Summer Lovin'

Playin' shuffleboard with some cousins

Landry partaking of some yummy Morris Reunion desserts

Merry Go Rounding with my cuzins

They actually stopped laughing and chatting long enough to smile for the camera!

The pitiful looking craft we made this year ( it is a splash bomb made of out of cut up sponges and fishing line...)

we made special cards for special family members with cancer, and one who is in Iraq!

Yes, this is a hail storm, in which the children wanted to "collect" the stones via styrofoam cups...( Oh, to be young ...)

Landry and her new cute shades - what else?  pink POLKA DOTS!

Lawson at swim lessons with a big surprise...his friend "Titus" was there, too!

Just call him "Splash"  - that's him, alright!  

Being silly in the car ( this is AFTER 6 hours was under our belt!)

A little more serious after 8 hours...

We are definitely LOVIN' SUMMER!  As you can tell by the photos, we have been doing a myriad of things so far!  As I have told Land:  "You have no reason to put that sad face on - we have done SOMEthing FUN EVERY DAY since you were released from school.  So, here is a look at all we have done.  We have had play dates with friends, we swam nearly every day.   We LOVED on FAMILY at the reunion, we've had sleepovers, and so much more.   We still have a couple of VBSes to do and a VERY SPECIAL MOTHER/DAUGHTER TRIP TO VIRGINIA to see my SISTER-IN LOVE & SMILEY KYLEE!     Now, we are off to the library for some summer reading FUN.  We wish you a splashtastic summer time!

Morris Reunion 2008

We are glad to be home after a WILD RUIDOSO REUNION 2008...  Our first adventure included a special tour of the RUIDOSO, NEW MEXICO EMERGENCY ROOM!  Lawson had a fight with the downstairs fireplace at our condo - and, well, the fireplace WON. Needless to say, this blog post is not for the squeamish - - - So BEWARE of head injury photos up ahead! .....  Oh, and if it helps YOUR feelings any, while some of these photos were being taken, he was saying:  "  Are they gonna take my eyeball out?"   And, then about 2 hours later : " Why do we have to stay here?...Can't I just get a band aid and a popsicle and go home?"  Yah - we had to laugh, too.  

Happy Birthday BOYS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!

Our Handsome Birthday Boys!...

(special thanks to Aunt Shauna for the cute "matchy - matchy" shirts!)

Boys with their? toys...

Yes, our two guys turned one year older this week - and we are grateful for each of them - We love you Keenan and Lawson!   

Here are some benefits of being married to the eldest of the birthday boys....

 I know all components of an R-22 helicopter ( who do you think was his study buddy?)

 Our house is full of lots of laughter

 Our home is full of lots of WHISTLING....IN TUNE!

 I never have to repair ANYTHING in my house. ( Unless he is just simply GONE)

 I have free in house IT support  - or tele-support

 I can, now quote every highlight in each episode of "The Office"

 I have a daughter with ONE dimple on her left cheek because of HIM ( so cute...)

 I never have to wonder about what mood he is going to be in - He only has ONE:  Happy.

 I am a blessed mother who is allowed the privilege to be a "never-at-home" mom with two  beautiful children and am surrounded by anything and everything we need ( and even some  things we want) All because of that hard work....

 And Finally, the greatest benefit to marrying this June 1st baby is The constant "I Love You's " I get each and every day....  I love you, too Keenan!

How to tell if you are Lawson's mother.....

You always have a hot wheel located somewhere in your purse.

You have "Cars", the movie - memorized - including soundtrack.

You are always getting lots of "I love you mommy"s and hugs

You get extra special kisses on your hand or arm?

You get new carpet because the littlest birthday boy hoses down your old carpet.

You laugh ALOT because of the HILARIOUS & witty stuff he says each day...

And FINALLY, the best way to tell if you are Lawson's mother is, well, we all know you AREN'T... So, I will just say I LOVE YOU, LAWSON!
