In Honor of Jaydan

I love that Julie likes to party and is always thinking of others.  Since most of the family wasn't able to be at Jaydan's Graduation and we didn't really plan anything at the time, Julie thought it would be a nice thing to do.  She got us together tonight for a Surprise Dinner for Jaydan.  He was surprised and it was fun. We went to Lucky China.  That is the place to go with a big group.  You get a lot of food for a great price.  I didn't get Gramps, Larry, Sam Horrocks or me in the picture but we were there too...so was Kam. (she must be behind someone)

I love celebrating my kids and their success's. I'm so proud of each of them and all that they accomplish.  It's fun to watch the direction they choose.  I just might add.....I have great kids!

Happy Birthday Trichelle

I LOVE this day....August 23.  This is the day that my dreams came true and I became a mommy to this Beautiful Girl!  What a blessing Trichelle has been to me in my life.  I have enjoyed her so much and have always learned so much from her.  She has been patient with me as I have learned to be a mommy.  We have always been good friends and have been able to share most things with each other.
I enjoy spending time with Trichelle.  Trichelle is smart and funny and witty and caring and patient and creative and beautiful (inside and out) and absolutely wonderful.  I love being Trichelle's mommy.  I love that she has always liked hanging out with me and the family.  I admire this girl and the strength that she has.

I'm so glad that she was born to me.  I have always been so proud of her...what a blessing she is to me and our entire family.  She's a wonderful first child.

It's hard to believe that Trichelle is older than I feel.  It's a strange thing about life.  Our bodies get older but our spirits reach an age and stop!  I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with these cute girl of mine.  I love her so much!

Not a Volleyball

I was talking to Robin today after our walk around the block.  Funny that we don't say everything in those 3 miles.  Anyway I noticed something in the branches of our tree out front.  At first I thought it was a volleyball...I didn't have my contact in yet.  I mentioned to Robin and when we looked closer I could tell it was a wasp nest....a HUGE wasp nest!  I saw a few wasps flying in and out of the little hole.  It's  a pretty cool nest but will no longer be in service as of Monday.  The Pest Control guy is coming to spray our house and will be taking care of this place too.  I am very interested in seeing the nest up close....it looks like it is wrapped in paper.
