A VERY bad day

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 is a day that I will never forget. Don and I were getting our Viper out of out trailer at Jays Body Shop and my cell phone rang. It was a number that I did not recognize so I answered the phone, " This is Jennifer". A voice on the other line said, do you have a daughter named Jaime and I said yes. He said she has been in an accident and I am holding her. At that very moment,all the life was instantly sucked out of me. I turned to Don and said we have go, Jaime has been in an accident. It happened on Reiman Rd which was not far from where were we at. We turned the corner and I saw my little girl's car upside down in the ditch..........again, I can not describe the sickness I was feeling. We got to the scene and she laying out in the field, wrapped in a blanket, crying but alive. Thank you God!!!! From then on things are sort of a blur. The scene was hetic, a lot of people. I rode in the ambulance to the hospital. I heard her cry most of the way.I was helpless and couldnt hold her. I was a wreck. After tests and being checked out, it was determined that she was fine. She would be stiff and sore but ok. Actually, not a scratch on her. Don and I felt very blessed by all the calls and texts of concerns and prayers.We were amazed and how fast word got out and how fast people began to contact us. We left hospital at 10:30 and came on home. Jaime went to school half day on Thursday and went to field trip on Friday. On Saturday, today, she and Don went to the Clay Township PD and she received her ticket for Failure to Control. She will probably loose her license again but what can you do. I love her with all my heart and soul. Thank you God and thank you to the man, Bruce Adams, for pulling my little girl out of her car.

The next big project

Don is Very excited for his summer project. He is building a new garage. Our intention is too make the garage we have into a play room and keeping our cars in the new garage. Here is the first step. It got all staked off to make sure we had enough green space in our yard left after we build it.

The BABY is home....

Don is very happy that his BABY is home. He spent this afternoon cleaning it all up.

Early spring......YEA!!!!!

I love to see things grow.

My whole life..........


Our newest nephew, Cason

Our niece, Cari finally had a little boy after having 3 girls. We had not been over to see him yet and it just so happened that she came in to the same place we were at for lunch so we got to hold him. He is so very cute.

Hot Tub Time

Our daughter Angie brought over our granddaughters, Macie and Mylie for a little fun in the hot tub. IN and OUT and lots of splashes.....it was a fun night. Jenny, Brad, Brody and Bowen stopped over later.

Hail Storm

We had a hail storm in Genoa a few weeks ago. The sound of the hail was so loud that I though someone was shooting. I could not believe what I saw when I looked out our bedroom window. Jaime and her friend Leighann woke up as well and were scared cause they didnt know what was going on. I could not believe that it was raining ice.....it was crazy!!!!! I have never seen anything like it in my life. Our entire hard was filled with quarter size plus hail.

Hockey Mania

Last Sunday the whole family went to The Huntington Center in downtown Toledo to watch the Toledo Walleye hockey game. Our grandson, Brody, is playing hockey and his team was getting recognized at the game. We had never been to a game before.We had a really good time. Hockey is a tough and rough sport. After the game was over, Brody, got to go out on the ice and skate.....he is amazing skater. We had so much fun!
                                               Brody is ready to hit the ice....
