Trip to NE

My brother and I made a trip out to NE to see my dad, his wife Carol and her son Daniel. We always eat WAY too much, play too many games, and laugh too hard when we get together! But, somehow we never want to leave when it comes time to! I have really grown to love my dad's new family. They are so welcoming and show us nothing but love while we are visiting! Thanks dad, Carol and Daniel for the fun times together! It was a blast!

I have got the best MIL!

My mother in law stayed with us for a few days and it was wonderful! She is so much fun to be around and is so nice to my kids! When she is here, we play alot of games together! Super fun! We also have a tradition of going to the Olive Garden when we get together for their soup, salad and bread sticks. Brian watched the kids so we could go enjoy lunch kid free. We can talk about anything and everything and like to laugh alot. I consider myself to be extremely blessed when it comes to the mother in law that I have! I couldn't have handpicked a better one myself! And Sharon- I know you don't like having your picture taken, but I am thankful for this one and the happy memory it brings me! Love you!

Here is Brian with his mom. Love this picture!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Brian! I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life and now to see what a great father you are just makes me so happy! You are so patient, giving, and loving. I hope each of our kids will grow up and have the same great qualities that you have. You are such a great example of what a father should be. I love you!

Summer fun day

My kids love to go to a nearby park where they can cool off and play in the shooting water. Just a few of my favorite pictures from the day!

Just my size!

Finally a shoe my size! Whoo hoo!! This is how I feel every time I go shoe shopping. Wearing a size 11 just plain stinks sometimes... I guess that is where all of my brains went to-- My FEET! (as you can tell from this picture... ) LOL
