July Flickr Upload, Part 1

As always, you can see the entire upload by clicking here... and here area few of my favorites (that I have ready to go, so far!)

We did a 2-ship flyover for a friend's party. Tons of fun!

Parade/Watershow Flyover in Monticello, IN. That was very cool. Lots of smoke!

We were the missing man. That was a very humbling experience.

Rejoin after the missing man... and we are outta here!

Well, somehow life has happened and I've gotten a wee bit behind again, but you just gotta keep truckin'! As always, you can see the complete upload by clicking this link, and here are a few of my faves!

Here is 012 as my undersecretary. He said that is NOT what he was, he was the assistant executive assistant. Either way, it was actually fun to have him go with me and help, and I think good experience for him too. And he made some money too.

Speaking of money, 015 had his first summer job this year. He worked at the cemetery with my dad, on the trimming crew. Lots of exercise, and a good amount of money too. This was his first ever pay check!

The Hooligans did the flyover at the Belle Isle race again this year, very awesome to see the Detroit skyline!

The same day, the Hooligans also did a Wings of Mercy event in Muskegon. Busy day but very fun!

015 lettered in track this year. Totally cool!

Being my assistant also meant helping me at home. So the family ride got a good bath. And he did many other things around the house too, like helping me get the shed re-organized (you'll have to check the feed for that!) and many plants planted, and grass cut.

La Fontaine has a town festival every year, and someone got second place in the cornhole tournament with a friend.

Some brotherly love at the newly opened Curb-a-teria. They were around when I was a kid, and then went away for a long time. Someone was very fascinated by the spinny stool.

The youth at church also packed cleanup buckets for Church World Service. They then distribute them to areas that have been hit by disasters. It was quite the puzzle to get it to all fit in the 5 gallon bucket, but they were up to the challenge, and succeeded!

Flickr September 2015 Upload

As always, the full stream is here... And here are my faves! It was a fun month!

Several cross country meets.... He had a great season, he was the 5th man on the team, so his points counted...

Went up north for Labor Day with friends... It was a great time and we got hobo dinners again!

And going to Lake Michigan! Thanks T for taking the picture of us!

Starting the Living Room refinishing project... It is mostly done. Now just some trim work. You don't often get to see pictures of me!

Practicing for the Chicagoland Flyover. That's me (again!) in the back...

Nappanee Applefest Parade Flyover... It was rainy and cloudy but still a good run!

Chicagoland Flyover - So very cool!

Homecoming weekend - Really, really neat to see him interact with friends! And play his horn.

Another meet... passing the time with one of the team members. Great bunch of boys, and a great coach too!

eLearning Pasta Bar lunch. Yup, its what we do!

August 2015 Flickr Upload

As usual, you can see the entire upload here....
and here are a few of my favorites....

Car show at Gilmore Farms, it is always so much fun. I loved this little Isetta. It's the original Smart Car!

We put the Willys in the MVPA display along with a few of our friend's heavier equipment. It looks so tiny!

Having fun over at grampa's. Nothing like some time in the pool to cool off after a hard day's work trying to demolish the shed!

Driving the big truck around....

Future Circus Strong Man Star!

Flying with this man never gets old! Hooligans doing a flyover for the race in Norwalk, OH.

So proud of him being in Pep Band... First football game of the season.

Growing more yummy things in our garden....

And so proud of him being in Cross Country. This was after the first meet in Manchester.

April 2015 Flickr Upload

As always you can see the entire upload here and a few of my faves here...

My sister always makes Jello Eggs for Easter. They now "demand" it. Whenever I tell them we'll be going over for Easter, it is the FIRST question they ask "Will Aunt Kelli make Jello Eggs?". How can she refuse....

My brother, son and Father all being goofy... The apples don't fall far....

My foot, in Reflexology class. So much fun, so cool!

This year 011 decided to run track. Our first foray into school sports. It was educational. He did not do as well as he had hoped, but he did learn a lot about himself and what he wants to change for next year. Glad he's not giving it up. They ran 6th graders in with the 7th & 8th graders, so it made for some long nights.

After the County Math fair, I got a chance to see his locker. He is somewhat willingly indulging me...

What we love to do! I love how you can see the reflection of my suit in this picture!

But this is a better shot of the planes.

The crazy Gray Hair'd Hooligans. Love these guys, they are awesome, even the one that is missing!

For class we did an Herbology Week. On the last day we went to Mounds State Park and walked around to identify various herbs in the wild. It was a ton of fun.
