Graduation Party 2013

Well tomorrow is the big day, my brother graduates from high school... crazy!!!

My parents hosted a graduation party for my brother & three other boys a few nights ago.

The dinning room table was set up with a Milk & Cookie bar.... 

because they all are .....One Smart Cookie!

 

Skeet shooting, volleyball, outdoor movie & dance dance was on 

the menu for a fun filled night...

Dinner was all things pasta.....

Happy Graduation class of 2013....

especially to that one special guy we call BROTHER!!!

 

Island Dreaming...

 I wouldn't mind heading back to Nantucket this summer....

Oh lil' miss you were so small last year this time!!! 

wishing I could slow down time ... my baby is growing too fast!!!

Lemon, Blueberry love...

Sweet baby #2  has been just like lil' miss in the sickness (ugh) & craving department!

 So fruit has been my main love & I have been drooling over 

many fruity recipes on pinterest lately....

A Practice Run...

My older sister is blessed to have a job where she can pick & choose the days & hours she wants to work. So the days she does work we get lil' guy & it has been giving me practice for what life will be like this coming October (-:

& I can honestly say nothing too overwhelming pretty much sweet !!

I have learned that lil' miss loves with a fierce love.. 

meaning never leave her alone with any baby (-:

she means well, but just not old enough to know love from pain.... if you get my drift!

it's so sweet to see these two grow up together... 

she adores him & he adores her

What's for Dinner?

We

Have NO

idea... SERIOUSLY?!

lil' miss where are you?

The possibilities of that question are endless... getting into daddy's golf balls, hanging with Laney, taking out everything in mommy's purse or daddy's wallet, putting on mommy's lipstick....

...the list goes on (-:

But the other day the house was quiet & no lil' miss in sight... 

but in the darkness of her room I heard her lil' breath...

she had gotten up in the chair & was so proud of herself!

lil' miss if I could freeze time I would, because you are at such a fun age!!!

A Day Well Spent...

to me means getting a lil' dirty, 30 or so bags of mulch & pretty flowers ready to be planted...

Can't believe its May & we are just now bringing spring into our flower beds, 

part is due to the cooler weather & a large part is due to

 Sweet Baby #2.. keeping me sick just like lil' miss did.

this spring we had extra special hands to help us....

this child LOVES being outside but HATES wearing her hat....

so far team parents are winning but wow it's been a fight!

lunch time

& cousin stopped by to see the progress!

overseeing that daddy does a good job with her flowers!

Happy Saturday!
