Great genes!

The in-laws are off to Europe this Sunday. They will be gone for about 7 weeks. My sister in law is a published writer and is writing ANOTHER book. So she's off to Paris for her research. They wanted to get the family together before they leave. Here's a photo of all the grandkids. As my M-I-L always quotes "the fruitage of the belly is a reward"... all of these kids are just too amazing for words. I love my kids cousins, they're awesome!

Has it really been 6 months????

Memorial, 2011. They are getting BIG! This is Dylan's first time wearing a suit. He was so excited to look like Daddy, Gavin and Luke.

Man, I'm so bummed I have let my blog go to pot. I don't keep a writing journal and this blog is the only way I can express myself and tell my kids about our adventures together. I'm sure they will love reading it when they get older. Making memories and writing them down. I think it's important. I will try to keep up again, but life has been SO busy lately and so much has happened and gone on in the last 6 months. I'm not even sure I can catch up. Let's start fresh!

In my usual character why don't I start by complaining...hahaha. I'm getting soooo worried about the hot weather that is upon on.

The last two days have been gorgeous. Why can't I just stop and enjoy them instead of worrying about how hot it's going to be in a matter of time.

I think I might actually try to do this sometime this summer. I have never done it to see if it really works. The kids would get a kick out of it if the egg actually fried.

I need to slow down, and smell the roses, so to speak.

These are from our backyard, they smelled awesome!

Two more weeks left of school...EEK!!! I have a love/hate relationship with school.
