Mrs. Emeleen Maliska

Mrs. Emeleen Maliska (Grandma) went to be in the loving and comforting arms of God on Monday evening, March 15th. She lost her battle with Cancer and she will be GREATLY missed. I know she will still be watching all the grandkids and the great grandkids running and playing with all the balls. She did state on Sunday that she loved to watch all the kids play. :-) I loved you like you were my own grandmother and I am soooo blessed to have known you and for Kylan to have known you. He will never forget his Grandma!

We Love and Miss you Grandma and you are now in Beautiful Heaven!

The one below is obviously from the 80's! Grandma and Grandpa with all 5 kids! ;-) (haha)

Rest In Peace Grandma

June 6, 1938 ~ March 15, 2010

The funeral is this Friday at 10 am and I know it is going to be just beautiful!

It's a duck, It's a boat, No.... It's a Car!!!!

While coming to Rockwall this past weekend to one of my little niece's birthday party at ASI, I was sitting in the HORRIBLE traffic for an hour and I spotted something on the horizon! I sooooo desperately wanted to get closer to see what it was because I was stuck on the bridge but was not close enough to tell what it was. Finally, right when I was about to exit, I see this...

That's right, no need to wipe your eyes, it's a car that was made into a boat! It was so cute :-) I had to double take, then scramble to get my camera!! Kylan was asleep so he didn't get to see it. Thank goodness, he might think that all cars can go in the water!! :-S

Anyway, after sitting in traffic for an hour, there wasn't much time left to be at Mia's party so I captured a few images with him and his 2 girl cousins! I was really kind of scared that he would be upset if max (his boy cousin) wasn't there because he had been saying all morning, "I need to go get ready to see Max and Ruby!" Those of yall that are parents probably know that Max and Ruby is a cartoon. I guess all he could remember of his cousin's names where Max and not Macie and Mia!! We definitely need to work that out Reagan so he will always remember his cousin's names. (i.e. see more of each other, Rockwall isn't far at all!) :-) Here are some shots from that party:

Walking with his 2 cousins ~ Mia (black skirt, Birthday girl) and Macie!

Freeze Dance: (They LOVED this)

Although we didn't get to play much at ASI, we went back to my sister's house and the kids got to play then!! Of course, Kylan had a breakdown when it was time to leave so we have decided that he can spend the night there when they have Macie's Roller Skate party this weekend! More pics to come on that one :-)

Hope everyone is having a good Rainy Monday!! Tomorrow is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL!! Time to start getting the garden ready for planting :-)

Snow Day Part 2...

Adding on the snow pics from below. I have so many to choose from so I guess I will just start posting :-)

This was when Scott hit him in the face with a snowball. Unintentionally :-)

Well I could go on adding pictures for days but I won't!

After it was all said and done, the front yard said we had 11 inches of snow and the back said 9 inches. Either way, it was WAYYYYYY more than what we are used to. We had a BLAST though :-)

I hope everyone was safe and had fun.

Speaking of Colorado.... (Part 1)

I feel like I am back there again. The weather people were saying we probably wouldn't get much yesterday and then last night we were supposed to get 2-4 inches and it has just gone up and up in inches. The last time it snowed a couple of inches is when Kylan was a baby:

And now we are experiencing it again. This time we are home and Kylan can actually enjoy it! :-) He's down for a nap now but when he wakes up, we are supposed to go pick up Taylor from school and we plan on having some fun!!! I just packed up the snow suites but I think I may need to get them back out!!!! :-S

This is just a preview. The camera is in the big truck and Scott's not here so there will be more pics to come. Especially since the snow is STILL falling :-)

I was just telling Scott that I don't remember when it has snowed this much. I think the last time it's snowed like this was in the 80's when I was young or maybe when I was in high school. I may be wrong but here is a pic of when I was young. I was standing here with my dad in our old front yard at the house in Mesquite. Don't you just LOVE the 80's attire and the shingles in the yard!!! hahahahahaha

I think this was probably the same storm. This was Scott (in his famous blue pants) with his snowman :-) (I wonder is his mom still has those pants ;-))

Well, I am going to relax while Kylan is down and I will put more pics up when Scott get home with the camera :-)

Hope everyone is enjoying the snow :-)

Colorado...

was 2 weeks ago! :-s I have been slacking. We went to Colorado to see some snow and I LOVED it! We took skiing lessons. I was really nervous about it but I stepped out of my comfort zone and did it and I LOVED it! :-) I can't wait until we go next and get Kylan into classes. Those little kids were sooooo cute. They were better than some adults! I think if I could have just moved my house there, I would have been so happy :-) I will let the pics explain:

This one cracks me up. Kylan says, here Granna, let me help you up since my Daddy pushed you down:

I had a couple hundred of pics and obviously I can't post them all so here are some.

Hope you enjoyed!
