Helping Dad on the dozer

Jerry's Daylilies

This is just one of the gorgeous daylilies that are blooming right now in the yard. Steve's sweet daddy, Jerry, had a daylily farm in Mississippi. Every visit he would arrive with a new plant or two for our very bare yard. We lost Jerry about 51/2 years ago and he is so very missed. Each time I look at these plants, I am reminded of him. He was eccentric and stubborn and so very special.

Fun at the water park

looks like his daddy~
these guys look kinda tough!!!

my little supermodel....

Ran's last day of school

yes, I know...school has been out for over a month and I have not posted..hey, i've been busy!!! without further adieu....here is Ran and Miss Shell, his very sweet and cute-as-can-be kindergarten teacher! Don't we all always and forever remember our kindergarten teacher.....well, according to sweet hubby, he had 4 kindergarten teachers ( no, he didn't get held back 4 years in a row for kindy...his family moved ...ALOT!)and he can't remember any of them!

Summertime

what is it about summer that just begs for an afternoon nap? Maybe it is the (almost) daily trips to the pool or the hot Texas sun...whatever it is...it makes me sleepy!
We have been kinda busy trying to stay busy....Morning trips to the "extra size place"...that is what Copeland calls the gym...ha! I am trying to avoid an "extra size", honey!!! That is why we are here!!!! Both she and Ran have made friends with the brutal cardio teacher's kids....they also go to the water park with Vanessa and I.....Can I just say that my idea of a relaxing afternoon is NOT sitting next to my very tall and thin BFF and Cardio Queen Christi in their bikinis....c'mon girls ...cut a sista a little slack! LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!
