DADDY-O


We had Father's Day dinner at our house this year. We had chicken wings and tenders, rice, salad, fruit and cookie ice-cream sundaes for dessert. We played some Scum too. Overall it was a fun night!!

This is my dad. I thought I'd share a few tidbits about him since we recently celebrated Father's Day. He is definitely a "if it's not broke, don't fix it" kind of guy. For most that would work but you see he has chosen to reside with my mom who, to say the least, is always looking for something to change or update. That's where his easy going attitude comes in, for he just does the things that make my mom happy even though he sees no sense in it. He's also a "pull my finger" prankster. We can't go anywhere to eat w/o the cheesy waitress jokes. He still won't get popcorn at the movie theatre because once I asked him why he bought a medium size when we could have gotten a large with a free refill and shared it. "Can't a grown man have his own popcorn" it's a joke now but jeez, it seemed sensible then. Anyway he's a great dad who had to endure having four daughters and finally got a son when they adopted my cousin Robert. He's always worked hard and sacrificed for his family. Now he's a grandpa and enjoying his grand kids(preferably in small doses,right?)

Twilight teaser trailer OFFICIAL HD

I have this strange feeling that we're going to have a girls night out in December. I just can't figure out why though. I know it's obvious- staring you right in the face. In case there's any of you girls out there that have yet to read this book, please do by then because you'll want to join us. If you need to BORROW the book please walk, don't run on over and I will be happy to oblige.

COOL IN THE POOL





If you would have asked me a year ago if we would ever have a pool, the answer would have been no, yet somehow we ended up with this big plastered hole taking up residence in our backyard. I can't tell you when or why the decision was made, the kids even voted dog over pool, but we now have a wonderful addition to our backyard. At 74 degrees I have yet to brave the waters, but the kids have been floating around all week in it. We did however heat the spa up tonight and had a good relaxing soak.So pictures were requested and pictures you shall get. Mind you the landscaping has yet to come, we are going to do it ourselves so any pointers or volunteers will be appreciated. I'm looking forward to spending the summer lounging by the pool, barbecuing, and enjoying having friends join us for both.
