Happy Birthday!

Happy 13th birthday to my sweet Jim!
Its hard to believe how much he has grown since he came into my life 3 1/2 years ago. Today he is becoming a loving, God fearing young man! Happy Birthday!

Summer Catch Up- Mikey edition

Mikey's summer was full of fun!

Mikey enjoyed playing his 3rd season of baseball.
He is awesome. Batting is his favorite but he is starting to field a little. He was a real trooper when it came time for his dental surgery.
He had 4 teeth removed and a couple capped. Mikey finished out school with his kindergarten graduation. Singing Mr. Sun Ms.Shuss awarded him his certificate. Then it was time for cake. Mikey and Ms.Shuss Picnic Time

I think the highlight of Mikey's summer was meeting the Bird at his awards banquet. Mikey and one of his coaches. 4th of July. Slippin Slide fun! Look BiG BOY UNDIES! Exploring nature. VBS Carnival One cool dude!

Our new family members!

Wow! It's been a while since I've been on here!

We have been enjoying life...So much so that our family has grown!

Back in April Tuck joined our family. Jason found him crossing the road while geocaching.

He was afraid the poor thing would get run over so he brought him home.

He now resides in his own deluxe penthouse sweet!

On Tuesday we celebrated the arrival of Chance!

Chance is a nine week old black lab.

He is sweet as can be.

He is my official foot warmer under my desk.

So at the moment our stats are:

1 dad, 1 mom, 4 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 rabbit and 1 turtle.

Not too shabby!

Wordless Wednesday- Loved across generations

Luke discovered one of my cabbage patch kids from when I was a child. I think he loves her as much as I did.

Farewell dear Camp Puh'Tok

Camp is over for the summer.

Jim and Sarah had an amazing time and

the are both looking forward to going back next summer.

On the last day of camp they had a closing ceremony. Since the camp is based around Indian lore, the ceremony also reflected that. Both of the kids also received a patch for participation. Now, I can wait to get their disposable cameras developed.

Summer snack mix

Here's a quick trail mix we like to make.

It is great to take on hikes or just as a snack.

Mix: Honey Nut Cheerios Pretzels M&Ms Raisins

(sometimes we add other dried fruit also) Mix and enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday- Brothers

Brothers for life.
