Munich-Oktoberfest

Tim and I traveled to Oktoberfest again this year! You would think that we are big drinkers since we have gone the past few years, but really we aren't! I have finally figured out that if I drink "Radlers" (1/2 lemonade, 1/2 beer), I can last survive the night. Plus for someone that doesn't care for beer it's great.

This is one of the many beer tents. In the late afternoon everyone is calm but by sundown everyone is standing on the benches prosting and singing. It is really something to see. Someone asked me if we have an equivalent in the United States and the closest thing I could come up with is Mardi Gras, and I don't even know if that is comparable.



When I think of a German this is the image I get. What a great outfit. Tim and I thought it was really neat that so many of the Germans dress in the traditional outfits. I would say that about 80% are dressed up, even the teenagers and young adults. Next year you may see Tim in lederhosen!

I am not the Maid!

I got tired of constantly finding dishes in the kitchen sink when the dishwasher was empty. I decided to cut this saying out of vinyl and attach it to the sink as a reminder. I came home from work to find the sink full! Tim said Shaughn took all the dishes out of the dishwasher and put them there to get back at me! I am hoping my little message works! The next sign is going to be on the toilet lid that reads, "Aim for the inside and flush please!"

Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wouldn't let the boys open their Valentine's bags unless they let me take their picture. Of course they let me...and with SMILES! They both got candy, headphones for the computer and $10.

Girl's Cruise

Girl's Cruise!! We celebrated Brenda's 50th birthday but taking her on a three day Carnival Cruise. We had the greatest time!

Happy Birthday Brenda!!

Don and Pam's Wedding

January 1, 2011

The Happy Couple

The Table

Our friend Susan, aka Martha Stewart, hosted the wedding at her house. She planned everything but the food. It was unbelievable. Pam and Don were thrilled!

The Cake

I did the cake. It was chocolate with whisky cherry filling and cream cheese frosting. I have to say it tasted pretty good! The bride and groom were happy~

The Wedding Family and Friends

There were 30 people at the wedding.

The Girls!

Us with the beautiful bride!

Best of luck to Don and Pam!

Hagerty High School Homecoming 2010

Homecoming

Hagerty High School 2010

Saturday the boys went to the Homecoming dance. Kirby is in ninth grade and Shaughn graduated last year but his girlfriend is in high school so he took her. He will probably do all the high school stuff this year that he didn't do when he was in school!!

Shaughn and Allison-

Aren't the a cute couple!

Mets-Fall Season 2010

The Mets finished of the season winning 6 games, losing 3 and tying one. All the boys on the team were great and they had a lot of fun this season. I love this picture of Kirb and Anders. Kirby looks so little!! It is hard to believe that both of these boys are in 9th grade. I may have to invest in a stretcher soon!

Hunting 2010-South Dakota

Tim, Kirby, Gramps and Clark did the mens annual hunting weekend again this year! The guys have been doing this for about 19 years now! I think Tim has only missed one year due to Delta recurrent training. Kirby loves this trip and looks foward to it every year while Shaughn quit years ago. It's not his thing.

Notice Tim's shoes?

They fell apart the first day so he ended up duct taping them!

The McCormick Men

Halloween 2010

Kirby got home from Hunting in time to carve the mini pumpkin Shaughn picked up for him. We waited until the night before Halloween to look for pumpkins and all the big ones were gone. Shaughn finally found these at Publix and they were even in the back.

More that anything, Kirby had the most fun hitting his Jack 0 Lantern with the baseball bat when he was finished carving it! I am glad we didn't buy a larger pumpkin.

Oktoberfest 2010!!!!

Oktoberfest 2010

Tim and I went to Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest this year. It took us 24 hours to get there-Orlando-Atlanta-New York-Frankfurt-Munich and 24 hours to get home-Munich-Atlanta-Tampa-Orlando to only have 3 days there!

It was well worth it! We had a wonderful time!

Class of 2010 Graduation

Congradulations Shaughn!

It's offical!

Pitching-Memorial Day Tournament

Kirby did a great job pitching in this tournament.. Unfortunately the whole schedule was messed up from all of the rain delays!

The Bunt

The Force ended up winning this game 12-1!

YEAH FORCE!

Ouch!!

Here was a race Shaughn did a couple of weeks ago. Someone wreaked in front of him and he had no where to go! That was on the first lap! Looking on the bright side, if there is one, at least his brand new tires can be used for the next race! His car is #34, the one with the fluorescent yellow numbers. Anyone want to sponsor a race car??

Kirby's Confirmation

Kirby's Confirmation was last week. We celebrated by eating at Cicic's afterwards (Kirby's choice). It is amazing how fast the children have grown up!

Oma and Opa with Kirby

Our Family

Tays Big Catch

This kids went fishing in the pond and caught Taylor caught the biggest bass! No, this fish was not harmed, it was caught and released. Kirby does not use the "F" word at home. I was not there to wash his mouth out with soap!
