Blue Creek Home IMPORTANT NEWS
Hi Everyone.

Here is the letter from Rhonda.

Hi, it's Rhonda from Blue Creek Home. Some of you may have heard that I lost my blog over the weekend. Thankfully, I had started it at blogspot.com before I purchased the domain and changed it to .com. This allowed me to continue to access the blog at the blogspot address with all of the contents intact. The problem is that any links you guys have do not come to me now and most of my internal links are broken.

The man who bought my domain (fair and square, I might add) has set up house at my old blog address (bluecreekhome.com) For the first few days when you visited, you were redirected to GoDadddy. Today, he suddenly has six or seven posts - a new header - some talk about interior design and decorating, and google ads. Please if you go over, don't click on anything. I don't want this guy to make a cent from my friends!

Find me at bluecreekhome.blogspot.com for now and please change your link address to the new blogspot address if you have my button or follow me or saved me saved to favorites/bookmark.

This has taken the wind out of my sails. I am trying to decide if it's time for a break so that I can focus 100% on little Mason and family. I will keep y'all updated.

A few of my best blog friends have offered to post this on their blog for me and I appreciate you guys. Anyone else, please feel free to copy this and post it for me -I want to keep this man from getting my traffic!
And, a word of warning to those who may own their domains - don't let it expire!!! Domain squatters are waiting like vultures in the wings to buy it. One thing I WILL NOT DO is try to buy it back from him.
I sincerely appreciate each one of you,
Rhonda

Thanks so much for going over to give her a word of encouragement- Diana

MamasBoy Rocks! Literally~

My son and my

daughter-in-love have

been working on their place

for a l-o-n-g time.

You don't want to know

HOW LONG

because we will all start crying.

Let's just say that with

building permits,

and work stoppages,

and city permits,

and work stoppages,

and rain..

and work stoppages..

did I mention city codes that

were impossible to meet?

Well, anyway..

it has been a

LONG HAUL,

However,

the inside is mostly done.

Too beautiful to show you-

you would all start having

heart palpitations...~

Anyway..

the outside needed a bit

of

LANDSCAPE HELP

after all the

CITY CODES had

been met.

On my way hone from work

today I stopped and

look what is

rocking my world!

My son, MamasBoy,

is terracing their property.

Here's what he started with..

and this is a partial before..

And here is what is happening now.

He's a pretty good stoner, huh?

NO-Not THAT kinda stoner...

What were you thinking?

I mean this kind of stoner..

And pretty soon his sweet

wife will be making it as

pretty as the  container

on her porch~

I think

this whole project

 ROCKS!

Ria The BalleRIAna!

My little Ria was so

lucky!

She was one of 10 kids

in our area that got selected

to take a

ballet workshop

with a NYC ballerina.

Every year this woman

comes to Milwaukee to take

summer classes.

This year she offered to share

her talent with 10 girls .

Ria has taken a couple years

of dance classes

and learned a few basic moves

but NOTHING like she

learned this week.

She was with girls who have

all taken classes at this

particular school.

Ria takes lessons

 at a different place

so she was a bit of

an "outsider"

to start.

However,

Ria, being Ria,

soon endeared herself

to everyone.

Today was her

"recital"

The 10 girls all performed

together to

music from

The Nutcracker.

Each girl made their own

"accessories"

including

A Rat's Face

And a wand

and crown..

And they got to wear

REAL ballerina outfits..

At the end,

each girl got to perform

a routine she had

devised for herself.

Ria did a beautiful job.

She is SO graceful..

and feels the music.

I think

ballet

is going to be her

"thing".

We were so proud watching

her..and they saved

her perfomance for last.

She did a wonderful job!

Her big sister, Lulu,

was very proud of her!

Tomorrow I will show

you how Sweetcheeks

fared at this "party"..

'Deed I will~

Baby E Is Turning Two!

This will be a short post today.

We are off to Milwaukee to

celebrate BabyE's big day.

Last year he had a

MONKEY PARTY!

