It was a fantastic week of shopping, the zoo, eating out and relaxing. We all had a great time. Jeff even took the kids up to visit his parents and took the kids to the Lake. Since I am <em><strong>so slow</strong></em> at uploading pictures (I know, I know!) , I thought that I would start with the zoo pics! <br /><br /><div align="center">We picked a <span style="color:#006600;"><strong>great</strong></span> overcast day. It was warm, but not hot - and a weekday! There were not many people at all which made it <a href="http://leskofamily.blogspot.com/2008/08/lions-and-tigers-and-pee-oh-my.html">SO much more enjoyable than last year</a> (which I affectionately call it the "day of hot")! All of the animals were out and playful, and Mario walked the ENTIRE zoo... which, to be honest, sometimes I personally would like a adult sized stroller for. I was impressed by his energy and stamina! These are not in any real order, but I am just happy that they are up in less than a month from the event.

I am not keeping up as well as I would like! lol. Her cheer squad had a bake sale Thursday, Friday and Saturday which they made a great profit. Sunday, she volunteered at the assisted living complex that she has been helping with all summer. They had a festival from 11:30 to 6pm. She really gets a kick out of the residents. Her freshman orientation is the 12th of August... odd... odd that she will be a freshman... odd that in 4 short years, she will be leaving for college... that the next 4 years will I am sure, fly by in a blur of fun....odd that her dad will be her principal... and I will be sitting in the audience at orientation the mother of TWO ready for one to start high school and one not even in kindergarten... what a great life :-) I just need to breathe and take it all in before it goes by so fast...<br /><br />Mario has now taken to saying LOTS of words in the past week that make me laugh. He says that dad is "mowing"... he now refers to our dog by his full name instead of just Murrs... he now calls him Murry which sounds more like "Moo-wee"...he says "What?" when Alli calls him - with the emphasis on the T at the end...he says "oh MAN!" ...he sings Old Mc Donald "e-i-e-i-oooooooo" with his lips pursed out with the ooooooo....and Itsy Bitsy Spider with adorable arm movements....of course, car, truck, hand... and all kinds of cute words that make me pick him up and kiss his "wittle neck"... this child is the most kissable thing ever.<br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/BloggerBoutique/siggy-6.png" /></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674490899046535412.post-29050576446788196112009-07-17T20:55:00.002-04:002009-07-17T21:04:54.682-04:00The KiddosOh, I just never am on here, but I thought that I would post the few pics I have taken!

I will do a series of posts over the next few days to update. I need to not worry about my P's and Q's in every post and stress about it... I need to take the attitude that you are here to see the kids, to read what is up with us... you are not her to be critical...so I will just update more and stress less, how about that?<br /><br />We will start with school ending...Jeff's summer schedule is a bit more flexible (yes, folks, principals DO work in the summer... they do more than discipline kids - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lol</span>!). I love him coming home for lunch on occasion and being able to take off to work on some projects! <br /><br />Speaking of projects: My <span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"><strong>SUPER in-laws</strong></span> came down a few days, and with Jeff's help, they prepped and put in a sidewalk! <em><span style="color:#993300;">It is WONDERFUL</span></em>. It was a lot of