Happy 70th!

Happy 70th Birthday to my Mom! She's a super-spry MeMaw, who still works because she wants to, loves taking care of Joe on Friday nights, is a great helper at our church & never passes up a shopping trip! We love you, Mom!

Here's the birthday girl herself! I think she totally doesn't look 70 at all!!

Joe was happy to help his MeMaw unwrap her gift...a "Shabby Chic" bathroom shelf.

Happy Birthday, Mom!!! I love you!!!

Moving is Hard Work

As most of you know, we've spent the last week moving. It was hard to leave that sweet little bungalow, but we'd just outgrown our space there. So now we've got a great brick home that's big enough for all of us and perhaps more (someday?). :) I'll post some pics soon of all we've been doing in the house. We've been without internet until today, and blogging from my phone was NOT an option. I may be techno-savvy, but I'm sure as heck not that techno-genius! Check back soon!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Our Vacation

Hello All! We took off last Tuesday for a last minute getaway to Fairfield Bay Resort on Greer's Ferry Lake. That's about 30 miles north of Conway, AR for those of you not from around here! We went with Dan's parents, brother & our 2 nephews. It was a nice relaxing time, especially needed since we are about to be knee-deep in moving to a new house (more on that in my next post).

Here are a few pics from our little getaway! Enjoy!

The 3 cousins enjoying some vintage Tom & Jerry cartoons via dvd.

These hummingbirds were feeding outside of Blanchard Springs Caverns Guest Center. I counted at least 20. Amazing!

A view from inside the caverns while we were on the "Dripstone Tour." Joe screamed the whole time, btw, since it was past lunch & naptime. Did you know caves are really great echo chambers???Joe & his Mimi playing out behind our condo.

Me & my Grubby!Dan, Ross (my father-in-law) and I went fishing on the lake. We didn't catch much, but I did get a rockin' sunburn! Ahhh, nothing like being out on the water...

Ross, our family fishing guide

Me & the one that didn't get away- a Pumpkinseed. Not too big, but very pretty! However, I think my "guide" is non-plussed. :)

We had a wonderful time and I'm so glad that we went. It will certainly be the only vacation we'll have this year with the impending move! But more on that later....stay tuned!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Dan is a great dad. He is such a wonderful example for Joe and I. We couldn't ask for a more hardworking, diligent, kind, thoughtful or special person in our lives. I miss my dad, and Dan helps me remember those traits of a good father. We love you!!

Happy Father's Day!

Summertime Smiles

We have been fulfilling our wishes of being outdoor with Joe whenever possible this summer. Here are a couple of cute photos I've taken recently.

Nothing's more fun than holding a stick while sitting in a tree...



My cutie pie!
Sometimes we can only make it outside to the front porch, but at least we're outside!

I'll post more summer fun pics soon! Hope everyone is having their own summer fun, too!!!
