Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband.

How do I begin to tell you how the boys and I feel about you. We love you with everything we are and for everything that you do for us. You are a wonderful father and husband and I am so thankful that God chose you for us. Thank you for teaching our boys how to live and love. We love you.
Bryson, Carter and Me

We had a fun day today. The kids woke up and wrote out their father's day cards, gave Joe his presents and then we went to lunch. Joe picked ofcourse! We then went bowling and now Joe is off playing some golf. I think he had a great day as I know the boys and I did. Happy Father's Day Babe I love you.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to my dad. He has been a wonderful father and I really am happy I was blessed to be his daughter. Thanks dad for all that you do and being there for me whenever I need you. I love you.

I am having an affair....

with my camera. I love it and I have a hard time going anywhere without it.

I saw these pretty lilies on the way to walmart and decided this would be the perfect spot to pull on the side of the interstate to get a wonderful picture.

We only had one car stop and ask if we needed any help. "Nope, I said just taking pictures!" These pictures didn't come out as good as I had hoped. The reason being it was very foggy that morning at 8am. I had to keep wiping the condensation of the lens. I am going to try again another morning.

I broke down and took the camera to the pool yesterday. I had so much fun taking pictures of the boys and their friends.

These are my sunflowers in my backyard. They just opened their pretty little faces on Thursday.

I love the blur on Bryson and Kate in the back ground. It has taken a bit of practice to get the blur just the way I like it and I still can't do it every time. If practice makes perfect I should be there any day now.

What a cutie!

Kate and her family came over again today to swim. They are moving tomorrow and Carter will forever be changed and heart broken. He really does love Kate and will miss her dearly.

Their last kiss for now.

He leaves her wanting more. Typical man already huh?

Last Day of School and First Day of Summer

Yesterday was Bryson's last day of school.

Bryson had a great last day of school....he slept in till 8! That's right our doorbell rang at 8am and we all jumped out of bed. That was Bryson's first time being tardy. Best to go out with a bang huh? I didn't even know what slips to fill out at the school.

Bryson was also a high flyer today!

Something that has been quite hard the past few months. Our little guy loves to talk to other kids. Carter and I went up to Bryson's school to play some board games. We also took his teachers their end of the year gifts. They loved them. When I went out shopping Bryson gave me specific requests, to pick out a candle, lotion(so they would smell nice), and a flower. I didn't get the flower..I did even better, I bought a whole plant. Bryson loved the gifts as did his teacher and the teacher's aid.

Ms. Anderson his Teacher

Mrs. Tuttle the Aid

This is Mr. Morris and he was a good friend of ours.

This is Dr. Bob the principal.

This is Anthony. He's Bryson's partner in crime.

Today was the first day of summer. We had a great day and spent a good part of it at the pool. No pictures though I left my camera safely at home.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

When friends become family..

We had a get together last night. We had 6 families come over and bid farewell to the Jenkins family. They have a little over a week left but with the move coming up and their lists of things to do a mile long last night was a great night to have it. Everyone had a great time and we will miss Staci, Kirk, Kate and Luke so much.

I forgot to take a picture of Joe manning the girl but he cooked meat for 6 families. He cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken breasts, frozen chicken breasts, and chicken breasts with bones in them. Every family brought their own meat so there were a few different things to cook.

Here are a few pictures from the night.

Have you ever met a Celebrity?

We are lucky enough to have one living with us. Carter made the front page of Friday's paper. The picture is so larger I wanted to see just how big it was. The measurements are 12 inches long and 7 1/2 inches wide. Now that's what I call making the front page.

"Do you work for the Newspaper.....

....or is that just a really fancy camera?"

This is what I was asked today while I was at the pool. I felt pretty darn special after that. I think I might look pretty professional huh? I decided to take the boys down there for their first swim of the season. We have been swimming at our house pool but this was the first public pool of the season. Our other good friends are moving to Korea. They leave tomorrow so I had to go take some great photos and boy did they turn out great. I will post a few of my newest shots.

These are the pictures I took on day 1. You can click on any picture to make it larger.





Here are some pictures of Day 2 at the park with Kate and Carter. Kate and her family move to D.C. in less that 2 weeks. Carter is really going to miss his Kate. Joe is really going to miss his bud Kirk and I am going to miss my coffee partner. The next time we see them little Luke won't be a baby anymore.






Are good friends the Parker's are moving to Korea tomorrow. Their son Brayden was on our tee-ball team. The oldest son's name is Mitchel Bryson so they call him Bryson. It's fun hanging out with them because her Bryson is older and my Bryson is younger we call them big and little Bryson. We are going to miss them terribly and hope to see them again soon.

Look what i finally got....a new camera.

Here is a glimpse.
