Family Reunion Part One

I don't know why I am even writing this up because it's mostly just my family who reads this and YOU WERE ALL THERE! I know because I was there too. And most of my friends also read my families blogs. But then again, can you really get to much of a good thing?Evey family reunion needs to start out with an oops or end with a duh! Our started out with a DUH OOPS! That truck ran over the wheel chair ramp in my sisters (white) van.
HA! No one else got this picture so it is priceless.Banana pointing to Wisconsin at Mount Rushmore. Thank you Aunt Melanie for holding up her "tired" arm.

Look whose watching my kids! I love my family!

Um, some random guys carved in granite.

impression of um, said guys.

Wait!! Why am I watching them again? OK, they sure are cute.
And we do make a cute family.

Manly man B-Day/ Father's Day

This year the manly man's birthday was the same day as Father's day. That sure made things easy for me. Just one day and I was covered for the year! I feel a little bit guilt because if my birthday fell on Mother's day- it would have to be the biggest bash ever! Seriously.But I was such a good D.G. that I made him two pies. The pecan pie was for his Birthday and the strawberry rhubarb was for Father's Day. And yes, they do look beautiful don't they. Thanks for mentioning it. For dinner I made shrimp kabobs with mango, purple onions, portabello mushroom and red bell peppers with a butter, garlic sauce . Yumm! Ok, not really for me. I did eat my two shrimp and now I am done for the year. But I enjoyed everything else.

Sunday walk

Grandma and Grandpa came to visist us for the weekend. We had such a good time with them and we wished that they could have stayed longer.
One of the highlights was taking a Sunday walk together.

It was great to be together as a family and enjoying the beauty of the earth.

Things that are blooming

Even though my pea plants are gone, there are a few things in my yard that are going right.
My roses and my Salvia.
My roses are just beginning to bloom. Rose #1. If any of you know how I should prune them, please let me know.

Rose #2. Look at all those rose buds!
