These were two of the pic's from this year's Best of National Geographic.... sometimes I totally feel like that poor turtle - Teags thinks he looks "scared to death"! So, we are dealing with pinkeye this week in Teagyn- it's not very fun! But hoping it will clear up in a the next few days- we are supposed to be hanging out with Chris' family this weekend, they are coming into town, so here's hoping! HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND ALL!

Happy Father's Day, DADS!!!




Happy Father's Day to the two most important dads in my life! I hope this day ends up being a good, relaxing day for both of them.... we were planning on golfing this morning, but the weather is not all that nice- so I think we are just going to watch some golf on TV- which I'm sure my dad is doing also, and then have a nice dinner....

I love you Dad- I think you are the strongest person I know, and an all around saintly guy! Happy Father's Day to you!!!

Missing my family....


I was just reminiscing and missing my family today, after hearing that my sister Amy is good to go- I am so happy and thankful for my wonderful family and sisters.... So, I found this ancient picture (haha) and put it on, since I don't really have any others with Grammy in it too. I hope we can all get together soon, it has been too long... if any of you want to come stay with me and have a vacation, let me know! I love you all and am so happy everyone is healthy and happy....

Callista is ~8~ !!!!

So, I don't have any pictures to post yet, because Chris took them all on the camcorder, so I will try to get some video on here soon- but she had a great birthday! To start with, she got her ears pierced, since this was the magic 8th birthday-keeping in tradition with my family.... She did not even flinch- she is so brave! We also went to school, where she did knock knock jokes in her talent show at school- very adorable! Then we did popsicles at school, and then she came home and took Grandma Jan to her gymnastics class.... this was her last week in her regular class- next week she will start her team! They had a great time watching her, and then we all had dinner and lots of presents. She loved them all, especially her Ipod and I-dog (the fuzzy one)... she also got a tetherball for the backyard that she LOVES, and a slip n slide, cute clothes, lots of earrings, and very cute books and stickers... To Marmee, GG, and Alyx- she really loved her purple fuzzy pencil and stickers- and everything else...

I was pretty excited that for dessert, she did not want a traditonal cake, but picked out black forest parfaits instead- yummy!!! it was really good- the only problem is that today is her last day of school and was going to be her movie/slumber party, but she ended up with the flu!!!
Teagyn had it yesterday and feels better now, but we had to cancel and hopefully we will redo the party next week- so, she sends her love and thanks to everyone and really had a good birthday for the most part- we will make up the party soon for her- it's a bummer to be sick, huh?

Thanks again, everyone- love you!
