Tomorrow we are saying goodbye

to a dear friend...













































































You will be missed, Brandel.

it doesn't seem possible...

but I guess it can be done!

the neighbors

I have the best looking neighbor-

But he sure throws some wild parties!

In the summertime...

there are better things to do than blog!
:p













Come on out and watch the balloons take off!

My boy...

came home from California for a visit, and brought his wife and daughter. This is the first trip they've been able to make home since Katie was born. Most of my brothers and sisters and their kids all got together to meet her. Everyone but the out-of-staters made it.
It was a beautiful day.

Don't you hate it when...

you break your arm on the last week before summer vacation starts?

:(

Did you ever...

squish a rhino with your bare hand?