back-breaking work for them <span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>(I did pick up a shovel once...then I handed it to Jeff, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lol</span>...Mario and I did a lot of playing in the kiddie pool and cheering them on!),</em></span> but it is SO worth it. We really love how it looks! I call it my runway and have taken to doing my best <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Tyra</span> Banks impression many an evening. Who knew that a sidewalk could be this much fun. We have yet to break out the sidewalk chalk...since it seriously has rained every blessed day since the concrete set! :-)<br /><br />We are really grateful for Jeff's parents' <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">expertise</span> and labor with this project. Jeff learned a lot... the main things he learned:<br /><strong><span style="font-family:courier new;">*digging is hard</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><strong>*his dad has a bit more stamina than him</strong> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">(although Jeff would not like to admit that)</span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:courier new;">*you DO need those upper level math skills of algebra and geometry</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:courier new;">*concrete sets quickly... VERY quickly on hot days</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:courier new;">*he is glad he did not chose concrete or ditch digging as a career - hard work!</span></strong><br /><br />Here are some pictures of the wonderful finished product... and a <span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"><em>BIG THANK YOU to Jeff's folks for all of their help and hard work..</em></span> We LOVE the sidewalk:<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354788505113077218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBGiqSwEIydBmVAEBtXT9rHK5Ct_44AjoZ-HRFZfisrH2d8LNua7nem7PA8Hl4K8MdObdK9W2HN0r3OAF4dnSQ21QPV9Vc6z67XaJKBquya5mbXxHvmL2ZgmVeyyHy2Z77NJUY9h70QD8K/s400/060.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354788500034237378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVyP1rFQDRExyKpEohbUDtA9YXQGU4gW-3yq3hGoQqegvOQAkIKBGXdyIMS8e9Ida6wXCVEO8s-7VTepMqaF6nVaAfdlGSqogZK3YoBbrqYBqAhjAUK7IlbNmBMHDSs5icdCJKFNRlG33z/s400/059.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354788495535073282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXS0T2_WzSA1n3f_uTlD3dDa89MHJSaKGRXjlO7KhtC3QwOtK4i37Lx2gXvejEP0nxxFDrt9OXgxA_PJqhP7XtTrug3IjPcLuJ2sajNwD2VpL_bJ_UK9W7V2JwL-JozgFe30hFPW7Qzr-/s400/058.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/BloggerBoutique/siggy-6.png" /></p></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674490899046535412.post-62357793794550540302009-06-13T11:40:00.001-04:002009-06-13T11:41:21.798-04:00love.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFStLEyi_V9ywU0wtiTYYSh2isWIfgf0jay6Na0LqNybvYTNNm7cC3KjtfXH-K9wcxCl7mRTEMARkhbP7Bz4KkDYsXnSOtA2ybuSJFHIlJwUF3HjbZkLv-t_A2-L-rW5BG0Pl65ygZO15M/s1600-h/23.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346837722445182658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 297px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFStLEyi_V9ywU0wtiTYYSh2isWIfgf0jay6Na0LqNybvYTNNm7cC3KjtfXH-K9wcxCl7mRTEMARkhbP7Bz4KkDYsXnSOtA2ybuSJFHIlJwUF3HjbZkLv-t_A2-L-rW5BG0Pl65ygZO15M/s400/23.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/BloggerBoutique/siggy-6.png" /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674490899046535412.post-11952276143279745952009-06-10T10:05:00.013-04:002009-06-11T11:03:24.136-04:00SwimmingOh, I have been trying and trying to post this week, but blogger is just not cooperating. ugh.

