I don’t have a lot of pictures proofed yet from June 2009, but I do have a few that I uploaded. This was our summer vacation month, so just lots to dig through. Been really busy at work, trying to get mulch done, weather not cooperating, helping dad, etc. Hope you are all having a wonderful, blessed time!
Wow, so very fast approaching the end of what I have ready to upload. There are some fun ones in here, mostly birthdays and school celebrations. I’m starting to proof the ones from our St. Louis vacation last year.
It has officially been 1 month & 2 days since mom’s passing. It still doesn’t seem real, honestly. I did a page about her (the prompt topic was “a page about love”) and it just seems like the pictures were taken yesterday, but they were of her holding my babies. Well, 009 as a baby. 006 (almost 007!) didn’t like anyone to hold him except me, Bob, my dad & Bob’s dad Bob. PERIOD.
Going to work on the mulch project today (the boys & I were excited to start the “Mulch Expansion Project 2010” on Tuesday. Yea, a bit of a late bloomer, I am. Dad’s coming over later and I think we are going to lay the foundations for my raised beds in the garden for next year. Have a totally cool idea I want to try that I saw in one of my very yummy gardening magazines. Boys are gone this weekend so I’ve been goofing off & trying to catch up a bit on things around the house. Like laundry, dusting, mulching & scrapping. Too wet to caulk, so maybe next Saturday.
Last weekend we went over to see Kevin play football. OK, he did mostly standing around. Some walking. As a frosh, he doesn’t get much game time. We got there at half-time. He goes to a school that still has K-12 in the same building. How cool is that. They ended up loosing due to a couple of critical errors, but there were some good plays made by both teams & the boys had a BLAST. We took dad, he had a good time too, I think. Then Saturday Kelli took us to a very cool, working flour mill. You know, with the grindstones & everything. Took way too many pictures, I think I was irritating everyone. Dad drove, that was weird, but I took some naps & read & that was cool. But was so ready to be home by the time we got home.
When I pick the boys up on Sunday, it won’t be Bob who will have them, but his girlfriend. It’s the first time with her by herself. It will be weird, I think. I’m hoping we can have supper together so I can get to know her better.
So here are the pictures that are my faves!
My sweet 005, he is my little lovey boy.
My dad’s favorite pasttime.
My tax refund check in ’09. It now has rubber mulch all underneath of it & around. Then around that it has wood much & bushes (that’ wehre I’ve been weeding & mulching. It goes to the second pine tree in the middle (directly “behind” the slide). Project Mulch Expansion 2010 will take it from there, all the way to the road, around the phone box you can just barely see by the mailbox.
Looking it it from the other angle. Shows you the corner that you couldn’t see in the other picture.
005 looking sad because there “wasn’t anything to do and I don’t want to be here” Mother’s Day 2009.
Me, on Mother’s Day. I love Pizza Hut, so that is where we went. Even went there on my senior prom, but that’s another story…
008 trying to get all 3 of us. Again, on Mother’s Day. These are the things that make me happy!
Being silly eating snowcones at the school carnival.
More snowcone action. Love those eyes!
Games, games, games (oh, and some chaos too, for good measure) it was a blast!
He always gets so lucky!
He ended up with over 100 AR points that year, my Mr. 008 I love to read!
More happiness!
My wonderful, sweet, grumpy, attitude-ful nephew Kevin. Love you buddy! We had his party at my house because it was just so much easier on Mom. D&K&K live 2 hours away. She was not doing well at the time.
