Just Stuff...

Random, no reason, just because.

James loved putting on the ugly little 'bootie' thingies for the Parade of Homes. Just me & him went. He said it was our "date" :)

My favorite master bedroom of all the homes we went in.

Beautiful Jess

Jessica & her boyfriend, Paden.

Laughs

This photo makes me happy on SOOOOOOO many levels :)

Chylanne stuffed James's hedgehog down into this sock, & he broke out into a belly laugh that he couldn't control. It was so dang funny!

And She's 16....

Sometimes I have to shake my head & do a double take, to figure out if it's real or not. Where did all the time go? I love you Jessica.

The Kids...

First Day of School -
Ashlynn 6th Grade
Chylanne 7th Grade (yes, she is the tallest now...)
Jessica 11th Grade

Me & my little kindergarten boy snuggling while we wait for his bus :)



Chylanne... Is she really 13 now?

Sunday in the mountains

Last Sunday was beautiful. Sunny & warm, but not too hot. The mountains were cool, and we decided to take a drive up there for the afternoon.

I didn't feel well at all that morning, but I think somehow there's a little magic in nature. Amazing how much better I felt after spending a few hours up there.

Week in Denver

Friday - We spent the day with my sister, Amy, went swimming, BBQ'd & played with sparklers.

I am a good driver. He just had issues that day.

I'm 36. Oh dear...

Guess we all have to have them, huh. I say let's just get rid of adult birthdays. What's the point anyway? :) The family took me to Outback for dinner. Got sung to very very loudly by the staff, of course. That's always fun & makes you feel stupid. Then then whole restaurant clapped afterwards. Oh yay.

Woke up this morning to a bazillion balloons all over the floor, banners, streamers, & a decorated table. It also included my "princess" stuff... pictured below, of course!

Got 2 dresses, earrings, & a beach dress/coverup for swimming. I feel spoiled. Thanks guys :)

All of us at Outback last night - - -



What I woke up to this morning:




My princess stuff :) I even got a wand! Yay!


Well, this is me with my bday dress on this morning, & hopefully that silly little crown I'm gonna have to wear in a few minutes will help me not look so serious? Sheesh! lol

All my princess birthday rings!

I dig the heart glasses. I think I'll wear them on our trip to the water park :)

Making my birthday wish - Any guesses?Mmmmmm..... Had to taste just a little bit of each kind! :)
