Now that the weather is warmer

The children have been playing outside every chance they get. The other day Bryson dug up a salamander. He kept "Bob" for a couple of days before giving him a kiss goodbye and returning him to his rightful home.

It takes twice as long to gather the family for supper now. They just want to stay outside and play! After being called to the table twice, if they still don't come, Dale is implementing our rule of years ago: "Miss the prayer, miss the meal"! So far we haven't had to use it, thank goodness. There's nothing worse than a tired and hungry child at the end of the day!

Avery joins the club!

Avery has now joined Kenzie in the 200 Club at school! It shows he has been a good role model for others by following the school rules and being a good citizen.
Way to go Bo-Rob!

An After Easter Egg Hunt

My nephew, Mitch, had the great idea of getting the cousins together for an Easter egg hunt this past Sunday evening. Two cousins thought they were too old to participate and another had to work. The rest lined up by the garage door waiting for Aunt Maria to give instructions.
Kassie, Brady and Ashton listen as Aunt Maria reminds them to leave some eggs for the younger children.


Joey and Kaden work together to fill their baskets.

Here they are, looking to see what they got.
Before the egg hunt we had a meal together: ham and chicken salad, Barbecue, hot dogs, veggie tray with dip, chips and dip, baked bean casserole, fruit salad, frog eye salad, deviled eggs and too many desserts to list! Always plenty of food at a Wagner get together!

Thanks for having us Tim and Maria!

A night to remember!

Months ago Shelley asked if I would like to go with she and her friend Jeannette to the opera. Since I had never been before, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to experience some culture! When Dale found out I would be part of a small group of women driving to down town Baltimore, he asked to go along to be our chauffeur and protector! After months of waiting, last night was our night at the opera! On the way down Shelley snuck in some time with her ipod. Ever since seeing Dale's band perform at Arcadia, she just can't get enough of that toe-tappin' Bluegrass beat! LOL!After a quick stop in Westminster to eat, we headed to Baltimore.

Here we are, waiting for the orchestra to begin!


We saw Romeo and Juliette! It was amazing, and the scenery was phenomenal! I really enjoyed myself. Thanks Shelley and Jeannette for arranging our night out! Next time let's do a Broadway show!!
