NYC June 21

This was a fun little Saturday excursion. This shot is from the Statue of Liberty across the Hudson of Lower Manhattan. It was such a gorgeous day to be outside.

This KID Kills me....

Ok, here is my Drew Drew doing what he does best; singing Hannah Montana songs. I think I may have quite the performer on my hands here. Tanner and Brady refuse photos taken at all costs, but Drew is happiest in front of a camera. I love it. Way to go buddy!

Fun at the Park

It is an absolutely gorgeous morning, so Drew and I decided to go to the park for a while. He had so much fun climbing on everything. While were were there a huge blimp flew right overhead and he flipped out with excitement so I took a photo for him. The blimps dock at our small little local airport down the road a bit so sometimes we drive by and get to see them up close. They really are gigantic. We had a nice time playing.

8th Grade Graduation

Last night I spent 2+ hours at the middle school for Tanner's graduation ceremony. We had pretty good seats. I could not figure out how to change the properties on my digital camera so the only photos that turned out were from my Blackberry. None of the photos I tried to take of Tanner turned out. It was a good ceremony though. All the class addresses were great and inspirational. Tanner looked great. Wish he would have allowed to take a picture. Oh well.

Andrew in Concert

Here is Drew singing his favorite Hannah Montana song.

Mom Stuns Audience....

Ok, yes i realize this is ridiculous, but I have an addiction, and it is called Guitar Hero. I have been playing ever since my sister brought the computer version home. I played and played and finally bought it for PS2, and lemme tell ya, I am a natural. I have since purchased 2 other versions, and have completed all the songs on the discs. Well, this is a photo accomplishment of my highest note streak ever in a song, 541! Before this my highest was low 300's. HA HA! Yes, moms can play video games and beat them.

It's Official...

Andrew is set and ready to start at Goddard for their summer camp program. He will attend 3 full days a week, including individual swim lessons on Thursdays at our local pool. He will be bussed to pool and then bussed back to campus for the rest of his day. This summer program is so he can acclimate to being there 5 full days a week starting in September, when I start my nursing program. This is a most amazing school/ daycare. They have the top educational curriculum in the country. I am so excited for him, as is his daddy, and rest of family.

My Boys SHINE!!!

I am pleased to announce, and beaming with pride, that both Tanner and Brady have been nominated for, and WON awards for excellence in school performance. Tanner is receiving award for Social Studies Student of the Year for 8th Grade. Brady won 6th Grade Student of the Year award, accompanied with a $100 savings bond. Both boys have ceremonies to attend. I am so proud of them for their achievements. WAY TO GO BOYS!!! I love you.

The Sad facts about Mother Nature

One afternoon last week, this poor fawn was found next to/ under my neighbors car. Apparently after a mother gives birth, she leaves the baby for 24 hours to go recover and relax or what have you. My friend called the Police to find out what to do, and he said we should NOT touch the deer. Explained the process of things after the birth and said the poor deer here get cars confused with bushes bc there is little space left for them. Cop said if the deer was still there the next morning to call and they would come get it. Thankfully the deer was gone in the morning, so the mom did come back and get her baby.

Mommy Snips

This is Drew all clean cut and shaven....I cut his hair this morning before school. I think he looks great. He said, "Wow Mom, you did great; I like it". Nothing like a 4 year old to bolster your self-esteem.
