DID ANYONE SAY HOMEMADE LEMONADE?

WHAT IS SUMMER WITHOUT ICE COLD LEMONADE! THEY GO TOGETHER LIKE PEAS AND CARROTS. I REALIZED TODAY THAT I HAVE NEVER INTRODUCED "HOMEMADE" LEMONADE TO MY CHILDREN. THIS WAS A FUN WAY FOR US TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER, AND THEY SOON LEARNED OF MY CHILDHOOD , WHEN THEIR "KAY KAY" MADE IT FOR ME. I TOLD THEM TODAY OF MY MEMORIES OF SUMMERTIME, OF SWIMMING IN MY POOL, AND KAY KAY MAKING US TUNA FISH SANDWICHES AND MAKING HOMEMADE LEMONADE. THOSE TIMES WERE REALLY SPECIAL TO ME. IT MADE ME SO HAPPY THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT IT. I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE CHILDREN WHO APPRECIATE FAMILY TIME. I HAVE INTRODUCED THEM TO ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, AND IN TURN, I HOPE THEY WILL CARRY IT ON TO THEIR CHILDREN. THEY HAD THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIME DOING THIS. CAIDEN, WHO THINKS THAT COOKING IS FOR GIRLS, ENJOYED DOING THIS, AND WOULD DIE IF ANY OF HIS FRIENDS SAW HIM DOING THIS! HE GETS IT HONEST, FROM HIS DADDY!!

WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM





THE NEXT BEST COOKS, FOLLOWING IN MOM'S FOOTSTEPS!


MOM'S LITTLE HELPER










THEY GOT TIRED OF "SQUEEZING"





























SO REFRESHING! THEY LOVED THE LEMONADE, AND HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE DO THIS MORE OFTEN!














A BOYS DAY OUT: CAIDEN AND HIS PAPPAW LARRY

Pappaw Larry is the best Pappaw in the world!
He loves spending time with grand kids. Caiden has always had a special bond with him. He was the 1st boy grandchild born into the Elleman family. Caiden was also named after his pappaw. Pappaw took Caiden and his boy cousins to the Civic Center to The Public Safety Expo. There were many things there pertaining to safety issues. Caiden said that there was police trailers, K-9 dogs, guns. Policing runs in the Ellerman family. Pappaw is a cop, Jerry was a cop for 10 years, and Jerry's brother is a cop. Caiden thinks he would like to be a cop to carry on the Ellerman legacy, but i told him he still has plenty of time to decide on a career! They had a really good time! Caiden was happy to get to spend some time with his pappaw Larry and his cousins! Caiden has been so busy with his baseball friends and rarley has time to spend with his favorite cousin. He was so excited about all the "free" stuff he got!


Christmas time with Pappaw Larry!
