about 11:00am and had lunch of sandwiches. After lunch most of all the kids invaded the pool for the afternoon. The rest of us just sat around in the shade at the park and visted. Uncle Leroy had a personal history written by Leah, so some were reading that and talking about it. For dinner we had chicken, salad, chips, beans, watermelon. After dinner we got into our big circle and each of Ray & Julia's kids took a few minutes to bring everyone up to speed on their families. It was a really fun day and a half. Since I haven't been to the last two reunions it was really great to see everyone. All of you who weren't able to make it, WE MISSED YOU>>>>>>>>>>

A big THANK YOU goes out to Marilyn for all her hard work to be the hostess this year. In two years it back to Ron's family. We are already talking about ideas..... We are looking forward to it.

Here is a slide show of some of the pictures I took. You can see all of the pictures by going to my picture gallery http://mitzpicz.shutterfly.com/ . From the gallery you should be able to download any that you would like. If you have any trouble with the gallery please let me know.


Love you all ~~Mitzi

Prom

It is Prom Night ~ It all started two weeks ago when Lodge (his real name is Andrew Lodge but Tori just calls him Lodge) unofficially ask Tori to go to Prom. As it turns out Boise and Timberline's Prom is on the same night (Lodge goes to THS). So they are just going to THS's prom. The shopping for a dress began. Lodge gave Tori a list of colors he would not wear (he wanted to match his Tux to her dress). We finally found the perfect dress. Finally this week we got the official invitation, a box of rose petals, rose and a note. Then we had to give him an answer, so we went to Petco and bought a Beta fish and bowl. She made a sign to put on the fish bowl that said "It will be a SPLASH to go to Prom with you" and we delivered it to his house while he was at work. I treated her to getting her hair and makeup done. Lodge picked her up at 5:00, here they are exchanging flowers. Took some pictures and then they were off to Lodge's house for more pictures. She said that...

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let'...

Tori Scores! ! ! ! !

SENIOR NIGHT We had two very important (and tough) games this week. We needed to win them both to end up high in the standings. Monday's game, Senior night, was against Capital, Tori played outside back defender the whole first half. Then he moved her to outside midfielder for the second half. Boise won to win 3-1. Wednesday was again Centennial at Centennial. We started pretty flat and they scored first. Tori went in about half way through the first half as a outside midfielder. She SCORED with about 2 minutes left in the first half. It was a beauty...... We were able to come out in the second half and score again. Tori played really well in both games. Then we just held on tight and pulled out the win. We are going into the District Tourney as #2 seed. We play Saturday 10/11 at Centennial High School at 11:00. Come cheer her on..............
