This sums it up .....

Your Word is "Love"

You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people. Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love. You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love. And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

What's Your Word?


I took a quiz and this is my word....... I think it is pretty accurate.

I took this picture for a particular reason. See if you can find why I took this- it is a test for all of you that are "detail oriented".

Look closely.........

What a view

Here is a view from a trail near our first home in Phoenix, what a site, huh??? If you "double click" on the photo, it will be much larger and you can see more detail.

Jake "reading"

Hey, what can I say, he loves Thomas the Train.................

Today

Today, I am thinking our glass is half full......

Owen's new shoes

We are fortunate to have two boys and with that comes hand me down clothes, toys and shoes for our younger boy, Owen.
Owen learned to walk at about 14 months and since it was winter, I have not bothered putting shoes on him. Since the temperatures are warmer, we decided to go to the park yesterday.
Rob pulled out a pair of really cool, lighted, velcro tennis shoes for Owen and put them on. He had fun walking around with these on. He was stomping around the kitchen, lovin' the noise the shoes made against the floor.......

No, we are not giving our 3 year old coffee....

No, we are not giving Jake coffee, it is just an iced chocolate milk with whip cream ; )

What a life, huh?? Playin' all day, carefree, the biggest decision is whether or not to color with crayons or play with cars??? Ahhhh, to be a kid again- that is why it is so fun to relive childhood through them.......

Although, I am secretly hoping that once he is 16, he'll want to get his first job as a barista, so that Mommy and Daddy can use his Starbucks discount ..... haha!
