Wayne was being silly and sat on my lap....hey it turned into a great photo!!

Family photo #2

Thanks again Donavan!! As always you did a wonderful job!!!!

Outside bubbly fun!!

A couple of weekends ago when the weather was so nice I spent some time outside with the kids. Kara was dying to blow some bubbles she scored at a birthday party for Ryan. We went out front and had a blast blowing bubbles and running around.

She loves to pose...well sometimes
My sweet Michael....

Hanging with Daddy

so relaxing...
He was saying "bubbles..."

she's beautiful!

darn tree stake....

I'm not sure why Kara is blowing bubbles at the For Sale sign.

We had to swing around in circles..

...and Michael had too also!! I was very dizzy afterwards but it was fun!

Life has been crazy and stressful lately and it was a nice break to let go for a bit and enjoy the warm sunshine with the kids.....they really make me happy!!

Just a little bit more......

.....and you've got it!I came across this old picture of Kara. It was taken back when we were in the apartment still. She wasn't even 1 years old yet. I love this picture..it reminds me that no matter how far out of reach something might be there is always a way to get it if you try hard enough!!

Happy Veteran's Day

Just wanted to say Thank You to all the Veteran's out there.

Here's our favorite Veteran.....Tim

Just want to wish you a very happy birthday little brother!