Complete with a MONKEY CAKE~

I'm not sure WHY

they chose a monkey theme...

I'm not sure what the

theme is this year..

but it really doesn't matter

because

The Theme

IS

BABY E!

Can you believe he has

grown from this tiny baby?

Into this precious

little 6 month old...

and onto this sweet little

9 month old

And at Christmas time

he had those

 bright blue eyes

and curls that make me want to cry..

He's so dang cute that

I could eat him up..

but I won't say that in

front of

SweetCheeks

because she would probably

offer me a spoon!

She is not

EGGactly his best fan.

And that brings me to this...

I have often pondered this question~

Which came first the

chicken or the rabbit?

Maybe I'll find out today~

And if you are very good and

promise not to rip up your

husband's old Tshirts

(you know the ones you hate

with stupid graphics or holes

in them-Yeah-those TShirts)

In a day or two...

I'll be back with pictures~

(Exit-singing Tomorrow from Annie)

Doncha just hate that that song will

be running through your head all day?

Baby E At The Dr's Office

I think most of you know

that my lovely

daughter, Mimi,

and my son-in-law,

TheIslandScout,

are expecting

baby #2.

Baby#2 is due

11/11/11.

Wouldn't that be an

AMAZING

birthday?

So, last Tuesday

I drove down to

Milwaukee

and went with Mimi

to her Dr's appointment.

I got to see the ultrasound

of our new little

grandbaby.

They do not want to know

if it's a boy or girl

so Mimi covered my

face with her hands

when the

ultrasound tech

got to that part.

Spoil sport!

However,

during the first part of the

appointment, I got to

sit with BabyE

in the waiting room.

He is a charmer, I tell you,

A CHARMER!

He flirts with all the girls.

LOOK AT

those eyelashes!

And, as you can see,

by this 20 second video..

he never stops moving.

Maybe Baby#2

will be a sitter!

Uhmm.hnmmm.

That's what Mimi is

hoping for!

I'm Not Sure HOW Old I am-But God knows-SCheeks Video

The day is a hot,

muggy almost

90º day.

We don't have many of

those in

Green Bay, WI.

After a morning of

running kids around,

my daughter along

with SweetCheeks

and Lulu

met me for

lunch.

Soon after we were

seated the subject of

age came up.

I love

SweeetCheeks

FIRST GUESS

the best~

Sorry about the background

noise.  We were in an

outdoor restuarant.

It WAS air conditioned

inside and being

as the sweat was rolling

down our foreheads we

could have opted for

 inside seating.

..but..Hey!

We never SAID we were

the brightest bulbs in

the Sylvania factory!

Notice all the mosquito bites

on SweetCheeks!

POSING FOR PICTURES

We love being outside

just as the sun is getting ready to set.

I call out to the kids that

I will take their picutres.

Lulu pays no mind and

heads right into the water.

SweetCheeks follows

Lulu's lead.

Ria, however, decides to

POSE for a picture.

Hey! SweetCheeks calls.

I wahnna pose too.

Do I do it lihke this, Ria?

Yep!  Just like that.

Okay..I gonna go up on

the grass and pose up there.

Okay, Nana?

Okay, SweetCheeks!

Hohw's this?

uhhhh...

No answer...

Ummm..SweetCheeks..

How about I take another one.

Noooo~thiss is stooopid

I gonna go play in the sand.

Okay..

I think it is time for a family

picture.

Just so you remember being

at Nana & Papa's house

on a summer night.

Wait till my son-in-law sees that he

has a piece of hair standing straight up

on his head-he is fussy about his hair.

Sorry~At least you don't have a comb-over.

Just in time.

There is just enough light.

Turn around, girls..

Quick..quick..

There it goes~

Happy Night~

Can you come back tomorrow?

Christie Repassy-Rose Queen!

Another one of

Our Own
(by Our Own-I mean a blogging friend)

has hit another magazine!

If you don't know

Christie Repassy

you MUST go

visit her.

She is beyond talented.
She is also sweet.
She takes time to reply to
comments.  She is that kind of blogger.
The kind I love!

