Our Friday Night Entertainment~Boo jumping in the lake, Birds diving at him because they have babies in a nest nearby, crawdads peeking out of rocks to see what he's doing, and dragonflies shedding their skins in front of us. Chels called to see if Boo was ready to come home and he said "Not even close". We then went on a moonlight boat ride with the neighbors and frog hunting til midnight. TGIF


Heart Leaf in the thorn bush in our backyard. Love is everywhere if you look hard enough. And the Supreme Court Rules Same Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide. The most significant change in laws about marriage since the court struck down state bans on inter-racial marriage almost 50 years ago.

DISABILITIES~SO TRUE.

Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities." --Fred Rogers  (Mister Rogers) 

It was a full week end. Boo's smiles say it all.

 Fri night was my playgroup and we saw The Little Mermaid. It was amazing. Wish I had a grand baby with me to share that with. Wendell & Travis spent Fri night and moved Sat. Tad and his wife and 4 kids came over for a paddle boat ride and picnic in the afternoon. At night we took Boo to the Bee's Game with fireworks. They won 8-7 in the bottom of the 9th inning by hitting a home run. Glad we didn't go Sun like we previously planned as they lost to the same team 17-0.
Sun morning Shawn came over to show us his new motorcycle accessories and take Tom for a ride and in the afternoon we took Boo to the movie Jurassic World. After we switched kids and took Miss Bee and Boo went lizard hunting with Chels. In the middle of all that we did real estate and cleaned house and shopped. Yes today it's back to work to rest up. :)

From my colorado kids...

While eating breakfast clay was giving Liam blueberries and he was stuffing them in his mouth. Tara told him "Liam you are the cutest little boy".  Clay said without a beat Killian said " yea mom, that's because he's still little!"

Mimi Day 061015 When we went to bed last night Tom said " Now that was a Grandma Day!!!"

I made vinyl and traded it for 5 antique rolling pins. Boo got his tooth pulled and decided to hang out with Mimi all day. He's getting some love from mom here. 


Then around 5 he got to feeling better and caught the first blue gill in a couple years.  He said "my day started out so bad having a tooth pulled and is ending so good with catching a fish"  Make that 8 fish total and one big old frog. 

and little Miss Bee just learned to crawl this week. And by the end of today she had figured out how to pull herself up on the ottoman and stood 3 times. Oh man. That was fast!
