Life since 2010

Well was feeling pretty down today so I thought I would go back and see where things went wrong.  Unfortunately with facebook came the end of the blog.  I regret that.  So I am going to end facebook for the most part and revive the blog.  I am going to do this for me but if anyone is interested feel free to check in and see what is going on.  You don't need to comment as that is the problem with facebook.  You see too much of what other people do, say and post on others statuses and not on yours.  So there it is. 

The Lost Pictures of 2009

Wow even Geraldo Riveria would proud of this find!!!! While time was marching on in 2009 so was my camera. Upon close inspection 259 photos of the end of the year 2009 were found. I knew they were there but in the hustle and bustle of every day life they slipped through the cracks but patiently waited to be revealed! Hope you enjoy what has been in the archives of my camera...

Two Monumental Birthdays!

In the last two months two members of our clan celebrated monumental age accomplishments...that's a nice way to put it;-)

First Daddy had his 75th birthday in August...




A wish come true...yay!!!
And he got lots and lots of yummy cookies from Sarah and Keely to satisfy his sweet tooth until his next birthday!

Next it was Sarah's turn to hit the record book..


It was Sarah's 50th...the cake was much prettier before we got hold of it!


Wow she doesn't look a day older that she did last year ;-)


Patiently waiting to open her presents!!!


Liam added a country flair wearing Granddaddy's hat! He loves to
"sing" happy birthday


The cake may look like road kill but it definitely didn't taste like it!

Here's to many more birthdays!!!!

He is all smiles and coos...
I'll definitely will have to post often as he will be sitting up and crawling before we know it!

First an Apology!

I am so sorry I have not gotten to the blog in soooo long. I think about it often. But school has started etc etc etc. So I have made a challenge to myself to get back on track and post often..otherwise the blog will die and I don't want that to happen.

Soooo here we go!!!!!
