The Graduate

Okay, so this was taken from a long way from the podium but I got the shot and you can tell she's proud and WE were all proud of her! This wonderful kid lives in Denver and flys all over the country in her job. She's incredible, brilliant, and beautiful....what more could a mom ask! Oh, and by the way? She does triathlons in her spare time! Jeeeez. If you're lucky enough to have raised great kids like I have....count your blessings. I do, every day. All three of them are the greatest!

AHEWG and IJW August 14, 2009

They are the most wonderful kids (not so much kids anymore) but they're MY kids! This silly shot of them was taken at my other wonderful kid's dinner after her graduation from Denver University. Awesome!

Funny how all of our eyes disappear when we smile! I hate that!

WTF

seems that AL (or as I prefer to call him, Aholian) has won the battle....MoFM couldn't fight it any longer....sad, sad, sad. it is good that he's turned over a whole new forest, country, globe...but at what cost? guess as long as he's keeping MoFM happy i'm good with it....i reckon choosing husband over blog is the right thing to do....IF he maintains his current behavior!




summer has been extremely good, so far.....been to Vegas, Palm Springs, Cabo....caught some kind of weird virus, got a raise at work...i'm spending this weekend at the beach with the grandkids......yeah, i'll let ya know how THAT turns out.



my poor little dog had 8 teeth pulled, then spent two weeks with my buds, Kevin and Damien while he was recuperating...they were really good to him.....poor little dude had the teeth pulled just before my two weeks wandering around the country....sorry, guys! they're awesome with Mr Pimms....they have spaniel, Maggie that just loves Mr Pimms so it works out very well...



i'll post some pics now since i haven't been on here in months, and now that MoFM isn't anymore....well, you get the drift.

Pop's 90th Birthday 10/30/2008

For Pop's 90th, me and my three fantastic kids and MOFM's BB traveled to sunny Southern Cal....was a great day for my Pop! Top pic is a cousin . (I have a crazy female cousin who thought this cousin should marry HER even if they were first cousins...she even named her son after him...like I said, she's crazy.)

Next is one of my nieces. She's always been the beautiful cousin and that really hasn't changed. She has 3 kids, two by this husband, and 1 by the first husband. She also took on husband #2's 5 kids... they have a great life in

NoCal with lots of land and stuff....

Next is me and my brothers with Pop. It was kinda tough this year, as we had my sis' funeral this time last year...

Then there's a big chunk of the family....a few didn't make it into this picture for some crazy reason...probably eating!

A great time was had by all....the next day was Disneyland for MOFM, BB, and TL and Bro...
