A perfect day....

"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken"

James Dent

Our lawn mower wasn't broken....but what a perfect summer day this was!

(and thanks to Uncle Jimmy,  there may have been a couple rabbits

 that didn't feel the same way about it ! )

The more candles...the bigger the wish!

Happy, happy birthday Nathan.  Here's wishing you a big win in your basketball tournament...a great weekend celebration...and the chance to sneak another piece of your birthday ice cream cake!   Love you, Nathan!

Happy Birthday, Tyler!

Few things are more satisfying

than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.

Doug Larson

Unbelievable....T is 13?  Where did that time go?  Soon you'll be driving something a lot faster than Grandpa's lawn tractor!   Welcome to your teenage years, Tyler.  And to your Mom and Dad....enjoy the journey, rough waters ahead!  In the blink of an eye, you'll be looking back, laughing....take time to enjoy each and every day of it.  Love you Tyler!

Heroes....

America is the land of the free....because  we are the home of the Brave!
Thanks for all you do, Kevin...and those that walked that line before you...Joe, Grandpa Von, Grandpa Bill, Joe's Dad, Joseph...Great Grandpa Fred....and soon to be Jake!
