I'm wishing my beautiful little girl, who's a great Tizzy Whizzy to her big Sissy, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you more than you will every imagine! Enjoy your special day, that you are privileged to share with your Cousin Ashton on her graduation day!! Hugs, kisses, squeezes & loves..................Mumma

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN

May 30, 1994 @ 5:28pm, Robyn Allyson Ham was born!!! Weighing in at 8lbs 1oz. I cannot believe my "baby" is 15yrs old today!!

I wish my beautiful "little" girl (and also the best big SISSY in the world) a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Words cannot express the love I have for you. Enjoy your day!!

Hugs, kisses, squeezes & loves..................Mumma

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!

What a wonderful day it was!!! Full of lots of surprises!! I woke up to come down the stairs to this wonderful sign the girls made and hung at the bottom.

A banner they bought at iParty!

Along with balloons

Elizabeth learned how to do Origami (youtube) last night while we were out.


Robyn made a wonderful dinner of pork chops in mushroom sauce, potatoes and spinach

The dinner ended by a cake that they made while we were out, and actually cleaned up so I had NO idea what they had been up too! We didn't have any frosting so once again Elizabeth looked on the computer and found a recipe using confectioners sugar, lemon extract and of course - pink food coloring.


And here is my necklace that Robbie completely surprised me with!!! The open hearts by Jane Seymour. I've wanted this for a while. The girls had no idea he bought it either! So its funny to see that on the poster they made for me, that Tiz had drawn the symbol for the open heart!!

Hope every mother of 2 legged and 4 legged kids had a wonderful day!!!

No rodents in the camper!!

HOOORAAYY....today while I was at work Robbie hauled out the camper and opened it up! And guess what? NO RODENTS!!! Once again, the huge box of Bounce sheets that I bought at Sam's Club and placed in every little nook and cranny worked!! He power washed it and washed some of the blankets inside. I'm so excited to think that the camping season is about to begin! I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe we can find a place and go next weekend. At least for a night. Saturday night is Prom, but something came up with her cousin and Robyn is unable to go after all. So maybe a camping trip will cheer her up. I know a campfire and s'mores will do the trick!! Not to mention the celebration of winter being over!!!!

A wonderful weekend

First, let me begin by giving a very, very special THANK YOU to my nephew Ben. He made a certain little 8yr old thrilled beyond words!! Also a HUGE birthday hug to Ben today too!! Hope you have a great day!!

We went to the Portland Pirates game on Friday night. The night that would determine if they would be in the play-offs or not. We all had a fabulous time. The game was excellent, kept you on the edge of your seat. At one point the Pirates were behind, Robbie and Tiz went to look at Pirate jerseys for sale, he ended up getting her one (gulp, again thank you Ben). From that point on the game got even more exciting and the Pirates won! Tiz insists that it was because she got a shirt and it brought good luck!!! I got a video of the end of the game and Tiz's reaction to the winning, but unsure if I could post it or not. Below are pictures of the game though:


Yes, of course he's on his phone

Tiz's new Pirates shirt

Cheering at a goal, can you see the excitement in her eyes?

No this isn't a cheer, I do believe its a jeer


After the game, tired but happy

ZONKED OUT!!

Today is Easter, and Robyn proves that you're never too old to hunt for eggs!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and a great weekend. The sun is out shining bright, not as warm as it was Friday, but I'm not complaining. The mud is drying and the days are much longer.

Again, thank you Ben!!!

Spring!!!!

Today I went to Hodgdon's to have lunch with Robbie. We got sandwiches at one of our favorite places, East Boothbay General Store. They have the best sandwiches!! When I was about to leave, Hodgdon's Parking lot, I noticed by the door..................crocuses!!!! Purple and white crocus!! That means Spring is really here, right???

I'm going to take a moment to brag, because I'm VERY proud to say that Robyn made the 2nd trimester HONOR ROLL!!! WOOHOO!! HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE. Robyn has always been an okay student, but not one to really apply herself, and managed to squeak by. Well last semester she just missed it, but this semester she really applied herself!! YIPEEE......course, her motivation was that if she got honor roll this semester and the last semester, that we would pay half her drivers ed in June (gulp, yup you read that right) and if she made High Honors - we'd pay for the whole thing. So she got her "blue card" and can now miss 1/2 day of school, plus she gets other benefits too, think she gets a discount at a few stores in town and movie theatre. CONGRATULATIONS ROBYN, WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT ALL ALONG!!!

Finally, here is what the girls did to their dad for April Fools joke!!! LOL!!!
