we remember our brave soldiers-our heros...thank you for ALL you do...this weekend we spent wonderful times with the family...
( lil' munchkins: ian, shioban and cousin, hannah )
all...
saw many things on our mini get-away... esp. this lil' guy...
this lil' tractor said it all...even when times are tough...you've gotta keep on pluggin' away...
this will be our mantra...
i think i can...i know i can...YES I CAN...
beauty all around...i simply love poppy flowers...wish it could stay for the whole season...how pretty my in-laws garden down at the farm...serenity...ahhhhh
swimming+playing+relaxing=total enjoyment!
it was also grampy's 73rd b-day...we celebrated in style with a riboff + dessertoff...
the ribs were excellent...dh and b-i-l went head to head...we all voted anonymously and well it was a tie! s-i-l made delicious lemon chiffon cuppies and brownies, while i made mint choco cookies, oatmeal cream pies and carmel corn...oh, yes, my other s-i-l brought a bag of m&ms (lol) to complete the dessertoff...well...they were all delish so again...a tie! next bakeoff will be the battle of the chocolate chip cookies...mmm!
it sure was a fantastic weekend with the fam...great r&r...
we hope you had a great weekend too...