Let me sum up quickly:<br /><br />* Mother's Day was great... the kids/Jeff got me hydrangeas (my favorite flower). Happy LATE Mother's Day to all of you great Mamas and Mamas to Be!<br /><span style="color:#990000;">* Alli turned 14! She celebrated by going with her best friend to supper and getting manicures.. and a sleepover. She got an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ipod</span> Touch from us, which when you ask if she likes it, she says, "oh, yes, I am OBSESSED with it. It is AMAZING!" (the 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bolded</span> words are in constant rotation in her teen vocabulary). I have yet to get a regular <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ipod</span>...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">lol</span>. I bet it would be pretty funny to see me walking the track with my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">walkman</span> cassette player...I do miss listening to my Poison and Skid Row tapes.</span><br />* Alli is volunteering a the local hospital and a nearby assisted living home. She loves both. Her team won their first softball game, and she will run cross country in the fall, so she has started training for that. Cheer camp will come soon enough, and she just cannot wait to get her uniform! :-) Her schedule exhausts me, but she tells me she loves to be busy... me, not so much... I like to be still! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">lol</span>!<br /><span style="color:#990000;">* Jeff is finishing the school year. He loves his job, but the final several weeks leading to graduation are filled with activities and work for him... and excitement for the kids... especially the seniors. He is looking forward to "presiding" over his second graduation ceremony. He has been busy with observations and teacher interviews... and has even started getting ready for next year's schedule. He will be REALLY happy next weekend when the summer work schedule starts, and all of the kids are safely graduated.</span><br />* Memorial Day weekend was WONDERFUL. We worked in the yard all week... it is shaping up. Saturday, Jeff's folks came and took Alli to the mall shopping for her birthday. She had a great time. They came back to visit with us here, and of course got a kick out of Mario. They brought him a flag to which he promptly says "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Bama</span>"... not sure where he got that?<br /><span style="color:#990000;">* Sunday, we went to a picnic at a friends house... they rented one of those bouncy obstacle things... we thought he would LOVE it.. WRONG! He freaked out! He did hug every single child about 100 times...whether they wanted it or not.. I kept telling him "no means no" but he seemed to think that <em><span style="font-family:arial;">their lips said no and their eyes said yes</span></em>...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">lol</span>. He liked when Alli took him on the trampoline! I personally enjoyed talking to big people! </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">*Monday we spent some time with my parents doing what I love... eating and sitting on their porch! Of course, through ALL of these events, I did not take pictures.. but last evening, Jeff took Mario outside to water, and I took these cuties! He just loves the water! Hope your weekend was as lovely as ours!</span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340198810287980850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6-vy5VZ4q9qDNu2pZSJk9CxAC-BqnVw3AqNTgz9O2u_J_NJabiflhMD9CnK7FlUbv1BQUi_-lMQcdPacPR38ZQuJ-QxZt4W4p7ytNUftkt5gWTmrX9wG-fp34fDKVlitVBqeZme_FCcT/s400/022.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxdncrioX3VTuQAz0O-trL9dPGDuYKpbKDSLDN_ZTql4nzWMTzPhuwvRVrW7gdwbxXkpA5XXoqTZg1j_bM7qLa-pc0ymF8CHRKl8FVKNMm7QI5ZeO9iMb5VqCsvjKB1u7KOtghzat28Egw/s1600-h/018.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340198801390794290" style="DISPLAY: block;

This is the face of a survivor. </span></div><br />Saying that Trina is going through a rough time is the understatement of the year. Trina has a son, Asa. He is 4 and a half and beautiful. She has a loving husband, Josh. They decided to expand their family, and Trina got pregnant ... then sadly, miscarried. Not discouraged, the ever-upbeat girl decided to try again....and they found out they were expecting again! She was thrilled, but cautious. When pain started in her shoulder, she went directly to the doctor. When brushed off, she persisted only to find out the worst news of her life. After 16 and a half years of being cancer-free she found out that she has cancer again....<br /><br />in her breast....<br /><br />in her liver...<br /><br />Yesterday, the day after Mother's Day, Trina had to terminate her pregnancy. Today, she will endure many tests to see how far the cancer has spread. There is no time for mourning her child. She has to start chemotherapy tomorrow.<br /><br />These are all things that I cannot, and frankly, don't want to imagine. Trina has been good to me. She is a friend who listens... who is sweet and kind. She will fight this.<br /><br />I am hoping that any of the readers out there will please visit the following blog:<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://areyou1in8.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>http://areyou1in8.blogspot.com/</strong></span></a></div><br />Here you will find a <span style="color:#ff0000;">GREAT raffle</span> with opportunities to win great prizes. <br /><br />More importantly you will find the story of a fighter.<br /><br />I hope you will donate... either monetarily or through prayer... or buy putting a "Pray for Trina" button on your blog... or donate your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">facebook</span> status. I hope you will be moved to do something to help. <br /><br />We have hope. We have faith. We KNOW that Trina will stand up to cancer and FIGHT, but we also know that things are tough, and they could use a hand up. <br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"><strong><a href="http://areyou1in8.blogspot.com/">Would you join us in helping Trina?</a></strong></span><br /><br /></div><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/BloggerBoutique/siggy-6.png" /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674490899046535412.post-42958840402880400752009-05-01T17:21:00.003-04:002009-05-01T17:38:33.244-04:00Favorite Foto (s) FridayAllison had to make a bench in her 9 weeks Tech.

