Sun, Sun, Sun....

We had a fun time at the pool... all day long! Yaya... I think I found the squirt tubes you were talking about!! Look how fun! Beckie is showing Ryan how to fill the squirt gun.
A little battle followed... Beckie sneaking up on Sarah in the "kiddie pool" (hot, cold tub)
But look out... Sarah has excellent aim!!
And she means business!!
Beckie and Molly playing boat ride!
Molly learning to kick those feet!

Ryan... a.k.a Power Ranger! He has skills with the bubble wand!!
Molly, the mermaid...
Sarah... the Pink Power Ranger....

"Save me Power Ranger" she called to Ryan. And he would save her. She looks like she needs a lot of saving, doesn't she??

Spring Break... break it up already!!

So Beckie and Don had this trip all planned out. Easter break at the Florida house. Sounds good~~ till Don got a new job, with no time off, so that left Beckie scrambling to find a driving partner. She asked me, I said yes.
WE MADE IT!!
I swore after we drove down our first "girls" only Easter trip that I would NEVER drive it again. You know young people... Let's drive straight through, they say! We did it then but I thought I was going to die. It was torture. We tried it again this year and even Beckie gave in and we did stop and sleep in a hotel for a few hours!! Beckie's friend Gina and her mom, also MiMi, were hot on our tails (about an hour behind us) so we had a schedule to keep!! Gina had her sons Ryan, 5 and Jack, 2 , also with her in their car. All the kids did really, really well!

There was much EXCITEMENT in our car when we hit the Florida state line!! Wooo Hoooo!!!

Molly showing her glee...

Sarah freaking out...
Molly, Jack, Ryan and Sarah, after a late night swim, (after being in a car for 12 hours) having some pizza and movie time before bed!
Stay tuned.... this should be one heck of a good time with these four!!

Congratulations to Matt and Katie... Meigan and Dennis!! Meigan, you are one lucky Nanna!!

Happy Birthday to My Danny Boy


This is Danny.
This is Danny acting business- like for my camera.
This is Danny.
This is Danny acting way more like the person he really is...
I gave birth to my first son, Danny, on March 28th, 1985 at 10 o'clock in the evening. He came 2 weeks late. We could not have been happier that night! He was and is, a gift from God, that Daniel John of mine! Happy Birthday Danny. I am so very proud to be your mom. I wish you love on this your 25th birthday and I wish you many, many more Happy Birthdays!! I can't wait for the first cookout at your house using your new grill!! xoxoxo

Its a Hard Knock Life

What a crazy nature day here at my house. It starts with this bird...

He attempts to fly into the window...
and back to the bush,
takes a second look,
and leaps again!
He has been at it for 3 days now. I have shut the blind, put a stuffed animal there and still he doesn't give up!!

Then, this morning, look who lands on our deck! A friendly little fellow,
who waddled across the pool cover to the railing,
and began to cry to his sister/brother/mate who was sitting on the top of my house - crying right back!
The one up there started to pace back and forth... oh, what to do?
so we shoo-ed the one on the railing off and off he flew....
with his partner right behind him!
All of this, much to the delight of all of us!!
