Sleep Over

Lily and Forrest getting ready for bed. This night they sleep on their great-grandmother's bed. Lily likes to walk on the rail at the end of the bed just like I did as a little girl....

Max is Eleven!

Max is now eleven! I cannot believe it! He and his friends are going to the movie The Avengers today. I will celebrate with him tomorrow. Will try to get a picture of him, but, it is hard these days!

The Birds

I love watching the birds each day! The cardinals are so beautiful, but the wrens are the most
fun to watch as they fight each other for the prime spot on the bird feeder. They also are very
astute to the feral cats, and flee when the cats appear....gone in a flash!

Max

I can hardly get a picture of this boy. He turns his head or dodges me some way!
I know when he is grown, he will ask why I have more pictures of Lily and
Forrest. It's because he is too fast for me!

For Ernestine

I have not felt inspired to post anything. I feel like I do not have anything exciting to say.
One of my first online friends asked me to post more, even if it was a picture...
I can do that. Knowing that one person would like to see a glimpse into my life, I
will try.....Maybe more will follow.....


Forrest's badge for racing in the Pinewood Derby!

Shelby

My sweet Shelby girl went to doggie heaven on October 20, 2011. I have not been able to write about it.
She was my velcro dog. At home, she was right by me....always! It has been very lonely without her.
I miss her so much.

Soccer Saturday!

I went to Forrest's soccer game Saturday. The weather
was beautiful. They played as well as they could since,
as Kevin said, they were playing 5 foot first and second
graders!!!




I had to get this picture since it was The Space Shuttle!
Kevin and I loved the Space Shuttle launches when he
was a kid, and now his kid was playing on one!

Forrest Is Seven!! Amy is One Year Older and I am Well, 64!!!

Max disigned a Lego Happy Birthday for us!


Forrest and the Sponge Bob cake!


His party was at Laser Quest....He loves that game!
Q-Bert was the big winner that day!


I give you Q-Bert. Little boys never grow up! aka Uncle Brian


We three with our cakes.....thanks Aunt Shannon!!!!

Happy Birthday 2011

The Birthday Tradition.....
The indulge me this moment...
The Birthday Photo!!!



My boys have had another birthday! They share a birthday, but, are not twins.
When they were younger, and Brian was noticeably older, when we mentioned
their shared birthday, I was amazed that people would think they were
twins. Now, that they COULD be confused as twins.....no questions.



Max played Happy Birthday
on the iPhone while we sang.....

Vacation 2011

I am not a timely blogger. I went to the beach in July,
and have been meaning to post about it. Where does
the time go?

My baby son....haha. Well, he is! Not one for pictures, but, he
agreed to one shot! No makeup for me....it's the Beach!!
I still love it, mostly standing so close to my baby!



My beautiful DIL....relaxing in the
afternoon on the beach!


Lily examing a shell...she loves to find
shells, but, not as much a her mom.



Forrest after playing in the sand all day...
He got too much sun...



A beach visitor...Lily wanted to walk
right up to him. I did get a picture
of her fairly close to him.....