I thought that you would let me slide this week with these CUTE photos of my <span style="color:#333300;">little man, Mo</span>! He is a sweet, loud, lovable little man who is in constant motion. I squeeze him and kiss his face off daily. Go see MORE FFFs at <a href="http://kissthefrog4me.blogspot.com/">SARAH'S BLOG</a>.</strong></span><br /><br /><em><span style="color:#3366ff;">*on a side note: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE indulge me and say a BIG BIG BIG prayer for my girl tomorrow morning (around 10-noon). Alli is trying out for the Freshman cheerleading squad...and is trying for CAPTAIN/Co-Capt, too. She has been working and working on the dance/cheer/chant/jumps/splits/tumbling/facials... well, you get the idea! I am proud of her already, and she will be fine if she doesn't make it, but she REEEEEEEEEALLLY really wants to. I will post tomorrow afternoon either way.

Jeff and Alli had the entire week off, so I was busy. I made all of their appointments for the week off as to avoid it in the summer. The dog even went to the vet! Allison did her two trainings for her volunteer work at the hospital and nursing home. She starts next Monday and is so excited. She tries out for the Freshman cheer squad this Saturday, so check back to see if she made it. She is so nervous, and to be honest, Jeff and I are nervous for her. There are only 11 spots for that squad and MANY more trying out. If you think of it, say a little pray for my girl. I know that she really wants this. :-)<br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/BloggerBoutique/siggy-6.png" /></p></div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674490899046535412.post-21026896709503294132009-04-01T21:05:00.000-04:002009-04-01T21:06:32.697-04:00Wordless Wednesday: to make you laugh<object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U8Ev5HgGACg&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U8Ev5HgGACg&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/BloggerBoutique/siggy-6.png" /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674490899046535412.post-59788814227028610632009-03-31T10:41:00.008-04:002009-03-31T14:38:44.708-04:00Catch Up PostLife is just rolling by, and as many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bloggers</span> write: We are just too busy living to blog! This will be a catch up post of the past 2 weeks.
<br />
<br />Allison has been participating in a softball skills clinic the past few weekends which the final day will be this coming Sunday. She likes softball, and the clinic was a good way to get her back into the swing of things (pun intended). She will start practice this weekend provided we don't get anymore snow... yes, folks, there WAS snow yesterday...yet, today it is a light jacket day. Only in PA!
<br />
<br />Allison had a GREAT part in her school's play. Like last year <a href="http://leskofamily.blogspot.com/2008/04/drama-queen.html">(click HERE)</a>, the school custodian and his wife wrote and directed an original play for the kids. They have been such a wonderful part of Alli's life the past two years, and Alli will surely miss working with them. The play this year was about 2 witches, one sticky sweet/one horrible who <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">accidentally</span> get a spell put on them and they switch personalities. It was called <span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">sWITCHed</span></strong></span>, cleaver, eh? Alli played the sweet witch, then she switched to the mean one... she was mean the majority of the play... and VERY funny. It was really cute to see her playing so rude. She loved being able to be so mean on purpose!
<br />
<br />They have 3 performances: one during the day for the students, one Thursday Night and one Friday Night. Jeff's folks, like last year, came to the afternoon performance. Jeff "skipped" a bit of work to join them. She was so excited to have them in the balcony for the performance. They also took time to spend with Mario here before for his birthday, and after to celebrate Alli's play. It is always nice to see Jeff's parents who are so generous with their time for our kids! We had lunch together and cupcakes!<a href="http://leskofamily.blogspot.com/2008/04/drama-queen.html">
