Christmas 2008
A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AT THE LEMMO‘S. It was such a great one this year. We had Christmas Eve at our house, all of our Modesto family was here, the Christmas program was put on by Sean and Natalie. After the program we eat, eating is an big tradition in the Lemmo family. We miss Jack this year because he had to work, first time in 30 years. The tradition every year is that all of the kids sleep together. So this year all of the kids went to Jacob and Senessa‘s house. They stayed up and played cards and drank hot chocolate. They were up at 5am, they just couldn't wait. They all jumped in the car and went to our house to see what Santa had brought. Santa spoils the Lemmo’s. This year Santa brought Ruby a wagon. She sat in it for hours while we opened presents. It has two seats, one for her and one for one of her friends, cup holders, an awning to block the sun and storage in the back. I think it took us three hours to open presents, we all sit in a circle and each person opens one presents. It's fun that was because you get to see what everyone gets and it makes it last longer.
Ruby's First Birthday
Jacob and Senessa had Ruby’s first birthday on a Saturday at the club house at there apartment complex. It started at 12 and they had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, cookies, milk and hot apple cider. Family and friends were there and Ruby made out on presents. Ruby’s Yaya and Poppy gave her a table and chairs.
Thanksgiving
Sorry for being so long for blogging. I did start blogging for one reason and was because of using it as my journal. My last blog was at Halloween.
Thanksgiving seen so long ago, it didn’t start out good because my sister Cindy and my mom got into an accident coming to Modesto the day before Thanksgiving. They were on highway 80 going towards Sacramento and it was raining and Cindy went around a curve and hit black ice and went out of control. Cindy did say that she did everything wrong about trying to correct the out of control car. They ended up hitting the guard rail and the car ended up half way in the fast lane and cars and a semi truck just miss hitting them. Cindy was able to move the car onto the side of the highway. Make an long story short they did make it to Modesto later that day, Cindy and my mom were sore from the accident and it ended up that my mom had 2 broken ribs.
Thanksgiving was great we had Ed and Yvonne Bartley there. We had so much fun. Every Thanksgiving as a family we do something fun like singing to acting from musicals to movies and TV shows. The first act of the night was Jacob and I doing the Blues Brothers and it was one of the hits of the night. Second act of the night was Sean, Natalie and Chipper doing a dance routine from Roll Bounce. Third act of the night was Senessa and Chipper doing a skit from SNL Bring it on down to Omeletville. The last act of the night was from Chipper and Freddy and they were doing a skit from SNL too, Freddy was Frank Sinatra and Chipper was Stevie Wonder, It was as good or better than the Blues Brothers that night.
The rest of the Holiday weekend we played game and eat, to much fun.

Halloween 2008
We love Halloween and we always have a party. This year, we started the night at our neighbor's house for homemade soup. We had 5 different soups and Deborah's buns they were good. We had a huge amount of trick-or-treaters and I think we gave out over 150 pieces of candy. Afterwards we ended up at our house for dessert and fun. What made the night was Frank and Freddy who did a routine from SNL about the Chippendale Dancers. Frank was Chris Farley and Freddy was Patrick Swayze. It was the funniest thing I ever seen.
Our Ruby was Tinkerbell and of course she was the prettiest fairy ever! Senessa and Jacob won the award for the most original costumes - Jacob was a Twister Game Board and Senessa was the spinner. Natalie was beautiful as a peacock and Sean won for the funniest costume - he came as a wooppie cushion. Kelley was a blond Cleopatra and Grandma was a foxy Jeannie.
Stevilyn and Brian won for the best overall costumes - they came as characters from the movie Hook. Stevilyn was a Pirate and Brian was dead on and I mean dead on to Rufio. Nick was a super cool Frankenstein and Fred, Deborah and Jack were all Doctors. Fred was McFoxy! Our next door neighbors all came in their pajamas - they came as a slumber party! Chip surprised us and made the party!
Saturday it rained so we stayed inside all day and played games and had nachos for dinner. It made us all look forward to Thanksgiving when we get to spend even more time together.

My 50th Birthday Weekend
My birthday weekend started Friday morning when Jack took Frank and me to breakfast. The three brothers together. Jack is a big part of the Lemmo family and he will always be a brother and a uncle to the Lemmo family. After breakfast Chip had a baseball game and we went to see him play. I can watch Chip play ball every day. Friday night the rest of the family came in and we had pizza and listened to music.
Saturday morning Chip had another baseball game so we went to see him play. After we came home and took a nap, I guess that happens when you turn 50. After we went to the batting cages and Frank and I gave hitting pointers to Jacob, Sean, Freddy and Bryan. Jack was there taking pictures and JT and Jarom were playing games. After the cages we went home and I thought we were going to have a family birthday party for Frank and I and when we got there we were surprised to see our friends Don Clegg, Keith Romick, Brent Briggs and King Jonas Dave Miranda. It was a great night with family and friends. Frank and I are so lucky to have friends that we still keep in contact with after so many years. I consider these friends my brothers and love these guys. I would like to thank Senessa and Jack for getting our friends there. Senessa had some great pictures of Frank and I growing up all over the house. The food was great and the cake was the best. Sunday came and we took it easy and played a game and Deborah and I left Sunday night. Monday Deborah and I took the day off from work and we went to breakfast and took it easy the rest of the day. I’m 50 and I can look forward for the next 50 years. I’m thankful for my family and friends. This weekend was great!

Dreams
It’s October and I’m turning 50 on the 13th. Today I'm thinking about my life. How many of us grow up and have dreams of being a Ballerina, Doctor, Astronaut or an professional ball player. Many of our dreams do not turn out to be one of these professions. I wanted to be an professional baseball player and it didn’t turn out that way. I played enough to be well known in the Bay Area for playing ball. I’m I sad that my dream never came true? No. Do I like what I have done in my career? Mainly yes. Being an professional baseball player would have been great but would I have my family, probably not. Having dreams can be healthy because you can strive for your dreams and if it doesn’t happen other opportunities can come through our dreams. My dream at my age now is to live long enough to see my grand children grow up and hear about there dreams and see their dreams . May our dreams kept us happy.
