Bob the Frog

Yesterday Daddy came home with a HUGE frog for Bugs. Heir Apparent and Roommate and Girlfriend came over for a while in the afternoon. They had been out for his birthday lunch. You did know his birthday is a National Holiday - right? no? hmmmm you didn't get the memo.

Dh and Bob


Girlfriend and Bob. She's upping her chances. Just in case.

People pile!
Girlfriend, Heir apparent, Roommate and Monkey and Scout.

Scout is really not sure about Bob.

Bob was released back into the wild, down at our pond right after this. Much to my relief.

Happy Saturday. Peace

Heir Apparent

Happy Birthday Son. He was born at a whopping 10 lbs 8 oz. 22 inches long. I had read every book and knew all I needed to know, THEN they wanted me to bring him home! I told the nurse you had to take a test to drive what the heck was wrong with people to just send babies home with people! We brought him home and we all survived. It made a huge difference that I had the "good" baby first. He slept and was very happy when he was awake.

He loves to fish and hike and all things sports.


I texted him last night and told him he was now closer to 30 then 20 and he said that made ME very old. I called him a butthead. :) We love this boy.


Happy Birthday son.


Peace

Wordless Wednesday

Looks like he made it!

We are so proud to announce that Bryant has completed all the requirements and passed all his tests for his GED. He said he would do it and he did. Way to go Son.

It's all fun and games until an eye gets poked out.

It has cooled down 30' today. No rain... yeah! Anita came up and visited us today and brought her little men with her. I am so thankful for this girl. She has been such a blessing this year and has come so often I can almost trick myself into believing she lives closer then she does. I'm pretty sure it's my turn to go down there next time.

Bugs and Anita and baby Eli.

This is the baby version of "How you doing?"

Uncle Carmen and Eli making goo goo eyes.

Uncle Carmen was the BEST EVER tonight as he made a bon fire for many small boys! They had so much fun and so much stickiness!

Trying to be patient and waiting until it was just right. Think the neighbors minded the smoke?

Walker hoping someone would drop something delicious.

Monkey eating his smore and Lee gave his to his brother, he was done.

Can you guess the secret? (Anita's mouth is full) Eli wasn't into the fire but Ian LOVED his smore!

Bugs finishing his.

Monkey gave up on the whole mess and just wanted the marshmellow.

Seconds anyone??

My hands are sticky!

Daddy doing it 2 fisted style.

Dru liked the idea but not the mess.

It was so nice seeing the boys this visit and now that I'm not in a fog it was really good to see Anita. I hope everyone had as nice a day as us. Peace

I am just going to get these thoughts down

• I'm so thankful for my DH. He has been a trouper for 3 weeks and I wouldn't have made it without him.
• I'm also grateful that he is committed to our marriage. I helped a friend today who's husband wasn't and it's so painful to watch her struggle. There just isn't any words to say to make it different for her.
• I am so thankful there are people who are called to be youth leaders, I'm so thankful I'm not one of them.
• I'm glad that summer is coming and school is almost out.
• I wish we could could go somewhere again this year.... but not happening. bummer!
• And just because it's my blog and I can write what I want, I want a new car. Just saying.

Anyway have a lovely warm and sunny weekend. Peace

Not wordless Wednesday.

I was hoping to get some great pictures of hummingbirds today for Wordless Wednesday. They didn't show up. Sooooo on to plan B.
It has been so warm and beautiful and I am loving it. I do wish we had AC in our house but you know summer is so short I think we will live. Fans moving the hot air around do help. The garden is doing great. A few more days of this nice heat and sun and we will be eating fresh strawberries and raspberries. Heir Apparent put a patio tomato in a pot on the deck and the cats peed on it and killed straight away. dumb cats. The squirrels will not leave the carrots alone in the garden. Heir apparent has talked of a gun, this is serious folks. Critters REALLY need to stay out of the garden.
I got tagged by Lea and her Mustangs and here are my random 6 things......

1. I love to use the "good" dishes

2. I think most things can be made right with popcorn and peanut M&M's.

3. I LOVE to read.

4. I really don't like cooked greens. In a salad they are fine, cooked? not so much.

5. I do not cry at movies. Really.

6. I believe in miracles.

Everyone has been tagged already so I won't pass it on, but I can't wait to read your 6 things.
Peace
