Things you find in your yard when you wake up in the morning....

More pictures from the beach

This is the hole that Thomas dug and then put himself in it.

Thomas on his skin board. He loves that thing! It is old and about ready to retire.

This is pretty much what Taylor did for almost all of the pictures that I tried to take of him.

But I did get this picture of the "Big Foot" walk. (My boys are big "Big Foot" fanatics!)

Here they are on one of the last two nights, looking for shark teeth. Thomas found one, and then the competition was on. They were very hard to get. I did end of getting one. The boys found more than a few.

Bird on the pier.

Getting ready to ride Go-Carts.

The last morning before we left.

These are the shark teeth that Taylor found.

These are the ones that Thomas found.

It was a great trip, but it is soooo good to be home!

Happy 4th of July, from the beach!

Paradise!

Kenny Chesney

Last week, Thomas had his last major league baseball game in Spring Hill, Closing Ceremonies, and the end of the year party for the team (complete with pizza and awards).



Now the Santa Fe summer baseball league has started up and guess who is the sponsor of our team?





THE KENNY CHESNEY BAND!!!

The dad of one of the boys on our team plays in Kenny Chesney's band, so they are sponsoring our team. The boys were very excited!

Last Friday night was our 2nd game, and Thomas hit a home run and won the game (7-6)!

After 25 years, IT'S OVER!

What a sad day for our family this past Saturday!

This was Brian's baby back in the 80's.

This was in the 90's.

This was last Saturday. (Even the dog was sad!)

We all said our "goodbyes" and shed a tear or two.

Take good care of it, PC!

My new addiction

Little bit of everything

HELLO SUMMER TIME! Thank you Cheryl and Jerry. We are enjoying the pool soooo much!








HEY, HEY, HAY........

Sweet Kitties! (Well not so for the one in the back who, along with his dog friend, wiped out a batch of baby bunnies the other morning! Bad, Bad, kitty!)

Thomas on third base, after he hit a triple, in his SH game the other night.

Look! We have blueberries!

"Synchronized Swimming", No - "Synchronized Basketball". Is there such a thing?

Brian oldest ride! (Will he ever just let it go?) He has had it FOREVER!

Brian's newest ride. This was his Daddy's truck.

The past two weeks...

Our big buddy came back to visit. Why Zaida is licking her lips, I don't know. That turtle could probably eat her!


This is what happens when you are going to town and you pass a big mower/bush hog on the side of the highway and it just happens to throw something your way...

This is from the inside, looking out.

This is Thomas at his SF Baseball end of the year party.

Preschool is over for me this year. Thank you for the memories, all of my little friends!

I did get a wonderful surprise the last week of preschool - I got to meet the very famous Melissa from Stretch Marks! I have been a big fan of her blog for some time now and it was so nice to finally meet her. She is amazing!

I also got to meet Jaime Jamgochian, a Christian singer and song writer. She is very good friends with one of my preschool moms. I received her CD as a gift, and I love it! She has a very beautiful voice.

School is now over for the boys this year also, except for picking up report cards. The boys have both done great! Taylor made the basketball team again for next year, and I can not wait for the games to begin! Thomas is going to try out again in the Fall, and hopefully he will make it this time.

We have 3 more weeks of baseball, and basketball camps are about to start up. Taylor has several in June (one at Belmont College) with the SF team. Thomas has one in July at SF.

This is a little friend who came to visit last night, probably out of our field that was being raked for hay.

Last Saturday's Visitor

Last Saturday when Thomas and I got back from his basketball game, we had a visitor. He has visited us once before, in May of last year.

Brian says that he is a snapping turtle, but he seems very friendly!

I guess Zaida thinks we have a new pet, and she is probably wondering why we did not consult with her first.

He visited with us for several hours and then headed back down to the pond.
