SUMMER BLUES

Hi everybody!  This month has been so busy!  First of all, I got a new cousin named Alba Mary!  She is such a lovely little girlie!  She is in spain with my dear aunt and uncle!  My Grandpa Dauvin has arrived here with my great aunt Amy and and great uncle Lionel.  We had a lovely well spent, visit with them and Grandpa is staying with us till the 25th of this month.  Now he is staying with my uncle Luc.    We are having a ball here!  I have a new cat named Rosa Carmel and her kitten, Marvin Newton which is the boys special pal!  He knows tricks.  Grandpa D. has told us many stories about his childhood and Tarzan!  He tells the best stories about Tarzan.  Have you seen the movie?  Well, these stories are much more exiting and fun!  More monkeys, elephants, tigers, go-away birds, cannibals and sea monsters!  Much more too!   I always feel tense when he comes to the part where Tarzan will be boiled alive from the cannibals, until his loyal friends, the elephants save him!  He only has to call for them!  Jane and their son, Boy have many adventures.   My uncle Darin had his birthday on the 1st and my aunt Louise is having hers next week!  So we've been very busy.   My littlest cousin Joanie is having her 1st birthday on the 25th!  I am still crocheting and am a total crochet and book buff!  Mary has been accompanying me on most of our trips!  We went to the beach!  Mary is my sock-monkey made by my grandmother for christmas 2009!  Have fun this Summer! This is when I was 8!  Grandpa Dauvin is in the middle with us at 4th of July!  You can see  Mary in my lap!  Ro, my cousin is the little cute girl to the right with the polka-dot shirt!  Now she's five and has a brother, Gab!  We've been very blessed with so many family members!  We are quite the Family circus!  

May Birthday Plooza and Mother's day wishes!

In my family, we have four birthdays in May so sometimes we have a big birthday party celebrating all of our days!  Today we had a huge one on Mother's day so I shall also wish all mothers a very lovely day!   My birthday is on the 15th and then we have Grandpa W. on the 6th, Mama's on the 13th, and Aunt C. on the 14th!  Three birthdays in a row! Phew!  On Mother's Day its only a few special presents for each person but they really mean a lot!  This year Grandpa got a Birthday scrapbook from all the cousins on mama's side.  It was very great and we thank all for giving kind pages!  Grandpa W. really loved all the pages.  Happy Mother's Day all mothers!  Thank you all for what you have done for us and we really love how much you care for us!  Note:  The Best of Broadway at Silverton High school is showing on May 18th.  Unger Academy has done its best to make it an enjoyable time for all families!

Seating at 2:00, tickets are 5$ each, all proceeds goes to Fr. Taffee Holmes pregnancy center.  I am going to be in one dance dedicated to the musical, "The King and I" Its very nice and the costumes are very real to Siam!

Spring and Summer Fun

After winter and all the flowers are out and birds are making nests, sometimes the sunny days are getting restless and you need a new activity!  There are so many ways to use up a rainy/sunny day!  Some of them are not on this list but I'm sure you'll find that you are using up all the sunny days to improve your talents, and learn more!
1. Hopscotch: Its very fun game you can play with a best buddy or by yourself.
2. Jump-rope: A very fun skill for a sunny day or in a basement on rainy occasions!
3. Pool party's:  It can be so much fun if its an indoor pool and you serve it with lemonade or Cocoa!
4. Bike rides:  So much fun if its a family outing to feed the ducks at Cobble-stone bridge, or at Bluebird park!
5. Puzzles for a rainy day!  I just finished a beautiful summery puzzle! It is so much fun with a family or with siblings! 
6. CAMPING!  The best of all! I really can't wait for our Cousin Camp!
7. Picnics:  A lovely way to spend the day!  Rain or shine, its all prime!

8. Tea parties:  Come on girl cousins!  
9. Beach trips: Feel the sand!  Come on!
10. Having the lovely, fun, and creative time this year!
