More pics of my 1 year old nephew...

The Birthday Boy! Tyler Julian!

Happy 1st Birthday Tyler Julian!

We celebrated Tyler's first birthday with a big celebration at Kel and Rich's house.


Which also means that 1 year ago... Nick and I were in Poland!

No worries...

As a mother of a teenager, I say no worries in comparison to my sister and her THREE boys.
One has been sitting in his room all morning cause he refuses to wear underwear... another is yelling and screaming and hitting and demanding everyones attention.

Meanwhile the oldest asks, "Mom, was it a lot easier to be a Mom when you only had me?"
BINGO!




I thought I was going to have a really relaxing day, (Ali comes home from camp tomorrow.) I am on my way to the mad-house. aka... my sister's!

What time is it?

You know who you are...
I hope you're joining me at this time!

8th Grade Graduation!

Can you believe it? What a beautiful daughter!

Confess...

Who are you?
Just curious as to who reads my rambling.
I declare it is "National Identify Yourself on my Blog Day."




You must identify yourself now... I just did with one of my best portraits!

8 days...

It took 8 days till the tree found a new home. Notice the dirt marks as the tree was dragged away...
Thank you to whoever took the tree!

What now?

Now, the follow-up... What am I going to do with this tree? Of course, put in the front yard, someones going to pick it up sooner or later.
"Free Tree," who can pass that up? It is Bridge Street!

Yardwork!

Now that schools is out, I have time to work in my yard. We usually camp all summer, but this year we are laying low. My neglected yard needs some "tender lovin care." So, let's start with a successful tree removal...

Summers In!

Schools out for the Summer! I'm amazed I made it through the year... Another one down, and... 30 more to go. That seems forever!
I'll post some highlights of the last 2 months, and promise to update more... later.
