Will is a BIG Phillies Fan

He LOVES watching the games with me. He knows all the players!

Let's go PHILLIES!!

Like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

My husband thought it would be funny to give the kids water pistols so that they could squirt Mommy. Yeah, 'cause I can't HEAR him outside telling them how to fill the guns, showing Will how to pull the trigger, and telling them to wait at the front of his truck for me to come around the side of the trailer so that they could "GET ME"!!!

The Ambush.

Return Fire.

COVER MEEEE!!!!!!

So like my kids. Bringing a water-pistol to a HOSE fight.

I Win.

They know me so well.....

Tomorrow is my 44th birthday. Yay me.

The ladies that I work with know me too well. So far, I've received 3 bottles of my favorite wine, an apple crumb pie, and a bunch of gerbera daisies.

I love these people.

What Happens In Vegas.....

Joe is jetting his way to "Sin-City" right now. His friend, Bob, has stage 3 liver cancer. He's done the chemo thing and he's scheduled for surgery on June 12th. Las Vegas with his buddies is on his "bucket-list".

Joe's not a gambler, so he has trips to the Hoover Dam (I've asked him to bring the kids a DAM rock & some Dam water), The Grand Canyon & maybe (if he can find the balls) Skydiving. Him & one of the other guys might drive to L.A. to see the Phils play the Dodgers. Personally, I think thats a silly idea. He can see the Phillies play here and get PAID for it while working in the dugout.

I hope they have a great time and that Bob can break the bank and LIVE to spend it all on his wife & son.

Have a Light Heart

I'm a long-time stalk...ummmmm reader of Chookooloonks. Every Thursday she posts a gorgeous picture of something that reminds her of Love and invites her readers to do the same. I've always wanted to participate, but really? Who wants to see a picture of my kids every week?

The little rip in a lace panel on my kitchen curtain is transformed into a Heart of Light.

Hello Old Friend

First beach pics of the year. I KNOW!! You guys are so excited, right?

Joe was working at the trailer. The toilet broke while we were opening up this year. Some little teensy-weensy metal thingy in the foot-flush pedal rusted out & when we turned on the water, it snapped. For 3 weeks, we had no running water in the bathroom at the trailer.

I am not cut out to be a pioneer woman. I really did not enjoy flushing with a bucket of water.

While he was busy with that, I took the kids to the beach.

Please enjoy the pics of my adorable children.

My children are a little bit INSANE! The water was 52 degrees on Saturday. They did not care. Mag's feet were so red & she said her toes felt "sharp". Must not have been too bad as she stayed in the surf, jumping waves and harassing the seagulls.

Being the bad mother that I am, I did NOT pack a change of clothes for Will. We were only supposed to stay for Saturday, but the weather was so nice, that we decided to stay until Sunday. They really didn't care that they were wet & full of sand.

They both cried when it was time to go back to the trailer for lunch & naps.

Nothing like a day at the beach to induce a 3 hour nap.

Easter Finery

I don't know why the neighbors insist on letting their cats run loose.
Can't they see that it distracts my children when I'm trying to take their picture??
