My mom spoils me. She bought this cute little black bear for me. :)

July 29

You never know what you'll find in Mom & Jerry's yard! Today, we found a little bird and Marky and Kyrsten (my cousin Jen's 2 youngest kids) loved holding it! :)

July 27

I intended on the pic above to be the "pic of the day"....pic doesn't do it justice. The clouds were such a pretty color....THEN.......

I decided to take a pic of the plant (pumpkin?) growing aside of my steps...again, the pic doesn't really do it justice. The plant is HUGE!! (Almost ready to swallow my house! ;) )...........BUT THEN.......the boys and Dennis noticed the heat lightening in those same clouds I was admiring before...

Click on the above pic and see if you can see the lightening...it's not real easy to see when it's this small.....

And another....click to make bigger.......AND THEN.......Mom called (from 45 minutes North of me) and asked if the sky was putting on a nice show for me. As it turned out, and I always wondered about this...we were both looking at the same part of the sky, even though we are so far apart!! Tried getting another shot, but just never got a "good" one. *sigh*

Looks like an eye in the sky! lol

July 26

Taking a break from swimming for a snack.

July 25

Ahhh.....Summer!

July 24

I took 2 pics today, and this is one of them. Collin wanted a pic of himself jumping out of the water like a rocket. Looks good, Collin! :)

Happy Birthday Polly!

July 22

Making a splash!

(Please, please, someone help me talk Brad into, at least, a trim!)

July 21

My "Pond Boy". LOL

Dennis wanted to make sure the fountain, pump, etc. worked before we start to dig.

It works!

July 20

My newest project. Who wants to help me dig? We bought this pond with a waterfall, the pump, and a fountain from someone on cheapcycle today. I think I know where I want to put it. lol

July 19

We all pooled our money together today to help Brad get the game he wanted so bad. Anyone have any ear plugs I can borrow? ;) lol It's not just for the guitar, you can use the whole band for this one! Eeek!

Happy Birthday to my Aunt Karen today!!

July 18

He's on his own with this one...Trevor got a "new to him" car today and it's in his name and on HIS insurance! YAY! (More affordable than we imagined and my premium came down a lot too!)

For anyone wondering about the pumpkin plant that just grew on it's own.....

IT'S HUGE!! It's also flowering! I had to re-route it so it wouldn't grow over the steps.

July 17

Look!! We have watermelon in the garden!

(Boy, you can really see how rocky the ground is too. Yikes! LOL)

July 16

Ummm....Corey and Collin....there are more chairs to sit on. LOL

(I have to admit, they were really good for me today when they tagged along to my appointments. YAY boys!! This stop was at St. Luke's Miner's Memorial Hospital.)

July 15

Really blurry....can you tell where it was taken?

(I took it while driving tonight)

July 14

Eeek! That is one dirty foot!!

(took this pic yesterday)

July 13

Just randomly snapping pics tonight....

The key ring that holds the key to the gate on the pool.

(Hydra-Tech is where Dennis works.)

July 12

My "pool boy" double checking.....yup....needs more chlorine!

(Maybe a shave wouldn't hurt, either...hint..hint...)

July 11

9:49 PM

The sky is so bright and pretty during a storm. :)

July 10

Poor "Jumpy". Corey had to make him an eye patch today. We're out of super glue, so this will do until we get some.

Happy Birthday Aunt Betty!!

(& Cousin Jason, too!)

July 9

Skittles on her way back down the screen. YIKES!!

A pic from the 4th.... Aunt Linda showing mom a pic that she took with her camera. :)

The Garden....(a little cramped, but I'm learning! lol)

Whatever will grow on this, I'm sure it will be big!

Happy Birthday to my cousin, Lisa!!

July 6

Thanks to E-bay, Dennis has a new toy today (the rototiller).

(He claims it's for me. lol)

My boys asked me to take a pic of the ladybug enjoying the fun noodle in the pool.

I swear, these cukes weren't here yesterday!

Yay! We're growing veggies!!
