Anthony's Day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY!!!
Despite a previous nite of tons of rain and wind the big birthday party was still on. Jenn and John again outdid themselves in the wow factor of pulling together a CSI mystery party. "POKEMAN MISSING"
Each boy was sent an invitation in the CSI envelope. Jenn put together little packages of math problems for the boys to solve. When they had completed correctly their math problems they had to decode the numbers into letters and put the letters into words to form the clues. Lots of fun for the boys. After the first set of clues, they moved to the autopsy room for another set of clues. She made a brain mold and put scrabble pieces in the jello. Each boy was then given the "scapel" to dissect a portion of the brain. Let me tell you how much boys enjoy the gory details of cutting up the brain. Once they had that mission accomplished the final clues had to be gotten by rubbing graphite over a card. Each boy had a letter and then it formed the word. Finally they put all the clues together and figured out the dinoseaur had the pokeman cards in his mouth in the closet.
All I can say is 7 boys = high noise level, high energy level

Anthony 7 today!!!

Sherry, Rick loves that you put the Reindeer on your blog. You just need to advertise him as R.J. Peddler, the Peddler's Wife doesn't exist anymore! LOL

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
