Spring Update

We all are wishing Tommy a speedy recovery from his heart procedure.  Keep him and Judy  in your prayers!

COW POOP 
Sorry it's been so long since my last post.
  The spring holidays are over.  Hope everyone had a great Easter.  Now it is time to start thinking about getting down and dirty---as soon as the weather cooperates.  Weeding, trimming, mowing are all staring us in the face.  Ugh.
Here are some pictures of the kinfolk at Easter and just enjoying spring.

Tommy & Judy's Easter

They traveled to Fort Worth to spend the holiday with Jason, Lindsay and family.  Jason's parents were also there. 

Tommy pitches to Graham (I think).  It looks like a beautiful day there.

Boys and sports just go together.

The "other" Andrew and Alison sent pictures of their Easter.  I know it is Savannah and Evan but can't remember their youngest's name.  They are growing up so quickly!

And right before Easter, Judy made a trip out west to visit their eldest daughter, Kristen, and kids.

The MOONS celebrate Easter.

It's good to have a son who is a biggie at Weggies.  He always comes bearing gifts----nice ones!!

The Easter bunny even filled Barry's childhood basket. 

 Sugar overload!

I love the tulips.

The Easter Bunny did not forget "Bruiser."

There is always room for dessert!

Cathy's Granddaughter Has Easter Fun.

St. James Hospital held an Easter egg hunt (inside), bunny hop race and guess the # of jelly beans contest.

Face painting is always a hit with the kiddies.

St. Patrick's Day

Andrew and Allison serve  Grandma/(Great Grandma) and Grampa a traditional corn beef and cabbage dinner in their new home.  

PET SITTING

I had fun watching the two cats and "Radar" for Andrew and Allison. 

"Radar" checks out his new, squeaky toy.

"Cubby" is lovin' the many windows in the new house.  He is one cool cat.

****************************

Only Five More Months . . .

. . . until NFL season!   We love our football,Fantasy Football and now

 New York's Tim Tebow!

Nancy received a surprise in the mail---a Tim Tebow Jets tee. 

Nancy, the Almighty will not appreciate your laughing while praying, tsk, tsk.

Pi Man grills salmon on his cedar plank, a specialty of his.  Like that SU shirt

The Kinfolk Love Their Kitty Cats

"Tigerlily" is Carol and Jimmy's oldest cat.  She had some serious surgery last week.  Let's hope it adds some good years to her life

Andrew and Allison's cats.  "Anna" looks on as "Cubby" break dances!

The shiny floors in the new house are PUR-fect for it!

Easter Services In Louisiana  

Over 2,000 attended all the services on Easter Sunday at the Vineyard church.

Timmy played in the worship band

A Whole Lotta Easter Fun!

The Easter Bunny needed help when he reached the Mayo residence!

The smiles of Easter morning.

Gregory made some "devil horns" on Brendan because Brendan broke a very special egg Gregory had decorated.  Someone looks a bit guilty!

From devil to angel----Brendan and Patrick serve at mass on Easter Sunday.

Gregroy, Patrick, Jasmine, Brendan, Marissa and Sean

After church and brunch, an Easter-egg hunt awaited the kids at home.

Gregory hunts while Marissa checks out the playhouse.

MARY ANN

Lin and Mary Ann attended Easter Service with Dianne and her family.

*********************

There is always something happening at the Mayos'.  Jasmine celebrated her 10th birthday recently with a bouquet of cake pops.

It's good to be princess for a day.  A belated Happy Birthday to you, Jasmine!

Geography Bee Part II

The State finals of the Geography Bee were held in Albany at the New York Museum.  Gregory only missed two questions but as a result, he did not make it to the final round.  Still, it was a wonderful experience  and something to be very proud of!

After the bee, the family walked to the NYS Fallen Firefighters' Memorial.  Allison's father is a fallen firefighter; he died in 1986 when Allison was ten years old.

His name, Thomas Gott, is inscribed on the wall near the monument.

Thanks for sharing your story, Allison.  I'm sure you are so very proud of your father.

********************

Mary Ann took a springtime hike with grandson, Davey.  They were rewarded with a view of the Rochester x-way below.  Way to go Gramma Mary Ann!

And Davey didn't waste any time this spring before going "froggin'"  The frogs weren't out yet, but it was fun looking.

Kerry is now retired from teaching.  Now she has lots of time for her art---her second career.  And, of course, more time for the critters!

*********************************

"Radar" in action!

The yard work gets done early when you live way down south.  Timmy added some bling to his landscape.

And finally, Patrick does homework with a little help from his friends!!