This month she is featured

in

Romantic Country.

Here is a bit of what she does...

And, isn't she darling..

She's the larger one of the two

just in case there was any question.

I only posted a bit of the

article because you need to 

buy the magazine
and see the

rest of it for yourself,

Now pop here to her blog~

Chateau de Fleurs

which, let me warn you,

is a visual treat

and IF you

loves roses,

and pink,

and pretty,

you will love her paintings.

Start saving your pennies

cuz you just might want to

purchase something from her

web site...

Christie Repassy Designs

Aw, Christie, you

did a fine job

and I LOVE your

artwork.

Now quit smiling and get

back to painting!

Wedding Bell Blues...

If you read yesterday's post
you know that my daughter's last
BFF from school is getting married.
Here's her day~
Kristin cried all

day.

She cried when she got up.

She cried when she got dressed.

She cried  and SHOOK

when she was

putting on her lipstick.

She cried when she

walked down the aisle

on the arm of her brother.

She wasn't crying because

she was sad.

No, indeedy!

She was crying because she

was so happy.

Happy and in love.

Happy and loved.

When she got to

the front of the church

a miracle happened.

She stopped crying

and

she started smiling.

She smiled for the rest of the day.

So~ You are wondering what

was the BLUE part of the day?

Well,

All the bridesmaids

wore aqua blue dresses.

Here's one sister...

Here's another sister...

Her friend and old roommate,

One of her best friends from school.

And, below is my daughter,

who decorated the church

and the reception hall,

and made the hairpieces

that matched the dresses..

Doncha just love the hanger in

the background?

Adds a little something special

doesn't it? unhmmm

(You know her best as the

Mom of SweetCheeks)

The flowergirls wore

dresses that my granddaughters

had worn.

Let me tell you,

they were expensive dresses

but today as we counted

the flowers girls that

had worn them we realized

that this was the

EIGHTH wedding

for these dresses.

Just the sash color gets changed.

We wash them on gentle and hang

them to dry.

Crazy, huh?

And MyHero did a wonderful

job performing the wedding.

It was tender and touching

and produced a few laughs.

However, at the end everyone was

quiet as the final prayer

of the blessing for

 a happy healthy marriage

winged its way towards Heaven.

The reception was a wonderful

affair.

It was at Brett Favre's

restuarant.

There was a lovely

mixed green salad.

a smoked chicken breast,

a small tenderloin,

potatoes,

fresh al dente veggies

and

cake.

Of course we had cake

At the end of the evening,

I asked for one last shot

of the bride and groom.

When I said

SHOT

they kinda looked at me..

and then I realized that

SHOT to a policeman

has a whole different

meaning.

They smiled anyway.

Congratulations,

Kristin and Taylor-

You are beautiful.

May God bless you

and your marriage.

I DO- I DO! I DO PROMISE WEDDING PICTURES

My daughter's last

BFF that is still single

is getting married today.

MyHero is performing the

ceremony.

I will feel very safe at the wedding.

Why? You ask.

Well, it's because she is

marrying one of

Green Bay's finest men.

One of our local

policeman...

Yep!  Somehow he has

managed to escape

the handcuffs everytime.

He was a confirmed bachelor..

until he met Kristin.

Wait!  Wait!

Hey! Where are you going?

Here's a little sneak peak...

We will be seeing

something that looks like

THIS...

And something that looks like

THIS...

But in THIS color.

And eating something that

looks like

THIS...

And there will be two

little girls

wearing dresses

that both my granddaughters

wore as flower girls

in 2 weddings.

This is the 4th or 5th time

these dresses have been

loaned out.

Aren't they sweet?

These were taken when

my youngest daughter got

married.

Lulu & Ria made cute

little flower girls.

We just change the

sash to match the wedding colors.

Confused yet?

Are you wondering

if any of this is real?

Well.....

If I don't eat too much

or sleep in too late..

I will show you some

REAL pictures

of the REAL

wedding~ 

tomorrow.

I promise!
