these are the happiest days of my life. how do i slow them down??

golf camp

Ok, so the kids have "golf camp" at brandons work.
Which is totally awesome, because now i have hours to get my work done!!

Brandon just called with an update.. he is able to check in on them now and then.
Evidently, my son, is calling the instuctors "mr and mrs penis head"

um. ya.

They straight up told brandon that "your son is insane"
on the upside.. he is also "their favorite"

Today was dress like a prince/princess. The closest thing we had to that was a dragon costume. Brandon said he could see him out on the course golfing with his dragon costume on. how cute is that!?? I guess he didnt want to take it off. so funny!!
=)

but really.. holy hell.. what am i going to do with this boy!??

This golf camp is really cool, and i am so glad they get to do it. Its half golf half swim (um.. warmest most awesome pool ever) But.. man , do i feel awkward pulling up in my battered vehicle that whistles, and my not so preppy dressed kids, and ... i forgot to wear my hip workout clothes to drop them off! damn!!

ok! back to work !!!

PS> i forgot to mention , he bit his teachers butt on the last week of school. for reals???

Kindergarten Graduation!!!!!!!

my sexy man

***tear drop

well, i made it all week. k graduation, last day of school, without a tear. at the end of today, juniper gets her piggy bank, empties it into a baggie, writes "mr sam" on it, and says,

"mommy, mrs cronin says we should give money for the people loosing their jobs. Mr m. lost his job, but he got a big giant job. a different job. mr sam didnt get a job yet. a lot of teachers are getting their jobs taken away. Mr sam cleans up the classroom when we go home. and he decorated for our graduation. lets go bring this to the school right now and give it to mrs cronin!"

I didnt think anyone would be there 4 hours after school was out,but we walked down there anyways. sure enough.. theres mrs cronin in her classroom.

on the walk home, holding my baby girls hand in mine, watching her skip along, face painted, purse draped over her arm, my little pony necklace on, polka dot baby legs, her little knobby knees, salt water taffys...a smile on her face...

. a tear. escaped . me.

Thunder!!!

my faithful little mac

well, my little trooper of a mac mini is finally getting really pissed at me. Its just too much for him to take. i need a new one. but i love my little white box with an apple on top .
First off, it has sentimental value, secondly, it enabled me to launch into a digital revolution, and second, I love that I have made it this far with my biz with the little thing. The amount of downloading, photo programs, uploading, transfering, burning, raw file converting, etc this little guy has had to undergo is .. just.. wow! what a computer! And, im sure it will continue to do the job for quite a while, until I can afford the imac. Hey.. at least I can write it off now! =) yay!

happy belated memorial day!!!!

my daniel came home!!!

i love this crazy man. BBQ pictures can be found HERE

blackbird singing in the dead of night...

take these broken wings and learn to fly.....

view from jeni's passenger side window.. the last few remnants of the garage sale on blackbird way =( bye bye house. I will forever remember your sixth grade sleepover, playing pool with the boys, stenciling your walls with butterflies, raiding your closet in HS, visiting you preggers with clayton.. **sigh
